Amir Garrett - SF - Findlay Prep - Las Vegas, NV - ST. JOHN'S

Looks like he will wait until spring to sign. I like his attitude that hes not letting the fact that other very good wings have committed to SJU affect his decision. Seems like he wants to win and will welcome the friendly competition. I hope he visits us and lets Lavin work his magic. Him and Pelle seem like they will be the focus in the spring along with Gods Gift.

Don't always believe what you read. This is no slight to Zags either but don't expect him to wait unless there is something I don't know about his academics.

Zags is usually on top of things is why I posted it and if he does indeed sign in the early period would that hurt us because he hasn't even visited campus.

it says he MAY wait

He has yet to be on an official visit, but Garrett has visited St. John's unofficially.

No fault to Zags as he's reporting what he's getting from Garrett which is exactly his job. I'm telling you that the only reason he'd SIGN in the spring would be due to some sort of academic issue. I have to look into that deeper though.

Not to compare Garrett to Derwin Kitchen as their situations aren't similar but just to remind people that when Kitchen signed here and was not cleared academically that prevented him from coming here again after he went to JUCO.

would Lavin let Garrett play baseball for SJU ? Amazing how some people can excel at 2 sports !

Not sure if he would but I don't think it matters as Garrett has said he isn't playing baseball in college.

Saw a guy interview him on Fox and Garrett said he throws 93 MPH !   

The other players on the team will need a catchers mitt to catch Amirs passes. 

hope his passes have no movement like his fastball

Remember Terry Bross ? He played basketball and baseball at SJU. The mets drafted him. The guy was taller then Randy Johnson.

Respond much to yourself?

Dashingwave2010- I know you're new so but it should be pretty evident by the way everyone conducts themselves here that posting 4 times in a row with 1 sentence spamming a thread is unacceptable. You can simply edit your post if something slipped your mind or you can delete and repost.

You should post in the new members thread, tell everyone about yourself.

Considering:
Oregon St. John's UNLV California Kansas

Why they want him: Garrett is a high-flying, high-energy wing who will excel in an up-tempo system. His combination of length and lateral quickness are his big attributes as well as the attitude and toughness to be a great defender. If he continues to improve his shooting and ballhandling skills, he has a good chance to rise up the rankings.

Recruiting update: Garrett, who says Oregon and St John's are the leaders, is leaning toward signing in the late period. He had a great official visit to Oregon, but is being patient as he sorts through the recruiting process. Coach Steve Lavin is tough to beat on the recruiting trail and the fact that Garrett has West Coast ties could make it interesting.

 Findlay Prep star Amir Garrett will take an official visit to St. John's tomorrow. He will be accompanied by Norvel Pelle on the visit.

Oh man this is going to be a HUGE weekend. seal the deal with pelle and amir grab one or 2 other juco bigs and we are set up for a great future

potentially HUUUUUGE weekend ahead!!!

Wow this is great news for us that they are visiting together this weekend.

what do they say on rivals about this story

We'd be like WV on steriods if we landed these two.  Seriously, WV had no great PG and no great center, but they had three long, athletic, and versatile wings--two were only SOPH's!  They made it to the Final Four with that trio, b/c they were just too long and athletic and could play inside and out.

We'd have a MUCH BETTER backcourt in three years with Thomas, Lindsey, and Harrison.  We'd have a much better center to complement the athletic wings in Pelle.  And we'd have five RIDICULOUS forwards that would all be older than Ebanks and Jones were. 

Just think about how athletic and long guys like Pelle, Harkless, Pointer, POLEE, GARRETT, and Sampson are.  I'm guessing Sampson would be the Ebanks-type player for this squad.
