Syracuse Basketball 2023-24


Buffalo716

Recommended Posts

I’m heard today that Andre Jackson (2020 SF) does not plan on taking his 5th and final official visit unless he receives a huge power 5 offer soon.  Could a decision be coming soon?

 

I was told that Syracuse is the overwhelming favorite with UCLA and UCONN playing catch-up.  Nothing incredibly earth shattering here except that the coaching staff is recruiting him to play SF....not SG.

 

FWIW....

Both are wing positions in Boeheims offense so no big deal. He is a real rim rocker

I believe that was more of an indication of AJ’s lack of a jumper, but yeah.  He’s more of a slasher and finisher.

Modern basketball is changing. Most skilled small forwards can really shoot the 3. Quincey G coming in is a DEADLY shooter

 

Boeheim used his 2 and 3 at the "wing" mostly. So they need to be able to keep you honest from 3 while giving you the ability to put it on the deck

 

AJ definitely doesn't have the purest stroke rn but he can definitely put it on the deck and attack

Plus, Andre Jackson will be a 5️ If/when he commits.  I think he’s ranked 40-45 right now, but he’ll move up.  

Services have him all over the board. 

 

Top 30 get a 5*

 

ESPN has him like 46 and a chance to rise

 

247 has him 102 

 

While 247 composite has him 67

He’s had a really good summer.  Has improved his jumper.  As much as this terrifies me, I wouldn’t be surprised if a big offer came in soon.

I think it depends what you call a big offer. UCLA is a blue blood and certainly still an attractive school

 

If you mean a Duke or Kansas or UK, it may , but I don't think he fits the mold of what they do

 

He screams SU wing

  • Awesome! (+1) 1

I haven’t looked him up, and have ZERO idea who we are even talking about, but ESPN college hoops recruiting should be shut down as fake news. They are worthless, on a good day.

Andre Jackson . One of the top players in NY class of 20

 

Supreme athlete and slasher

I don’t doubt it at all, my point was I just don’t trust ESPN hoops recruiting news. Hot garbage.

It is my understanding that there is currently 1 scholly left for 2020, and they are pursuing a big man for that class.  

 

Noah Collier is more of a PF at 6’7”, but I think the staff feels that he will grow 2-3” before he graduates.  They are recruiting him hard right now.  

 

They have offered Hunter Dickinson, but he since has received some “big” offers and seems to a Duke lean right now based on his comments.

 

There also is Isaiah Jackson who is another guy who is a C/PF guy, but he seems to be a slam dunk for Sparty.

 

Ideally, adding Andre Jackson and Noah Collier to the ‘20 class would be tremendous.

Those 2 would be huge

 

Ideally would land a talented big man

 

As you said don't think dickenson is coming who is a 5* I believe

Boeheims Army is looking to capture it's first ever The Basketball Tournament title and take home it's 2,000,000 prize

 

The roster is LOADED this year with sharp shooters Andrew White , John Gillon and Silent G

 

Eric D and former NBA baller Jordan Crawford

 

Arinze Onawaku , Hakim Warrick!

 

Loaded

They are lucky they escaped with a win. Crawford was hot garbage until late when he finally stepped up. He was a sloppy turnover machine for the entirety of the first half.

 

They need to play man to man. The zone was just not working for them, especially when Crawford was on the floor.
