Who is BJ? A new guy I know, but not who he is. Don't know how I missed this info.

BJ's the one of the left. The one on the right is the Bear.

Hmmmm. When 120 years old you are, look as good you'll not.

Personally, I think it is ridiculous that you don't follow the recruiting forums 24/7...

But... BJ is a SF recruit for this year's class. He's a lanky 3 with range who has been moving up recruiting charts the last 6 or 12 months. Silky smooth touch on the j but will probably need to add some strength before moving into a big time role..

He has a great dad who works his son's ass off and keeps the fans posted on his improvement -- It's hard to tell whether the father or son will be the bigger fan favorite, I'll go with the youngin' though.

You guys realize that just because you're a Syracuse fan doesn't mean you necessarily know what Tyler Roberson had for breakfast right?

The same thing he has every Fourth -- three slices of wheat toast, bacon, eggs, and a side a freedom.

 

[HOFCeluck]

LOL..telegraphed that one.

Lengthy 2-3 with range just like the zone.

He played primarily as a 6'7 sf three point perimeter shooter in high school with some baseline slashing. In the All star games and AAU ball he has been showing one on one driving and flashy dribbling skills more. Only a matter of time to we see how he pulls up off the dribble. JB wants to use him at the 2 for syracuse, which I believe means JB thinks he has the defense to.

And I have high hopes for this kid. If he can defend quick D-1 guards in the backcourt, occasionally bring the ball up and knock down open 3's ... then there's a s-load of PT waiting.

Well Jersey, I'll give you the news. BJ is an under the radar recruit JB wanted from North Philly. He is a little young for his class and appears to have been under-ranked. He has progressed fantastically since signing and his HS team, and him, did well.

His father appears to post regularly and in response people are respectful. Several had hoped he would red-shirt but that does not seem in the cards. While some have classified him as a 2-3, that is nonsense. He is a 3, through and through.

In the long term SU view, BJ looks like he will be a key rotational player starting in the '15-'16 season, starting along side Roberson in JB's swan song.

 

[retro44]

no need to mention dad here

 

[Gabjon]

Njcuse you deserve a 2 month band! Because you as a long time poster should know better! Happy 4th to all!

Dannng! We're getting recruits out of NorCal now! Wooah Momma!

I think he meant a small forward recruit. Not a San Fran recruit.

 

[njcuse]

Thank you to those who actually provided the info I requested. I follow the board and the team fairly closely, but just couldn't place this particular recruit, BJ.

I think he may see time at the 2. BJ's Dad has posted several times that JB told him and BJ that the the staff considers him a 2/3.

Yeah, maybe I should back off that statement a little. But I think BJ is still growing and when he hits 6'8" it will no longer be an option. His shot at additional time this year probably lies in carving out time at the 2. IMO, it is a long shot, but the possibility of taking the sharpshooter role could materialize.

I think long term BJ will fit in nicely at the 3. I think it is his where he will be best suited. But if SU doesn't grab a stud sg soon, crossover from the stud farm at forward may need to occur. I think the madness will stop after SU lands either Whitehead or Briscoe.

And to njcuse, from my reading I like the vibe of BJ's coachability and work ethic. Part of it may be that I just don't get the insights from the other players like I read from OG, but I've been impressed.

An under the radar incoming recruit that can do this

this

and also specializes in this

At 6'7-6'8 and being a lefty Cuse fans will likely try endlessly to compare him to CJ Fair. He may have a bit stronger handle to start though and a unique skill set more in line with Kevin Durant.
