As with most local star players you have to be in the game and hang around a long time in the recruiting battle and watch the dominoes fall as they just did with Syracuse appearing to be out of the running. I am sure Coach Lavin made a great impression with the family and now the team has to do well on the court to continue to raise our profile. If we can take the step on the court this season everything else will fall into place. As it currently stands we can't guarantee any recruit immediate pt next season as every starter could be back, with the exception of Sanchez if he starts, but there is still considerable depth to fill that position, case in point Sir Dom. In other words lets all remember Lavin has an uphill recruiting battle this year. Next year will be much easier with Dlo, Green, Sir Dom guaranteed to leave and much more pt available.
I really only feared Syracuse and Louisville in the Whitehead sweepstakes. The longer this goes, the better it will be for us. UCLA and Arizona are formidable competition, but both can be beaten out. A lot of times they take themselves out of recruiting battles by picking up another top talent at the same position.
If SJU stays relatively healthy, there is no way IMO they won't be ranked by December. They'll make some noise on the huge stage of national tv, MSG, NYC media, and the Big East.

Agree with everything you said. I think we'll get a ton of hype by mid-season and that should definitely help with our remaining 2014 targets (the ones who haven't signed yet) and I think our national exposure this upcoming season can help lure some 2015 targets to commit early

I believe Whitehead is highest ranked NY'er entering senior year since Lance Stephenson.
On recruiting front for Whitehead, told Georgetown and Pittsburgh trying to get involved, but not sure if they will be in picture.
For the St. John's fans, I've been told program hasn't been recruiting Whitehead much.
