A lot of kids can jump and dunk. Is he working on his perimeter game and the mid to long range shot?

He was actually a good shooter coming out of highschool. Not like he was some bum and his shot was broken. Not even like he had that many opportunities lol. But yea I'm sure he has worked on all aspects of his game, most of these kids do that ya know. But the dunk was still impressive and showed off his athletic ability. Felt it worth a share. I liked brycen and wish him the best. Maybe he has only worked on just this dunk ever since he left cuse and during all this down time. Probably hasnt shot a single 3 pointer or midrange jumper at all. Probably doesnt even know his weaknesses that he needs to address and work on.

Good luck to Brycen

Brycen will be one that we look back on in a few years and wish hadn't gotten away.

Agreed, sometimes the roster doesnt shake out and kids dont want to ride the bench for two years. Have zero doubt that by the time he was a junior, hed be one of the better players in the acc had he stayed.

He's going to do well. Kid has a lot of talent and was one of my favorite 'Cuse recruits (early camp kid IIFC). He had a smooth stroke, good handle and was a very good defender in the zone. Wish he had waited it out a little longer and developed some confidence. Cooley is a good coach and has a nice recruiting class this year. Go gettum Brycen ...

It's possible it all depends on how good Joe and Richmond are and also what guards we land in recruiting. He's very talented may never have developed here.

A few years? I’m looking back on it now and wishing he hadn’t gotten away.

Im happy for players being more empowered now to go find playing time elsewhere, but it does suck that any 4 star recruit who doesn’t get 20 mpg right away seems to have a 70% chance of bolting.

actually that wasnt even a dunk, he got stuffed by the rim but it went in cause he pulled it down. very paul harris

That was a dunk. It may not have been clean, but it was certainly a dunk. My goodness, he took off one step inside the free throw line and you're gonna criticize it? I hope you've won a dunk contest.

if you’re going to post a slow mo dunk for the world to see .. having as many chances at it as you like ..it better not involve the ball hitting the front rim and being pushed in after the fact .. once again... not a dunk .. oh it was an impressive leap and cradle .. but it’s not a dunk

 

[Cusesky8214]

Lol. That definitely counts as a dunk...ridiculous.

Looked pretty damn impressive to me either way.

I think you’re right. He could be successful soon and in the right context. To me, it was bad timing. He was behind a few guys in the rotation. Buddy proved his worth as a shot maker. He even improved that mid range and using a first step to get into the lane as people couldn’t give him an inch from behind the three point line. I wonder how many people remember how many shots around the foul line he hit when he wasn’t given room from deep and got into the lane.
Then, you have Joe coming in and there was that point early in the season where it was clear Girard had more value being on the floor than Carey. I feel bad for Carey. He never got over his form of the yips. The timing just wasn’t there for Brycen. Perhaps he could have had a few more chances, but I think JB did the right thing, playing his best guys, giving the team the chance to win.
If Brycen gets his chance, it’s just a matter of time for him to be a decent player. I will be rooting for him.

Agreed. The staff didn’t want him to leave and thought he was developing well. He had some good games, spectacular athletic moments attacking the rim, and times when he knocked down a couple of 3s where you could see how good of a player he was going to eventually be. I think his family must have seen the logjam developing, though, with Buddy and Girard locked down at the guard positions and with the buzz about Kadary and his huge potential as a basket attacking third guard.

I was wondering if Brycen had applied and a decision was coming. I'll be curious to see how he does. I think he will develop into a really solid player for Providence.

Interesting to see how Kadary does this year. I think even if BG stayed Kadary would be the 3rd guard

 

[pwong]

Cooley likes to play a decent amount of guys, hoping Brycen can get a steady role and really contribute. Even though he would technically be the 4th guard, the 3 other guards ahead of him will probably be in the starting line up (Bynum, Duke, Reeves).

I really liked Brycen, coming into the 2019 season but never really looked like himself at SU, probably due to constantly looking over his shoulder to see if JB would yank him after any mistake.

Very few frosh come in and immediately set the world on fire. Unless Kadary is one of those types, or he has the benefit of endless rope, a la’ JGIII, it’s likely he’ll need some time to work out the kinks. BG could’ve been the combo guard to fill-in-the-blank while Kadary settles in and hones his game.
How about a 4-guard rotation of Buddy, JGIII, Kadary, and BG? That would’ve been a versatile Swiss Army knife of possibilities in the backcourt. Instead we’re one injury, and/or adjustment period away from our limited backcourt facing more problems.
I’m a fan of a deep bench- the longer, the better. It’s never made sense to me why JB chooses to run his starters into the ground, even when he has talent available. JMHO
