Breaking News: Sources Confirm Omari Lawrence transferring to Kansas State
Don't know if I should believe this.
QUEENS, N.Y. – St. John’s head men’s basketball coach Steve Lavin announced that freshman swingman Omari Lawrence (Bronx, N.Y./South Kent (Conn.) plans to transfer to another institution this offseason.
“We wish Omari all the best,” said Lavin. “He is a talented player with a bright future, and he leaves St. John’s University in good academic standing.”
Lawrence played in 25-of-33 games as a rookie in 2009-10, averaging 2.5 points per contest and 1.5 rebounds in 9.3 minutes. He connected on 34.7 percent of his field goals (25-of-72), 33.3 percent of his 3-point attempts (4-of-12) and 34.8 percent of his free throws (8-of-23).
Lawrence’s best performance of his freshman season came on Jan. 23 against Villanova, when he scored eight points on 4-of-6 field goals in 14 minutes, and added two rebounds, an assist and a steal.
St. John's needed another scholarship, and coach Steve Lavin found one yesterday when swingman Omari Lawrence said he would transfer out of St. John's.
If St. John's was going to sign California swingman Remi Barry, Lavin needed to find another scholarship.
Lawrence, a sophomore from the Bronx, did not say where he intended to transfer. He averaged 2.5 points and 1.5 rebounds in 9.3 minutes last season for the Johnnies.
Lawrence, a native of the Bronx, played in 25 games last season, averaging 2.5 points and 1.5 rebounds. He shot 34.7 percent from the field (25 of 72), including going 4 of 12 from 3-point range.
His best game was against Villanova when he had eight points on 4-of-6 shooting and grabbed two rebounds.
Freshman guard/ forward Omari Lawrence, jewel of last year’s recruiting class, and a positive step towards getting top New York City kids to play for St. John’s, revealed his intentions to leave St. John’s, which he has hinted at for weeks. According to his twitter, the news will be made public by the school on Monday.

His best game was against Villanova when he had eight points on 4-of-6 shooting and grabbed two rebounds.
The player that has a chance to step up is Bronx native Omari Lawrence.:frown:
"Omari is more like Mace and Quincy, but we can swing some other guys and Omari can really help us," Roberts said. "He has a chance to give us some good minutes. He's going through the normal process for freshmen. He's had some good games and he's had some games I'm sure he thinks he could have played better."
Lawrence, a 6-foot-4, 210-pound freshman, could have a great chance when the Red Storm (9-2) play Bryant College (0-11) tonight in Carnesecca Arena (7:00, no TV, WBBR 1130 AM), coming off a 71-66 loss to Cornell Monday night in the championship game of the Madison Square Garden Holiday Festival. It's the last game before St. John's begins Big East play on Dec. 31 at Georgetown.
Lawrence is averaging just 2.5 points and two boards in limited minutes, but he is doing everything and more to stay on the court. Lawrence has been working with strength and conditioning coach Pat Dixon to drop 10 pounds, and he has been staying after practice for an extra 90 minutes of shooting.
"I think the speed of the game has been the hardest thing to adjust to," Lawrence said. "I need to be more consistent. If I can show the staff that, I'll see the court more. It's on me."
St. John’s freshman guard Omari Lawrence has started his career with an interesting role – an off the bench jack-of-all-trades. He’s defended against Duke’s Kyle Singler, he’s brought the ball up against opponents, he’s been the rebounder in a 4-guard lineup. In all of this, he’s put up an interesting stat line – an effective field goal percentage of 39.7% (not good), an offensive rating of 71.6, a defensive rebound percentage of 16.8% of available misses, a 5.0 steal percentage, a turnover percentage of 28.0, 2.1 block percentage… he’s made some plays but he has struggled as well.
Don’t write him off like some have. In fact, look at Maryland’s Sean Mosley. He was a top 150 guard (as Omari was in all the scouting services at one point) who came to Maryland and looked like he had no clue how to shoot a basketball. Mosley rebounded decently, defended solidly, made passes from time to time but didn’t make enough positive plays. Mosley couldn’t hit the side of the barn and compounded it with turnovers. Omari? He rebounds decently, defends solidly (with some mistakes to be sure, but he is very willing), he makes passes from time to time but not enough, and his shooting is… not good right now.
"Most recently I've been offered by Marquette, Syracuse and Villanova and, oh yeah, Louisville as well," says Lawrence who plans to take a visit there once the AAU season is over.

big 12
i have some pics of him from a workout last week he is cut up. too little too late for him at st.johns
he hurt his shoulder got fat. healed it was still fat. coach at south kent never made him get into shape. he just lifted weights and played. he thought he was gonna step into the big east with his skills. not being in shape. he was feeling himself the staff didnt control him and whip him into shape. he got back into shape during the middle of the season but it was to late. but he is straight now. humbled like hell but i think it was for the best i got my man omoney back. he is oh so focused now.
just heard K-state knocking st the door too.
Definately was out of shape> agree with that. But his skill set is still very high. Saw him work out at gaucho gym and the kid is down to 195-200 lbs and jumping to the moon again. Definately needs fresh start. Minnesota got at him too. Tubby Smith would be a good look for him. Though his performance last year didn't show it, this dude destroyed every gaurd in his class nationally in AAU circuit. OZ Cross can confirm that. That's why these colleges want him. They know his best foot wasn't forward at SJU,partly hids fault,partly Norm's.
Omari Lawrence is a 6'3" 175lb shooting at St. Raymond H.S. in the Bronx. Lawrence is a relentless individual who powers his way to the rim by any means necessary. Although he does have a reliable mid range jump shot he tends to prefer attacking the rim, usually scoring the basket and picking up the foul.
Lawrence is also a good rebounder, getting many of his points from offensive rebounds or off fast break created off defensive rebounds. Lawrence like Lance Stephenson can and will take over a game if necessary. He also tends to inspire teammates.
Lawrence sometimes tends to force shots but rarely. Omari Lawrence plays for Coach Oz Cross and the NY Panthers Juniors.

could he be a more Martin player?
Lawrence is a full basketball package, if he pans out. He can shoot, slash, defend, handle the rock, and become a presence in the passing lanes. Lawrence could make an immediate impact.

Why do you guys both want to offer everyone possible and at the same time worry about class size? You should instead wonder who will be leaving early. It's happened every year for Frank, hasn't it?:ohno: :ohno: (ftp://:ohno: :ohno:)

My guess is Dom.

He's like the guard version of Dom basically.*
*I'm OK with this. Just OK though. To get me ecstatic we would need a super athletic guy who can also shoot the ball.
You know, the more I look into this, the more ok I am with this. Dude had a lot of hype coming out of high school. Curt Kelly type unmotivated fatty that never vibed with the coach. We could do worse than a guy with a second lease on his basketball life ready to prove everyone wrong. Looks like the skills are there. Not to mention he's in shape for the first time in his life. Greenawaldt will rock his world.

Who all would you guys want to leave if so? Russell? Irving?I say Nick...We need 'tavs pre-game dancing, imHo.
I'd go with Martavious. :users:
Who all would you guys want to leave if so? Russell? Irving?As unimpressed as I was with MI, I have to wonder what's the deal with Russell? I want to believe he's better but there must be some reason he hardly ever played amirite? Kind of like I really really want to believe some miracle bench rider from last year will be able to be a good QB this year, but that's probably bullshit.

good thought. he just has to graduate juco, though. he doesn't appear to be Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).
another possibility: could be placed at a juco with the plan to emaw in '11. would then be a huge class.
Are you transferring to K-State
strong possibility

Anytime a kid transfers in the future, K-State will be mentioned due to our elite status and Frank's ability to build upon transfers, whether it happens or not, imho.

Would only be about $300 to get it to air 5-6 times in a cheap game.
depending on the market, most cable spots only cost $15-20 per airing. Bump it up a little bit for sports, and it's really not horrible. Most cable companies have a minimum # of times that you air, so you can't just give them a $20 bill and run it once...but a couple hundred bucks and you'll be on several times

I have no idea....I just assumed that the university held a copyright for "kstate." Fitz might have a contractual agreement with the university that allows him to use names/images/etc.

Omari in all likely hood will wind up at K-State.
I hope he balls well at K-State and enjoys "lovely" Manhattan... Kansas with the other New Yorkers. He's right for that team - he'll draw a crazy number of fouls.
When realty sets in it's a humbling experience like it was this year. K-State will be getting a focused an in shape Omari. This is the best he has looked since his junior year in HS. I tell you know lie with how he is playing now he would have pushed to be a starter.

This could be one of the greatest posts I've ever read. But, to be fair, their actual good journalist guy Cassidy is out of the country right now. But, I mean, BSAC would have schooled him anyway.....and Cassidy would accept that.

Your exchange w/Omari really needs to be included in the _33 goEMAW commercial. Maybe an extended 1-minute version for the Super Bowl ad? :dunno:
WTF is the extra schollie coming from? Maybe the guys have been spending so much time @ Hale that one of them is on ann academic now?
No, Steve, that's precisely how it works.I would recommend going back to ksufans and reviewing our extensive conversation and digging up of the rules re. This from about 2 years ago. Then, when you find it and read up on it, stay there.
Nope. You're so wrong SD. Again. You must be modding while wearing argyle, curled up in the arms of a girl 1 1/2 times your size.:surprised:

Omari's a Cat.
#23 ranked SF with offers from UConn, Xavier, Louisville, Memphis, WVU, Arizona, Auburn, Clemson, etc and we're mad about this?
Been a Cat fan since Curt got on board. Loving the fact that you got Shane, Now O-money may be on the way. Whoa!!! He is a problem on the court! Hopefully Frank will get the real Omari to stand up.
Here is a hometown perspective.

Well, well, well it is unraveling before our eyes.
As I have always said you can't spell Dominique Sutton without quit and you can't spell Frank Martin without Affirmative Action Joke.
Buy hey, we can all go bask in the glow of our Big 12 Runner-Up trophies and our Almost Made it Out of the Regional banner. Why you guys keep blindly defending Frank (one somewhat smart poster has dubbed you Frank-ites) while dragging down the only coach as K-State who has won something worth a damn is beyond me.
I am sure this thread will devolve into people calling me names or getting upset that am not as "PC" as you would like, but relax. You can always go back to reading you threads about dandy-boy TV shows and what kinds of imported beers you pretend to enjoy.
Solved: Dax is 'noudji
While dax may be correct about Frank he is dead wrong an just about everything else (including his irrational love for Iranian dictators).Solved: Dax is 'noudji
Yeah. Dax: Major props my man.

People may have gotten in front of this Omari Lawrence thing. He says he's "still awaiting final confirmation." Not "done" just yet.
dammit, frank, when I told you to recruit like you have 13 available, I was mainly talking about really really good players. But I'm really a lot more upset w/ Jeuvol than this guy.
I'm also going to suggest that maybe ksu_FAN isn't necessarily on a summer hiatus :surprised:

He was my third guess :runaway:
Losing Dom would kill me, just for sentimental reasons... I'm a softy for that big lipped bastard. :frown:I know, he's let me down. Its time to move on..
Sutton had some good games, but he was mostly just a moody headcase last year. Wildly inconsistent in every phase. Wasn't even a reliable defensive stopper. Not sure how much he'd actually be missed.
Did you even bother to read my post? Who can play the 3 for long stretches without exposing glaring matchup problems?
If we have him playing pressure D 25 ft from the bucket on the wing, he's toast and we're toast.

Given how inconsistent Sutton was, Samuels would be an upgrade. The match up problems would be worse for our opponents than for us if we had Samuels, CK, and Asprilla or JHR all on the floor at the same time. That's a really big lineup and I'm looking forward to seeing it. The rest of the time can be split by the others you mention.

Samuels was just as inconsistent as Sutton, if not more last season.
this sutton/lawrence issue is bringing out the Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) in the kstate fanbase. and unfortunately the stupid gap between the average gpc omari post and the average goEMAW omari post is nowhere near what it should be.

Lawrence expects the conversation to take place in the next couple days, but warned that nothing, as it relates to his imminent transfer, will be certain until the conclusion of that call. Even still, the sophomore says he already has an idea of what his role on the team will be should he, as expected, find himself in a purple jersey.
GPC:You know why this is frustrating? If Frank knew that he was going to be yanking someone's scholarship, then he should have done it sooner so it could have gone to Rosario or Babb instead of this kid. I'm sure that he's alright, but it feels like we're settling and simply saying he's a good "fit" for the program.QuoteLawrence expects the conversation to take place in the next couple days, but warned that nothing, as it relates to his imminent transfer, will be certain until the conclusion of that call.

Basically, Frank has to finish the process of yanking a scholarship before he can formally give one out. Has to be. Otherwise the invite for walking on would be done and the kid would have his ticket booked.

Or Frank is stringing Omari along in case Myles doesn't get here.

the only way lawrence makes any sense is if they see both him and mcgruder as 2s. it doesn't make much sense that way either.
The only way it makes sense is if they are willing to oversign this fall.
Awful lot of people in this thread think that they know more than Coach Martin.
At least half this board also thinks that Snyder is not a good coach.

Kinda OT here, but I just looked at Dom's Rivals profile and I noticed he was offered by KU.
:surprised:
Dom was highly recruited. Pretty sure it was basically down to us and Wake Forest. Dude is a tremendous athlete, his offensive game just hasn't really been impressive. Every offseason I keep hoping the light will come on and he'll really start attacking the rim but (aside from a few flashes) he looks uncomfortable or unsure of himself out there.
K-State has a couple of wealthy alums in Conn. who own investment firms (this is true, one of not both are on the Foundation President's Club), one of them knew the Lawrence family from when he was baby, so the alum is considered a friend of the family and will be paying Omari's way his first year at K-State.
That's how they're getting around the whole scholarship issue.
Great news.
Dax has also been working the "Te is overpaid and doesn't recruit for crap" talking point pretty hard this offseason. I blame this all on BMW. With no natural enemies around, Dax is forced to turn his wrath towards his own.
That's the kind of borderline cheating I can really get behind!! :cheers:
So, the uncertainty and waiting? Just making sure this won't F us in the A later?

Why would he regret picking up a PG? That's really the only position we're unsure who will be playing next year. He may not think Tavious can handle it and no one wants to rely on a freshamn to run the show, unless it's a John Wall type of talent.
Bet Frank is regretting getting last minute Myles right now.
I imagine Pullen will spend about half his minutes at the 1. Russell hasn't shown us much of anything, Not sure if Tavious will ever be more than a role player and Sprads has never played a minute of college ball yet. I've never seen Myles play before, Frank and staff have, so he must do something they like. You don't really think the coaches just panicked and threw a scholarship at the first guy who came along, do you? I'm sure they are aware of the fact that they could leave a spot open for next years class if they wanted to.

Check out twitter. He tweeted during the NBA draft that it was the "weakest" in a long time and that he's gonna get there next year.

SF - Samuels

C - Aspirilla

But yes, I agree....Te' and Frank have started to get Wooly type recruits lately...Obviously Te's salary isn't being used properly!
This was what my cousin was told by a player a few weeks ago...guess Frank keeps a very tight lip on things or my cousin is an idiot lol.

With Kansas State down a scholarship from the departure of Dominique Sutton, the natural assumption was that Omari Lawrence would take his place on the roster.
After all, the St. Johns transfer has visited Manhattan and made an announcement last week that he wanted to sign with the Wildcats.
But it may be Nino Williams, a Leavenworth High School product who long ago verbally committed to K-State, who gets first crack at the open scholarship.

This team badly needs another shooter, especially after Pullen leaves, and Nino can fill that need. These guys are a lot harder to find than guys like Omari.

Nino is the definition of a JYC. That's his game, not spotting up for 3's. Doesn't mean he can't or won't, but I'm expecting him to play almost like a Sutton clone who can actually hit 1 or 2 threes a game though.
if williams comes instead of lawrence, i'm like, 90% of the way back to happy.
turns out, not having the '11 to give was bothering me more than losing sutton. sometimes it takes something like the williams report to clarify your thinking.

Tough as nails NYC defender. Always finds a way to get to the rack. Jumps from here to the moon. After a year of working on his shot he will be extremly hard to guard. He's a lefty :) . Watched him Rip Jessy Sapp to pieces last week. Looks like he lost about 20lbs and is back in form. He looked good in manhattan last night and i'm sure he do good in manhattan in 2011.

No, use his redshirt on the transfer year and not lose a year of eligibility.
Sit out a year and then redshirt the next?
i bet a dollar that he goes cloud county or something.
Unless basketball is different than basketball, redshirts and walk-ons are eligible for traditional federal direct loans. I know quite a few people who redshirted during their walk-on period and paid for school with fed loans.

Guess I meant to say: "unless basketball is different than baseball.". That would probably make more sense.
Just for my own knowledge, I recall someone mentioning that the NCAA doesn't allow walkon/redshirts to get regular financial aid . . . is that correct??
Guess I meant to say: "unless basketball is different than baseball.". That would probably make more sense.
it is. mbball and fball are treated diff than all other sports because some schools make money on them instead of losing it.
I wasn't talking about a scholaship, but federal loans. Can't imagine how a kid talking out a widely available loan would count against a schollie limit.

St. John's transfer Omari Lawrence just confirmed to me that he is going to Kansas State. He told me a while ago it was likely to happen.
He's walking on. Wow. :surprised:
thoughts on the possibilty of omari being elegible to play this year due to the coaching change at his school and stuff?

He said he's sitting out this coming season so I don't think so :dunno:

a lot of misdirection in this whole deal though. i wouldn't absolutely count it out.
We all can agree that getting a former kinda high level player to walk on a season in the state of Kansas is a pretty elite feeling though, right?

in the abstract maybe. just feels horrible though, losing the '11.

The '11 is just as open as it's always been.
@youngo11 will b the next Wesley Johnson in 2012 & @D_Hardy_12 & @33brainwilliams names will be called in the 2011
BTW...does this mean the staff looks at Southwell as a guard? I mean really...not in a "well I'll give you a shot at it, but in all likelyhood you'll never see the floor unless it's at forward" ? Or is this more of a sign that McGruder's a 2?

From what I gather from his Twitter page, Omari Lawrence didn't answer my call because he's watching Half Baked.

i don't really see a downside. if he gets in shape and earns a spot, cool. if not, we don't owe him anything.
"Coach Martin talked to me about what it's going to take on the phone today," Lawrence said. "Now, it's just about me working hard and being ready to compete when I get there."
Following a high school career that spanned two schools before coming to a close in 2009, Lawrence, a highly recruited high school commodity, committed to the Red Storm over offers from Georgetown, Clemson, Auburn, Arizona, Memphis Pittsburgh and Xavier.

A highly rated guy comes in and it's on HIM to EARN a scholarship. In a rare situation, I disagree with Sys on this....this appears to be a very good thing.
HOWEVER, if we end up living up to our pre-season ranking this year, then we'll likely be able to get in on some highly rated '11 guys in the later period next spring....and then Sys may well be correct that we will be wanting more open spots (wonderful problem to have).

i don't think sys is anti this. i just thinks he likes to follow recruiting so much that it just sucks for him cause it is going to take future fun away from him. getting future fun taken away sucks.
Lawrence said the K-State coaching staff is already in the process of putting together a home-workout program for him to complete before his move, a program he had been aware of since his visit to the school's campus a month ago.

who knows. it's Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) all the way around. martin probably believes his own spin about how ku and ut have long players on the perimeter, and that's why they're good.
:D
That rascal, dprocket, over there realing 'em in again.
This message is no longer in our system.
What was his original post?
I don't get why everyone is so down about losing the '11 scholarship. Omari has no guarantees that it will go to him, and even if it does, Frank has shown that he is more than willing to run someone off of his team if he needs to make room for a better recruit.

As long as Omari "works hard" and is "a good fit," he'll get the scholarship, just like Energy did. Frank's loyal.

Indeed. There is no way he would ever run anybody off.

Yeah, I missed it too.
i don't dislike lawrence. i like him at least as much as the 6 or 7 3s kstate already has (except mcgruder, like him more). lawrence is just the last one in, so he gets the most ????s. but i'd trade southwell for lawrence, no hesitation.
as mentioned, i also hate that the 2011 recruiting is down to 1 ship before the july eval period even started.
Frank will open up one, probably two more schollies next season, IMO. Hopefully Martavious and the Canadian dude are already planning to transfer.
Rolling at the tave denial here. Frank loves the tave.

I love being the new "Transfer U".*Tweener U
*As long as these guys keep working out. I suppose even if just one of Aprilla/Lawrence is any good that still puts Frank at 75% success rate with transfers.
Kansas State didn't have to choose between Nino Williams and Omari Lawrence after all.
Williams claimed K-State's final scholarship, but Lawrence will transfer to K-State anyway.
"I'm going to redshirt this year and be a walk-on," said Lawrence, who averaged 2.5 points in one season at St. John's.
Lawrence, a 6-foot-4 swingman, will have three seasons of eligibility remaining after sitting out next season due to NCAA transfer rules.

will prob try to get that to 10 or 11 3's eventually. maybe a quick guard and a big center to round it out.

A quick check of the radar indicates that Omari Lawrence is in Concordia.
It's been real Omari. Keep doing what real men do wherever your travels take you.

He's probably going to Cloud b/c he's paying his own way. Similar to Asprilla last year.

True. I'm just guessing Lawrence is the save money option and not the get qualified option. He should be fine in that regard, this way he just has to spend less out of pocket or loans or whatever.
my guess is if Myles makes it, Omari will have a convo with Martin that includes the phrase "Concordia is beautiful in the fall..."

-A last minute change of plans has landed St. John's transfer Omari Lawrence at Cloud County Community College as a placement of sorts. As of now it's unclear to me if he will play for Cloud this year or even join K-State in 2011. I guess it's back to wait and see, but he's not expected to be part of this year's Wildcats.

That's strange that he hangs out with the team almost every weekend as according to his twitter he just left NY last thursday to come to Kansas.
