Here is the article from Rivals:  http://stjohns.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1148462


St. John's has fortified themselves with a bevy of Rivals.com 4-star recruits.

Rivals.com 5-star Norvel Pelle
This weekend, Johnnies head coach Steve Lavin and his coaching staff will be entertaining two more high level recruits and it's quite possible that they score a commitment from one or both.

This weekend, Findley Prep star, Amir Garrett will be taking an official visit to the campus of St. John's. Arriving at the same will be another high major recruit, Norvel Pelle, who will also be taking an official visit.

At 6'5", Garrett is a Rivals.com 4-star senior that plays with energy, has a nice lefty stroke from deep and is the owner of game-changing athleticism and straight-line speed. Garrett hails from Henderson, Nevada.

Pelle is a Rivals 5-star player from Compton, CA who also brings athleticism to the table. The 6'10" center is ranked number two at his position and fits perfectly into Lavin's up-tempo style of play.

The Johnnies are on a roll after securing the commitments in the 2010 class with Dwayne Polee, while adding Maurice Harkless, D'Angelo Harrison, Dominique Pointer, Jakarr Sampson and Nurideen Lindsey in their 2011 class. Most recently, SJU picked up an additional commitment from Jevon Thomas to start off their 2012 class.

With the early signing period beginning next Wednesday, obtaining a commitment of one or both of their weekend guests would be a major coupe' for the St. John's program.

Stay tuned to St. John's Eye of the Storm message board for updates.

FWIW, Jerry Meyer also believes SJU is the team to beat for Pelle.

Show this kid some love tomorrow at the scrimmage.  He's felt unerappreciated the whole recruiting process.  He is an elite talent and deserves more respect.  If we make him feel wanted, we probably have him signed next week.

Underappreciated?
Give me a break.

Let him know that if he (and Pelle) verbally commit this weekend then they'll get showered with lots of love and appreciation.   ;)

I think that all the posters have showed respect for him.

In my interview with Neal Nieves on my show he mentioned that Amir did feel slighted not being recruited by some of the bigger local schools.

If you missed it...

Garrett is supposedly sticking to his guns on being a spring signee.

Per Zags.... Amir Garrett has always maintained he would sign late (in the spring) and that hasn't changed after his SJU visit

Welcome aboard, Amir!  I like the fact we're adding another guy with huge potential (as, his game grew over the spring and summer) to our 2011 class.

Not to mention, he and Pointer are two of the better on-ball defenders in the 2011 class.  Practices should be crazy wild in Queens a season from now.

Once again....  Welcome, Amir!

Wow, this is amazing.  I wonder if Amir was worried about losing his spot in the class if he waited until the spring after seeing Meikle sign today.
