Alan Griffin transfers to Syracuse.

[Ggaenzle]

Interesting he pointed out he wants to model game after Westbrook I wonder if coaches want him to bring it up the court every once in a while like Elijah did

 

[Orangefan1]

Hopefully it means Braswell will get a lot of minutes this year

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Hopefully it means Braswell will get a lot of minutes this year

I hope he’s ready physically

 

[Cusesky8214]

Griffin will get the waiver (I say this with very little confidence because the ncaa sucks) but this one might work out for us.

 

[Briancuse]

No offense to bras but we're In trouble if we are counting on him giving us big time minutes next year.

 

[Orangefan1]

Look of the staff knew the possibility was high that griffin wasn’t going to be able to play this year and felt uncomfortable about it they should of got another recruit for that position. We will see what happens

I think they took him thinking he was going to get a waiver to play this year.

 

[orangefog]

Guessing Qunicy, Marek and Sidibe start in the front court.

And Marek puts up a thousand threes every day over the summer.

 

[Newhouser]

so the NCAA looks like they won't approve the immediate transfer rule does that mean he sits?

 

[Cusefan0307]

I'll gladly wager anyone who doesn't think he will be eligible.

If he gets a waiver for moving closer to "home" then he plays. Otherwise, he sits.

He's a Toronto kid, right? (Meant for all, not you newhouser) Seems like Buffalo would be actually close to home.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Olivier Sarr wants a waiver because Danny Manning got fired and he doesn't like the new coach.

Just wait: he'll get his, and we'll get screwed.

 

[orangejunkie]

Griffen is from down state, several hundred miles from SU. Not sure what the basis would be for a waiver.

 

[orangejunkie]

I'm hoping we get the 2020 recruit that de-committed from Wake Forest. He looks like a better prospect than Braswell and would provide some much needed depth at that position.

No. White Plains. His dad is an assistant with the Raptors.

How many miles was he from Champaign, Illinois?

 

[UpstateSM]

I'll gladly wager anyone who doesn't think he will be eligible.

Agreed. I'm not sure we would have been after him or he would have came here if the staff wasn't pretty damn sure he was going to eligible

 

[Cusefan0307]

Agreed. I'm not sure we would have been after him or he would have came here if the staff wasn't pretty damn sure he was going to eligible

Also "Board of directors recommends against waiver for all", but they are still having the vote. The NCAA needs all the PR they can get right now. If they are still voting it would be smart to approve it.

I make that drive regularly. It's a 3.5 hours. Its 13.5 to Champaign.

For sure. From everything I've read 99.9% of coaches have been operating as if it was going to pass and be implemented this season. Even if its denied I think waivers are going to be handed out like candy

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Interesting. His parents together? Like is mom in White Plains while dad is in Toronto?

and of course, you may not actually know that info, so feel free to not answer.

There's likely a lot of lobbying going on behind the scenes and that is probably why the news seems to change every few days. Someone is definitely in Goodman's ear about this.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Well, I think you say he doesn't want to play in NYC due to the Covid19

 

[DilemaCuse]

I tried telling people on here that assumed it was a slam dunk that the rule was changing and I kept saying you can't count on the NCAA, they are too unpredictable. The remaining 2 scholarships if used must be on someone who 100% will be eligible, either HS, JUCO, or Grad Transfer.

Justin Fields went from GA to OSU and got a waiver. he lives about an hour 20 min from UGA.
