2023-24 Portal Options

My son is a Temple grad and follows the program closely. He says Syracuse is one of the teams to reach out.

The source told The Inquirer that Hicks has interest from various Power Five schools with bigger NIL collectives than Temple.

Pitino and Cooley already in our shizznit !

We really should wait for the individual to hit the portal first but yes, his name has been mentioned the most in the last few pages who they are referring to

That takes all the fun out of it though.

Heard Hicks is a real possibility if we want him.

I’m glad they’re doing due diligence. Don’t settle. Hicks might be very good, but do your homework.

Unless coaches know that we're losing one of our young forwards, I'm confused why SU would prioritize a wing at this point. Hicks doesn't look like he is much of an upgrade over our current forwards.

Tell me how he doesn’t look like an upgrade from our current forwards? He scores more, rebounds more, and shoots better lol

Moore sat out Nova NIT game to get ready for pro ball. Not sure why the chatter that he would enter the portal and go to SU? Think he is a great player, G-League, fringe NBA. Maybe we are buying him with NIL money?

Red's job is to improve the roster. If that means recruiting over incumbents that came in before he was named HC, so be it.

Sitting out the NIT for the pros was all propaganda. Coming off the injury he is coming off, he needs to go back to school and have a big year to even be considered for the draft.

If he did go pro, he'd be G-League or Europe bound. And then the grind begins.

So he did a propaganda stunt? Why isnt he in the portal? Something does not add up here. Agree he is not a draft pick but why would he leave NOVA and sit out NIT game?

yeah, he does. The 5 rebounds a game alone does that. Plus, he is a fine shooter.

The fact that he’s on the radar of the NBA says he can shoot the ball.

Maybe we have a bigger fish to reel in.

Hope so. The staff is incredibly tight lipped about this stuff right now. I mean, Los Alamos type of quiet. I have to give it to them. Having said that, I think we have a chance to be really good next year. I hope we don't over shoot and get stuck holding the bag. We have done that in the past.

Hicks' tape seems like he is what we hope Christopher Bell will be in a year or two.

Weight room, defensive effort and getting on the boards
