Do you think Boeheim will be coach? That is a legitimate question too. Also, developing bigs includes minor changes to game philosophy. It also includes the big making adjustments from his game to the team philosophy. Being a stone and not making adjustments will hurt both parties. Coaches adjust, players adjust, it's a must. That is the discussion that the coaches and recruits need to have. If it is "my way or the highway" then does that bode well for us getting him? Not at all. Our coaches need to show him how he will succeed in their program. Clingan needs to ask himself if that works for him, if he thinks coaches will make minor adjustments to his style of play to facilitate success. We have been a very good outside shooting team lately, but NOT a very dominate inside scoring OR defending team against other bigs. Can't just put a big in there and hope for the best. Clingan is a legit old school back to the basket big with insane passing skills and flashes of an outside shot. He is a beast on D so the zone is good for our success, but does that contribute to success at the next level? I feel bad for him, he has a tough decision to make with so many options. But from what I hear, he has a strong relationship with our coaches. Fingers crossed.
Yeah, i really dont think boeheim is incapable of adjusting...but I do think he will sit a 7'1" 265 lb center if he cant cover the corner in the zone unless he does something else so well that he cant keep him off the floor. I would love to have clingan end up here, but unfortunately i'm not sure its the best place for him.
On offense, he always adjust to his talent. Everything funnels to get his best scorers their best chances to score. That’s why so many different types of players have been good scorers in the past.
Then they should look for a stretch 4 and not a true big if they want a center to cover corners. But we have had some stretch 4s there lately and they had a hard time guarding a true big that enters the paint. From what I have noticed anyway. But I'm no expert. Not knocking any players, they played hard. But you can't teach size.
Hey, I hope he gets a chance to do it again...
Yeah, I just think its easier to follow your man out on the perimeter when your playing him man to man, than it is to cover 20 feet in time it takes to snap a pass to an open shooter...and then spend 15 minutes on the bench because of it.
It's close o his house. Doesn't mean anything. He is allowed as many unofficial visits he wants. July visits must be official visits according to NCAA rules. From what I understand anyway. Plus, he's been to Cuse twice already. Nothing to worry about. I'm sure he'll do another visit. He is just using up his junior year visits. He gets 5 more as a senior.
My God will you just go away please.
We can only hope
He’s not going to come here no matter how much you ignore the reality of it lol.
To me, Needing an unofficial and an official tells me they feel they need to do more.
Let’s be real about these pics...they mean nothing, but everything in my mind.
Maybe in the creative mind of Cuse Countr - but Clingan had nothing to do with it
