Not an endorsement that he scored 29 on SU. A lot of people had good games against the team’s level 5 defense.

This guy thinks we need this big stiff for our zone.

G-Mac could get someone no one else has.

Or more like it’s what ChatGPT told him when he asked it.

we've tried the super big man before and it hasn't worked.

But think of all the cats he can rescue.

The cats can't do it all themselves.

I think he will have a lot of fun and moderate success in the lower conferences, hopefully someone who will let him play zone!

I personally wish G-Mac would be all over this one. Got to watch Brandon and Fairfield play a few times this year and I think he would be a great fit for a team that is going to emphasize defensive effort, being more efficient scoring at the rim and rebounding on both sides of the game moving forward. Averaged 14 and 10, finished top 10 in the entire country in rebounds per game, and Gerry saw him in action twice this year in the MAAC. Could see him going to another northeast Power Conference school but would be a really good add for us.

Offensive BPR of 1.32 and defensive BPR of 0.10 for Brandon this year. To me he’s a heavier less athletic Sadiq in terms of role. If you bring in Folefac not sure this one makes sense.

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.

Have heard he is a headcase. Numbers aside, I think it would be in our best interest to try and find a more solid student-athlete. He can play, though.

[Orangezoo]

Yeah this is one you pony up for if he’s a fit. 3.29 offensive bpr and 3.2 defensive BPR. He would be a plug and play for Reed at UConn which is a worry but this is absolutely a kid worth paying.

Getting one of the two would be great. I personally think Benjamin's game is better but can see Gerry wanting to bring Folefac over with him and Doty.

Folefac has more potential with his perimeter shot and comes in with more experience having played in the tournament plus obviously he brings an understanding of what’s expected to play under Gerry. Not saying the Fairfield kid isn’t a solid prospect or someone who could play at this level.

Big Big Money

Yeah could see someone willing to throw 4-5 million at him if which at that point it’s not worth it anymore.

More Rockets in the portal

 

[Cuseball]

Kids from Siena are likely 3 bench pieces.

Anthony isn’t ready yet to be a starter so I could see him being a bench piece.

White is likely the only starting piece I could see staying. Freeman but I don’t think he’s staying.

George I wouldn’t want back. Kingz has no eligibility and really not case to get more, IMO.

Need a lot of help. $$$$ should be there to get it.

Doty is not a bench piece. Likely to start and will have a huge impact. Winning player who does a lot really well and makes his teammates better. We obviously need a lot more but having him in the lineup will make us a better team

Cuse!

At 6-7 and seemingly an inside player what's his position at Syracuse. He's a small PF and not a perimeter player.
