Jermaine Lawrence - PF - Cincinnati Transfer - Bayside, NY

FWIW, Maven tweeting not to be surprised if Lawrence preps another year.

I could have sworn the NCAA was getting much stricter with kids being allowed to do post grad years to become eligible.

I don't think this past year was prep year for him though?
And I think 2014 was the first class it would apply to.

I forget, what are the buzzards doing to the kids in 2014?

Yeah the new rules weren't just for multiple prep years.

Does this have to do with grades or is he just seeing how things play out(if he does do an extra year)? Cincinnati is in a state of limbo so if he does take a prep year he might just be waiting to see where the program ends up. Because its probably not going to be where they are now.

First of all, this is only Internet chatter.

Definitely only web chatter. I am as out of the loop as anybody. Was just curious is all. Putting myself in his shoes I might want to give myself some extra time to see how things pan out.

Maven was the one with inside info about him committing to Cinci in the first place.  Maybe he does know something.

He often does.

If that is indeed the case, his recruitment was a big waste of time and we got Orlando next year anyway.  If maven is suggesting it, good chance it has legs.

“@NYPost_Brazille: Hearing Queens product Jermaine Lawrence has looked good in workouts with Cincinnati and will see time as a role player.”

If I was a Cinci fan, I'd actually be disappointed reading that.

 I thought the same thing..  Role player?  I thought this kid was legit?

 Yeah, hope he's more than a role player for them.  Sad because he could really have stepped into our roster after this season seamlessly.

There's only one New Yorker I care about on that roster, and it's not JL.

Always liked him. Had the feeling he was going to be really good in college after his really good senior year in high school. Wish we landed him.

He is a Senior and will be 24 years old in January, bit of a joke that he is even still in college..

He's a freshman, nothing wrong with working your way into a starting spot. Doesn't make him any less legit, imo. If he's still a role player as an upper classmen, then that's a different story.
