We also know that if he verballed or signed to one of the bigger schools from the Big East... he would have been on the list!
Before we make it into a large conspiracy theory, Reeves Nelson, who also had knee and back issues, dropped 51 spots.
He signed with UCLA, about as a big a school as it gets. Stephen Van Treese, who signed with top 10 Louisville, dropped 41 spots.
Kevin Parrom, DeMarcus Cousins, Aaric Murray, Greg Smith, and Zeke Marshall all signed up to play in weaker conferences than the BE.
Before the summer, Lawrence was ranked 61 and Parrom didn't make the cut.
Now, Parrom is a consensus top 100 player, 83, and Lawrence didn't make the cut.
It didn't have to do with one signing with Xavier and the other with St. John's.
