Marcus LoVett jr. will play for St. John's from next season
Marcus LoVett jr will just practice with the Red Storm
Talented point guard Marcus Lovett jr. from Chicago — the only true point guard on the Red Storm roster — has opted not to pursue litigation against the NCAA after being ruled a partial qualifier, meaning he only can practice, a source told The Post.
A nagging knee injury that would have kept him out a few more weeks if cleared played into the decision not to pursue the matter further, the source said. LoVett attended three high schools (Providence High and San Gabriel Academy near Los Angeles and Morgan Park High in Chicago) in four years and was behind entering his senior year, but made up the credits by taking night and summer classes through Morgan Park this past year.
The NCAA questioned the amount of work he made up, and therefore felt he didn’t meet its requirements, a source said.
