Thank you, the next few weeks should be fun for the open evaluation period.

Gbinije, wow types of highlights. Kid looked silky smooth inside & out. Showed a little bit of seeing the floor in transition & also the ability to take contact & finish. He would be a great get.

Nope, but SU is sitting in a good position right now. We'll see how it plays out moving along.

I think Wainright is an interesting player. He's kind of similar to Paul Harris in that do-it-all mode. He's not really a SG because his range isn't that great, but he might not be tall enough as a wing for the SU zone. What makes him intriguing is that he's very strong, can handle the rock like a point, and just find ways to get things done. I can't wait to get some official measurements on some of these guys lol.

Gbinjie didn't get but 5.8 minutes a game, but while he was in the game he shot very well. He shot 55% from the field; 40% from 3-pt range and was also 7 for 7 from the FT line on the year. IMO he would do great in Syracuse's system. Lets hope Coach K doesn't put the block on SU. In everything I am reading we have a great chance if K doesn't block.

mg's minutes distribution likely points to his role as much more of a guard than a forward. duke was not as deep at forward( plumlees, kelly) but they were guard heavy with rivers,curry,dawkins, thornton, cook. mg probably would have been a good rs candidate much like cooney for us. it would be a great get and a kid who is much better than his freshmen numbers. most important of all is that he is a guy who seems to relish contact which is a recurring theme with our guards and a successful one at that.

I've heard mixed things about Iverson; he refuses to play D or rebound and is very me-first at this point; but on the other hand you gotta love the upside of a 6'8 F who can handle the rock like a G and score. I would think if he came here he could very well get PT at the 2 depending on who's around, which would be amazing.

Francis, my question to you. I was impressed with that tape. You indicate that he is a guard and he does appear to have great size and skills for that position. However, Cooney would be just one year ahead of him and they play the same position. Do you think they are looking at him as a SF candidate?

Gbinjie is the tallest guy on the court for that entire highlight video it appears. Great size at 6'6 for a college 2G. Him at MCW at the top of the zone spells trouble for the opposing offense.

Where do you think we stand with Notice? I've been intrigued with him since when I first heard about him a few years ago...

I seriously thought I was the only one who was wondering what was up with D. Notice.
It felt somewhat as if he disappeared off the planet.
Not sure if Jimmy B. offers another 6' 6" swingman if Duke transfer, Gbinije, comes our way... but glad to know 'Cuse will get ample opportunity to evaluate him while he teams with Ennis.

It's difficult to believe that Coach K is going to block. He and JB know each other very well. I don't think JB would be wasting his time recruiting Gbinjie if he thought that K would block him from coming to Syracuse.

I really want Gbinjie after that tape. Looks like a monster in transition, good size for the zone, and can shoot better than I thought.

I agree BK. I was drooling over the highlights. Kid is very smoothe. I really like he has that pull up, fadeaway mid range jumper. That is something Dion had this year that was a really big asset. Its also something I hope MCW can develop to keep defenses honest once he steps into the lane. I also hope Triche continues to become a force getting into the lane with that pull up jumper. Its uncanny how many of those he makes as that is such a tough shot.

If this kid is such a monster, why couldn't he get on the court at Duke?
