Damnit. Is this going to be Obekpa Part II where he drags this out for months?
That is interesting. Not sure what to make of it, if anything at all. Doesn't look like there's much information on why it was postponed on the St. John's boards yet.
He lives what, 10 minutes from the St. John's campus? He can visit anytime he wants. What does an official visit consist of? You go to a game, get a few free meals, and hang out with the players. He is more than likely hanging out with the players already and going to any game he wants.
The Ralph's odds:
St. John's 75%
UC 12.5%
UNLV 12.5%
He is St. John's to lose so do not get your hopes up.

I rate our chances a little better than that. Sarvino has a lot of ties in the NJ area. Mick has recruited NY very hard. St. Johns would seem to have a hometown edge but most college kids I know including my own liked the idea of going away to school. As a Athelte sometimes its best to get out of your own back yard. Less distractions and the expectations don't create unwanted pressure. See Yancy...

He may well end up at St. Johns, but UC has an excellent chance.
I agree. I would tell my kid to leave town and go elsewhere, simply because of the hometown pressure.

In his season debut @mainestory went for 18 and 5 blocks as @popejohnbball won with #stjbb Lavin & Chiles watching. Story coming.

It's not fair how easy it is for Lavin to watch his games lol. I just hope this kid wants to get out of NY for school. Mick and his crew have worked extremely hard on getting him.

Depends on who you talk to and read. Telep and some others have him a SJU lean, and some say UC but all are cautious because of the Obekpa thing.

just curious, who has said UC?
BearcatMick
Joel Francisco and John Stovall predicted UC in an ESPN Insider article. Five others predicted St. John's in the same article. None thought UNLV.

The Enquirer has an article this morning saying super bowl Sunday could be a memorable one for Mick Cronin because Jermaine will be making a decision soon. I do not have the link BC my phone is being dumb but there is more. Does this really mean he is making a choice soon and not dragging it out?! Let's hope so! I am biased but coming to uc is a no brainer and he will be the star. Any others thoughts on this?

That's what I was thinking. Maybe he has already made up his mind?! I find it ironic the Enquirer even does an article on this since usually they only report negative info on UC.
