Jermaine Lawrence - PF - Cincinnati Transfer - Bayside, NY

“@NYPost_Brazille: Another point on McCullough: Could help St. John's with Jermaine Lawrence play the same position, Just my opinion, no facts behind it.”

Either way he mentions it is just a gut

Maven doesn't just post from his "gut".  Not saying he knows for sure, but he's likely heard something for him to post it.  He likes to be right.

+1

It would be really great to see Jermaine sign with St. John's in the early signing period.  SJU fans are in dire need of good news on the recruiting front.

People are overreacting.  This year is not like the last 2 years were we had to fill a lot of spots. We only have a couple of scholis to fill and we have a lot of great talent on this team.It is early nov and people are panicking. Lavin didnt sign most of last years recruits untill spring, we had to be concerned last year.

Very true, but Jermaine Lawrence is a top 20 recruit and makes a big statement, especially after losing McCullough.  Both different players, but same height and both going to be pros.

In both of their respective classes Jermaine and McCullough were ranked in about the same range. Just curious, who do you guys think is the better overall prospect? And also who do you think would have/could fit in better with our current roster and system?

I'm also hoping he likes to be right immediately before something happens so it's fresh in his worshipers' memories.

Cincy just got a verbal from a 2013 big man, not sure what their scholly situation looks like:

Does anyone think that Lawrence knew before hand that these other signings would happen (at cuse and Cincy)  which is why people think he is leaning SJU, or is it the case that the other schools knew Lawrence would go to SJU so they had to go another route?

Didn't know of them prior.  Its just the way dominoes have fallen to date.

Whos the main comp with him at this point?  Cincy? UNLV? Kansas?  Cant be Cuse and Kentucky given their commitments, right?

Thats a good question.

Hearing as of right now its pretty much St. John's, Cinc, Cuse, and UNLV.

He has a great relationship with Cinc staff.

It's recruiting things always changing but that's last I heard recently.

He's from my neck of the woods -- I was actually wondering what had happened to him just the other day. I was actually hoping Lavin would poke around last season, because if he's healthy he's pretty good and his size is legit.

“@mainestory: My final list is UNLV, St Johns, Syracuse and Cincinnati.
Looking forward to this upcoming season. Still making my decision in the spring.”

My in-laws just arrived, so I thought I would get a "doomed" out of someone.

“@EvanDanielsFOX: Manhattan had five-star forward Jermaine Lawrence at their game against Hofstra yesterday.”

Haha even I won't touch that.
