Just about every story written around the time St. John's hired Steve Lavin questioned whether a West Coast guy could successfully recruit in the Northeast, but the former UCLA coach always believed that issue was overblown.

He admits attracting promising local talent will be important to his program's revival. He just doesn't believe New York-area recruits necessarily have to be the lifeblood of the St. John's program.
