Coach Lavin feels much more confortable with West Coast/South players than NY/NJ players.

Harkless would beg to differ.

Compare (2010, 2011 and 2012 classes):

I only see three NY/NJ players with real interest from our coaches: Harkless, Kyle Anderson and Christopher Obepka. Perhaps we can add Tyler Harris.

Players from West Coast / South: Dwayne Polee, Remi Barry, Amir Garrett, Norvel Pelle, Jabari Brown, LeBryan Nash, D´Angelo Harrison, Jahii Carson, Nick Johnson, Winston Shepard, and Katin Reinhardt. Perhaps we can add Cezar Guerrero and Josiah Turner.

Please remove Tyler Harris from this convo.

Lavin will go after the best NYC area players each year.  Not just for the sake of it.  2011 was Harkless, 2012 was Kyle and Calhoun to a lesser extent, 2013 is Lawrence, 2014 is McCullough and Whitehead.

Moose - Tyler - verbal to Wolfpack, right?

St. John's, St. Peter's, Central Connecticut St & Fairleigh Dickinson watching Lincoln (NY)-St. Anthony (NJ). STJ seeing Isaiah Whitehead.

In the last espisode of  "City Hardwood," a weekly tv show following the 2011-2012 Lincoln High School basketball team, Isaiah Whitehead's mother mentioned that she would like to see her son attend St. John's due to its proximity to home. Obviously there is a long way to go with his recruitment, however it can't be a bad thing that his mom is in our corner.

Great to hear, Gotta get our fair share of top NYC players

I'd like to see Isaiah continue to ascend.  It seems like he's matured and peaked quickly and I hope it isn't what the future holds.

“@NYPost_Brazille: With Steve Lavin on hand, @IWhitehead15  had 19 points, six rebounds, four blocks and four steals as Lincoln topped Curtis 60-57. #boyshoops”

Even if 2012 is not a super recruiting class, solid is fine in anticipation of great 13 and 14 haul IMO. Easy to see the work SL is putting in for the future, a far cry from previous regimes.

You're thinking of a different Tyler Lewis who is currently a senior at Oak Hill Academy, he signed his LOI. He's nasty!

Yes, very nasty! They snuck him on the McD AA team.  I want to see him have 15 assists for the game!  He might approach K. Marshall numbers in the ACC - that's if Pack players can actually finish - lol

"Snuck" relative to the RSCI rankings - Lewis isn't in that top 50 (#59), and is the 7th PG on the list....

Juice All-Stars Isiaih Whitehead best player saw on day 1 of #HGJamfest WV Wildcats Select best team performance

“@jeffborzello: Iowa State just offered top-25 2014 guard Isaiah Whitehead.”

Isaiah Whitehead, of the top guards in the Class of 2014, said that Syracuse is currently at the top of his list of schools.
 
Whitehead said that Arizona, Kentucky, Pittsburgh, St. John’s and UCLA are also very involved while Arizona, Pitt, St. John’s and UCLA have all offered.
 
The 6-foot-4, 190-pound guard cited Syracuse’s fan base, system and atmosphere when explaining why the school is currently his favorite. He added that he’s looking for a program with a good coach who is also a good teacher.
 
“I want a program that will be good down the road, not just good right now, because I won’t be in college next year,” he said.
 
As for style of play, Whitehead said he wants to play on a team that is uptempo, but that is also balanced because he likes to run through plays and screens.
 
While his list of schools stretches across the country geographically, he said that location will not be a deciding factor.
 
Whitehead added that he wants to make a decision by the end of his junior year.

If that isn't a subtle mention of us I don't know what else is.

He has got offers from Iowa State , Georgetown , and UConn from this weekend. (Facebook)

“@NYPost_Brazille: Hearing Isaiah Whithead could play some 16s with Chris McCullough on Team Scan this summer. I wouldn't bet against that team in any tourney.”
