This South Kent School is taking on these two guys XU is after. Don't we have a kid coming in from South Kent this fall?

From the NY Daily News:
Omari Lawrence headed to South Kent

Omari Lawrence will join former St. Raymond teammate Kevin Parrom at South Kent next fall.

“It’s official,” Lawrence, one of the top players in the 2009 class, told the Daily News by phone on Tuesday. “I just have to fill out the paperwork.”

Lawrence, a 6-3, 180-pound shooting guard, will join Parrom at South Kent. Lawrence said former Bishop Loughlin center Dan Jennings, who played at Oak Hill last season, could also transfer to South Kent and play for first-year coach Kelvin Jefferson next fall.

Lawrence scored 18.2 points per game and pulled down five rebounds last season to earn Daily News All-City honors.

Lawrence had hoped to compete for a city title in his last year at St. Raymond. But when Parrom was dismissed from the school following an altercation with head coach Oliver Antigua last month, Lawrence said his plans changed.

“To win a city title without Kevin would have been tough,” Lawrence said.

The Bronx product played in the NBA’s Top 100 camp last weekend in Virginia and plans to visit Marquette this weekend with Parrom. He is also being recruited by Arizona, Pittsburgh, Xavier, Georgetown, Memphis and St. John’s among others.

I don't think so, JKC. Here's the schools of our five incoming recruits:

Kenny Frease-Massillon Perry HS
Terrell Holloway-Cincinnati Harmony HS
Mark Lyons-Wolfeboro Brewster Academy
Brad Redford-Frankenmuth HS
Brian Walsh-Coraopolis Moon

You might be right, JKC, but didn't Michael Beasley go to 5 high schools? And he was no problem at KSU, and will likely be the #2 pick tonight.

While Lyons, or any recruit, could turn out to be a problem, Miller doesn't have a history (to this point) of bringing in guys who look like they're going to be disruptive or hard to handle. Just the opposite, I'd say.
