Lavin Lands First Commit in Polee

By Adam Zagoria on May 06, 2010, 12:56PM

New St. John’s coach Steve Lavin has landed his first recruit since taking over the Big East program.

Dwayne Polee, an athletic 6-foot-7 wing from Los Angeles Westchester High School, chose the Johnnies over Georgia and Oregon, which he visited last weekend.

“Yes,” he wrote via text on Thursday. “It’s somewhere where I can focus on school and basketball.”

Described as “the best dunker in high school basketball,” Polee averaged 21 points and 8 rebounds last season when he led Westchester to the state championship. The Los Angeles Times named him City Player of the Year.

    Rico and the seniors will have a great impact on Dwayne by the end of Frosh season if he listens and works hard… Each One Teach One…let’s go Johnnies!

    AZ,

    Hearing that Stevie has talked about the TWINS going to ST . Johns.

    How will the Twins fit into the John’s rotation?

    Stevie is bringing in a West coast style.
    Is NYC ready for it.

    Polee is overrated as are the Wear Twins. Neither will make the league.
