Jermaine Lawrence - PF - Cincinnati Transfer - Bayside, NY

@NYPost_Brazille
Jermaine Lawrence visit to St. John's postponed until mid February per source. #stjbb

Just as long as it happens.

Hope so!

“@AdamZagoria: I wouldn't be surprised to see Steve Lavin at @mainestory 's game tomorrow.”

It would be fantastic.

Should we be concerned?

Braziller says it's just a timing thing...but I'll remain nervous until he ACTUALLY visits. We were Wainright's last visit and we all thought we were in great position for him, but he committed before Lavin got his "scheduled" shot. Anything can happen.

But hasn't he visited the campus numerous times? I'm not worried about when he comes to campus. He needs to focus on the books and now the court.

Yea, Jermaine has been around St Johns a ton.   Games, scrimmages, unofficial visits on campus... all that. 
If he picks Cincinnati it won't be because we didn't get a last visit.

Beginning to sound like Sanchez saga.  In case smiley face isn't enough for some-just kidding!

“@AdamZagoria: Per @sevec3 @mainestory has 11, including 2 highlight dunks, as @popejohnbball leads 25-12 at half. #stjbb Tony Chiles is there”

"@Coast2CoastHoop: St John's had Steve Lavin and Tony Chiles watching Jermaine Lawrence, Moustapha Diagne and Bryce Aiken of Pope John (NJ)."

Moustapha And Bryce are gonna be very very good

Any confirmation that Lavin and Chiles were both there? It's important for Lavin to show up on the recruiting trail. 

Going head to head with Cincy again and again!

We have been targeting top NYC talent sparingly under Lavin, but these are the battles we must win much like Harkless before him.

That is spot on. We have to get our fair share of NYC kids, but sweating them and then losing them to a hole of a city like Cincinnati would look really bad for us.

To be honest there hasn't been all that much NYC talent to recruit

I would like to see the staff have more of a New Jersey presence though.

How many head to hear battles has lavin lost to cincy? This isn't the norm regime anymore. Lavin wins more than his share of battles. I like our chances here but i know nothing

That's why this matters, if it matters at all off the court. We need to continue to show everyone that we've made progress.

We have 6 top 100 players playing major minutes.  Norm never got one.  I say we've made plenty of progress.
