Christ the King's Jon Severe has a list of Rutgers, St. Bonaventure, URI and GW, but says he's still open.

Unless there's some outside pressure, it doesn't sound like he's going to be making his decision anytime soon.

Posted: **Sun Oct 07, 2012 11:30 am**

I have a feeling Martez Walker is the number one target. Hurely was In Detroit, at Romulus High at a coaching clinic.
Somehow, I get a feeling he wasn't there for just that. Preston tweeted abut "wings up again", so I wonder if he was with Danny in Detroit?

Posted: **Sun Oct 07, 2012 11:42 am**

That BCAM coaches clinic had some good names at it. Also, the travel schedule of college basketball coaches is no joke.

Posted: **Thu Oct 11, 2012 2:28 pm**

Another surprise, St. John's now in the mix. Lavin getting anyone he wants, these days.

Ted Griffin‏@NYLTeeGee3

Jon severe will also be attending St. John's midnight madness

Posted: **Thu Oct 11, 2012 3:22 pm**

How the hell is he going to do both St. John's and Rutgers' festivities?

Posted: **Thu Oct 11, 2012 3:44 pm**

St. John's has theirs at 7 and Rutgers is at 9:30, so it should be feasible

Posted: **Fri Oct 12, 2012 3:16 pm**

NY Post has him just doing St. John's.

According to our good friend, RR12345, he is hearing Severe has it down to us and GW. I'm not sure who he's hearing it from, perhaps little voices in his head?

Posted: **Mon Oct 22, 2012 7:58 am**

Gw has a committment from 6'1'' combo guard Nigel Johnson from Riverdale Baptist and a 6'3'' SG Nick Griffin from Magruder High School. Having seen all three play multiple times, I would be surprised if they take on Severe, Johnson and Griffin all in the same class.

Posted: **Mon Oct 22, 2012 9:25 am**

He told rivals the only reason he's considering GW is because he knows he could start right away, their message board wasn't too happy with that.

Posted: **Mon Oct 22, 2012 9:29 am**

**Severe, the 6-2 guard from Christ the King, seemed to have a pretty good on-court chemistry with Martin, the Rhode Island commit with whom he took a recent visit to the Rhody campus.

“We’re cool; we’ve talked about possibly playing with each other later on in the future,” said Severe, who listed Rhode Island, George Washington and St. Bonaventure as some of his favorites who are expressing the most interest.

New insider article on Severe. For those who arent subscribers pretty much says that its between URI, GW, and Bonnies. Bottom line is if he commits before early signing cutoff, then its one of us .... if he holds out we may be forced to move on.

Would be nice to have our solid 3 so early. Havent seen this in a while

Posted: **Wed Oct 24, 2012 5:37 pm**

Man I have a hard time thinking someone could want to go play for GW or SBU over us right now. I guess maybe I am a bit biased though...

Posted: **Wed Oct 24, 2012 5:54 pm**

Maybe he just wants playing time?

Posted: **Wed Oct 24, 2012 7:34 pm**

Yeah I guess that could be it. Anxious to see what he decides...

Posted: **Wed Oct 24, 2012 7:35 pm**

The article said that he has stayed away from high major schools that have recruited him. I agree with Rod. I think it comes down to playing time over anything. I think he may have the potential to be a 6th man in 2013 and start sophomore year. Thoughts?

Posted: **Wed Oct 24, 2012 10:59 pm**

I think it is important for us to land a solid 3 pt shooter and based on what I have read the kid can make shots

Posted: **Thu Oct 25, 2012 9:27 am**

Zach Braziller ‏@NYPost_Brazille
Christ the King's Jon Severe tells me Duquesne has offered and he will take an official to St. Bonaventure weekend of Nov. 9. Severe said he will likely make a decision shortly after official to St. Bonaventure based on "where I want to go.

Posted: **Thu Oct 25, 2012 10:04 am**

I'd be surprised if the Hurley's can't land a guy from their area

Posted: **Thu Oct 25, 2012 10:21 am**

It seems Severe's perception of where he'd get the most playing time early is going to be a big factor in his decision.

Posted: **Thu Oct 25, 2012 12:13 pm**

Hopefully the guys we end up getting under Hurley are players who decide based on team AND personal achievements.

URI can point to a few players from the late-90s that can say their NBA careers were made possible by runs in the NCAA Tournament.

Posted: **Thu Oct 25, 2012 4:33 pm**

Isn't that kinda obvious, that he's going to base his decision on "where I want to go."

Posted: **Thu Oct 25, 2012 7:37 pm**

If Severe is looking for playing time right away, he'd be competing with Munford for minutes next year. Supposedly, Munford is very good, so we'll see.

Posted: **Sat Nov 03, 2012 9:28 am**

Posted: **Sun Nov 04, 2012 3:07 pm**

Do we even particularly need a SG for 2013? Do you think that the Hurleys are fine with the team we have? Seeing Munford play, having good transfers coming off the bench, and Powell coming in as a backup PG (most likely), I think our team, for the first time in a long time, might be in good shape. I am thinking they just keep it in case there is a high impact player who may have interest.

Posted: **Sun Nov 04, 2012 3:29 pm**

Yes, I think so. Munford is only here through 13-14, and if Bigby's eligibility actually runs out after this year, that may be the "extra" spot you hold on to for transfers, late signs, etc. Reischel could get minutes at the 2 spot, but Minnis is a pg.

Posted: **Sun Nov 04, 2012 4:09 pm**

OK, if Bigby is only here for one season, we have two scholarships for 2014 recruiting.
Not counting anyone leaving, which almost always happens.
If Hurley can bring in a nice player this year, great.
If he wants to hold them for 2014, great. That would give three for 2014.
Remember, they went hard after Pollard. So, they must want players for next season.
Time will tell.

Posted: **Sun Nov 04, 2012 4:19 pm**

Right, for 13-14, they lose, for sure, Nik, Brooks, and Malone and are bringing in Martin and Matthews. If Bigby is only here for a year, they have two for '13 left as of right now. If he's here for 2, they have two for '14 (Munford, Bigby) and just one left for '13. Again, assuming no other changes, which is unlikely.

But I don't think they're done for '13 recruits.

Christ the King's Jon Severe is taking his official visit to St. Bonaventure this weekend as planned. He was at Duquesne last weekend

Posted: **Thu Nov 08, 2012 6:28 pm**

Also says that Severe is focused on four schools: St. Bonaventure, Duquesne, George Washington, and URI.

Severe is an interesting player to me, as his rankings are kind of all over the place.

Interesting list ... all A10 schools. I'm prejudiced, of course, but you gotta believe that the greatest upside for him would be at URI.

"Jon Severe - The sharpshooter from Christ the King Regional HS can score the rock from just about anywhere. Severe often softens up defenders from either the perimeter and then flips it with strong drives to the hole, or vice versa. While a bit undersized for a shooting guard, the senior will still drop thirty-plus on you at the drop of a hat."

Sounds like a scorer that could back up Munford as a freshman and possibly start his sophomore year. If he's the type of kid Hurley is looking for, let's go get him!

Posted: **Tue Nov 13, 2012 2:13 pm**

In light of recent shooting events...I'm very curious which paper his pen lands on tomorrow.

We could use some help

Posted: **Tue Nov 13, 2012 2:32 pm**

He hasn't verballed anywhere, so he's not signing anywhere.
From the description of him, he sounds like Munford!
We could use a four year version.

Posted: **Tue Nov 13, 2012 6:10 pm**

I read somewhere that he's going to decide in November. I don't know if that means he will sign during the early period or give a verbal some time this month.

Posted: **Tue Nov 13, 2012 6:18 pm**

Hope it's us!

Posted: **Thu Nov 15, 2012 12:50 pm**

Posted: **Thu Nov 15, 2012 12:52 pm**

So, if he visited all his favorites, what's the holdup?

Posted: **Fri Nov 16, 2012 5:30 am**

haha!! oh I don't know maybe it's the fact that its probably the most important decision of his life to date...

Posted: **Fri Nov 16, 2012 3:14 pm**

If he's seen URI play he knows there's minutes for anyone who can hit an outside shot!

Posted: **Fri Nov 16, 2012 3:51 pm**

I have a feeling that Severe will be our next commit, just a guess. He might not see tons of minutes as a freshman, but he'd see some backing up Munford. And if he's as good a shooter as they say, he'd probably see more. And as a sophomore, that 2 guard spot would be his, unless we recruit somebody even better in '14. He's a friend and AAU teammate of Hassan Martin. They have talked about playing together in college.....then again, I also had a feeling we were going to beat Va. Tech a few days ago.

I don't quite have the same feeling for tomorrow's game.

anything on him yet?

Posted: **Mon Nov 26, 2012 9:50 am**

"Christ the King shooting guard Jon Severe and Brooklyn wing Richard Williams of Vermont Academy, both uncommitted prospects, will sign in the spring."
