Anthony Wroten Jr. - PG - Garfield HS - Seattle, WA - WASHINGTON

Well he is Nate Robinson cousin, even more of a reason the Knicks need to resign Nate after this year i am sure  that will help if Nate is still playing in NY

nah probably not

Won't be allowed to play in his high school season.  Caught living in a different district.

With our luck, he'll actually sign, but then ask to be released from his LOI when Nate gets traded.

Lance & Anthony were going at for a little while at the elite 24 last year.That is when I found out Nate was his cousin.

It is a win , win for both teams , Nate was the Knicks MVP last year filling up the stats sheet in many categories

Worten looked very talented & show a lot of heart not backing down from Lance at Rucker

When was the ls time we got a top 5 prospect?

I would go after Wroten, Jr. and have Robinson aide in the recruitment.  I'm not gonna turn this into a Norm-bash (and, I hope this doesn't start one on this thread)....  But I'd feel much more confident, if we had a coach who could 'seal the deal,' per se'. 

Might be tough getting nate's help considering nate played three years at U Washington. I don't know what makes people think just becasue nate is in NY that he would want his cousin to come to unstable program rather than play for Romar who nate played for himself.

I would go after Wroten, Jr. and have Robinson aide in the recruitment. 

isn't it a violation for St. John's to ask a pro player to help recruit..?

That pro player also went to UW, so I'm not sure why he'd help us in the first place.

I'm sure it is!  But, I bet that haven't stopped other schools from using such tactics.

This is true!  I'm sure Robinson would rather his cousin go to the University of Washington and play Romar (same school and coach that he played under).  But, I wouldn't doubt that Robinson wouldn't mind his cousin coming out to New York, if Robinson felt he'd be a Knick for a few more seasons.

Robinson might not even be with the ny next year...word is he wants to go play in Portland but they are loaded at his position.

I hate Norm, but he and the staff do seem to do a good job when they actually manage to get a kid on campus for something other than a courtesy visit. If we can keep this kid interested long enough to get him here, you never know.

Anthony Wroten Jr., 6-5, Seattle Rotary Select, 2011: Wroten had a slow start against All Ohio Red, but he really picked it up in the second half, finishing with 13 points – 11 coming in the latter period. He was hampered by a sprained ankle, so he had difficulty driving to the basket, but he was effective on pull-up three-pointers. He is acrobatic when going to the rim, and has the ability to kick it out to an open teammate.

Wroten told NBE that he is very interested in coming east to play in college and schools under serious consideration in that scenario would be Villanova, Louisville, Seton Hall and St. John’s.

“I just like the Big East style of play,” he said. “Most everybody in the Big East plays uptempo. That’s the type of style I like.”

Who are his favorites?

“‘Nova and Syracuse, they’re the top two,” he said.

He likes Villanova’s “guard play, they get after it.”

As for the Orange, “I like how they play, the zone. And it’s a big football region.”

He also likes UConn, St. John’s and Seton Hall.

“I’m serious about [UConn] and I’m real serious about St. John’s, too,” he said. “They play in the Garden, it’s in the Big East, it’s in New York City.”

WROTEN LIKES ‘CUSE

Seattle (Wash.) Garfield 2011 point guard Tony Wroten says he has a favorite school.

“Syracuse,” Wroten wrote in a text.

The No. 2 point guard in the Class of 2011 is also being courted by Villanova, Louisville, St. John’s and Seton Hall in the Big East and Grambling, Southern and Florida A&M outside of it.
