Isaiah Whitehead - SG - Lincoln HS - Brooklyn, NY - SETON HALL

"St. John’s is the hometown school.

“[Steve] Lavin texts me every day basically, to see how my day’s going,” he said. “He texted me about my prom that I had a couple weeks ago.”

“@AdamZagoria: Whitehead Drills Seven 3′s, Talks Schools http://zagsblog.com/articles/whitehead-drills-seven-3s-talks-schools/ @Isaiah_W15”

Lavin is showing a lot of love.  I like this quote from the Zags post:

“[Minnesota said] that instead of going into a big program, you still have the spotlight there in Minnesota, but it’s like kind of shying away from the spotlight [in New York],” he said. “He came at me with a great recruitment.”

Think you are misreading the quote Red. 
Says Minn said it and they are coming with a great recruitment which I interpret as he agrees with this position and that it is a positive. Bottom line of course is who knows how this will wind up.

I would love to land this kid

 Won't be because of a lack of effort if he goes elsewhere.   I think a lot depends on how the team looks/performs next season.

 An exciting, winning brand of basketball can be very persuasive when combined with hometown/msg angle.

I agree.. A strong showing this season will go a long way in the future direction of the St John's Basketball program. By Strong showing I mean making the sweet 16.

Red, I think you're going to be disappointed in the future direction of the program if the Sweet 16 is our goal for next year. I'm confident Lavin can pull Whitehead. Making the tourney is a must, but I think Lavin can do it otherwise.

Not that it's anything new but I continue to hear that Whitehead wants to leave the area to play college hoops.

Did a little gopher tell you that?

Ruined by NCAA rule no longer allowing these Tourneys on D-1 campuses'.

“@FinkelsteinNERR: Isaiah Whitehead is going absolutely nuts right now. Scoring at will & putting on a good show. #RUMBLE2013”

"Isaiah Whitehead, New Jersey Playaz, 2014 6-foot-4 guard - The hype over Whitehead has been around since his middle school days, but the one thing holding him back was his jumper. Now a junior, that has changed, and Whitehead is playing his game just how he likes it. As he runs the point, creates his own shots and continues to extend his range, he will need to improve on two facets of his game going into his senior year. The Lincoln (NY) guard must make better decisions when passing the ball on the fast break, and he needs to not settle on shots. As his squad was missing players this weekend, Whitehead exploded for a 32 and 36 point outburst. His shot was on, but during the semifinal game he ran out of gas and only scored 17 points on a lot of shots. The next step will be becoming a full time combo guard where he can create more opportunities for his teammates when his shot is off, or he is being double teamed. With that being said, his newfound jumper and range has put his game on a new level and given him the boost of confidence that is needed. Louisville, UCLA, St. John's, Minnesota and Syracuse appear to be the five schools recruiting him consistently, but he is yet to make any drastic decisions regarding his recruitment."
