Team will get back from DePaul late Saturday afternoon or evening and Lawrence's visit if unofficial so he'll likely be visiting Saturday night into/or Sunday.

I think he will choose us for quite a few reasons.  He would do very well here in this system.

Can you please share with us what is the system we are supposedly playing right now..?

Agree on the team getting back.  Thinking 7pm.  But also thought the visit was official.
Monday is MLK day so no classes so he can stretch into Monday.

Game ends at about 2.  No way they get to the airport before 3 what with post game pressers and the like.  It's a 2 hour flight so figure they're back on campus by 5 the earliest 6 more likely.

MCNPA - we are not playing anything remotely looking like face paced attack right now. Unless of course you call dribbling around in circles and taking a lot of forced shots a good offensive system.

What you described is what Coach Lavin might like to play but certianly he is not right now.

Smart money on Johnnies;

“@ReggieRankin:

Springfield Gardens (N.Y.) Pope John XXIII | PF | 6-9/190 | ESPN 60 Rank: No. 19

Last week's BlueChipBattles rank: Unranked

Who wants him? St. John's, Cincinnati and UNLV.

Front-runner: The smart money should be on St. John's as Steve Lavin has been hard to beat for recruits in his backyard recently.

Dark Horse: Cincinnati isn't the hometown choice nor does it have the glitz and glamor of Las Vegas, but it's done a better job recruiting him than anyone in the country.

@FinkelsteinNERR with the buzz: Lawrence confirmed his final three schools while also weighing some of the biggest selling points of each option to ESPN recently. Meanwhile, he is hoping to make his season debut on the court after suffering an injury over the summer.

Best fit: He's a high-level athlete who could find a role in any system but what sets him apart, when healthy, is the improved skill set to score the ball from all three ranges. In order to be best utilized at the next level, he'll work mismatches by posting up, playing off the high post and shooting 3s.

Lawrence on his recruitment: "I'm going to take an official to St. John's soon. Then, after the visit, we'll take a little time to sit down and see what each school has to offer. We'll go from there."

RecruitingNation ranks Lawrence's recruitment as the No. 10 battle in the country. Tweet us your opinion using the hashtag #BlueChipBattles @RecruitingESPN.

Bingo.  Game is at Noon EST on Saturday 11 AM Chicago time.  Games gets over around 1 PM local, 2 PM NY time.  Catch a flight out late afternoon and meet him Saturday night.

Another good point.  Holiday weekend, 48 hour official can stretch into Monday if necessary.

They also gain an hour changing time zones.
That's why when i'm just about to die I want to fly out to the west coast so I gain 3 hrs on my life. Since it is about a 5 1/2 hour flight I figure i'll croak somewhere over Iowa. ???

Bout 6 posts up.

Lawrence on his recruitment: "I'm going to take an official to St. John's soon. Then, after the visit, we'll take a little time to sit down and see what each school has to offer. We'll go from there."

I think your confusing it.  He said he has visited before unofficially a number of times and was looking forward to 'official'.  Thats what I recall.
