6-7 athletic wing/forward out of Cushing Academy where he played with Kaleb. Ranked pretty highly by the various agencies--mostly around 50 or so. Evan Daniels interviewed him in July at the Nike Elite 100 and he (Lawrence) seemed very interested in Syracuse and wants to visit; he vaguely mentioned that we've shown interest in him. Seems like we should track a top-50 player who's quite interested in us, even if we haven't offered yet.
 
Keep an eye on this cat. Had a very impressive weekend during the first live period and the staff will be keeping tabs on him. He plays AAU with Nick Richards and will be a future teammate of Jimmy Jr at New Hampton.
 
Francis how would you break down his game? Looks like a kris Joseph type but its always tough to tell from a 30 sec Highlight tape

Got a chance to check out Lawrence a couple of times last weekend. The Kris Jo comparison isn't a bad one. Lots of good mixed in with some bad. He can score on all three levels and is a solid ball handler that can facilitate and move the rock. Needs to get stronger and tighten up the shot selection at times, as he forced the issue when he didn't have to during certain points. Made some clutch plays late to win one of the games that I watched. Decent prospect who is pretty much on the same level as Tucker and Wright when talking forwards imho.

Are all bridges from Syracuse to Cushing still intact? It seems Kaleb followed his AAU coach through the separation process. Hope Cushing staff doesn't feel dirtied by Cuse.

Thanks for the update Francis!

Cushing is not a factor here since Lawrence transferred over to New Hampton Prep(Tyler Lydon prep school) this past season. JB has the best relationship with the coaches there in all of the NEPSAC. Which is why he's sending his son there and was his first recommendation for Moyer to attend.
 
This kid has looked solid in the Expressions game vs PSA. Really attacks the rim. Any update on staff interest?
