Class of 2023 C William Patterson (NY) COMMITTED/SIGNED TO SYRACUSE (2/20/23)

[Millhouse]

That is just unbelievable. Most embarrassing and inappropriate tweet from a journalist I’ve ever seen in my entire life. And the media wonders why it has a bad reputation these days. You can’t paint them all with one brush, but the outliers are becoming more and more prolific.

Newhouse... Some good people went there but they always end getting jobs doing something else

I love clown, it’s been a go to for years, the best thread title in the history of this site has clown in it (off topic). Giggle every time I see it.

Trash bag is one I love to use as well.

 

[Oakland]

We always have a center project taking a spot. lmao It's a norm

And so few of them work out.

 

[grepal]

And so few of them work out.

It's normal for a lot of teams. "There is no shame being that awkward 7 footer from Lithuania waving his towel around".

 

[SWC75]

He looks like a 7-2 basketball player, not a 7-2 guy trying to play basketball.

 

[Niastri]

He looks like a 7-2 basketball player, not a 7-2 guy trying to play basketball.

I agree. He's far from a finished product, but he didn't look like a guy being recruited just because he's tall.

A year behind Edwards, Hima and Carey should be good for him.

 

[Wrinkle]

Definitely raw as hell but I have no problem with him

 

[AngryOtto]

If Jesse comes back with Hima and Carey I hope the staff redshirts him. No reason to burn a year of eligibility for a handful of minutes in blow out games. Let him acclimate to college and build strength.

Always?​

I can't find anything on Patterson as far as stats/info from HS or AAU? Can anyone link some info? I can't even find him on his HS roster lol

 

[CousCuse]

Just start Patterson and have Hima, Carey and Brown play the 5 when necessary. He's at least as good as Clingan.

At least as good as Clingan?

Like Carey is, at least as good, as Filipowski?

Clearly.

You just gave me a good laugh. Patterson has the Potential...but he needs serious coaching.

 

[CousCuse]

IMO. Probably more athletic. Patterson isn't some Euro or African guy that hasn't played much basketball against real competition. If Red goes with him, I'm onboard.

Give him the start with the quick hook, that can accelerate development.

 

[orangefog]

I respectfully disagree. I don't believe Patterson even started for his high school, I may be wrong. I just don't think he is an immediate impact player.

I don't mind this signing. His highlights show that he at least knows what he's doing, which is way better
than some of the stiffs this program has signed to be a PF/C. My only real concern is, the staff hasn't
really shown much ability to take anyone in the 6'9+ 200/210ish range and by the time he leaves, have
him up to 225 or 230. I go back as far as Wendell Alexis and wished he could've added more than a
Snickers bar, and the S&C guys haven't succeeded much since then, aside from a limited few. They get him
substantially heavier, and it's good, else he's just going to get beaten up in the post.

Yeah, when I try to think of Cuse bigs who came in kinda skinny, and put on legit muscle/weight over their Cuse careers, I can really only think of:

DC, and Rak.

Both of those dudes put on 20+ lbs of solid muscle.

I mean, I'm sure there've been others, but those are the only 2 that I can come up with offhand.

Etan came in pretty solid. So did Rony.
Same with Otis Hill.
Fab, RickJack, AO, DaJuan, etc. were all horses when they arrived.

I feel like this discussion is all relative. A lot of skinny bigs that come in just aren’t genetically predisposed to put on muscle. They aren’t going to go from scrawny beanpoles to a ripped Adonis. A guy like Jesse clearly put on solid muscle from his freshman to senior years, but it’s a lot more subtle than what people might have in their heads.

There you are playing your games again blowing a player up unrealisitically so others will look like they are trashing him by being more realisitic. I've caught you doing that before. Don't you have anything better to do?

If only this was satire

Convinced more than ever that CousCuse is a UConn fan.
