St. John’s has already been recognized by ESPN for having a top-15 recruiting class after receiving verbal commitments from Maurice Harkless and JaKarr Sampson … but there are 8 scholarships left to fill. Neither commitment is from a point guard; St. John’s fans are very concerned with who will man the position.
St. John’s fans will have to wait a few more days to hear that they have found their man. Junior college point guard Nurideen Lindsey is set to announce his commitment to St. John’s on Friday, according to a source close to Lindsey.
Lindsey is currently enrolled at Redlands Community College in Oklahoma after originally being a recruit in the 2009 class (committed then to LaSalle). He will enter 2011 with 3 years of eligibility left. Coach Tony Chiles has been keeping tabs on the Philadelphia player, and has unearthed a long and athletic 6’3 scoring lead guard for the recruiting class.
