After taking an unofficial visit to St. John’s Thursday, St. Anthony junior Kyle Anderson, the No. 1 point guard in the Class of 2012, is now considering the Queens school.
“The visit went well,” Kyle Anderson Sr. said. “The whole staff gave a view of where the program is headed and the contributions Kyle could make. They talked about the talented players from the 2011 class that they were involved with and the timetable when St. John’s can be back in the upper echelon of the Big East.
“Kyle came away with a different view of St. John’s and its staff. If things hold true to what we discussed, St. John’s would be in the thick of Kyle’s recruitment.”
The 6-8 Anderson will take unofficials to La Salle (Aug. 31) and Seton Hall (Sept. 1).
La Salle, Virginia Tech, Miami, Pittsburgh, Villanova, Rutgers, Seton Hall, St. John’s, Kentucky, Louisville, Georgetown, Maryland, Xavier, DePaul, Michigan, Georgia Tech and St. Peter’s have all offered.
North Carolina, Wake Forest, Baylor, Indiana, USC, Virginia, Oklahoma State, UCLA, Syracuse, Florida, Florida State and Kansas have shown interest.

AZ,
The BUZZ from LA LA land is loud and clear.
How is it over there?
The chatters says…
Not sure this is the REAL STORY??
Kentucky recruiting for 2010 underwent a DISASTER.
This season was going to be horrible- NO NC.
YES, with all the HYPE, Cali hit a BUST.
Enes is not going to play. DONE.
So, the SCRAMBLING went into full gear.
And Cali and Dirty Blue did the unthinkable?
They talked and talked and talked to those around De Daniels.
The PLAN from the get-go was to reclassify and visit the LA schools and finally end up at Kensucky.
Was money at play….
Lets say, Money Talks….

AZ,
On the U Conn situation…
Over here ,in the West:
YOU must of noticed the TWO part penality from the NCAA. Yes, the scholarship reduction is evident.
But, Part II involved the CLEAN UP.
ADs were all gone and coaches were all cleaned.
Do you see a complete house cleaning?
Maybe a Lute is in the plans for John.
