You can pretty much go where you want to go. Just takes one phone call. Who's going to turn a player like Chris down?Agreed. Now it becomes a question of, if a kid can choose any school in the country... literally any program he wants, will he choose SJU ?How would you answer that question if you were him?Lots of factors to account for. Just like you are different than I. Personally when I went to college I wanted to stay local.Agreed. Local vs. Getting away from home, relationships with potential coaches/teammates, track record of coaches in improving skills and placing in the NBA, weather preference, importance of hot girls on campus, there are so many factors that each kid will react differently to.A good season this year with a few players showing you can be a star in NY certainly won't hurt.Yea, I agree with you guys, lots of factors to consider. Being local was important for me as well.I do think that the balance can change when the truly elite programs get involved though. It's one thing to choose to stay home and be a star rather than be in snowy Syracuse, or College Park Maryland. But I think there's a special tug on kids when Kentucky and UNC come calling. And it sounds like they have (or will soon) for both Lawrence and McCullough. Hope coach Lavin and the staff can build a relationship, because that and location are going to be the best things we have going for us. Re: a place like UNC.Harrison Barnes was #1 player in country and went to UNC and because the team was loaded he had to wait an extra year to leave. Just have to wonder if factors like that come into play. Do I go where I will be a cog in the wheel or THE MAN.Barnes would have been a lottery pick had he came outHigher than where he was picked this year? I don't think he would have been higher.
