    Class of 2021 PG Jaquan Carlos (NY) TRANSFERING TO SYRACUSE (4/24/24)

    This would have to be the sales pitch. You'll have the ball in your hands sometimes but can slide to 1-3 depending on the opponent and situation to get your minutes.

    Would we take both? Seems unlikely that both would come.

    Class of 2019 PG Dakota Leffew (GA) TRANSFERRING (SOON) TO SYRACUSE (4/24/24)

    I really like his release and his passing showcases nice vision. Handle looks solid but tough to tell against lower competition.

    Class of 2019 PG Dakota Leffew (GA) TRANSFERRING (SOON) TO SYRACUSE (4/24/24)

    There is no way in hell that all of our eggs are in the Leffew basket. Red has contingency plans. To assume that he doesn’t is insulting. Now we may not like them because of our budget restrictions but to think the staff is just praying for Leffew and not talking to other guys in the...

    This one feels so much more like a high school recruitment than a portal recruitment.

    We are all dedicated Syracuse fans. Have you ever been called

    You post on this board every day. You care about the program. The program needs small donors. I don’t get this attitude.

    I was contacted by Orange United after I donated but not before. We need to get proactive and organized with this thing because it’s clear we are getting left behind on the basketball side. Get both programs a GM now.

    This is a shocking indictment of our NIL. We are offering a starting PG role and have lost more salary from last year than we’ve added (I have to assume).

    Class of 2019 PG Dakota Leffew (GA) TRANSFERRING (SOON) TO SYRACUSE (4/24/24)

    Of course it is, but posting another round of the same pics from previous visits is just a pure publicity play. We've already seen the first round of photos when the visits were happening, does he think it might raise his price by juicing up the fanbases? It's not a big deal at all just a weird...

    Class of 2019 PG Dakota Leffew (GA) TRANSFERRING (SOON) TO SYRACUSE (4/24/24)

    Being a PG doesn’t mean you never score - it’s a mindset thing. Are you a willing distributor, do you make good decisions about when to push and when to slow things down, do you get it to the right guys in the right spots, do you have the court vision - Billy had all of these things spades, and...

    None of that means they have more NIL than us.

    Class of 2020 F Jyare Davis (DE) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (4/15/24)

    I agree with a lot of what you’re saying, and I think for us he becomes more of a glue guy than a go-to guy like at Delaware. Where he can help us is hitting open mid range jumpers, grabbing rebounds, defending wings and doing dirty work in the paint. If we throw him the ball and ask him to...

    Class of 2020 F Jyare Davis (DE) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (4/15/24)

    Absolutely perfect reserve forward for this team. I expect him to play close to starters minutes.

    Class of 2019 PG Dakota Leffew (GA) TRANSFERRING (SOON) TO SYRACUSE (4/24/24)

    That characterization is unfair. The buck stopped with JB and we’ve heard about some jaw-dropping decisions he made in the past 5 years where he overruled assistants.

    Class of 2019 PG Dakota Leffew (GA) TRANSFERRING (SOON) TO SYRACUSE (4/24/24)

    I don't disagree with your takes but you keep on piling the historical mediocrity of the previous regime onto Red. He's being tasked with turning over a bad roster and also by all accounts building a modern NIL engine that JB didn't understand. I agree with you that in the era of NIL and portal...

    If the pieces fit better they are greater than the sum of their parts. Guys in the right spots with more complementary skill sets + a McDonalds AA and an actual center gives this team higher upside IMHO.

    I like how far you took the analogy.

    Yea, I believe in Red but this doesn't seem like the time to put all of our eggs in the Tyler Jackson basket. I just don't understand how we can't package Judah's salary with whatever remaining NIL we have left and make a big play for Mack at the only starting spot we need serious help at.

    This is quite an accusation. They may get it wrong - talent evaluation is tough - but they aren’t just looking at box scores, c’mon.

    If you read the write up it’s like they didn’t know we lost the entire team to the portal.

    I agree on the pass first, but I do like the size and shooting that Leffew would provide. Having another serious 3 pt weapon would be huge.

    Good to hear. In these highlights he’s taking (and making) a lot of tough shots. Hopefully next year Red can coach him to find that balance you mention.

    Class of 2024 PF Donnie Freeman (MD / IMG) COMMITTED & SIGNED TO SYRACUSE (5/11/23)

    I love that he's developing his outside shot but I'd like to see more activity around the rim. Again I'm going by a few highlights but I don't want him taking tough turnaround jumpers next year, I want him attacking and mixing it up in the paint a bit more.

    I know guys include everyone on these lists but that's a lot of high-level interest. Much like recruiting I'm going to trust that over amateur scouts on YouTube.

    Who wants to chip in for the Kadary Richmond NIL Syracuse collective?

    Did Red recruit him initially? Is there any chance? I feel like he would be the perfect fit.
