Class of 2026 2025-26 Portal

[Blanko97]

A name to watch out for here is a familiar one.

Chance Westry

I believe he was recruited hard by GMac out of HS and largely transferred to SU because of Gerry.

He had a really good sophomore year at UAB and 2 years of eligibility left. If he enters the portal, I suspect we would be in play for him.

Passssss unless he wants to come for a couple hundred grand

Not a good shooter and plays no defense. Very good penetrator and playmaker. I think the chances of him coming back are almost nil. I would definitely pass on him. Injury concerns too.

If we want to create the worst shooting team in the ACC we should try it.

He is a PG. it would be great to have all our starters average 45% from 3 but that is not happening.

He averaged 15.5 ppg, 5.5 apg and 1.9 tpg. He was considered a great defensive player in HS and his defensive numbers at UAB were good.

He is not in the portal so for now, this is just theoretical, but I think he would be one of the best PGs in the ACC. He would be a huge upgrade over George imho.

Where are you getting this plays no defense from?

Why won’t it happen?

[sufan59]

Oh great, so basically say Syracuse spent 8 million last season. The 8 million last season is 10.8 million this upcoming season to maintain the same positioning in the market. So you need to get to more like 14 million in rev share/NIL or so to really change the current positioning all the talking heads are saying is not good enough.

Bringing Westry back wouldn't be the worst plan.

Lateral move from George to Westry, perhaps a slight upgrade is Westry scoring.

We can do better.

We have more than that. The complaints about money need to stop.

he's not that bad. shot 49%. an efg% of 52% with 57% on 2's. gets to the line a lot too. what he cant do is shoot 3's. only 24%.

if Doty and Kiyan are the wings I think we need to go another direction. We have had a problem not balancing the roster. It’s all shooting and no athleticism or no shooting and all athleticism. We need to meet in the middle somewhere.

 

[im4cuse]

In his last game: 15 assists and 2 TO.

Not how that works lol

Other variables to that, but yeah generally according to Evan Miya they expect a 35% increase in market value.

We had a good amount of NIL last season and will have even more this year. I trust Gerry for now, so I don’t see any reason to panic just yet.

i think chance would play some pg. he did at uab. averaged almost 7apg and had double digit assists their last 3 games.

Chance Westry is in the mix for us again?

Not a good combination with Kiyan or Doty.

I understand that. I’d be concerned with he, Doty and Anthony on the perimeter. We need shooting somewhere. There’s better options.
