They gotta get scholarships from somewhere. Only 1 scholarship available and Woody Newton already committed. Sure they can work around some things for 1 more but if all 3 commit there gonna have to cut bait on a roster player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some talk of Buddy Boeheim going from scholarship status to walk-on status, as that would free up another scholly and Buddy would still have 90% of his tuition covered anyway because Jim is a SU employee. That would give us one more. If no one declares for the draft after this season (and that seems to be the case...maybe Elijah Hughes ?♂️?), that will be it as far as scholarships go, but I suspect Howard Washington will transfer. Washington transferring would give us 3 total for 20-21 in that scenario. I know Syracuse is Washington’s dream school and all that, but I just don’t see how he could get playing time. We are loaded at guard, and it seems right now that he’s not even top 2 on the current PG depth chart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody says that but nobody says what they will do lol so it can't be that simple Do you move buddy off scholarship? And force a transfer? But you can't force a transfer if the kid is eligible and wants to stay, best you can do Is put him in the doghouse It's easy to say it's not a problem, but where are 2 scholarships coming from 5 minutes ago, Johnny Hammersticks said: Brissett leaving early gave them 1 for 2020 which covers Woody Newton.

DCOrange Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Johnny laid out what I would imagine is the most likely scenario, but there's other potential guys that could transfer/leave for other opportunities as well. We wouldn't be trying to bring in 3 if we weren't confident we could take 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby B was already thought of as a developmental prospect , breakthrough as a JR type guy Isiah is a 2 and done, maybe 1 and done, I really don't know if that would Force Bob to leave Carey is a sleeper imo , if he balls he will enter the draft, if he disappoints, I think he transfers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carey would be more of a shocker, but I hear he’s much improved and is looking like our starting PG. Reports about Braswell have been good this offseason, but he’s still low man on the totem pole as far as our forwards go. The coaches think he fits in at both forward positions though, which helps his cause. Of the forwards, however, he is the guy I could see transferring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His transcripts must have checked out ? Great get for ‘Cuse. Polished offensive game and versatile. Can play both G positions and also SF. Good length for the zone. Currently #95 in ESPN top 100. Should rise up the rankings by the end of his senior year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Did anyone who watched the Carleton game leave with the feeling that Jalen Carey is “our guy” at PG? Both he and Goodine seemed to have a hard time bringing the ball up against pressure. I predict JG3 gets a lot more minutes at PG than expected this season.

Carey still has the turnover bug, needs to get his handle down. JG3 looks like a stone-cold shooter that will pull minutes from the other Gaurds. He does not look like a freshman out there, and so far the moment has not been “too big” for him. he is going to be a fan favorite for sure 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCOrange Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Isaiah Jackson announcing his commitment in two weeks. I've heard mixed things on our outlook here. My understanding is that at least up until now, the staff has felt like we're in a good spot to get him, but other people have told me they're more pessimistic than the staff is.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Waiting to hear from my peeps about Isaiah. My initial impression, based on online info, is that he’s a Bama lean. But who knows? That would make a pretty sweet ‘20 class! ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
