Could be Lavin's best win as a sju coach with his own players.  We might be looking back in a few months and say "that Cincy win on road, started something great for this season". 

Lavin got the most he could out of our bigs, and if Jermaine sees that too, he will want to be part of that.

JL has good self promotion skills lol. Billy C. Was not a power forward though. I didn't watch anything after that, but look at who he sent this to. I wonder who put this together for him?

No Maurice Lucas? When you open the dictionary to "power forward," it has his picture.

Story up on ESPN Insider today, with quotes from Jermaine.   
Here are the relevant parts:

“I’m going to take an official to St. John’s soon,” he said, “Then, after the visit, we’ll take a little time to sit down and see what each school has to offer and then we’ll go from there.
Lawrence said there is plenty to like about each of his options.

UNLV
“I liked their up-tempo style of play and the weather is real nice,” Lawrence said. “Plus, I’d have the opportunity to play with Savon Goodman again, who I played with in AAU.”

Cinn
“Coach Savino has been there throughout my recruitment,” Lawrence said. “He’s been consistent with me and my family, always communicating with me and my mom, and been to a lot of my high school and AAU games.”
"I like that they’re a tough team,” Lawrence said. “And Bearcat Nation showed a lot of support when I was out there.”

SJU
“It’s only a few minutes away from my neighborhood,” Lawrence said, “so my mom and I have been there a bunch.
“Coach (Steve) Lavin is a winning coach and he’s bringing the program to the next level,” Lawrence added. “I know Chris Obekpa and I could see us playing (well) together in the frontcourt.”

I feel real good about his recruitment at this point.
*wipes ketchup from his eyes* - I guess Heinz sight isn’t 20/20.

I'm just guessing but I think it's Cincinnati or us.  Winning the next couple of games would be a nice boast in our sails.

Anyone?

You’ll have to excuse St. John’s fans if they aren’t worried that Steve Lavin has at least two scholarships to give in the Class of 2013 but still no commitments to his name. Because after the 11th-hour class he pulled off a year ago, this latest challenge seems like nothing.

Thus far in 2013, St. John’s has come out empty-handed in its pursuit of ESPN 100 prospects like Jarrell Martin, Ishmail Wainright, Damian Jones and Kentan Facey, but the Red Storm have made the final cut and top three for both Jermaine Lawrence and Rysheed Jordan.

Last year, Lavin was able to go two-for-two with his top targets in Sampson and Obekpa. If he does so again this year, St. John’s will suddenly have one of the most talented young rosters on the East Coast.

The question this year, as it was a year ago, is where St. John’s will go if it's not able to get its top target. That was an answer we never had to find out a year ago. If Lavin can repeat that success a second time around, he’ll have solidified his status as one of the best second-half recruiters in the game and set St. John's up for several years of prosperity as a result.
