Doron Lamb would tell NBE that Kansas, Kentucky, Oklahoma, St. John’s, Connecticut, Louisville, Arizona, UCLA and Rutgers were schools in the mix. He has visited Louisville and plans to see Kentucky, Kansas and Oklahoma in the relatively near future.

Lamb Visits St. John's

by Maurice Wingate

Doron Lamb, a 5-Star Rivals.com shooting guard, recently competed in the Rumble in the Bronx Tournament this past weekend. The rising senior played well even though his NY Gauchos team was eliminated in the quarterfinals to a skill Team Florida squad. While in New York City, Lamb took in the sights of the city.

Billy Singleton and Oz Cross were there as spectators watching him this weekend.

Do we actually have a shot or is this gonna be Lance number 2?

it would be more like a syl pt 2 then a lance.

Well I think we have a strong chance if we can get Jayvaughn to commit early, we win early in the season, and if all goes according to plan then we worry about how we get the scholarship. Doron is definitely worth it, I like him a lot.

you got my drift though.

if you are a high level recruit at this point. . why would you come to St. John's..?

Ample playing time, to stay at home, hero/ messiah complex.  There are reasons to go to St. John's, even if the current staff hasn't been able to close the deal.

What is Omari? Wasnt Burrell top 50?

why wouldn't you want to come to St. John's?

Well the only spots I can see open for a lot of PT next year would be C & PG

  Next time we land one, someone should ask.  By high level i assume you mean top 20.

  just playing devils advocate here:

  1. Horrific brand of basketball to both play and watch
   2.  Been almost 10years since program has produced a pro. 
  3.  sparse crowds.
  4.  Jaimaca ain't exactly Chapel Hill

haha, nice.

In truth, a top 20 player with his head on straight and a modicum of defensive ability would be in the starting lineup and carrying the team pretty quickly.  If you don't believe me, well, we're not crossing that bridge this year so you can't challenge that assertion with fact!!!

1. I enjoyed watching our team at times last season.
2. 10 years past has nothing to do with next
3. win and the place will be packed
4. Chapel Hill ain't exactly Madison Square Garden

  of course there were moments that were enjoyable last season.  there were also moments where we didn't score for 10 min at a time,  like once a game.

  If you don't think being able to get kids to the next level affects their college choice then your missing something. 

  when a recruit comes to a game at MSG and there are 5k people there,  what do you think goes through their mind?

  I guess you've never been to Chapel Hill.  Step on campus,  you'll understand.

  PMG  original question was why would a top recruit come to SJU.  No one gave a reason.  i don't want to hear the ressurect the program/messaih routine.  The top NYC player with the biggest messiah complex in the world told us to take a hike.

Peter gave answers before but we can go over more again. Playing time, Big East conference, New York, media, exposure, resources, nice on campus living facilities, tradition, madison square garden, current players on roster all upperclassman. This is off the top of my head but we can think of more things.

I don't see the reason to stir up discussion on why recruits shouldn't pick St. John's.
