My understanding is that it was a bidding war until the Syracuse group backed out when it got crazy. I know the exact rumored figure, but I’m reluctant to say at this point.

This person has been wrong before, but more often right than wrong. But if it played out as this person said it did, I feel like I can’t help but to lose a little respect for Jesse (or at least the family member negotiating on his behalf). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I know I shouldn’t gripe about other teams, but guys like Filipowski and now Donovan Clingan (who very well could have been an orangeman) are coming back to college, despite being likely first rounders. But we have to worry about Mintz going pro? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Well, it appears that some other elite programs were able to outbid PayCal’s billionaires. Good for Jesse. Can’t knock the hustle. He’ll be an interesting prospect to follow and root for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Sounds like Hunter Dickinson (as expected) is pretty much out of the question. Hoping Judah returns and we land Chance Westry and Moussa Cisse. Then I’ll start to feel optimistic about next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely to want to come back to when you can play for a contender vs returning to play for a team that might not make the tournament. 1 hour ago, Miyagi-Do Karate said: So WVU has more NIL money than Syracuse? I have no idea if WV has more to offer than we do, but if it is, it’s not by much. I know for sure we’re somewhere around the top 20 in the country in terms of NIL money. We simply didn’t want to pay Jesse what WV is offering to pay. I imagine nearly half our budget is earmarked for Judah right now and from what I’ve heard we offered Edwards, I think even paying what we offered would have been a mistake.

He’s a combo guard with good size at 6’6 so he should be fighting for minutes at the guard spots … a good passer … devolving shooter could play some 3 Edited April 18, 2023 by Buffalo716 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCOrange Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 I wouldn’t be surprised if Chance ends up being our starting SF next year (or starting SG if Judah leaves). I also won’t say I expect it to happen but I think there’s a non-zero chance that someone like Copeland could potentially transfer out still. Not really scared that it’ll happen but if it did, I’d get it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Autry says he wants to add another guard and center to the ‘23 roster. This comment came after the Westry commit. I know they’ve offered Moussa Cisse who could potentially be granted a waiver and play in ‘23, but he has a lot of interest from other P5 teams. I wonder which guard he has in mind 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was thinking. I'm a Buffalonian and UCLA alum. I had buddies in my fraternity that were Winter admissions. My recollection is that they had to take classes through the Extension program for that Fall quarter and then immediately matriculated into the 4 year program starting in January. I believe they had housing in the dorms as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't really light it up this first weekend of EYBL games, but made the All-Defense team and was still pretty solid. He and Jahlil Bethea seem to be the two best 2024 guys that we're going after. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
