He plans on attending college as a partial qualifier, SDSU or UNLV seems likely, he is not going back to Phelps
Thanks a lot Ted. Unfortunate but good to know. Time to move on quickly.
No problem North, It is definitely disappointing but he just wanted to be close to home from what I have heard.
He liked St Johns, liked his future teammates, loved Lavin, but found NY too different from home.
St Johns fans need to chill out with their feelings of betrayal when it comes to recruiting. We had no issues years ago taking kids like Reggie Carter from Hawaii and Mike Moses from Florida who wanted to come home. These are young kids who want to explore the world then realize they are not ready to do so. I face the same issues with my son who is going to go away from home to play baseball in college, I am not sure how he is going to adapt.
Norvell is a unique talent but we have a staff that will find a comparable player.
All will be good, just remember these are young kids and not some corporate executives who get recruited to another firm.
