We will be fine next year, we will round out this class with two of the following: Wright, Ayala, Wilson, Duarte, Thorpe, and Marek. As long as we get two of this group we will be fine, the studs are already in the lineup Battle and TT, just need role players that will be around for awhile...

For the record, not sure how Kentucky and Duke have missed out on anything. Bamba still deciding between UK Duke, and Duval will pick Duke. Kentucky has 6 5 star rectruits (Daillo, Knox, Vanerbilt, Washington, Richards, and Green and two 4 stars Alexander and Backer. Duke has two 5 stars...

At this point if we get Thorpe or Tucker take either, first one to say yes.

1 for 1, come on Tucker make me look smart!

Did I miss something? Does Nahz Carter have an offer?

If we loose Tucker we will be fine, the staff will round out the team with a couple more pickups. Last years team is a perfect example of how expectations never lead to the end results. This is the type of team Jim B usually surprises with. Many are saying we need offense but TT and Battle...

This would be a great get. Not sure how much truth in the behavior issues, but I think the new interest should not be looked at as panic. Lydon leaving has create a void. He was going to end up at Indiana or Gtech, we are either stealing a recruit from our ACC competitor or taking advantage...

JB has always wanted to have an extremely long zone, this may not be the starting lineup but we could see a lot of it: Battle White Roberson Lydon PC

White, Lydon, or Battle coming off the bench. That is an embarrassment of riches. I think this is going to be a fun year.

I see two possible lineups Gillon White Lydon Roberson DC Battle White Lydon Roberson DC

lf JB thought he needed one more face to face, he would get on a plane, sleep on the 12 hour flight, meet them and do the same back. Been to Brazil many times, easy to use phone and computer. My guess is the kid is just enjoying his last summer of college and is waiting until the last minute...

I agree with Ithaca Matt, the lineup will be more optimized for scoring and foul shooting at the end of the game. I hope everyone is correct about Battle, I expect him to be a little better penetrator than Malachi, but not have his shot, I would have agreed he is going to start but If White...

Gillon/White/Lydon/Roberson/Coleman, only second thought is Battle, but have not seen him play against college talent yet.

I agree we are not top 10 but unless Battle really struglles, Gillon can not play ACC all, 5-8 is not feasable, 500 maybe but I even think we will be better than that. 5-8 is not a tournament team, we will make the tourney, even if the guards struggle.

Think James Southerland

Hopefully Magic Johnson is busy that day.

Imagine if White signs with MSU, we got the big that was a luxury they get the wing that is a luxury neither school got what it really needed. SU needs a shooter, MSU needs some bigs.

I hear you but against a team like Lville, Coach B would move White to SF, use Battle, Gillon, and Howard to break the press. Most teams do not press, against those teams he would go small if he had to. Length makes his zone as long as the length is active.

No matter what if White comes Coach B has rich man problems to consider.

Because of the way SU plays we do not have to have folks in your typical positions. Because we play zone as long as White is quick enough to cover the top it does not matter as he does not have to cover the other teams guard man to man. On offense we need to be able to get it up the floor if...

I would not rule out White playing SG, if really depends how quick he is on top of the Zone, big question will be if Gillon or Battle start at PG. I think this will be starting lineup. Battle/White/Lydon/Roberson/Coleman.

There is nothing on internet about Andrew White and a visit to Miami, Google last post on him was 3 days ago on the SU visit. Is their any other info out there.

I do not believe the delay has anything to do with playing time, he shot 40% from 3 at 6-7 and scored double digits in the big ten. He had potential 2nd round grade in draft. If he would struggle to get playing time Battle is going to be like Malachi, Gillon is 4 inches taller, and Frank...

Lets look at the positive side just signed a 5 star gaurd and if we loose Daigne we have an athletic second choice. Not a bad thing. Everyone should stop trashing on Chino. He came to this school when we had 13 scholarships, had nothing to do with the issues, gets good grades and with a deep...

Staff must feel he is going to be worth giving up a easy year of limiting sholarships if he counts against this year.

No because next year when he comes we could loose someone to draft or not have a scholly for a current player Obonoh or Coleman do their is no issue with Battle, to me the bigger concern is what happens this year if he enrolls is he counted and it pushes back the sholarship issue

Also I do not believe he has to go to school at SU for the year he sits, so maybe he is going to move to Syracuse and not take classes, if the scholarship counts. That would be something, I hope it is that he is not an eligible player so he does not count.

I am wondering if they only have to count active scholarship players toward the 10, if that is the case they take him on and they will loose someone else naturally or buy not offering a scholarship back. If that is the case Colman or Obokoh will leave one way or another depending on what...

We can only hope

Is everyone sure that Paschal Chuckwu would count against the 10 scholarship max. Are we sure that it is not elligible players as he will be foreced to sit out a year?

Diagne has the best chance to contribute as a Freshman, unless any of the rest are off he charts. Cooney and MG will get most of the time at SG and SF, it will be a matter of available playing time. If Chris M stays and Coleman recovers their will not be a lot of playing time to go around for...

The best part of our situation is, we are waiting on potentially one more recruit for 2015 and are looking to 2016 already. Crazy

The pull one out of the hat is good because that always seems to happen. When we say we have two centers I think some of these guys can potentially be moved to power forward so I would say yes potentially. You can not teach height especially in the 2-3 zone.

On top of that he is referred to as Kid Mamba, I do not think he lacks confidence. I think the dream would be Giles/Battle/Moyer

I hope you are correct, but look at us in 2016 probably: Buss, Joseph, Richardson, Howard, BJ, we are not that shabby either

I do not think we will get Giles and I believe in the end we will loose Battle, I think they both go to Duke, or Giles to UNC. With that said we did pull Carmelo out of MD, stranger things have happened.

You can only have 4 in the selection field, I figured at this point he has not been offered so folks would write it in.

My prediction: Moyer/Kieta/Murray

The more I think about it I think I fell in love with Jones athleticism. Recruiting class of 6-5, 6-6,6-9, 6-9, 6-10 with all positions filled, how do you loose. Still think Jones will be a start but starting to get the feeling Bryant is the guy.

Your not crazy I preferred Jones also, but for different reasons, thought he was a type of player that we do not have a skill set likes his, closest guys who could fill the slasher/scorer role would be Roberson or McC. Either way we are in great shape. Hope I am wrong but when I watch Bryant I...

Who do you think would be the better starting 5

Late June and 4 top 100 recruits locked up with no open schalarships available, don't the coaches know that this makes the recruiting website not as interesting. :-)

I do not think it is an accident that three of the few underclassmen on the team who are guards are being recruited by Arizona or Florida and are still undecided. Billy Donavan and Sean Miller are coaching the team. Antonio Blateney, Isiah Briscoa, and Alonzo Trier are being recruited by one...

The great thing about being and SU fan, and enjoying recruiting is that we will debate for then next 6 months who SU should target for a spot that is not yet open in regards to Bryant and Jones. On top of that we will start debating who we need to lock up for two years from know.

Why does everyone say we are not interested, he has an open offer and many experts have him selecting orange and have not changed their predictions?

I have not seen Richardson, did he not make the game?

Why do you say he is not in the picture, many experts have him choosing SU?

I know this will not be a popular post, but if today Daigne commits like expected, if we get Jones or Bryant what a class but still hope it is Jones. I look at the class of 2014, two 6-5 plus guards, 6-9 swing forward who can jump and shoot, and an athletic big. It would be good to have a...
