Johnny Hammersticks Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) Coveted 4* 2019 SF, Quincy Guerrier, to announce his final 3 tonight at 8:30. Cuse and Oregon believed to be among his favorites. Also, Joe Girard III to announce his commitment within a week or so. It’s believed to be between Cuse and Duke, so you know.... Edit: Guerrier narrows it down to Syracuse, Oregon and Illinois. Edited October 4, 2018 by Johnny Hammersticks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could’ve been the cherry on top Its a sweet 16 team returning 5 starters, a couple of which are NBA players, and 3 really good recruits as well not to mention a 6’6 SG transfer who is now eligible after sitting last season Jon Bowl Ajok was the center to commit. 6’11 current 3* defensive center 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 2019 4* SF Quincy Guerrier announces that he will commit on 10/31. Looks to be between Oregon and Cuse right now with Illinois on the outside looking in. Also, 2019 5* C Akok Akok (pronounced Ay-kook Ay-Kook?) making his official visit to Syracuse this weekend.

Seem to feel like Akok Akok is a coin flip and might be less likely than Isaiah Stewart at this point. My gut feeling is that we end up with neither Akok or Stewart; think Akok Akok ends up at UConn and Stewart at Michigan State or Washington. I hope I'm wrong, but that's my prediction at this point.

Our chances at getting Stewart have definitely improved a lot recently. We had been thinking for awhile that we had no realistic chance at him and now there's definitely hope. I know Stewart hated his visit to Kentucky at least, so unless they make a convincing last ditch effort, they're probably out on him. We'll see with Akok Akok; I'd prefer him over Stewart personally. He's keeping things really close to his vest as far as his recruitment goes. Someone close to him is trying to push him to UConn and has been telling UConn that he's 100% going there, but AA himself has denounced that. I really hope he ends up in orange but I'm not really confident about it. Guerrier...I think Syracuse would be pretty shocked if they don't get him. Assuming we get him, I'll be pretty satisfied with him and Goodine as the big commitments. Obviously adding Akok and or Stewart to the mix would make it even better though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously adding Akok and or Stewart to the mix would make it even better though I think most people forget about Goodine who is already a very good commit for ‘19. With the additions of Guerrier and either Akok and/or Stewart, this has the potential to be one of JB’s best recruiting classes ever. Your take on Akok being partial to UCONN is new to me, and I’m guessing based on someone “in the know.” Last I heard he was believed to be a Cuse lean. We’ll see... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) FWIW, I'm hearing that the coaching staff feels really good about Stewart coming to Syracuse. Apparently, there is family pressure to stay closer to home, and after his official visit, he is really warming up to the idea of doing so. For those who have followed me in the Syracuse hoops threads, I have made it known that I have a "source" within the SU athletic department (and another actually who is an alum and prominent donor to the university). My information has proved to be correct on many occasions, and turned out to be wrong on other occasions. College basketball recruiting is a crazy thing, and decisions can change at the last minute for different reasons. Take this information for what it's worth.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Huge! Quincy is going to be an absolute beast. Think a more athletic and stronger Demetris Nichols. With Joe Girard and Bryce Goodine already committed, this already makes a top 5 2019 recruiting class. Still work to do with 5* PF/C Stewart, 5* C Akok (who I believe is going to UCONN), and 4*C Qudus Wahab, I think this team is gearing up for a championship run.

Gavin in Va Beach Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Psyched about Guerrier! Watching the LeMoyne scrimmage last night, was really impressed with how loaded and versatile this team is, and that's without our injury rehabbing point guards. When they get back this team will be deep and dangerous! The future in college basketball looks Orange to me! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wealth of riches at both guard positions once Howard, Washington, and Carey return. Some overlap between positions, as guys like Hughes, Dolazaj, and sidibe give us some flexibility. I see the depth chart as follows, and I think JB will go 8-9 deep in many games. Washington and Braswell will inevitably be in JB's dog house, and will see limited time, IMO. I could see Howard Washington transferring after the season, actually. PG: Howard, Carey, Washington SG: Battle, Boeheim, Hughes SF: Brissett, Hughes PF: Dolezaj, Sidibe, Braswell ?

Not sure if it is online or not. Kind of surprised they listed the bench as 4 guards, 1 forward and 1 center. They had Hughes listed as a guard, but I think you are more accurate in showing him as a guard or a forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
