I hope so.  Would love to see him make a better go at the NBA than Jimmer was able to.

NBA is the toughest league in the world to make for any pro sport

 

Only 15 roster spots per team. Only 10-12 play

 

You need to not only be a tremendous basketball player but tremendous athlete and defender as well

 

JG3 is a phenomenal basketball player but his athleticism and defensive skills might not be NBA par.. tho he can still progress and he certainly can play professional basketball all over the world

 

I hope he brings another title to SU

I think that this Italy trip is going to be so important for this young team.  To get some level of cohesiveness and experience before the season is crucial.  We really need one or two of the Freshmen to become high level scorers or we are going to get dominated in some of our ACC games.

 

I also predict that losing Brissett will be addition by subtraction, didn't play well last year IMO.

Gurrier is physically super similar to Brissett but he can even shoot it better. He will be a NBA draft pick

 

Goodine had also looked good so far and will crack the rotation. He can do it all also

 

JG3 says the hoop doesn't get smaller either

I know that this is kind of stating the obvious, but JG3 is going to be absolutely adored by Cuse Fans.  I mean we are talking rolling Buddy and Gmac all in one.  I hope that he can ball out and get a great groove going from 3 point line this year.

 

More than anything for the Frosh, I just want to see them be fearless and aggressive.  I feel like the last few years our Frosh have played timid, too afraid to make mistakes and get the wrath of Jimmy.

I think that's because when Jimmy has veterans the Frosh get a short leash so they play scared

 

Brissett didn't have anybody ahead of him his Frosh year and didn't play timid

 

This can be a great Frosh class

5* PF Isiah Jackson wants an official visit this season ..

 

#1 player in Michigan, said he loved his unofficial

 

If SU lands Isiah or Andre 2020 will be a good 2 person class with Woody

I'd really like him but I don't even think SU has an open scholarship for 2020 with Woody commiting... Unless a transfer or something

 

Still sucks if true, really like the kids game

 

They would have “found room” for Andre AND Isaiah Jackson in 2020.  Waiting on word about Isaiah.

I had much more confidence in landing Andre than Isiah

 

Either way what would they do if both committed? Not let Woody sign, or force other players to leave

I could see a specific guard transferring, regardless.  I think they had 1 left for 2020.  A transfer, of course, makes 2.  I still am really optimistic about this year’s squad.  Added Goodine and JG3 to Buddy and Hughes.  Good shooting team on paper.

Freaking Kentucky ?

 

I’ll cross my fingers.  After all, this kid requested an official visit to Cuse after he had an unofficial campus visit last year.  I don’t think the coaches even thought they were in play for Isaiah 2 months ago.  Let us pray Cuse fans...

I was just going to ask you if you had any info??  It would be a real bummer to miss out on both.  We all know how this ends though, another recruit lost to UK and whatever they are going to pay him to go there

With Andre prolly going to UConn this would be huge and unexpected

 

The fact he wanted an official is HUGE... UK will sign a top 10 guy and I can see this kid coming!

 

Praying!

Andre is 99% going to UConn. Isaiah though...we'll see. I know the staff feels like they're in a good place for him. Heard his visit went very well. Like Johnny said, we thought we were out of the picture completely and then Isaiah reached out to us. Kentucky looms as a big threat as always though.

I understand that you have some connections.  I heard some pretty rotten info about Danny Hurley and the Andre Jackson recruitment.  Have you heard anything?  If true, I don’t know if it would be a recruiting violation, but still grimy as hell by Hurley.

I have no info on Isaiah at this time.  I will post if I learn anything.

Yes, but the info came from someone outside my usual network and he swore me to secrecy on it.

Some news on Isiah Jackson....

 

UK obviously the big name they are trying to recruit Isiah over...

 

They already have 4 commits for 2020 including a big time PF..  hearing that might be the difference with Isiah going elsewhere

 

Perfect fit as an SU 4

Does this hurt the chances of landing Isiah

 

No idea about Isaiah.

 

I just heard that the coaching staff had no clue he was making a decision, let alone committing to Cuse.  Completely caught the coaches off guard.  Word is they are still in it, and Richmond still wants to go to Cuse, but there may be some newly unearthed concerns about his eligibility.  I would expect a visit soon.
