Can probably fill in a little at C or SF if needed. He was the starting C for Delaware last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In outgoing transfer news, Justin Taylor committed to James Madison and Maliq Brown is visiting (gulp) Duke. Taylor to James Madison??? He should have gone to Sienna! I think Maliq had one of his best games against Duke last year. Probably left quite a good impression. It would hurt to see him there.

That could certainly fly in a mid major.. but I don't think he could play center in the ACC Edited April 16 by Buffalo716 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we'll really want to play him at C but if McCleod and Patterson end up being hurt/non-factors, Davis will probably be asked to fill in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted Monday at 02:20 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:20 PM Any chance Mintz comes back? Looking at the mocks, and I don’t see any chance of him being drafted at all. Maybe we can make it worth his while with NIL to stay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted Tuesday at 11:15 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:15 AM Wouldn't that be something. on a separate note, really jacked about this limpken(?) signing from colorado.

It would have to be our worst of the worst like Peter carey If we have recruits going to that conference then we're not recruiting good enough If we have recruits leaving... At least if they're going to duke like maliq it shows we're getting the right guys If we have a bunch of transfers going to sienna it shows that we're recruiting mid major guys lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been so much recruiting “compression” these days with the transfer portal. And highly recruited kids now don’t want to stay to develop, and then don’t develop at all, and then have to go down a level. For example, I think guys like Goodine and Braswell were well recruited by us and they ended up at some middling schools. On the flip side and maybe more likely, It wouldn’t surprise me that you could get grad transfers from a MAAC school who Syracuse would be after. Similar to a guy like Cam Spencer. Patriot league player to star player on UConn as a 24-year old grad transfer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patriot league player to star player on UConn as a 24-year old grad transfer. Goodine and braswell couldn't get a scholarship from Syracuse in 2005 That's my point... The sanctions hurt Syracuse recruiting We went from getting top 70-80 recruits... To top 300 recruits... Goodine and braswell were 4-5th options... Not number one high priority recruits Goodine should have never been in an su uniform... That's why he ended up at Fairfield I know the landscape is changing.. but Syracuse recruiting was very hampered during the sanctions... We were not getting the same type of basketball player we were getting for the last 40 years And it's going back in the right direction now.. with legitimate four and five-star recruits Goodine was basically a three-star guy which is not Syracuse caliber We get top 100 high major four-star guys Edited Wednesday at 08:13 PM by Buffalo716 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you forget the serious sanctions? We lost three scholarships a year... Which is insane in basketball Sanctions only ended in 2020... And it still takes a couple of seasons to recover Syracuse went from getting top 80 recruits, with a top 20 guy every other year To top 350 recruits... That is a massive difference The players Syracuse normally recruit didn't want to come here under sanctions... We literally have the 6th ranked player in the country coming in... The best power forward in the country...

No Top 15 picks in the 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 drafts? Forget about the top 15 of the draft - Syracuse has only had 1 player selected in the NBA draft after 2017 (Hughes in 2020). Just last season, schools like UCF, Santa Clara and Belmont had kids drafted in the first round. The year before that, Santa Clara (again), Colorado State and Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Even with any lingering effects of recruiting sanctions (which ended after the 2018-2019 season), Syracuse can't compete with the recruiting of these types of programs?

And also recruiting Some of those teams from the late 2000s early 2010s we're playing 9 10 guys... Really good guys... Boeheim could bench the entire 5 and put in a brand new five and they could ball and win We had top five pick Dion waiters on bench The sanctions put us down to six playable guys... Six talented guys We had Frank Howard and tyus battle and O'Shea brissett playing entire games There was no 7th 8th or 9th man... The depth of the team was gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
