Hope so, but next year we are going to be frighteningly young, like maybe the youngest team in the country... Actually, I'm hoping we do sign a couple of 5th year seniors for next year regardless of which high schoolers we sign. Just wish they will be more like Gillon than AW3 in their recruitment...
So his Dad is Herman Harried?
Maybe. We got Gillon to commit without leaving and Moyer loves SU. But Battle, Thompson, and now White. Hopefully this doesn't happen in 2017 - we need all hands on deck.
You just have to wonder why he truly left Nebraska. Leaving a known for an unknown.
I, for one am really scared of the 2017 recruiting class, we will need so much. On the one hand, I see Calipari do it every year, but on the other hand I have to ask, do we really want to be like Calipari?
The neurosis in this thread is actually embarrassing. Can't we act like we have been here before? You guys are acting like teenage girls.
I agree with you, but I don't agree with you. As long as we are keeping it in perspective of life and having fun, I don't see it as an issue. FWIW, my wife completely agrees with you.The neurosis in this thread is actually embarrassing. Can't we act like we have been here before? You guys are acting like teenage girls.
I keep saying it's his dad, this is TT Part 2, just dad driving bus whereas TT was mom.
I don't have the time to watch that video at work, but I imagine it shows the father as involved but wanting the best situation for his son. It is never safe to presume ill intentions on the part of the parent, because, believe it or not, they just might care about their son or daughter more than we do. This isn't aimed at you RF. Sometimes the parent seems off base, but they know more about the situation than we do, and we shouldn't judge an involved parent, just because they may think another school would be a better fit for their child.

I have zero inside information, but my gut says the fact that he hasn't already announced or gone public with an announcement says there is at least SOMETHING he or his father is not 100 percent happy with at Syracuse. If this was not the case, I firmly believe no other visit would be necessary, especially since it is not free. Not saying he isn't coming, but he's looking at least one or more specifics at Miami he or dad isn't totally satisfied with at SU. Just my gut feeling/opinion. Hopefully he is just "double checking", and O13's info will become reality soon.
This young man has one year left to sell himself to the NBA. There are different schools of thought as to what is the best platform to accomplish this. Our coaches are trying to sell him on the fact that we have superior exposure and he would have plenty of minutes on a Final Four contender, and likely that we will have scouts at every game because of guys like Tyler Lydon and Tyus Battle. So, he will be seen often. Not sure what VCU's sales pitch is, big fish small pond mentality? I don't buy it. Miami has been successful lately, and are in the same league, but I don't think they provide the same stage that SU does. I, of course, am always wearing my orange colored glasses, so a anyone that can be more objective, can you debate a sales pitch for VCU, Richmond or Miami that is better than SU's? The only argument I can think of is playing time. And I think he will get plenty here.
Who do you think the better recruiter is...Larranaga or JB? Having said that, there has to be something to this visit. Otherwise, he wouldn't be visiting there.
