Amir has a good career to fall back on if he isnt eligible.

I thought Amir was on SJU Campus already ?

If true, that makes 3 taking summer classes, but not @ SJU ?

Not sure either, but I don't believe that Amir is at risk of not qualifying.

I am pretty sure that St. John's does not have have high school courses.  Why should they? 

You would have thought there were some high schools in NYC where our guys could have gone, instead of in Philly.

Maybe, Coach Lavin will ask the school to implement some high school courses.  However,  it is probably better to stay away from having courses for high school athletes, who are planning on attending your college.

According to this article, Garrett plans on playing minor league baseball during the offseason as well as b-ball for STJ.
I predict that he will be playing in the majors within two years, so he likely wont be here for long

He won't be in the big leagues for a long time, if ever.  He's very raw, and only the most polished young arms are brought up at 20 or 21 years of age.

Article was from June 8th.  Still haven't heard anything about him actually signing with the Reds.

The best High School prospects in the country take 3 years at the least to make the majors. With all due respect to Amir he would be lucky to ever make the majors and if he does it will be 4 years from now or more. He didn't event pitch last year, he will have a lot to work on.

Probably the reason Amir is taking college basketball seriously and is intent on trying to make a run playing bball as well.  I'm sure Amir knows the same with regards to baseball.  No problem for him to take his time and play college basketball for a few years.  I wish him success at both.

College of Southern Nevada coach said Amir's workout most bananas thing he has ever seen on a baseball diamond. And with the 675th pick in the draft.... I can't figure what Amir did that day, but I don't think S.Nevada coach watches much baseball.

His draft position was based less on skill and more on signability.   If he didn't have a strong commitment to St. John's he probably would've gone in the first few rounds.

Two separate clips of Garrett....

Chosen League Mixtape presented by Dime Magazine ft. Rysheed Jordan, Amir Garrett, SICK DUNKS

Pelle at the end too.

It says pelle but im posiive its jakarr

It was definitely Jakkar and WOW did he look explosive.  If that kid learns to play with aggression and explosion on a regular basis LOOK OUT.

True.  I was surprised he was so far from basket but just figured it was new dimension.  Makes sense now.

If Jakkar can attack the basket like that in the half court, holy crap.  That would be a dribbl-drive offense to make Calipari drool.  We'd have four guys on the floor that could attack the rim off the bounces with some room.  That's a Lavin offense right there.
