When you watch the video, he definitely looks the part. Could he be another Geo Baker sleeper? St. John's either watched him or offered him.

Plays a bit below the rim. That missed dunk??

Pike is always recruiting.......gotta love this guy.......it worked with Mathis and hopefully shortly he'll pull in the big kahuna or 2 or 3....

I see Stepinac did win and Griffin scored 10. How long did coach stay? In the last game Linden defeated Pope John XXIII by 80-66 and Tavon Jones scored 32. He had 29 yesterday in the 74-45 win over North Bergen. The Patrick School also defeated Camden by quite a bit. Maybe coach was watching Manuel as well.

Griffin is not a point guard, so he would be competing against Geo, Mathis, Kiss, Harper, Thiam for minutes at the 2/3 spot.

His teammate Joel Soriano is a 6'9" player.

Tavon Jones keeps scoring in buckets.

Has coach been to any of his games?

 

[knights1212]

That is why I asked how long Coach stayed at the games yesterday. Coach saw Tavon play several times last year. I am not sure about this season.

Griffin does not exactly scream high level athlete.

He does perform well in a good conference though, and can play either guard position.

He is a typical Pikiell player. Long wingspan, plays more than one position, nice kid, etc.

Somebody should tell the kid not to include a missed dunk in his highlight tape! ;)

Thanks for link,Dave.

HIs coach saying he will score in bunches is not reflective of where his recruiting is at the moment.

One high major offer they said. What are all the coaches waiting to see?

Rutgers has a surplus of players at the 2 guard position ,ie, Baker,Kiss,Mathis and Harper.They need a point guard and a taller small forward who is a 3 point shooter.

Sold! This kid has a sweet shooting stroke from the outside. I want him.

The players I mentioned aren't leaving.

Judging by who RU is recruiting right now they seems to think they need more wings/point guards.

Exactly. Pikiell knows he needs three point shooters desperately. The other teams that are successful don't just have one or two guys that shoot the three. They have three or four options on the floor at any given time.
