Couldn't agree more. BE Rookie of the Year also didn't help. Still wishing Moe the best but I would have loved t have seen his best on display while wearing red and white next year. I don't know that Sampson can show the numbers that Moe did either, especially if we land Nolan and/or another legitimate big who will eat up some interior scoring opportuinities and if we have the outside weaponry to open up the zones for not just Sampson but the other athletes who are able to take it to the hoop - which is just about everyone on this squad.
If we lose Karr, hopefully we replace him with Lawrence, then repeat with McCullough. It's part of the reality with a coach like Lavin and recruiting top 20 kids. We are going to have our share of one and done type talent. Nothing new for schools like Cuse and Uconn. Let's get used to it. Hopefully there is plenty of support on the roster to carry the squad year after year. I think the last 2 classes has done just that. Fill in with a one and done puts you over the top.

Rutgers and Cincinnati got in early on his recruitment and Lawrence will visit Rutgers for their team camp June 22-24.
“I’ve been to one of their games before but I didn’t get to see the whole campus but hopefully I’ll go up there later on in the summer and check it out,” Lawrence said.
Cincinnati is also deeply involved thanks to assistant coach Darren Savino, a New Jersey native.
“Darren Savino really comes to a lot of games,” Lawrence said. “He talks a lot, too, over the phone.”
Still, the list of schools now involved includes Kansas, Maryland, Syracuse, Florida, UConn, Villanova, Louisville, St. John’s, UCLA and UNLV.
“I just really have to go visit most of the schools,” he said. “I haven’t really taken a lot of visits yet, so I just gotta go to these campuses.”

Very impressive. Can't wait to see him play in the rumble.
Per Rivals....
Jermaine Lawrence: Some will label Lawrence a small forward, some will label him a power forward. Neither side will be right, but neither will be wrong. Bottom line, the 6-foot-7 four-star is a player with athleticism, toughness and a knack for sprinting to the right place at the right time.

I wouldn't say we're out, but we're not in his top 3.
Per Jeff Borzello....
Jermaine Lawrence said his top three right now would be Rutgers, Florida and Syracuse (in no order).
