Nurideen Lindsey - PG - Redlands CC - Philadelphia, PA - ST. JOHN'S

Does anyone think it might not be in our best interest to be in the know regarding a soft verbal?

If Oklahoma for example, finds out that the kid is about to choose us, then they can attack us however they choose and possibly get him to re-open things.

I was actually thinking about that today when I read the quotes about him waiting till the spring now.

I'd much rather have him locked into us now. To me the longer a kid waits if he was favoring us in the beginning but didnt commit the more bad things that can happen to the recruitment process along the way

Tierney says on Twitter that we'll wake up to articles about Lindsey Saturday morning.

BT agrees...

It says, and Red Storm fans can also expect to wake up to multiple articles Saturday morning confirming Nurideen Lindsey to Queens...done deal

Is there any news on Lindsey or are we going to have to wait a little while now instead of him committing soon?

No news today. Tierney says on Twitter (and in Twitter-form below the text):

Nurideen Lindsey to Queens, "done deal" Yet, given lengthy absence, he'll play in tournament next weekend, then announce St. John's; lengthy feature documenting his journey in Sunday's New York Times, FYI

I read our article a few days ago but friday already passed. BT said Lindsey will commit this week and I'm wondering if anyone has heard anything like that because ever since he didn't commit yesterday I haven't heard any update.

See earlier post by me - Tierney is saying he'll commit in a week.

And as others have said, maybe he's holding off a little to make sure it's the right move.  Recruiting can be mercurial, and when guys say they're going to do something and they haven't done it, that decision + the timing can change.  He's interested in St. John's.

Let's hope he chooses St. John's.

However, basketball has not given up on him, yet. As he is expected to graduate from Junior College in the summer of 2011, Lindsey has become a hot topic in the world of recruiting. “St. John’s, Oklahoma, Miami (FL), Georgia Tech, Oklahoma State, LSU and UCLA” are all recruiting him and have extended scholarships his way.

As most believed he had committed, the guard has a different story. “I never commited to La Salle,” said Lindsey. “That was a misunderstanding. It was something my AAU coach promoted. I never had intentions of going to La Salle.” After everyone thought he was bound for La Salle, Lindsey disappeared from the game. “I wound up out here in Oklahoma after I thought I would never play basketball again due to the impact of losing my best friend and little brother within two months.”

As he is back to playing basketball, Nurideen is a big part of the New York tabloids recently. Most reporters say they have sources who tell them Nurideen Lindsey will become the third member of the 2011 St. John’s class. “I don’t plan on committing anywhere anytime soon, but I have planned on making a trip out there to St. John’s for a visit,” Lindsey said. While he has planned out some visits yet, he does not have any specific dates or information on them.
