Norvel Pelle

Wow. Did someone play a joke on someone here? Completely contrived quotes??

Here is the thing. If Pelle really wanted to go back west (home) why in the hell would he prep in the east close to where he went to summer school (Philly) and where he is still set to go to college (SJU)? There are plenty of prep schools out west.
 

If the story isn't true it is an awful piece of journalism .

Would love to see how Rivals responds to this.
 
And he just tweeted this


@damn_Norvel
norvel STiX pelle I didn't decommit frm no where I'm focusing on gettn my grades rite wit the ncaa. More so I'm jus focusing on me and my fam.
 
 
Niel Nieves chimes in and if anyone knows Pelle he sure does.

I read some of those quotes from Pelle and I dont know if its true or false, but that sounds nothing like Norvel.
 
I'm not on twitter, but didn't Pelle seem like he hated Philly during the summer? (Perhaps I'm remembering wrong, though.) If that's the case, he definitely wouldn't be prepping there.

That said, I want to believe him, but I'll have to wait until I see him here. I've seen too many kids refute de-commits in the past several years, and most turned out to be liars about it.

I had visions of a St. John's version of Marcus Camby anchoring the middle for several deep tournament runs. Hope it somehow works out.

@damn_Norvel jus GOOGLE me

#LONGBEACH kid. God at the head, then family, then ball. always chilln nvr in a rush #teamamigos
 
This is the best news that we've had in a while...Norvel is going to be a difference maker whether it's in December or next year....We have a huge hole at C so he'd get plenty of minutes developing under an NBA level staff, playing in the media capital of the world in NYC, at MSG and in one of the best basketball conferences in America

Seems like a no brainer to me
 
 The source said he was still under the impression that Pelle wanted to attend St. John’s, but it was unclear when he might become eligible.

“If something happens between now and January and he can be in college for the second semester we’ll certainly help him get there,” the source said.

From the Zag's article, fwiw.

Hope he qualifies for December. being close in Philly is very very positive. Jakarr is dating others during the separation but do not count him out either!






Man on a mission.
 
 
 We need Pelle. Rivals did an awful job with that article.
 



I totally agree with Dan. You have got to wonder sometimes where some of the news sources get their material. That was a total hatchet job.
 
 I still want Norvel on board here for 2012. I hope he stays committed to Lavin and SJU. Postponing his arrival til next year is no biggie. With the entire year to prep I have little doubt he'll get qualified. Bummer he can't suit up this year, but a little more maturing won't hurt the kid. It spaces out our scholarships a bit more as well. If we get Garrett this December and Pelle next season, I'll be extremely happy with the way this thing ended up, only losing Jakarr. I take the fact that he is prepping in Philly as very good news in SJU's favor and that he's likely to stay on board with SJU.
 
obviously it is is tdeal if he qualifies in dec, but C is our weak link amd GG will be gone in 2 years. I would be very happy to see him sign his LOI for 2012. This year is a rebuilding year anyway. We want to make some real noise in 2012.

I don't count on too much real noise in 2012 if we can't add another strong post player to our current group.
We should have excellent guards ( with depth ), excellent forwards in Harkless, Pointer and Gathers ( need another one like Jakaar or Garett ) and a solid post in GG, but we need some help at the 5.
 
This kid has a tremendous up side, so here's hoping the coaching staff of a certain Philly university don't get too close to him.
