Jermaine Lawrence - PF - Cincinnati Transfer - Bayside, NY

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

I never said I'd hire him to tutor my daughters. 

How was he eligible in high school if he is so old?

A year ago we were screaming to get this kid...but he seems to have disappeared.   For a projected 'one and done' kid, he's only getting about 16 minutes a game.  What happened?

Injured, still adapting to much more physical game & rumored to be a bit homesick. It is clear he is a small forward who will take time to develop.

And he is playing on a good team, competing with veterans for minutes.  I wonder how is "handler" who apparently caused us and others to back off is dealing with that lol. 

If it was between him and Sheed, I think we ended up better off.  Premature to say who ends up being the better player, but I think we needed Sheed at the point much more.

You really have to consider who is making the projections. Most of these kids need time to develop.

Hmmmm

Bring him home. He can work on his game while sitting out.

It would work.  He could sit next year, then slip into Jakarr's slot the year after that.

Then Lavin could tell us all he's the best player in practice and we can get all excited, and then super pissed when he only averages 9 a game as an rs soph.

LOL, he got stuck in that shit hole city of Cincinatti, and is now homesick. Well, those are the breaks. If he can somehow find his way back to the 7-1-8, and suit up for us, my stance changes on the strength of pure homerism.

Until then, not a single you know what is given.

The operative word is "rumor".

Westchester Community?

If he went to the MAAC he'd average like 40 a game as a junior/senior.

Like Ashton Pankey is?

Ha good point.  Don't think Pankey was a top 25-30 recruit though.  In Cluess' system I think Lawrence would put up crazy numbers when it was all said and done.

Plus no need to play defense.

If he wants to shoot and run, that's the place for him. Cluess has made that his staple. Come home and light it up

You don't think SJU refined offensive approach is more appealing?
