Class of 2020 C Frank Anselem (GA) COMMITTED/SIGNED TO SYRACUSE

[Zelda Zonk]

I mean, I used an exclamation point. Do you need the sarcasm font as well?

Yeah, that looked pretty jokey to me, too.

Say we're playing at Duke. Sidibe picks up two fouls in two minutes (one for breathing on Tape, the other after taking an elbow to the face from Tape). Anselem comes in and picks up two fouls in ten minutes. JBA comes in and sprains his ankle. Dolezaj is forced to play center for the first time all season...and he already has two fouls.

Would be nice to have Edwards in the mix, no?

I can’t predict the future but JB never had 3 centers in rotation before and we managed just fine

 

[Dinkyspond]

Say goodbye to the Bumbling Bourama past, and welcome the Bol Ajak/Ansalem future

let'em all play, that's 20 fouls. the ones who play best get the minutes, I like the competition, brings out the best, separates wheat from the chaff

 

[Ldavid]

Maybe i'm missing something. Which video convinces you that he's "much more talented?" Sincere/respectful question. I'm going back and watching stuff, but not yet seeing it. He seems like a young, raw Terrence Roberts, and again we have a guy who didn't start on his HS team (recognizing he was a 'Junior,' but still). I didn't see him doing much in the Huntington Prep game, and the few highlight videos only show him dunking.

I like his motor and the aggression in his game. Plus he seems very confident on what he can bring to the table. Kentucky and Kansas wanted him. That’s enough for me. Plus JB really wanted him. Edwards is going to be a great depth piece

That's quite a scenario you put out for one game. Someone is more than likely going to red shirt and jba just did.

So funny the kid literally admits he’s not going to play his first year like I’ve been saying for the entire week leading up to this and everyone thought he would have this huge impact. I guess you guys, especially a certain few, should “trust me” like I said because it’s not an opinion... happy SU got him and love his potential but can’t wait til this thread gets locked

No need to lock it. Frank committed. This is the place to talk about a recruit until he steps on campus.

Still not sure why the Alan Griffin one was locked and then moved to the basketball board. Majority of the time, we keep recruiting threads open and ongoing until they report to campus.

 

[UpstateSM]

That would be weird. A guy who was expected to still be in high school, forcing a college sophomore to a non-roster spot? I don't think Edwards is that far away and he needs to be playing in 20-21.

I think we could better use Frank’s defense coming off the bench complementing Bo’s minutes than Jesse’s offense.

 

[orangezen]

Yeah, we need all the backup centers available to ensure Dolezaj plays the 4 exclusively.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Letttttts goooooooook

That's racist.

 

[Dinkyspond]

not

the goat

not getting 11. Joe G is 11 unless Joe said he'd change his number

 

[jordville]

JB, Otto, Frank, script and Orangemen...

Think he wants #5 though which is available again...

 

[Day2]

I can’t predict the future but JB never had 3 centers in rotation before and we managed just fine

Really? I was at a game where Donovan McNabb played center...and that was a team with three centers in the rotation.

 

[baggerbob]

New Mexico only has 1 Center? According to their roster, they have a 6'9 BF, a 6'9 guard (yes guard), 7' juco commit and another 6'9 center commit for 2020.

just watched the Syracuse-Notre Dame game where Syracuse used press and man to man to come back and win. Another game where McNeal made the defense better in the comeback. Jim has some options for next year.

Crap I forgot that was on today.

 

[Orijinal]

Syracuse is gonna use all 4 centers. It gives them 20 fouls a game. That's rim protection

If your example is from over two decades ago the other person probably has a pretty solid argument haha

 

[Wrinkle]

What an unnecessarily moronic post. Really? We just take shots at our players, just because? SMDH

Oh yeah, how terrible of me

 

[Wrinkle]

Unbelievable.

You're right -- unforgivable

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Anyway, glad to see this. Frankie's a really nice late pull. He's going to help us be better at basketball.

 

[syrBossHogg]

Great pickup, really interested to see how the 4/5 minutes get sorted out

 

[Nicknack]

i think overall the four we are bringing in are better than the four leaving (other than Eli).

I know I've been drinking again, but doesn't that make three?

 

[Gabjon]

Kudos to the coaching staff! We seriously upgraded our roster while losing our best player! That is not easy to do. Anselem+Newton+Richmond+Griffin>Hughes+Washington+Carey+Goodine. I see 22+ wins next year!

 

[Day2]

Or I could bring up examples from last year where we could have used another center.

Not someone. Edwards is the only option. It’s a possibility, but more likely he plays.
