Norvel Pelle

 That would be great and a Dec. 19th arrival would be awesome.

How good would our pressure defense be with Pointer and Garrett on the wings and Gift and Norvel in the back. Scary good IMHO.
 
 Zagoria confirming with people at the Phelps School that Norvel intends to sign with St. John's this week.

Robbins claims in the Post that Pelle and Garrett will re sign as early as today.
 
Great news! Rescinding their commitments by both Gathers and Pelle (on top of Sampson's) would have been a terrible blow, especially with the BE in chaos.

Feel a whole lot better. However, things being as they are, I won't be 100% sold on his being Johnnie until I see him wearing the uniform, preferably in December.
 
Great news-just hoping that both are good to go in December-of course it's great news even if we have to wait a year, but what a  bonus if it's the December mark. Would certainly shore up the number of bodies, to say nothing of the additional size and defensive improvement/depth they both could bring.
I agree-
Pointer and Garrett on the top and Pelle and GG down low would certainly appear to make for a very tough defensive alignment.
 
I think getting Pelle back even if its for next season (hopefully hes elgibile in Dec) is much more important then having Gathers here.

I know its just from some clips or games ive watched online, and i know hes supposedly a beast in the paint, but i was very down on Gathers when i did see him. It could very well be because he was bored on the HS level by dominating everyone, but he just didnt seem to be trying or putting in any effort at all, especially on the defensive end.

Let's use that one season to garner the crystal glass. ;)

Why do you think it will only be for one year??
 
 Zags did quote pelle's coach, so hopefully the coach has some good insight as to what is going on, but until its on paper things can always change, but I really have confidence.

God is Jr and when Pelle comes next year he'll be a Sr.
 
If Norvel does recommit, Amir should be credited with a recruiting assist. He's been such a cheerleader for Norvel and Jakarr to recommit. Really gotta love Amir's fierce loyalty to the program notwithstanding his situation. Norvel recommiting also helps re-energize our recruiting efforts, as top recruits don't view SJU as sinking ship.
