I hope Lavin spun the fact that he is from Philly being pursued by Temple telling him that he can choose to play for Temple, but he can still represent Philly while here at SJ. His friends and family can easily make the 90 mile trip, and he will get much more press and exposure at SJ in the Big East in a much larger city and stage. I would tell him not going to Temple doesn't mean he can't represent Philly and maybe give examples like Steve Novak being a very prideful Wisconsin guy yet on the Knicks. I don't know, I'm rambling...I hope Lavin's way with words sways him! Everyone reporting SJ is getting him, but remember Obekpa? I won't be comfortable until he chooses us officially and is cleared to play.
