Steve Lavin’s recruiting haul gets bigger by the day.
One day after introducing a five-man recruiting class, St. John’s received a verbal pledge from 6-foot-10 Los Angeles Price center Norvel Pelle, the No. 2 center in the Class of 2011.
“It feels like a home away from home,” Pelle told ESPNU. “Coach Lavin is a very smart guy. He’s a very smart coach. I just loved the way he approached the situation.
“He was calm and cool. He knew other schools wanted me and he gave me space and also made sure I knew they wanted me.”
