Rysheed Jordan
- Thread starter Moose
- Start date
Why, maybe he sees little pt at SJU the next 2 seasons with Branch and Greene ahead of him?
Maybe he wants the ball in his hands 30 minutes a game from day 1 on campus which we can't offer.

Temple is now in the BE.
That will get their own fair share of very good Philly talent.
No shame at all if Jordan opts for Temple.

I agree. Temple is very respectable. I never take them lightly, especially for a Philly kid.
My hope is that it may be too close to home, and he might want to get away a bit. ST.J can offer the best of both worlds.

The caliber of staff at SJU should not lose a recruit to the likes of a Temple or Rutgers. They simply have more to offer for what a top recruit like Rysheed would be looking for (former NBA PG, NBA draft prospects, etc).
Lavin is more than capable of convincing a kid looking for PT that he'll have his shot.
I'm just concerned that there's only a few Top 2013 kids left and 2 of our 4 main targets (Martin and Ish) committed elsewhere without taking officials. Clearly I don't know what is going on behind the scenes. I just hope that the staff is doing all that they can to land Rysheed and Lawrence.
I throw Obekpa's commitment out the window because that was one of the strangest recruitments I ever heard of.
Jakarr simply wanted to be here and Lavin recruited him as much as anyone he ever recruited.
Jones was an incredible get.
It's not a matter of being worried. Just not having to recruit 8+ targets and being able to hone in on a few with how good of a recruiting staff that we have, it would be really nice to add highly ranked recruits.
I agree with you for the most part though.

You do realize that even landing 1 of the remaining two players would arguably be the highest rated player Lav has landed here? Lawrence is ranked 20 by Rivals and Rysheed is 28.
I think its clear they are doing everything. If anything the focus on 13 probably affected 14. Just as 12 affected 13. We're still playing a bit of catch up.
Not really. The rumor was based on the theory by ZACH BRAZILLER.

That being said, it would be amazing to see Jordan sign on the dotted line for SJU.
That was the headline but the article offered nothing new. Said Jordan appeared to be leaning towards Syracuse or STJ. Writer also thought Syracuse isn't an option with Ennis and Patterson signed so the writer, without any evidence, assumed Jordan must now be leaning towards STJ. Of course you have to assume that both of the first two assumptions are correct before you can even shoot down the third one as conjecture but the headline was catchy.
