Khadeen Carrington (Seton Hall verbal)

@CNG_Staszewski: Coaches from St. John's and Rutgers already at Loughlin. Scarlet Knights head man Mike Rice being one of them. #CHSAA

Looks like this will be a long recruiting battle for Carrington between Lavin and Kevin Ollie. I'm completely ignoring Rice because Rutgers doesn't stand a chance against those 2.

I'm glad we're really showing a local recruit some early love.

I would be surprised if Rice was still at RU after the conclusion of this season.

Rice has landed a couple of good guards for next year. I think they'll give him one more year.

Last year might be his last shot with B10/12/14 whatever its called now looming.

They seem to continually hire coaches who implode there.

If I was Pernetti, I would think about hiring Bill Carmody, the coach at Northwestern. From NJ and knows the Big 10 (by definition). Also he's not a lunatic like Rice or Freddie Hill. He would also have an easier time getting kids into school at RU than he does at NW.

Khadeen Carrington will never have a practice quite like last Tuesday.
After finishing up the workout with his Bishop Loughlin teammates, Kobe Bryant walked through the Fort Greene school’s doors and hung out with the team.
“It was great to meet one of the players you look up to,” Carrington said. “I consider him the greatest after Jordan.”
After getting over the shock of having the Lakers superstar in his team’s gym, Carrington, one of the nation’s top juniors, used the meeting — set up by Loughlin coach Ed Gonzalez through Nike, which sponsors the Brooklyn school — to pick up pointers.
Carrington asked Bryant how he prepares for big games and handles the pressure of taking the last shot. The 6-foot-3 standout said the biggest thing he took from Bryant was how to be a leader. Bryant stressed not to let one bad play linger, to always communicate with teammates and not show frustration, even in difficult times.
“That definitely motivated me,” he said. “I talked to him and I see how his demeanor is, he’s very calm. I learned a couple of things.”
The Trinidad-born Carrington didn’t ask Bryant any questions about recruiting — the Lakers star didn’t attend college, after all.
Carrington has a plethora of schools coming at him, but he is focused on St. John’s, Cincinnati, Florida State and UConn at the moment. The lanky southpaw, considered by many to be the city’s No. 2 junior behind Lincoln star Isaiah Whitehead, is having a big season for Bishop Loughlin, a title contender in New York City’s famed Catholic league.
“The upside to this young man is amazing,” Gonzalez said. “When the ball’s in his hands, he’s going to make something happen. He's a playmaker."
Carrington talks frequently with St. John’s coach Steve Lavin and UConn head man Kevin Ollie and plans to take visits after the season. He attended UConn's "First Night" event and was in attendance Wednesday at the Garden when St. John's knocked off the Huskies.
“I’m open to going away, part of me is saying I want to stay home so family can watch me play,” he said. “Wherever is the best situation for me. I want to go somewhere where I can show my talent, they’re going to develop me as a player and as a person."

"Develop me as a player and person." Well, that's a no brainer, sounds just like our ace recruiter, Steve Lavin.

Would be tough poaching a B10 coach from the conference you are about to enter though.

Very true, but if NW let him go I would look to hire him if I was RU.

Don't want to take this away from Khadeen but two names you will hear with RUT will be Pearl and Greenberg, no doubt

 

[simplyred]

Both good coaches. One clean, the other not. I'd go with Greenberg.

Not good, calling lawmanfan, calling lawmanfan, where are you to comment on the choice?

 

[Moose]

Pretty sure Seth had some issues way back when at LBSU.

I'm too young to remember back that far.

If we don't get Severe we are in trouble. Zero sharpshooters on this team.

Max Hooper, Marco, Harrison

Hooper = unknown
Marco = unknown and cold lately
Harrison = 31% from 3 40% total FG

I would define a sharpshooter as a 40% 3pt/45% FG type of player who can make the mid range shots as well as deep 3's. No players we have can make those shots consistently.

Well only 40 players in the NCAA shoot over 40% from 3 so not many players anywhere can hit those shots consistently. As far as Hooper I can tell you for a fact he is a lights out shooter.

Also Rysheed Jordan > Jon Severe

I know he can shoot lights out in practice. But, let's see how it translates to Big East games. This kid was at Harvard and didn't get enough playing time so I'm not ready to crown him as Curry yet.

No one's claiming him to be the second coming of Curry but he is a great shooter. Fair point about seeing how he translates to the Big East but the same point should be made with Severe then

None of us know why he didn't play.
None of our 'esteemed' beat writers have bothered to ask or uncover yet.
