Ishmail Wainwright - SF - Raytown South - Raytown, MO - BAYLOR

To be honest i'd rather have Jordan, Martin or Lawrence. I wish him luck though, seems like a good guy.

Really thought we had him.  I certainly prefer Lawrence and Martin imply because of their height, but always thought that Wainright was more likely.  Good luck to him.  Next...

I'm sure he's a very good but it's hard to get too upset over losing a SF when we already have several of them.

Its the only reason why Im not taking it too hard. He's going to be really good though. Has that Kawhi Leonard feel to him. Extreme length for his size.

If we get Jordan, I'm good with this class. He's a really good prospect. 1 and done potential imo.

I would like to us add a 6'11 center. I don't care if he's not a McD's AA. Let him learn.

Always thought he was a STJ lean. Wasn't he supposed to finish off his visits with us this weekend? Baylor strikes again...

I'm just as surprised as anyone here.

Out of the 4, i thought we had the best shot with him.

Agreed I am floored by this a little.  Not that we cannot overcome it but just because as you said of the 4 if I was a betting man I would have said he was the one most likely to sign with SJU.

Interesting since SJU is a Catholic school but apparently religion and "Christian atmosphere" were big reasons why he chose Baylor:

The 2013 6-foot-6 small forward out of Montrose Christian (MD), by way of Kansas City, gave a verbal commitment to Baylor.

"The Christian atmosphere and school separated it from everywhere else," he told Rivals.com. "My father, Calvin, and mother, Mary, are both very religious and my mother is a minister. We felt very comfortable with it in that regard."

"The staff is great and it is close to home. My family sat down and spoke about it and was all for it."

Baylor built on strong spiritual base.

Oh I absolutely know about Baylor but I just found it ironic that maybe if he had visited SJU and found out about the Catholic tradition here he may have been swayed by that as well.

oh well, next. Trust Lavs has a plan a b and c for the ships for next yr.

Would have liked Wainwright, but as people have already stated, I prefer a PF/C in this class as opposed to a SF.

We didn't need Ish, but I thought we had him. Oh well, it's going to be tough to get Jordan and Martin. Got to put full court press on Lawrence. I assume 2 ships but we probably need to get involved with a few other kids.

We need to go on the Providence board and see who they are sure they are getting.  He's probably ours. 

More room for Lawrence/ Martin & Jordan

Wainwright is just as coveted as pointer was when he was coming out, we don't need him we have dom

I would have loved to have him. I had a good feeling about him, much better feeling than I have with the other often mentioned recruits.  I'm sure Lav will have another great recruiting year regardless.

Think you're right Ted.   No reason to panic, but getting Jordan, Martin and Jermaine will be tough.    Wouldn't be surprised if we open our net a little wider just to protect ourselves.

I don't think we'll land all 3 but IMO, we don't have to.  I'd love to just land Rysheed Jordan right now and all the rest falls into place.  Jordan is a big timer and we need a kid like that at guard.  Jordan is explosive and different from guards we currently have.  IMO, he's the biggest need.  Land Jordan and the rest is gravy.
