Maven and Naclerio = best buds.  There is a reason he is doing this and yes he is still scheduled to visit .

Btw, who announces on Super Bowl Sunday?   Even if it is your birthday, that's still a little strange.   


And Lavin doesn't seem to be worrying, so I'll trust his judgement.  Remember, he came right out and said a few weeks ago that we may not sign anyone.   Either he thinks we'll land Jermaine/Rhyseed, or he's not worried about filling that last scholarship.

This whole recruiting saga is strange. Prevailing theory seems to be family desire (SJU) v. handler's (Who knows?)
I would not be surprised either way, just my opinion.

Who is Naclerio?

Jermaine's old coach at Cardozo .. Who has done us no favors IMO

Yes.  He's always thought he deserves a place on the staff and when Norm didn't hire him what was a tenuous relationship with the school got even worse or at least that's what those posters connected to the NY basketball scene have implied.

We learned right away just how dumb Norm was when he ignored the chance to add a prominent NYC high school coach to the staff. He should have been blackballed from coaching for that alone.

I think he is that old hockey analyst on MSG.  The guy with the beard.

Maven's tweet implies the handlers got their way, and that's why he's choosing cincy.

Who to believe?


People in the know have now claimed that he's def signing with us, and def signing with Cincy. 
It would be hilarious if Jermaine ends up picking UNLV or Syracuse.
But I don't see that happening.

Handlers gotta learn, STJ= a direct path to the NBA.   Was true for Moe, will be true for Jakarr after next season probably.

I have asked before with no answer...what do handlers get out of these relationships? And who are they normally?

Hopefully good seats in an NBA arena.  Maybe even next to Spike Lee.

Why should he be worried?  He's got Sir Dom for two more years.  Jordan or Lawrence are nuts not to sign up to play on the same team with Sir Dom.

I know Maven usually has good information, and his connection to Mini-me Fran Savino, among others, means that he probably had legit knowledge to go public with this tweet.  But we heard what SJU79 said on this board.  Let's all remember the back and forth stuff we heard about Jakar last year before he popped for us.  Let's just wait and see how it plays out. 

If Lawrence doesn't come, I'd love to see the staff grab a JUCO big man.  We should be fine at the guard and forward spots, because I think everyone is coming back.

I haven't heard anything and this is something I'd normally hear about. I wouldn't be shocked if it were true but after doing some digging today, everyone that I reached out to didn't hear anything about this and was surprised when I brought it up so I wouldn't get too worked up.

Recruiting is funny because sometimes things change quicker than the weather in Florida.

I'd expect Lawrence to announce near Spring signing period not now.

 Naclerio is a snake-oil salesman who I wouldn't want within a 1,000 yards of this program. We can knock Norm for a lot of his choices, but not bringing Naclerio was not one of them.
