Again, I’m hearing that the coaches feel very confident that he will commit on his visit. Obvious physical differences, but his low post game kind of reminds me of Fab Melo. He does have a very smooth low post game. I think he is a very good 4 year prospect 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCOrange Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Didn’t have a chance to mention it here, but I had heard Oshae Brissett has been telling his professors that he plans to enter the draft and it appears that’s where things are headed with him seemingly posting a goodbye on Instagram.

Some folks think he will declare but not hire an agent just yet. Get a thorough draft evaluation similar to what Tyus did last year. Some folks think he is just done at SU. He had a rough year, and consequently seemed to be in JB’s doghouse all year long. Not fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've heard he just basically hates Boeheim. He's not even listed among the top 100 prospects in the draft...I don't think he's going to learn anything at the combine that a simple google search wouldn't turn up. But I guess we'll see. I'd rather his minutes go to the younger guys anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been happening for years I think almost all of them have made the right decision for themselves, or in the one case that I thought it was a poor decision (Jerami Grant), he ended up panning out after 4+ years in the league and is now the best SU alum in the league right now. Brissett stands almost no chance of being drafted though, so if that's fine with him, it is what it is I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCOrange Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Hearing we might have one or two transfers leaving the team this offseason. Neither guy I’m hearing about would be much of a loss; would basically just give us additional scholarships to use which we need with zero seniors on next year’s team.

Jim definitely wants a longer guy at the top who can create his own shot, get to the rim or hit a 3... when I do think of a prototypical SU PG I do think of a Michael Carter Williams type... but Tyler Ennis was that cerebral PG we rarely get and he was outstanding for 1 season Jonny Flynn was a shorter guy but could do everything Tyler Ennis might be my favorite player from the last decade for that reason. True floor general, dictated the pace of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be pleasantly surprised if he turns into a player for us; big men often take longer to develop so maybe things will click into place once he's on campus. But I don't say this lightly, I've never been less impressed with a Syracuse player's high school film than I was with Edwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
