Class of 2016 Any news from the hill?

[Francis03]

This is what I can share so far. All the visitors are having a ball and we couldn't have picked a better weekend to have a bunch of guys visit SU. Thompson's heart is with SU, but playing time and mommy signing off are still concerns here. Green could end things at any moment, but he's the type that loves the attention and the Duke interest is tempting him to hold off for a little bit. Tucker loves SU and a commitment could come at any moment, but like Quade he might want to seek out more attention that the recruiting process brings. On Gillon, basically the same as I said on my pod. If he leaves without committing and visits A&M/OU, we'll end up on the outside looking in like the Mullins situation. The staff is dealing with him personally throughout and giving it their best shot to close it out.

To recap it all. I'll be shocked if we don't land a player or two after this weekend.

Ideally, I'd like the two guards right now--Gillon to bolster next year's line up, and Green to build a solid foundation going forward.

The others can take their time, if they prefer.

It was a great weekend for them to all visit. Weather turned for the better. Mayfest parties. Concert in the Dome last night with 3 acts college kids love. Sorority and Fraternity activities today. Has to be fun on campus this weekend as the kids blow off some steam before finals start Thursday.

 

[Yegorange]

Dean, thank you for the update! Great stuff as always. Guess Gillon and Tucker are best bets then for now.

Sounds like a perfect environment for underage high school kids! J/k

 

[Francis03]

You left out Hamidou Diallo???? oh no...

He's not committing until he visits Kentucky. He's loving the visit as well and SU is pretty much high on his list at the moment. Plus his family prefers him to stay in the northeast. So we have that working for us.

 

[PauliePeppas]

The thing is, he didn't even want a tractor. But we got it for him. Because this isn't about basketball..

Go on...

 

[EastCoast2]

Wish list from this weekend:
1) Green
2) Diallo
3) Tucker
4) Thompson
5) Gillon

Which is nice

DJ Rony Seikaly was spinning at one of those parties.

Go on...

Please tell me you've seen Blue Chips Paulie

First, Thomas Bryant, and now, Taurean Thompson: it's become apparent Syracuse Baaketball has "mommy" issues.

Diallo is blowing up, so we will have to fight off a lot of big time suitors. He obviously likes us, it's just a matter of a ton of teams are now waking up to his talent.

Alex Wright, the original European version of Fandango. And don't mention Disco Inferno; that guy was a jabroni.

I have haha...one of my favs, just wondering if theres more to it with Green ( nothing sketchy) just maybe he wants to go far away from home or something. Jimmy B deserved an Oscar for that movie btw "too many bad shots"

one of these family wish sitches has to work out for us right?

This is the closer -

 

[EastCoast2]

I'd love to get one commitment tonight, then another one tomorrow on the drive home.

Wright always cracked me up. Hated Inferno, dude was such a corn.

Is UConn a legit threat? It sounds like it will come down to UK/UConn for him -- any chance we can sneak in ?
