Khadeen Carrington (Seton Hall verbal)

1. If you can't even play at Harvard, how good can you possibly be? Why would Harvard keep him on the bench if he's so good? It's a genuinely logical reservation to have. From what I hear he is an insanely good shooter, but it makes me wonder why he couldn't even start at a much worse basketball school than us.

2. So you can scout players better than Rivals? If so, then great! You can be our insider. Using your logic, nothing on Rivals is to be attributed to a prospect meaning good players and bad players are not distinguishable.

3. High school caliber is the same as McDermott doing what he's doing at Duke instead of Creighton. It means more if you excel against the best, not just the mediocre or weak.

4. Bourgault has shown flashes, but really cooled down and hasn't given reason yet to believe he is truly a consistent 3 pt guy. He still has barely played for us. Him and Hooper are not multi-tool scorers. Severe is. Would you rather guys who can score 3 different ways, or 1 different way? Not hard to pick that one.

Just seems like Severe has more tools.

Did you know his situation at Harvard? Elaborate, if you know the situation. I think he had stopped playing before the Christmas holidays, if I'm correct.

Once again, what does what Rivals say has to do with Severe being a known player, and Bourgault and Hooper being unknowns? By the way, I never said Rivals was wrong with Severe, but it's possible it could be some exaggeration. He could very, well be an "outstanding" shooter, but I've been around long enough to know that isn't always the case with kids coming in from high school to college. Not to mention, I've been told that Severe tends to be a "chucker." I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, as I've yet to see him play. I'll also say that I'm confident in my assertion of talent when I get a chance to see a player in action.

If you knew anything about talent translation, then you'd know a kid like McDermott could do the same thing at Duke or any, other high, major program that he's currently doing at Creighton. But you don't know that, so why bother.

Bourgault and Hooper doesn't have to be multi-level scorers to have an effect on a game. Have you ever seen Severe play or just rambling like you usually do? Whether, Severe has been able to score from all levels in high school doesn't necessarily means it's gonna translate to the collegiate game. He could do so; it could take time; or it may never transpire. If he were to come to St. John's, then I'll root for him like any, other player that has donned a Johnnies jersey since I've been a fan. But your argument is weak, per usual.

The discussion was about you trying to denigrate the games of Bourgault and Hooper in an attempt to build up Severe. That isn't a way to present an argument, as it'll be shot down every, single time.

All I can tell you is we will see. Regardless of people's opinion's of me and whether they want to admit this or not, I have been right many times before about my predictions while others were calling me an idiot. I think he would be a better contributor offensively than Hooper or Marco. But hey, if Marco. and Hooper somehow turn into JJ Reddick I will be a happy customer.

.Not seeing either Marco or Hooper play prior to them joining the team would take staff and coaches word on their shooting ability That being said .I know coach knows talent better than any member on this board So I am pleased whoever we recruit.
 
@NYPost_Brazille: Full house of college coaches. Tony Chiles (St. John's), Van Macon (Rutgers) Allen Griffin (Dayton), Tom Pecora and John Morton (Fordham).

And of course this was going to happen:
@AdamZagoria: Darren Savino of Cincinnati among those watching 2014 Loughlin G Khadeen Carrington, who has 8 as Loughlin leads CTK 13-12
 
I love the following quote from the article---

“We went to St. John’s a couple weeks ago,” she said. “That, too, is very attractive. It was very nice. We sat down on a one-on-one and I thought he was somewhat a very honest person.”


It's a recurring theme from many recruits and their parents when speaking about Coach Lavin. I firmly believe that this approach will pay dividends in the future.

You love that quote? I find it confusing to say the least. "Somewhat a very honest person". Either you are or arent honest. Somewhat is a really poor word choice.

Carrington shines in EYBL


As a junior during the 2012-13 campaign, Khadeen Carrington made his presence felt within the New York City basketball community.

The crafty 6-3 guard anchored Bishop Loughlin to the CHSAA ‘AA’ championship, before falling to Jon Severe and the Royals of Christ the King.

While playing alongside back-court mate, Mike Williams, Carrington poured in a team-high 25 points per game while scoring in a various fashions.

Deemed a premiere prospect in the Metropolitan-area, the NIKE Elite Youth Basketball League (EYBL) has given Carrington the opportunity to compete against the nation’s finest throughout the Spring and Summer.

Carrington, a Brooklyn-product, is traveling “The Circuit” with New York Lightning, a New York City-based, NIKE-sponsored AAU program.

Coming into EYBL’s Session #3 this past weekend in Dallas, Texas, Carrington was averaging a modest 11.1 points per game. In four games, the south-paw guard lit up defenses in the Lone Star State, averaging 17.8 points per game on the weekend.

On Friday, Carrington posted 14 points, four rebounds and four assists in a 75-73 overtime victory in a highly anticipated bout against the New Jersey Playaz and fellow Brooklynite, Isaiah Whitehead of Abraham Lincoln.

The rising senior capped off a phenomenal weekend with a 24-point, four-rebound performance in a win over the Georgia Stars on Sunday.

Carrington, who believes he simply found his “flow” in Dallas, eyes a trip to the EYBL Finals at Peach Jam.

As the EYBL circuit ends for majority of programs after Session #4 in Minneapolis, Minnesota in two weeks, Carrington expects the New York Lightning to be one of the 24 teams to qualify for Peach Jam.

With Carrington leading the way, a superb follow-up performance in Minneapolis is to be expected. As a result, high-major coaches will continue to recruit the dynamic guard.

Currently, Carrington lists offers from Southern Methodist, Connecticut, St. John’s, Cincinnati, Iowa State, Florida State and West Virginia, among others.

With a wide-spread skill-set and high-motor, Carrington envisions competing for a program who’s tempo is fast-paced and mentions UConn and Cincinnati as two programs who stand out.

With Carrington leading the way, the New York Lightning are in good hands heading down the stretch of the NIKE Elite Youth Basketball League.

"WEST HEMPSTEAD, NY - On Sunday, in a highly anticipated GameOver Classic 17U championship at the Island Garden, the New York Lightning defeated the New York Panthers in a rout 78-44.


M. Wingate

Luis Montero & Khadeen Carrington
After a good competitive start by both teams, the Panthers had no answer for the second half run that would strike by the Lightning.

Early on, both teams got out to a good start and opened up playing hard half court man to man sets on defense. With 10:50 remaining in the half, the score was tied at 10 apiece and for the next three minutes the game consisted of back-to-back action between the two teams scoring one right after the other.

NY Lightning players, Khadeen Carrington and 6'7" Luis Montero, (Sophomore - Manson Academy) caught fire in the paint and made a ton of free throws to help keep their team up by a narrow margin. With 3:50 remaining in the half the Lightning began to gain momentum.

After a timeout called by the Panthers, the Lightning came out in a full court press which led to a couple of steals and lay-ups by Carrington giving them their biggest lead of the half 27-21 with the half coming to a close. At this point it appeared that the Panthers were in danger of getting blown out but a trio of lay-ups, including one at the buzzer by Temple Gibbs , kept the Panthers within reasonable striking distance at half 36-27.

To open the second half, the Panthers really struggled to score the ball. Aggressive half court traps and intense ball pressure caused the Panthers to turn the ball over leading to easy transition baskets for Lightning.

The Lightning then went on an 8-0 run with 8:05 to go behind a vicious alley oop slam by Carrington followed by a jumpshot and a three ball by Montero which suddenly ballooned the Lightning's lead to 57-37. Gibbs continued to play well and converted on several lay-ups in the paint off some nice crossover moves but it would not be enough. The Lightning's team effort led to a trouncing of the Panthers for the rest of the game and the score would only get worse until its final conclusion.

Carrington and Montero led the Lightning with 17 and 16 points each while Gibbs led the Panthers and was game's overall leading scorer with 18 points respectively. - See more at:http://nychoops.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1516433#sthash.cKJ20Dhr.tNQdRK0P.dpuf
 
“@CNG_Staszewski: Loughlin guard Khadeen Carrington said he adddd offers from Vandy and Wake Forest and described his recruitment as "open." #boyshoops”
 
Harrison isn't a lock to leave, so I don't think there's room for Carrington unless he's willing to wait until April to commit.
