So he could be competing with Copeland as the backup at 1 and Justin Taylor for backup at 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think he could play both guard positions and even some SF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED, plus even Autry sort of said something that confirmed he was coming back. Very weird to leave now, if this is true. Would be a real bummer.

I love Jesse, but Hunter would be an upgrade 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Jesse, but Hunter would be an upgrade 😂 I don’t think Hunter runs like Jesse And he definitely doesn’t have the blocking ability He does have a more Developed Offensive game… My friend played D1 at michigan … really likes hunter Says he runs like Frankenstein If that’s the swap I’ll take it but I don’t want to lose Jesse than lose out out Hunter Edited April 11, 2023 by Buffalo716 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Welp, looks official. Transfer portal.. and over NIL money. This seems bizarre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCOrange Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 (edited) Needless to say this is a pretty brutal loss, particularly with how much it caught our staff off guard. They believed he was returning, and by all indications, it seemed like Jesse believed Jesse was returning too. Ultimately if I had to pick one player to come back next year it would easily be Judah, but this now makes me more nervous that Judah might be gone too and if that happens, the wheels could really start to come off. Perhaps we'll aggressively pursue Dickinson now, but my hopes on that front aren't super high. I do tend to believe Jesse would likely be less valuable in Autry's system than he was in Boeheim's though. It's possible, albeit very unlikely, that this could end up being okay for us.

The Poojer Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 It's weird because I've seen comments that Edwards' visa prohibits him from receiving money from US companies, couple this with Weitsman pulling out of the NIL game thanks to the chancellor. Hopefully this gets resolved before the real damage is done, which may already be happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 So Filipowski (sure-fire first round pick and probably lottery pick) comes back to Duke, but we lose Edwards and probably Mintz. Does Syracuse ever catch a break on these close calls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 I just heard Kentucky is the favorite to land Jesse Edwards. The Syracuse “consortium” did the best they could to match (and even go beyond) what Kentucky could do in terms of NIL money, but in the end it sounds like Kentucky may end up winning out here. Again, just what I’m hearing from a source. Take it for what it’s worth. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
