Jermaine Lawrence - PF - Cincinnati Transfer - Bayside, NY

“@NYPost_Brazille: Jermaine Lawrence is on pace to be highest ranked city player since Lance Stephenson. Of course he goes to school in Jersey now LOL.”

Hoping he won't continue that and go to Rutgers!

Unfortunately rutgers is a very strong lean so far

That's why I said it! Lol

I cannot see Coach losing out to RU with Jermaine.  It is the "big" boys (KU, UK, etc.)  I would be more concerned about.

In this case, as it now stands, Rutgers is in great shape. Granted that could change. I personally feel we have a better shot with McCullough in 2014 than Lawrence. We'll see.

Same

Does the advisor that suddenly popped up have a connection to Rutgers?

He is blowing up big time.  He said before he won't sign until next Spring which means I could see as Dave pointed out Calipari getting involved.

Scout just came out with revised top 100 and he checks in at #15.  Others include Jarrell Martin at no. 11, Rysheed Jordan at #47, Mike Young at #85.

I think we'll still make a strong play for him, hopefully after a good season.  I'd be just as happy with Jarrell Martin who I get the sense we may be in even better shape with than Lawrence.

IMHO Nigel Williams-Goss is way underrated at 97.  He's a big PG who is as smart as they come and really can do it all.  Loved a game since I saw him while scouting Amir's games.

Agreed.

FWIW, with Martin also listing UCLA, a west coast guru indicated there may be academic issues with Jarrell that make UCLA an unlikely destination.

Or could be the fact that UCLA already has about 9 big forwards like Martin...

Could be, but they're actually desparate for a couple post players in the 2013 class.    That's why they're "on" Martin, Anya, Marcus Lee, Karviar Sheppard, and Devin Williams.   Supposed to be doing very well with Lee and Williams...

“@ryanmgreene: Also watched #UNLV target Isaac Hamilton. Impressive kid. Fellow target Jermaine Lawrence was on crutches. Rolled his ankle yesterday.”

Having a tough summer at the showcases.    Didn't he sprain his wrist 2 weeks and have to sit out a weekend?
