You ought to see what some of the Kentucky "writers" do or ask & rival Louisville is just a step behind them.

Per Scout.com (via Moose on Redmen.com)....  "Three Stick Out For Garrett"   It's the Johnnies, Kansas and Oregon, as we pretty much knew. 


New St. John�s coach Steve Lavin is a former west coast guy and he�s reached out to Garrett. According to Garrett his style of play is one of the many reasons he�s considering the Red Storm.
�I talk to coach Lavin a lot,� Garrett said. �He�s a cool dude. Coach Lavin likes to play fast and I like to play fast. He has a great staff and he�s a good coach.�


Kansas managed to make his top three, despite having not offered. Garrett seems interested in the Jayhawks because of their past success.
�With Kansas, its Kansas,� he said. �It�s cool that they even have interest in me. I just want to keep my options and hear what they have to say

I think Coach Lavin is in it towards the end (right under the basket-where he was sitting). A writer, Seth Davis, was conducting an interview nearby. I was in the background on this one a few times [Pangos in Long Beach, Fab 48 at Bishop Gorman in LV].

According, to Neal Nieves (Coast 2 Coast Recruiting)....  Things are looking pretty good for the Johnnies with Garrett.

Really reminds me of a more athletic DJ Kennedy.

exactly what i said dave..the way he moves and the way he finishes around the basket look very similar and of course the fact they are both lefties which i love...if amir produced close to what dj has i would sign up for it in a second

I have a feeling he's going to have a sick senior season at Findley with Nick Johnson and Myck Kabongo.  Between playing with those 2 and concentrating on basketball watch him blow up. 

Amir said he is down to 3 schools

Kansas, Oregon and St. John's

I saw this tweet on FB and it made me think he committed to SJU.

I see it more as RT @TheRecruitScoop '11 @Amir_Garrett of Findlay Prep tells me he is down to three schools: St. Johns, St. Johns, St. Johns

assuming thats just not a mistake it is very promising news

lol you guys need to do your twitter homework.

look at the original tweet then look at mine.

Getting Garrett would give us so much depth at the 3 spot...like more than we have ever had before especially in recent years

Garrett and/ or Harkless can play a tall 2-guard, it seems.  Allows for mixing and matching and harder-to-penetrate defenses (if they're quick-footed).

Yeah I really see Amir at the 2.
Hopefully with Brown or Harrison.

Does anyone know if Garret or Harkless can bring the ball up? Maybe distribute a little.

That's prob going to be Lavin's selling point looking at our what we have now with Polee, Harkless and Sampson. 

We'd look pretty good playing a zone with all that length on the court.

Garrett is considered one of the better defenders in the class.
