twitter.com/marcus_lovettWould be expecting a decision any day now, certainly within the week. I think we're a long shot since he moved out east, but the kid has game changing talent and we don't yet have a solid answer at PG. Hoping he surprises everyone and chooses the Aztecs! My best guess is St. Johns though... www.verbalcommits.com/players/marcus-lovett-jr

Pass on Lovett.

We haven't recruited him for years, why he keeps showing up on this forum I have no idea.

I agree this Lovett thread ran its course a long time ago. We haven't shown interest and engagement for the past two years.

Would be a huge get for us, it's a long shot but he would most likely immediately start at PG. Unless F'ville you have a source you'd like to share I'm holding out and haven't heard anything about his recruitment. Just because there's no articles out there to read doesn't mean we aren't still in contact. Gundo, you can't really go back to back with a hate post followed by a "oh yea I think we backed off too" post... Kids grades are fine and you're nobody to judge a high schooler's situation.

Gundo, you can't really go back to back with a hate post followed by a "oh yea I think we backed off too" post... Kids grades are fine and you're nobody to judge a high schooler's situation. I am going off previous info, he skipped around HSs 4 in the last 3 seasons, including Seattle Rainer Beach, before Chicago. He had three offers into his Jr year even though he was a 4-star recruit and the word was, given all of his cross country journey and nomadic lifestyle was that his grades suffered and many coaches feared that and didn't want a part of it. I watched his film and even though he is a shoot first point guard ala Russell Wetbrook, he has good ball skills and a decent shot. Look at the Lovett vs Jamal Crawford clip on YT, impressive. But there is still something pushing coaches away is it grades, attitude, parents, me first attitude? I don't know, but part of what I heard was grades. I think Zabo will get more PT at the point if he can reduce TOs, great kid and a known entity.

I do not know anything about MLV but if you notice the guys graduating on the court last night , two guards waiting their turn on the bench for the Aztecs cheering on their team mates ( KZ and DW ) , plus incoming JH , plus the possibilities of guys for 2016 , wonder if MLV is still in the plans for the Aztecs.

Lovett has said he is going to the Johnnies, they are also interested in and Iowa PG transfer Trey Dickinson who Juco'd at Queens. He has delayed his announcement until after the season and as I have been saying for over a year he'll have qualification issues. That's why we UCLA, UCI and very one else on this coast dropped interest. Sorry Marcus.
St. John's and Illinois appear to be the two candidates with St. John's having been the recent leader, but LoVett hasn't even visited St. John's. The issue is that LoVett has taken neither the ACT or SAT, and a prospect cannot take an official visit until he has a score from one of those two tests.
There are significant questions about whether or not LoVett's has a transcript capable of qualifying but Irvin is adamant that LoVett will be a qualifier.

This is a great paraphrase from St Johns sbnation site. Well done.

This is a great paraphrase from St Johns sbnation site. Well done. Back on Novemeber 2 and again on December 5th, I posted that he wasn't going to make grades, thats why everyone gave up on him. I guess SB Nation picked up on my post and verified it. "Lovett isn't coming, heck I am not sure he can make grades anywhere."

The kid still needs to take entrance exams, SAT or ACT and have grades and units to make it to college, at this point he has nada. So it's summer school, China or Europe or JC. Most likely JuCo.

From his Twitter account, April 18, 2015:
Top choices in order • St. John's • Memphis • Illinois • UCI • DPU • Pitt • UNLV • SDSU

The Aztec coaching staff was in Dallas last week covering the Adidas Gauntlet watching LoVett play, Narain was there as well. With Zabo gone, perhaps the extra roster spot and need for a point isn't so far away after all?
