Jermaine Lawrence

This Cincinnati blog thinks that it's all about JL wanting to play SF, and Cronin and staff telling him he's a power forward.

"The nub of the issue would appear to be about the position that Lawrence was playing for the Bearcats. In his heart of hearts it seems that Lawrence views himself as a small forward, and wants to play as a small forward. The staff sees him as a power forward and wants him to develop in that direction. It would appear that Jermaine is convinced that he is the next Kevin Durant, and will do his best to go somewhere that will let him try to be the next KD. That's ultimately what this is about."

Yeah, posted that earlier in the thread and I think if true, it really works in our favor. Whether people think he should be a SF or not, we definitely have a hole there and thus can dangle the prospect of tons of minutes at that position and/or PF. If you think that Seton Hall is our main rival for him (which may or may not be the case) they have a top 50 PF in Delgado coming in for 2014 and two 3-star SF's Rodriguez and Sanogo.

My fault Simmons, I didn't see it. I'll delete my post.

No need, I don't see every post either. :cheer:
 
Wishing the best for his dad and family.

The NCAA would be heartless to not grant this kid an immediate hardship waiver.
 
fwiw;
@TheBBallDiary: Manhattan College is a potential landing spot for Jermaine Lawrence.

Still like our chances.
 
FWIW Kevin Durant was down to Texas and Manhattan when he made his college decision. ;)
 
I would be ecstatic, if Lavin found a way to get Jermaine here.
Whether he is eligible this year or next is almost besides the point. We'll use him when we can.
 
End-of-season review from the Cincy blog. Shades of Sampson's perimeter wandering, for sure, but he has massive upside. Will be a huge win if Lavin can reel him in.

"As bad as this season was on the offensive side of the ball Lawrence developed into a nice asset on the defensive side of the floor. Defense is the main reason why Lawrence will continue to get run with this team, even his offense doesn't improve."

"In 26 games J-Law shot at the rim 26 times while hoisting 58 two point jumpers. That should have been the other way round."

"If I am Mick I would put an ankle brace on him and rig it so that he gets a little shock everytime he wanders further than 15 feet away from the basket. That is where J-Law is going to have to live."

Marillac would probably want the same thing but would rig the ankle brace to give him a big shock. :)

Isn't Masiello away from the program while he continues his dogged pursuit of a B.A.?

Rutgers? I thought transfers within the same conference were taboo.
 
@NYPost_Brazille: Steve Lavin and Hofstra's Speedy Claxton have reached out to Jermaine Lawrence camp per source, no visits set yet. #sjubb

Rutgers is going to the Big 10.

If this goes the way I’m told then it really is SJU to lose.
