Awful news. Don't necissarily like Lavin but I respect what he did at SJU.
I'm sure we will regret him reviving the program both on the court and in recruiting, but thats not important now.
Best of luck and full recovery

Hate to see this. Lavin may have made me apoplectic with the way he made a shambles out of the UCLA program, but I don't wish him any ill will (or ill health).

St. John's releases MeikleSt. John's head coach Steve Lavin announced on Wednesday that the school has released prep forward Dwight Meikle from his letter of intent. "We wish Dwight the best of luck in the future," said Lavin. "He is an outstanding young man and a talented basketball player. The mutually arrived-upon decision to release Dwight from his NLI will now allow him to pursue other opportunities." The Red Storm also announced the signing of Chicago shooting guard Phillip Greene to a NLI. Greene committed to Lavin in January. espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/recruiting/school/_/id/2599/page/onthetrail/class/2011Not sure what's going on there or how many 'ships SJU has, but at first glance it appears Lavin may have reneged on young Meikle when a "prettier girl" came along. If so, he wouldn't be the first. I hope Meikle can find an alternative, and more welcoming, home.

Wishing Lavin the best on and off the court. The Big East need a strong St. Johns program.
