My person is in his family circle....she said done deal. JL does come with some "unique" people around him who might want UC but it would still be shocking if he didnt end up here. FYI I never like to insinuate cash or other illegal benifits are reasons why kids chose schools, I dont think its fair without knowing for sure. That being said best story along those lines I ever heard was from a PROMINATE agent who said by the toime D Rose had finshed HS he had already recieved 630K from an agent....not Cal but an agent.

Not usually an "inside" guy, but I have family circle people on this also. They say the handlers and parents are on the same SJU page. The kid is a slight Cincy lean.  Believe what you will.

How come all the "insiders" are coming out today?

Heard this about a week and a half ago as some members of this board can attest. Didn't post because as I said "slight leans" change every day. Also heard Feb 3 is his birthday and announcement day. Who knows ?

Anyone know if he'll take a visit before then or is that still up in the air?

For anyone who saw the Montverde/Findlay Prep game yesterday - how does Jermaine compare to Findlay's 6'10 wing Christian Woods, who's already committed to UNLV?

All this "inside" stuff is such a crapshoot and I'm not disputing what others have posted on here. A month ago I heard Cincinnati was last of the 3 and the one to worry about was UNLV. LOL

Let's nail down a visit date and close this out. Lavin's forte, closing!

Thought part of the job description was coaching the present team AND recruiting for the future but who knows maybe it is impossible to do both so we will just stick with the guys we have and when their eligibility runs out we will just terminate the men's basketball program. OR NOT!

Exactly right! 
Linda/RF. how does continuing to recruit Jermaine "take away" from our current team in any way?   It doesn't.   You play tomorrow's game and plan for next year all at the same time.   I'm unaware of any jobs were you only have to worry about the present. 


I mentioned a few weeks ago I thought it was a little disconcerting that Jermaine hasn't played in so long.   But we don't know what his Drs are telling him.
We need to trust coach Lavin and coach Chiles on this one.  They know what to look for, and the questions to ask. 

As an aside though, Cincy still worries me a lot.  I know '79 said it was a done deal- but ...

Agree on Cincy. Questionable nature of his "handlers" keeps me concerned. Hopefully family opinion prevails.

How does the family not have power over the handler?

The family is not very basketball oriented, just comes from a very good home that never thought there son would gravitate to the game of basketball and Become top 25 player in the nation at it

My biggest fear is that he is not the same player after the injury and is riding his past talent to get himself in a position of power (In terms of recruiting).
If it's NO be upfront!
the Team must move forward as lavin said WE are beating ranked teams and that is more important than some kid with a hurt wrist who cannot see that he was made to be a star here! Not sayin that I don't want him just, we should handle the team we have.

Past talent?  Kid only got hurt like 6 months ago?  It was a wrist injury..  This is certainly a joke.

He hasn't played a game this season and won't (Due to no contact!).
RED FLAG
I am just not trying to live in his pre injury expectation and we end up dealing with a Rob Thomas (part 2)
Yeah I said it!
Besides with all this SJU last visit, Now it's postponed!
Cincy dropping by for practice today?
This is Reality!
 WE might not get him!
 
I am trying to move forward with or without him!
WE ARE.....

That post looks familiar.

I love how you say " we don't end up dealing with another Rob Thomas" like an injured kid is a inconvenience to your life .  I agree with Moose .. Your posting style looks rather familiar.   Either way you are entertaining the crap out of me

That post looks familiar.

Very familiar LOL

Forgive me Folks! A lot of Passion involved! I love this team!!!

72ish.

 '72, Linda, Realfan, Illa..... someone straighten this mess out for me.  So damn confusing.

Little thing called the Super Bowl Feb. 3 so if he wants any pub besides St. John's internet sites he may want to pick another day.

Good point.

Cincy on prowl for Jermaine's sophomore teammate.

“@J3C513: Same high school as Jermaine Lawrence "@AdamZagoria: Cincinnati offered 2015 Pope John F Moustapha Diagne today, per coach Jason Hasson"”

hope so;

“@EvanDanielsFOX: 2013 five-star forward Jermaine Lawrence is taking his visit to St. John's this coming weekend, a source says.”

“@NYPost_Brazille: Jermaine Lawrence will take an unofficial to St. John's this weekend, per source. Decision between #stjbb, UCLA and Cincy could come shortly”

Zach corrected, UNLV, not UCLA.

Big, big weekend for the Johnnies.
