'13 NY PF Jermaine Lawrence (Commit)

Help Support BearcatTalk:

So not to bring the mood down, I think this is a huge get. Following on twitter a lot of ppl "in the know" are just tearing up Jermaine's "handler". Saying this decision was in her best interest, not his and that the NCAA should look into "who paid his "sistas" T+L expenses". Let's pray this doesn't get ugly.

Check out @sammyalbano supposedly he's a former editor for CBS News, Former Executive producer of Inside the Big East.

The person who started the whole handler talk was Adam Zagoria because he is butt hurt that Lawrence didnt go to St. Johns. You can tell he is a St. Johns fan even if he tries to be objective. This is the same person that didnt say anything negative about Obekpa and his handlers once he went to St. Johns and that was a lot worse than this. There have been just as many people that say they've had no issue with Lawrence's handler as people that did.

Exactly, too much jealously and hate from the losers over at SJU. People on twitter should call Zagoria out for being a punk biatch who clearly is a nobody.

Exactly like the idiots here last year when it worked out just the opposite.

I believe Zagoria was upset with the way they lied to him about what Lawrence's plans were. He didn't like Lawrence's handlers but he had nothing bad to say about Jermaine. I don't agree that he should have made it public though.

The fact is that pretty much all these recruits nowadays have "handlers". Whether it is their family/friends/coaches/whoever. I hope this was a clean recruitment but I'm not naive.

Sounds like sour grapes that a recruiting "expert" didn't have the inside story. He's not entitled to anything from Jermaine.
 
I myself lost a ton of respect for Zagoria on Sunday. As soon as the announcement was made (one which nobody expected to come so soon) and it didn't go the way he had planned, he flipped out and talked bad about anybody he could, and that so happened to be someone close to Lawrence. Just a poor showing from him and I no longer find him to someone of credibility in my book. He showed his true colors on Sunday.

I agree. But we all have sour grapes from time to time but he shouldn't have made his public. My point was mostly that he wasn't personally dissing Jermaine. Who knows what other interactions he has had with Jermaine and his handlers and regardless of how they treated him, he should have kept it private and move on.

Unfortunately all of this rings with the old "our right to know supercedes your right to exist" :)
 
Ignore it all. Every top player is highly sought after and when the commit, someone is going to get upset about it. Hell, there's people on here that are still crying in their own feces we didn't get Obekpa. All the "handler" talk means nothing when summer workouts begin.

I was thinking the same. Honestly I am going to stay off the links that allow comments and stuff because reading everyone's comments and hating on us is frustrating so its better just not to read all that bs.
 
Who cares what others think. He is a Cat. At least he will be on the 17th APR. Could careless how much heartburn anyone else has with it. Great job by Mick and Staff. It really pushes the program another step in the right direction.

Lets put it this way. I'm a older guy who loves to go to the games. In the past I've bought packages or single seats for games I have wanted to see in person. Now I'm all in. I'm buying season tickets and if possible lower level ones. Never done this before except for my Reds. Mick and staff deserve our praise and support. They know what they are doing and we have a young coach who is competent,local and wants to be here.
 
havn't been on the board for a while................. and its the first time this site has had the same reaction to me as porn does!
 
i have tried not to follow this recruiting cycle as much because of how much it sucked losing Obekpa.. I am glad he is a bearcat.. This signing will really help the offense next season.. I think rubbles will be the key. I expect a great deal of improvement from him, this really opening the offense! The best signing of mick's career..
 
That would be a nice line up.. Althletic.. I still like JJ off the bench mean mugging people!
