Where does Davis slot? Can he play PF? 

 

Benny Williams to UCF

Davis is mostly PF. Can probably fill in a little at C or SF if needed. He was the starting C for Delaware last year.

Jyare Davis to Syracuse is official. Gotta think Dakota Leffew will follow soon.

 

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.

Yeah but in a smaller league right? He's 6'7..

 

That could certainly fly in a mid major.. but I don't think he could play center in the ACC

Certainly a smaller league, but he's basically the same size as Maliq Brown and probably a little stronger. 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.

Wouldn't that be something.  on a separate note, really jacked about this limpken(?) signing from colorado.  Not the typical Syracuse bean pole center.  gonna be a nice addition.

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?

Donnie Freeman finishes at number 6 in the ESPN 300 

 

******* Stud! And Elijah moore is one of the best shooters in the class 

 

Lumpkin at center with 7 footers backing him up... We got by a lot of accounts now... One of The best high school power forwards in the country

Wow—Onuwaku, Hart, and Blackwell!  That is awesome that he is getting all these Cuse alumni! 

 

I bet we will see Syracuse players looking for more PT transferring to Siena (maybe vice versa too)— a mini-pipeline!

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

I don’t know. 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.

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

Landed the Hofstra guard, Carlos. Seems like a good get.

a buddy of mine said he heard some insider rumor that Leffew will pick us too. Not sure how accurate that is, but thought I would mention it. 

Leffew to his hometown school: Georgia.
