Class of 2016 Andrew White III thread - COMMITTED

[RandygoCuse]

I just wanna say that I'm glad my school has an ez emoji choice. Not all programs are so lucky

 

[Orangeman13]

This gear wasn't given to him by mannys last night.

He committed a while back. He is no primadonna!

He's just a quiet guy.

 

[sdhall01]

Thank god he is coming here, and thank god this recruiting cycle is over

Thank god he is coming here, and thank god this recruiting cycle is over

JUUUUST in time for the NEXT recruiting cycle to get cranked up to eleven.

Based on that picture, I'd assume he was at his parents house (that's definitely not an on-campus apartment) - just goes to show that O13 was right along and AW3 knew where he was going

 

[cbcuse3]

Shout out to Orangeman13, I knew you were on it all along

Also a big lol at the NCAA...final four in 2016 and look at this squad of 10 guys for 2016-2017. You can't hold James Arthur Boeheim down no matter how hard you try

Come on Mod's change the title of the subject to Andrew White III - SU Commit. What is taking so long???

[AZOrange]

Goodman is a dummy, that article says we lose DaJuan this year which obviously we do not.

Goodman thinks we lost Coleman as well. isn't it his job to know these teams?

 

[Dave85]

Coaches did a terrific job reloading this team!

"This is the second time White has transferred in his college career, which began with Kansas. He played for the Jawhawks for two years, appearing in 44 games. He then transferred to Nebraska"

44 games! He was meant to come here!

 

[SoBeCuse]

YES!!

 

[cuserulesall]

Andrew White III to transfer to Syracuse men's basketball from Nebraska

 

[Deano]

Kudos to the staff for filling two huge needs after this season. Let's hope we can go just a tad farther than just getting to the FF this year and win the whole dang shooting match.

I nominate Orangeman13 for the Orange Cross. Extreme accuracy and courage under fire.

Now that's it's official, a ton if people owe this guy an apology. He was one step ahead of EVERYBODY over the course of 3-4 weeks. Including his post last night that White had arrived. Especially a certain blogger that ripped him on Twitter and assassinated his character on the VCU board.

Done

Jon Rothstein (@JonRothstein) on Twitter

It's only fitting that I bring this to you!

Actually, first reported by Orangeman13.

I never liked how Orangeman13 went about it and how he treated some people here but credit where it's due.

looks good!!!!

I think he's leaving Thursday! Or tomorrow?!

I need to talk to a couple of our forum insiders on how to deal with information on our next guys (Green and Tucker).

I really don't want to be controversial. I want Syracuse to win just like you guys (and ladies).

I'm happy that you are all happy! Go 'Cuse!!!!

O13, thanks for the updates along the way! Here's my take:

I think Houstoncuse put it best:
"I know many of us appreciate the information you've posted and we all want to like you, but then you add in stuff like that last sentence. The constant need for praise and validation has not only made it more difficult for you because it adds an air of desperation, but it has caused a significant rift here. I think you would have a much better experience here if you dailled that back some."

Dialing it back means focus on how to present your information in a concise manner and refrain from gloating about your insider status and putting the focus on yourself. For example, when you posted "Jon Rothstein (@JonRothstein) on Twitter

It's only fitting that I bring this to you!", the last part is not necessary.

You info is not controversial, it's your presentation. Everything from childish bragging to offering autographs.
Again, this is just my opinion. Please don't be defensive. I know you are well-meaning. I just think a different approach on your part will help stymie the backlash you have experienced.
