Help Support BearcatTalk:

Hearing there was actually a misunderstanding and UC is still on his list. Also heard Savino contacted him last night.
 
Now this:

Alex Kline ‏@TheRecruitScoop
A family friend of Jermaine Lawrence's informs The Recruit Scoop that the 2013 forward has no favorites & will cut his list to 10 in August.

I was just coming on here to post this. You really can't trust all these media guys, I guess. Heard Zags already had a story up on his blog about Jermaine's "top 3" based on the Borzello tweet. Funny stuff.
 
The 6-foot-8 Lawrence did come prepared when asked to list his schools. Rather than forget anybody, he consulted a list on his phone to report offers from Xavier, Baylor, Kansas, Virginia Tech, Villanova, Connecticut, Syracuse, St. John's, Rutgers, Louisville, Hofstra, Florida and Cincinnati.

According to Lawrence, each school is recruiting him as a small forward and he's looking to visit UNLV and Rutgers sometime this month. As for making a decision, he's in no rush and says that he may wait until next spring to decide.

"There's so many good schools recruiting me it's tough to decide," said Lawrence. "I just want to take my time with it and make the right choice."

'13 Rens (NY) F Jermaine Lawrence lists Cincy, RU, Florida, Cuse, UConn, Baylor, SMU, Temple, Maryland, UNLV, Indiana, St Johns & Manhattan.
 
He sat out the first two days of camp with a right wrist injury, but Jermaine Lawrence couldn't take it any longer. The 6-foot-8 combo forward from New York just had to get out there and play. That he did at a very high level using his elite speed and quickness to make plays all over the floor and in transition. Looking ahead he's being recruited as a three (where he should end up long term) but has the ability and size to play a bit at the four and will likely do so a lot in college.

Springfield Gardens, N.Y., forward Jermaine Lawrence had named both Louisville and Kentucky on his list of schools in recent weeks.

But the 6-foot-9 Lawrence said he hasn’t heard from either school.

Lawrence said Louisville offered “over a year ago,” but he’s only talked with the staff one time since last winter and said about UK that “I heard they were going to call and saw some things in twitter, but haven’t talked to them.”

He said Rutgers, Cincinnati, St. John’s and Syracuse were on him the hardest.

My thought is he is a Syracuse lean.

What ever happened with those problems Syracuse had last season? I forget exactly what it was. I thought some of their players in the past were supposed to have been punished but never were, and the NCAA was looking into it???? Or maybe not.

Unfortunately, I'm having a brain cramp and can't remember the story. But I remember feeling like it would amount to something. Plus, they're leaving the Big East soon.

2013 F Jermaine Lawrence says he will visit UNLV later this month. List includes Kansas, Syracuse, Florida, St. John's, Rutgers & Cincinnati

My Final Top 7 in no specific order Cincinnati, Kansas, Kentucky, StJohns, Syracuse, UCLA, UNLV

Clarify: It is a recruiting violation to message a recruit who has not yet signed a LOI, correct?

Because a shit ton of that is going down right now after his announcement of his final seven. lol
 
Jeff Borzello ‏@jeffborzello
Jermaine Lawrence said his top three right now would be Rutgers, Florida and Syracuse (in no order).

Uh-oh.

Shows you how quickly things can change in recruiting. A few months later and two of his "top three" don't even make the next cut.
 
Hopefully we can at least get Lawrence on campus during a football weekend and let everything play out. UC was definitely in early and he has great relationships with the coaches. Hopefully he takes that into heavy consideration.

Hoping we can Perry locked up during his visit then focus heavily on Lawrence/Woodson.

I gave up on Lawrence being a Bearcat a long while ago.

I'm holding out for Perry, Woodson, and/or Morman.
 
I have been posting for a while now that him being a Bearcat isn't going to happen. I still think he will end up with the Orange, but tis is recruiting. I hardly even follow his recruitment that's how sure I am of him not coming here.

It seems like we have a good chances at Perry and Morman. Knowing, that recruits can be ficklet to say the least, are there any other 2013 recruits that you would consider the Cats to be realistic contenders for?
