Jermaine Lawrence, PF (Cincinnati)

[redstorm80]

 Jermaine Lawrence has tweeted his Final Top 7 (in no particular order):

Cinncinati
Kansas
Kentucky
St. John's
Syracuse
UCLA
UNLV

 

With that list of heavyweights, it will definitely be an uphill battle for SJU to land him.

 

Other than Kentucky (because they are who they are) I feel confident -- not cocky -- we have just as good a shot as all the others on that list. Make no mistake, SJU will appear of many lists for top tier recruits, and now that the staff can concentrate on a couple of kids a year, these other schools will have an uphill battle.

 

Feel the same way, good list of schools but Cuse & UK are the only ones that would worry me

If UNLV or UCLA have a good season we might have some trouble with them. However, I think that if St John's is good enough we could get him to stay here but, STJ needs to make the tournament to land him

 people on jj are saying cincy is the team to be worried about

 

[SJU85]

Not sure why people don't consider Kansas a threat. IMHO, if they are on a Kids list, they are all a threat. You never know, one way or the other what might sway a kid even if it doesn't necessarily seem reasonable to you.

Fran's mini me has gotten Cincy close to the handler

 

[ErickTheRed]

We beat out Kansas for Jakarr and beat out cincy for Chris, hopefully the trend continues with Jermaine. If not i trust Lav will go out and recruit a solid replacement.

That is the word circulating through the grapevine.

Fran's mini me has gotten Cincy close to the handler

 

Thought the handler was now out of the picture because of her loose lips.

Scouts west coast recruiting guru, commenting on Jermaine's list, said "UCLA isn't really involved". In fact, Scout doesn't even list UCLA as a school involved on their Lwarence Profile page. That could change, but for now they figure to have 4 McDonalds All Americans returning at the post position for what would be Jermaine's frosh season. They're targeting 2014 class 4s & 5s, more than 2013 kids. They are looking at a couple of 4s - but much lower top 100 guys they think would be willing to back up seniors for a year. Think Larwence is too good - he'll likely be a starter wherever he goes.

UNLV might be in a similar spot - the NCAA just ruled that UCONN transfer Roscoe Smith WON'T be immediately eligible this year - he has to sit out a trnansfer year, which means he'll still only be a Junior at UNLV for what would be Jermain'es Frosh season, rather than a senior...

Per Zags....

Jermaine Lawrence has joined a growing list of elite 2013 recruits who will sign in the spring.

“This is the most important decision he will make in his life to this point so it’s important that he takes his time with the process and feels completely ready to play for that coach and in that program,” his high school coach, Jason Hasson, told SNY.tv Monday.

“Right now, he’s continuing to develop relations with the coaching staffs and learning and studying rosters and styles of play.”

UNLV is loaded up front with highly talented players.
Pt will not be easy to come by there for a player who wants to be one and done.
