St. John’s coach Steve Lavin and Minnesota coach Richard Pitino were the latest coaches to stop through Lincoln High School on Tuesday and watch 2014 guard Isaiah Whitehead.
Pugh was a 2011 and 2012 All-Big East First team selection, despite missing the first four games of the 2012 season with an injury. He started every game in his three-year career, and blocked for three separate 1,000-yard rushers.
Indiana spent a considerable amount of time recruiting class of 2015 Roselle Catholic (NJ) guard Malachi Richardson during the high school season and the pursuit has intensified this spring.
Rick Pitino extended an offer to 2014 prospect Isaiah Whitehead Thursday. Pitino recently has focus his recruiting to the 2014 class after finishing a strong 2013 class last month.
That trio has inspired current Lincoln junior Isaiah Whitehead, who’s been heralded as the next great Railsplitter since his freshman year, and he’s lived up to the hype.
Syracuse fans, who may still be worried about the Big East at this point, can look forward not just to the ACC but to the players who will be joining them over the next few seasons.
