Jermaine Lawrence - PF - Cincinnati Transfer - Bayside, NY

I'm no workout expert (calling Marillac) but in that last video at the 1 minute mark the wrist exercises with the mini kettlebell's don't look too good for your wrist.

Like Marcus said those are little kettle bells.  If that is recent Jermaine needs to keep hitting the weights and eating a lot!

He sure would be an upgrade at that 3 spot. From highlights he looks somewhere between Moe and Jakarr.

I agree that he looks like a Harkless-Sampson hybrid but with better range and 1-2 inches in height

hes probably got a half inch on karr and might be the same height or a hair shorter than moe. hes incredibly thin though, must improve perimeter skills. not sure how much help on the backboard he can possibly be being that light.

He's thin because he's messing with those ladies kettlebells and fancy workouts instead of mass building.   

Apparently nobody really noticed but Jermaine has presumably dropped Syracuse from his list and is down to 3 at least according to the quote in the article.

His last list was released in a tweet in November and it listed his final 4 of UNLV, Cincy, SJU and Syracuse.  Now he is talking about choosing among 3 schools.  Again I presume the 3 are the 3 schools he has taken or will take official visits to: UNLV, Cincy and SJU.  Thus eliminating Syracuse.

“With the three schools I have the decision is going to be tough. I'm just looking forward to the upcoming St John's visit.”

Think people didn't notice...lol.  Cuse just picked their share of forwards already and landed kids they didn't need to wait for.  It's good for us.  Jermaine's comments are extremely complimentary.   I wanna to see Lavin nail it and land this kid.

We do well when kids visit and with him being away from home for a year, perhaps he is the one who wants to come back to the city.

Where has he been?

Where has he been?

Obscure school in New Jersey

Seems like few on this board would be satisfied with just one of Jermaine and Rysheed.  Thoughts on the probability that we land both?  I am going to completely speculate and say 38% (75% for JL and 50% for Sheed). 

I wonder if JL and Sheed are waiting around to see if Jakarr and/or DLo are very likely to leave early. 

Would you rather (1) get JL and Sheed but lose Jakarr to the NBA and DLo to wherever or (2) get neither recruit and bring back Jakarr and DLo? 

“@NYPost_Brazille: Source confirms report Jermaine Lawrence is down to St. John's, UCLA and Cincinnati. Will take official to #stjbb sometime in January.”

think he meant UNLV

“@NYPost_Brazille: My mistake, it's St. John's, UNLV and Cincinnati.”

“@NYPost_Brazille: My mistake, it's St. John's, UNLV and Cincinnati.”

Yep.  UCLA is targeting two Findlay Prep forwards - 6'9 Gavin Schilling and 6'7 Dion Wade.

Sign him up as long as he's not a ball stopper, running the shot clock down to less than 10 seconds after this season is dreadful

I don't know anything more than I read, but I've got to think we at least land one of Jordan or Lawrence.

Granted it looks like we'll only have one or two scholarships open after the season.   But if the staff was concerned we weren't in good position with these two wouldn't they at least be looking at other recruits for '13?
It's early, I know, but since Martin and Wainwright signed; the staff hasn't been on any '13 players other than Jordan and Lawrence.

That has to be a good sign, right?

Not to be gloomy about our chances.. But I don't think it's a good sign that we haven't targeted other 13 kids.  If we strike out then what?  You can't use the limited scholarship excuse for not targeting others because nobody has a clue what the roster will look like next season.  Most schools target multiple players per class and we just don't.  We have heard before in the past that Coach targets only kids he feels good about.. So what happens if they don't commit?  Kinda too late for the 2013 backup plan.  That being said I still think we will get one.

Lavinia doesn't target multiple kids per class?

No.  Not in relation to other schools.  I mean I'm not saying it should be like Rutgers or Providence which offers 12 kids a class.. But 4 kids for 13  and 3 kids for now in 14 is a little skimpy IMO

Happy, is wager we have our eye on more kids than that.  I know we see the most prominent ones, but Lavin In the past has done a good job filling ships in the spring, and one or two ships is child's play for him.  I think we'll land Lawrence.  If we land he and Rysheed it is tremendous.  If we need to fill another ship or two, there will be new players coming to the forefront in the spring.

Hey if the strategy works out and we get one or both then I suppose it's working.  We Aren't looking at other kids right now and the point was to look at more kids early for 13 and not have other kids pop up in the spring.  It's pretty hard to get in late with these kids and you know very well that most of these kids reward programs who are in early and loyal.
