Rysheed Jordan - PG - Vaux Roberts - Philadelphia, PA - ST. JOHN'S

Re above article I posted and contact with Dunphy, isn't this a dead period? Conjecture probably wrong.

"Put on For My City", but it's a promotional flyer for a party for him Saturday night.

My question is what HS kid has a party at a bar on a Saturday night from 10pm-2am?

i see.  i don't think that means anything. the kid has been pretty consistent in being a very proud kid from Philly.  if anything, i think it means he reps Philly no matter where he goes.

That's what I think too.  If anything it's a tribute to him representing the city while he was in HS.    I'm not worried.   There's too much smoke for there not to be a fire.

What time is he announcing?

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.

He stayed in Wisconsin for college though.  Probably not the best example.

Is Marquette in Wisc.? Didn't know that...but technically he still reps Wisconsin hard in NYC with his discount double check a la Rodgers!

What are the chances Lavin has a post-dated signed LOI from him in hand?

Is Marquette in Wisc.?

I really need to ask where you thought it was.

Sounds like a town on the eastern part of Suffolk county

And joe obviously hasn't seen Wayne's world

Breen is the reporter who I mentioned who brought up the timeline theory and how it seemed more then just a coincidence that it dovetailed with Lavin and SJU.

I have all the confidence in the world Lavin knows what to tell him. But I also would feel better when I hear him announce SJU tomorrow.

The thing that makes me worry is the fact that he's throwing a party in Philly...would this really make sense if he weren't going to Temple? Like others have said...many people would not want to go unless he was going to Temple. On the other hand though, and I always think this with hometown kids being recruited by their local school...why wait so long if he was going to pick Temple? If you love Philly so much and want to stay home wouldn't you cut the BS and just announce it right away? We shall see...crossing my fingers...if we land him I have to give Lavin lots of credit because we were the least likely team for a while to land him.

Could his party be LeBronesque?

Rysheed was just waiting for the scholly to open up.

When lavin goes to a game to see a kid, does he talk to the kid? I have no idea about the rules and if you can make contact.

He's throwing a party in Philly because that's where he lives and that's where his friends and family are.  You have to remember this kid is in high school, he doesn't have any income.  He's gonna wake up at 6:30 Monday morning and have to go to English class.
