Chance Westry Transferring to Syracuse

[grepal]

We have a chance to be awesome! Lets add a a mobile big who can rebound and defend the rim, score 8 to 12 agame and kick some asses. Cuse is coming back!

I’ve only watched some highlights and never seen him play live, but would KR be a fair comparison skill set wise? Big guard who can be a disruptive defender and force turnovers, handle it, pass, and get to the basket and finish - smooth but not an above the rim guy.

Accurate or nah?

More athletic than KR - more of a slasher. Dion Waiters-ish.

What position does this kid play, 1 or 2? Can he make 3 pointers

I don't understand the overlap with this having anything to do with Judah at all. I think if there is an impact it's Cope. I love what Cope can bring when he is locked in. Such a unique player. That said his defense is a question mark for sure. Pair that with, and not sure if intentional at all, Red didn't make note of him when talking about guys getting better in the off season. He noted Benny, Bell, Brown and JT but did not mention Copeland. Again probably of no consequence but to me I could see this presenting concerns from Quadirs point of view. From Judah's? Not at all between what's being said and what's been shared in Dean's pod.

Not quite the explosive athlete Dion was/is but a better passer. Don’t want to oversell lol.

I hope Copeland sticks he has a crazy amount of talent. Its raw but his skills are special

I like the fire and confidence he plays with too. Need guys like that.

Westry at Auburn looked noticeably bigger and less athletic than in this highlight. I hope he's fully healed up and in shape for next season.

He looked like a good player in his college highlight, but keeping his size and regaining his athleticism would be great.

Hot take: if Judah returns, we have the most talented backcourt in the ACC.

I don’t think it’s that hot. I think that’s a legit possibility.

 

[Niastri]

Oh I completely agree. But it’s still a crowded backcourt.

If we play with three guards most of the time, that's 120 minutes split among 5 guys. There are minutes for all five of them, especially if we press and run and gun. They'll be happy to go in and out.

All this talk about Jesse and Slater I half expect to see a Screech reference in this thread.

Is Gavin Griffiths opening his recruitment?

I’d use the word smooth to describe him. Great vid.

A couple of the plays he made defensively... salivating over. Could be a menace on opposing teams lead ball handler. Not to mention Judah is a good defender too.

The backcourt has gotten a whole lot more athletic for sure.

I se

E a lot of similarities of frosh year Cope and and frosh year Scoop. Raw, mistake prone and a couple of years of hard work away from becoming a stud. Frankly, Cope has the potential to be better. I hope he has the patience to develop. I can see him getting the keys to the Caddy after another year of experience. Hope he develops his pg skills.

Great to see us returning to having an athletic squad that can play both ends. Really need to add one of the athletic bigs we’re targeting now.

And a playet who has actually defeated Colgate!
