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

[Niastri]

Options. How many choices do you think they had at the 5? I could have asked Gisele to my prom, but she wasn't going to go with me, ya know?

You take who you can get.

Hopefully this helps Bell and Freeman. I don't think it will that much, but I'm not the coach.

Lampkin's block % and steal % are minuscule. His defensive metrics are not good for where he plays.

I can't imagine anyone seeing his stats from last year and actually thinking this guy was going to do something on defense for us. So it has to be all offense. But a big at that size with a PER under 20 isn't a guy you build around (it's 16.1!!!!).

So, why'd they get him? You take the date that says yes, that's why.

I think you're dead wrong. They had him locked up before the Elite Eight. Since Lampkin committed a dozen high level centers have entered the portal.

I think Red really liked something Lampkin does and got their man.

You don't run out and hire the candidate you are indifferent toward. You wait and keep them on a string until you don't get the guy you want.

Like my son ordering General Tso's chicken at a Chinese restaurant, Red didn't even look at the full menu... He knew he wanted the chicken.

EDIT: Yes, I called Lampkin a chicken

I think the hope is Lampkin can get the rebound and make the outlet pass. No doubt he won't be winning many foot races but if our C is the first guy down the floor we've probably got other issues going on lol.

Having said that, I have many fond memories of Fab Melo out running centers down the floor for easy buckets.

And hustling to get in position to take a charge. He was a maestro at that. Never saw a 7-footer who could draw a charge like guard.

Lampkin is going to have Onuaku syndrome where guys are going to bounce off him and all of a sudden there’s a whistle…just because.

The roster lacked an interior scoring threat (fatal flaw) and a big body who could defend the post. Maliq was a uniquely skilled player, but he was neither of those things. This was not a Lampkin for Maliq trade. It was an attempt to address a deficiency.

He just got to Syracuse for his visit

That’s exactly how I viewed it. We needed an interior/post scoring threat. Lampkin is a big kid, so you figure he can only play like 25mpg and stay fresh (AO logged similar minutes). That’s why I thought Maliq would return to play 15 mpg at center and 15 mpg at PF (with Donnie at 25 mpg at PF).

The hand wringing over the last few roster and coaching additions is absolutely wild and I’m here for all of it.

This guy is a depth piece. He’s great for that role.

You never know about Giselle, you miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take.

Having both of our coaches speaking to them is a good sign.

 

[Orangefan1]

There’s no doubt he will be an excellent head coach anyone in life that is that driven and determined cannot fail

 

[SuFTW]

So far so good. Sometimes you can just tell.

*Can he recruit two sports?

Everyone's job is recruiting.

So is there any relevance to the quantity? Davis, Leffew and who?

I've been trying to figure that out, but who knows what his reasoning was? Could be specific (like Dino's oranges were), or he could just be throwing oranges out there for emphasis.

I go either way, depending on the minute.

It’s hilarious we have to decipher athletes cryptic tweets but it’s modern day reality.

Essentially it means we added a dude, could be two dudes, could be three. Could be Eddie lampkin is one of them and Davis and leffew the others. Overall we landed minimum one dude who’s visited this weekend.

I can’t believe I just typed that and have confidence behind what I said lol
