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

Garrett is the size of Paris Horne. Asking him to play the 3 at the college level is ambitious enough.

LOL Garrett is most often listed at 6'6 and I've seen him listed at 6'7.  Paris was 6'3.  Garrett also has absurd length and has played the PF before.  The scouting reports before Findley had him a post man that was transitioning to the wing. 
I think Garrett would be simlar to Polee in the post--he can probably handle his own but is not an ideal four.  The good news is that we play a zone and Garrett and Polee will both be able to defend three positions. 

At the Westmont game, I walked past him and I'm telling you, he's not 6'5. I'm not sure he's 6'4.

Garrett?

Yes

whatever he is, he is taller than paris

Yes

Seen him twice in person I say he's 6'6.

I'm 6'3. No way he's more than a hair taller than me. Unless I'm growing, and that would be something.

I dont care what height he is when he gets to the rim he will dunk on anyone in america. He would have one the NBA dunk contest easy.

Good lord what a block.

I think this kid looks so underrated. He has a nice skill set and as we have seen by his play in HS is willing to play any role in order to help the team win. Garrett is a guy that doesn't need to score to be an effective player but I think he has the tools to be one of it not the best all around player in the class of ours.

I second that wods.

You see these highlights of him and he is not allowed to do any of this on his highschool team. I think if given the chance he will really be able to blossom into a capable scorer.

He just accepted his role with Findlay and played the team game, per se'.  It's good he did so, as he showed he is a team-first guy.  OTOH, you can also see what he can do when given the opportunity (to show his skills).  He seems capable of doing much more than what he showed at Findlay.

I believe today Garrett had a statement similar to Harrison and basically said SJU will win it all.

So let's get this straight....our sixth highest ranked recruit just won MVP of a pretty respectable All-Star game ?   My how things have changed.

No kidding!  LOL  Seems like night and day over the past year.  Garrett has some herky-jerky to his game. 

Is it October yet?

Everyone gave this graduating class props for coming here when we were down.

This class should also be held in a similar light.  They came here to a coach who hadn't coached in 7 years and committed pretty much before even seeing us play.  They took a big leap and put STJ back on the map.  Even some knowing they would be joined by so many others.

Really can't wait to see these guys over the next 4 yrs.

I agree!  The graduating class opened the door.  I have a hunch this class is gonna knock down walls!

Garrett is BALLISLIFE Player of the Week....  Most of the same highlights we saw about a week ago.
