2023-24 Portal Options

[Jasoncuse]

I know we are waiting on Jesse but we need another productive guard with Symir, JG gone and Judah's return at 50/50

We need two, especially with Judah likely going to take a while to decide.

 

[longtimefan]

Correct. Simeon Wilcher comes this year.

Right you are. A decent replacement in any case.

Sorry but Shedrick is not a stud. I would call him serviceable but no more than that. He is a 10 and 6 or 7 kind of guy, ie ok but nothing special. He is quite limited offensively.

So you’re telling us he’s not Akeem?
10 & 6 is not anything to sneeze at.

Keegan Records from Colgate hit the portal today. He didn’t play huge minutes there, so maybe he’d be amenable to splitting minutes with another big at Syracuse. Plus, he could give the staff some insight on how to stop the Red Raiders.

I have insight: don’t play a 2-3 against the best shooting percentage team in America

It’s nothing to sneeze at no. But it’s not “stud” level as another poster stated and that’s what I was responding to. Personally I wouldn’t take him unless we had nowhere else to go. I’ve watched him in person the past several years at most Uva home games.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Not surprising.

Would SU try to get back in on this kid

 

[OptimusOtto]

Is Justin Moore a pipe dream? He’s not in the portal and nowhere has he been mentioned as leaving Villanova.

I believe someone with sources threw it out in the threads but it was started by buzz from a Twitter account alluding to us hiring Straughn saying he was bringing in a transfer from his Team Takeover AAU days and then Andrew Slater tweeted about us being in good shape with a “quality big east guard.”

People were connecting the dots and he seemed to fit all the boxes.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Sounds like someone Pitino will get to come back home.

Someone did post an article recently which said Moore was “50-50” about coming back to Nova

 

[orangejunkie]

It's gotta be difficult recruiting a guard at this point with Judah's questionable status. I assume it will be weeks before he can make an informed decision on NBA vs. returning to the hill.

 

[Cusefan0307]

UNC fans on twitter think they are getting Moore as well.

Yea just read something that they are getting involved. This is all so funny considering he's not even in the portal but I guess this is how this goes down now. Wild west out there! Will be even funnier if he decides to stay put.

To hell with UNC.

Worth noting Bacot is also from TTO, playing together again will be a strong pitch - time will tell which relationship holds Moore weight there

Yeah Love transferring, and Bacot staying, might make UNC appealing for Moore. I still don't understand why Nova fans are the only ones not talking about Moore possibly leaving. Hope it's true.

Carolina just brought in the 6-5 kid from Brown too. They will be coming in with Wilcher, Davis, the Brown kid..

Why would we want a guy who can't crack the regular rotation at Colgate?

They did beat Cuse the last 2 years ,

New strategy to beat Colgate. Recruit all their players. We won't beat anyone in the ACC, but we won't lose a third game in a row to Colgate. If ya can't beat 'em, join 'em.

Keegan was the Second leading scorer and leading rebounder, he played 25 mins a game but shared some minutes with that Woodward kid. He runs the floor really well for a 6'10 bulky guy.

Slick is going to have St. John's in the Sweet 16 next season. He's got serious backing and legacy and he knows how to get and employ talent.

 

[orangejunkie]

Interesting, this is a crazy time of year with recruiting and transfer news breaking on the hour. Drew Fielder would be a nice pick up but as with the Justin Moore situation, with the schools involved it is very much up for grabs.

 

[Scott11]

Red is working nonstop. Great to see us get involved here. Have to view Georgetown as the favorited since he went with Cooley before and Georgetown is a better option than Providence and he just visited there.
this kid immediately would be best big on our team other than Jesse. He is legit.
