I haven't seen anything specifically confirming when he was going to announce. The only date I saw was tomorrow since it was his birthday but that has since changed. I think we are all just in a holding pattern right now and we probably won't know when he is announcing until a day or two before he actually does.
He has a picture from his UC visit on the front page of his twitter account. Hopefully that bodes well.
This recruitment compared to Obekpa seems totally different. In an ESPN insider article a couple of weeks ago, they mentioned nobody has done a better job recruiting this kid than UC but would that be enough to overcome the hometown lure of St. Johns. Can't hurt that one of his heroes is Oscar!

Old news bruddah. He loved his visit to UC. He bonded with the players and coaching staff, the students chanted his name with a cardboard cutout, and he watched a win that could've seriously used a big man. Go back and read his tweets, he had a blast.
I would assume that people know when the visit occured. I was implying that maybe it bodes well that he still has the picture up from the visit. He has had time to take it down if he wanted.
Here you go (2nd row, picture in the middle with him, and the cardboard cutout, and a student)

I don't see why he'd take it down if he picks another school. He doesn't and will not hate UC if he goes elsewhere.
Admittedly, I'm reading too much into the picture. I think you're doing the same with my comments. I just mean that it can't be a bad thing that he has the picture up. That's all, nothing about hating or picking UC or other schools.

After skimming through a St Johns message board I came acoss a post that states Lawrence will announce on his birthday that he will attend Cincy.
It was reported by someone by the name of "Maven" I didnt think too much about it until I continuted reading further post. From what I can gather, this "Maven" person is a well respected poster with a good track record and valued information regarding St. johns recruiting.
Anyways, I just thought I'd throw it out there.

That sounds awesome but I won't bet on it. If that was in fact the case there would be no need to take an official visit to SJU. I'm not even sure what the point of taking am official visit there considering he probably already knows SJU like the back of his hand.

Because he's young and he can. Not to mention there is fun to be had and he's young.

Man so much anticipation building up for the date 2-3-13. Maybe this is the real Mayan prediction.
Thanks for posting. Interesting that some of the posters literally said "if Maven says he is going to Cincy, he is going to Cincy". They said he tweeted it and after a quick twitter search, I could not find him. He must not have too many followers. Either way, fun to look at and keep my hopes up. I don't understand those that complain about posting news like this. It's all hearsay until the kid says it himself, so its fun getting different perspectives.

LAWRENCE STILL IN LIMBO
Jermaine Lawrence has returned to the court at Sparta (N.J.) Pope John XXIII after missing the first half of the season with a hand injury.
His birthday is Sunday but he is not expected to announce then.
“He’s not announcing Sunday as far as I know,” Pope John coach Jason Hasson told SNY.tv.
The Queens native is considering St. John’s, Cincinnati and UNLV and is expected to visit St. John’s one more time before announcing.

It would be sweet if Jermaine said, "Fuk the St. John's visit, I am going to South Orange to watch my team kick Seton Hall's as$!" Deuces.
