I agree with #2, but Cincy doesn't exactly have a pipeline to the NBA ....  Why did he need to get out of NYC so bad?

All the hype, distractions of friends and family.  Getting away from his rough neighborhood.  The bad press from his criminal case; etc.

I'm not sure there were many choices besides SJU and Cinci because of Lance's baggage.

Two factors:  1. Lance needed to get out of NYC.  2. They didn't have any faith in Norm's coaching staff to develop him.

Hmmmm ... you may be on to something.

It's time to let go of Norm, and Maven's info is wrong.
Not that I ever have any inside info myself anymore but from reading all the St. John's boards for years, the so called Maven has been wrongo many, many times.

Just to clarify, you guys are talking about Stan Fischler a.k.a the Maven? What's his twitter handle, because his public one seems to be hockey related only?

Not sure if you were joking or not, but not Stan Fischler

I’m blessed to celebrate a milestone birthday!
My family and I would like to thank all the schools that showed interest. I’m humble to have had the experience of being recruited.
After a long discussion with my parents, I’ve decided I’ll be attending the University of Cincinnati!!!!! 
I’m excited to be apart of #BearcatNation
I appreciate and thank those in New York who have supported me. It was a tough decision, however I do believe UC is a better fit for me.
 
God Bless,
Jermaine Lawrence  @MaineStory

@AdamZagoria The best part about Jermaine Lawrence's commitment is that no media or coaches will have to deal w/ his rude & incompetent handler anymore.

Big loss for us. Still think Rysheed wouldve been the best get for us out of those mentioned, but this guy was a very nice player in the city.

Seems like he didn't have the best handler though:

If you're going to be somebody's "mentor," at least know how to deal with the media & college coaches. Everyone in NYC knows she didn't.

Lavins gotta start hitting the recruiting trail hard. Jorden is iffy and we have some pieces we have to fill.

Maybe he thought with D'lo, Jakarr and Dom he wouldn't get enough touches, who knows what these kids think. Anyway good luck in cincy, heck even Jakarr wanted out of ohio lol
