Jermaine Lawrence - PF - Cincinnati Transfer - Bayside, NY

I have about 20 friend who went to Manhattan and are sports fans, and have never heard of  a Manhattan board before lol

Manhattan board saying he signed today

Makes sense. Manhattan is the best team left on his list.

Manhattan lost their 3 best players to graduation. IDK what they have coming in, but I don't see how they can sniff what they did last year. We'll see.

As expected,
@NYPost_Brazille: Jermaine Lawrence is transferring to Manhattan per source. Picked Jaspers over Iona and Hofstra. Huge get.

@NYPost_Brazille: Jermaine Lawrence to Manhattan is a major get for assistant Rasheen Davis. With Steve Masiello on leave he not only took point but closed.

If they can get the waiver for him it would be huge...

Lawrence goes from one Pitino protege to another....

This was always Manhattan/SJU.  If things could not be worked out with SJU then Lawrence was going to Manhattan.  Period.

Maybe he can take classes with Masiello???  LOL!!!

What???  SJU was knocked out first, if it was ever even on his/her list.  Hofstra was getting a better look than us.

May not sniff it, but will be in top 1/4 of league.  Still have enough talent with 3 solid starters.  Then make the splash 2 years from now.

Whether or not it will work in the long run remains to be seen, but the one thing Lavin has made clear, is that this is his program. He didn't like Harrison's attitude, that was it. Obekpa, Jordan etc. Same thing. Lavin is in charge. We saw what happened when Felipe Lopez, NYC high school basketball sensation took over the program, and our program became a side show.

If Lawrence wants special treatment, then I'm fine with him going to Manhattan. He'll fit right in with Massiello, who knows all about special treatment.

+1.  Not worth the headache.  Especially with Carter coming.
