Jonathan Severe - SG - Christ the King HS - New York, N.Y. - FORDHAM

If I were Severe I would strongly consider Rutgers and team up with Mack. New regime and a perfect spot to chuck 20 shots a game from jump street. 

“@AdamZagoria: Jon Severe will announce April 24, per Joe Arbitello”

Feeling like it will be Fordham;
“@NYPost_Brazille: CK's Joe Arbitello on Severe: "Fordham has recruited him the hardest. Their head coach has made himself more visible than anyone else"”

Heard last week that Fordham likes its chances

Coming to finish line. Dixon is a hard working guy for sure.
“@NYPost_Brazille: Pittsburgh head coach Jamie Dixon at Christ the King today for Jon Severe I'm told.”

I think Severe is the most talked about player who we never really recruited.   Pretty funny actually.

It's interesting because he is being recruited by some strong programs. From the video I've seen, he does a lot of things that we don't do well. I have a hard time believing that he couldn't help us.

That said, we need Jordan more, and unless someone leaves, there is no room for him.

“@NYPost_Brazille: Rutgers may be back in play for Christ the King's Jon Severe. Eddie Jordan coming to Brooklyn for an In-home visit tonight #rhoops”

Tom Pecora must be anxious to close this out.

From story I just posted: Hearing from sources it's Rutgers or Fordham for Jon Severe. But he said all five schools still an option

How the heck did Rutgers go from being completely out of it to in the final 2 in the days leading up to his decision

Rutgers might not be a terrible option.   He'll get a starting job in the Big10, and be able to play close to home.

Fordham can offer him playing time, and Pitt offers a major conference.   But neither have both.   
Pitt also has the added benefit of the chance to win.  Rutgers (and probably Fordham) aren't going to contend for a couple of years.

I see that, but remember he was a late bloomer, too.

I wish Severe was from anywhere but NY.
Because nobody would give a rats ass about him here.

Whether we care or not will come down to how we perform as a team, and how he performs as a player.
It's one thing when a local guy leaves, but when we choose not recruit him, it's another.

I think we made the clear and completely obvious choice going hard after Jordan. That doesn't mean we couldn't have used Severe too.

Quincy was not a top 50 recruit in 2002 He ranked 25th at the SG spot.
