Plus Manhattan and Iona have a recent history of getting local high major kids to transfer back to the area. Pankey, Momo Jones etc.It is actually pretty obvious what schools he would end up considering. Good points. However, Momo wanted to be here but couldn't because of Hicks' presence.Agreed but he could have gone to Seton Hall (he visited there before he chose Iona). Yet he still chose Iona.Again my overall point (not necessarily to Poison but to many who are questioning why SJU is recruiting against the likes of Manhattan, Iona and Hofstra) is after SJU it is real slim pickings in terms of high majors in the NY area worth transferring to especially when you have expectations to play on the next level like Lawrence does. So Iona and Manhattan become at least on the surface reasonable options after SJU considering where they are now and what they project to be in the immediate future and considering their recent success with high major transfers. But considering SJU’s relationship with Lawrence already and what they are poised to do in the next few years I think SJU becomes a logical choice.

@NYPost_Brazille: Cincinnati transfer Jermaine Lawrence at Iona at the moment for second visit. Nothing set as of yet with St. John's and Manhattan.

So a tiny MAAC school granted his requests?
@NYPost_Brazille: Cincinnati transfer Jermaine Lawrence down to Iona, Hofstra and Manhattan. St. John's is out, per source. #sjubbOh well
Wow. Looks like we didn't want to play ball. Not sure anything else makes sense at this point.
Zach Braziller @NYPost_Brazille 15mBoth sides agreed it wasn't the right fit, between Jermaine Lawrence and St. John's. #sjubb
I imagine a certain Mr. Albano will have some pointed tweets.
