Class of 2020 C Eddie Lampkin (TX) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (4/2/24)

[EnviroSciGuy]

dasher If we had to get a mystery donor late for Lampkin, did we not have any money leftover for the last 3 scholarships? Or did they not spend it since they wanted to save it for a few more pieces?

What you are asking for is the kind of info that we really do not want to be out there in the public domain. It could be used against Cuse basketball, big time.

 

[Nicknack]

Another warning, please stay on topic - this is the basketball forum and the thread is about Eddie Lampkin only. Thank you.

Some of you are hard of hearing. Sheesh.

Has the issue with lampkin been resolved?

Has the issue with lampkin been resolved?

Insiders are saying they're hearing good things and he's interacting with Cuse fans on twitter. However we won't know for sure until he enrolls

 

[Dcuse]

I'm usually just a CBB lurker and I came here for EL news...

(So now, we're all going to get in trouble for being O/T)

This Dino vs Coach Fran stuff is strange. Dino's plan when he came here worked. He just couldn't sustain it (reasons up to debate). He elevated the program and built a foundation. Coach Fran is building on that with more of an identity, and elevating everything Dino built on. Less we forget players were drinking soda in the facility before Dino came.

What is wrong with you guys? THIS IS THE EDDIE LAMPKIN THREAD!!!

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

Except for Dasher, he can post.

 

[GHLF]

Dino had 6 years experience leading a team, and brought in guys with experience and success at their respective coordinator positions and still failed. Some have it and some don’t. The plus for Fran is he get to showcase his talents now, red is struggling and that’s a massive negative on him, even if he eventually proves to be a good in game coach he can’t win the approval until the season starts again

So Red is struggling, We just brought in a very good recruiting class in like how many years, very solid portal class and we are in the thick of it for tremendous 2025 players. Also, by the way banking on returning players heavily. Did he tell you he was struggling, any other coaches? Tough times to navigate, I am banking on Red doing it the right away, he already is. We unfortunately have 1 transfer completely unexpected, MB, the rest you can assume whatever you like. He has hit it out of the ballpark this off-season. No matter what, comings and goings

How soon could he enroll and make it official - Summer sessions or August?

Class of 2020 - C Eddie Lampkin (TX) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (4/2/24)

I agree with everything you said but what can the NCAA really do? It seems their hands are tied in a lot of this. I don't know exactly, I haven't thought much about what it can do now - I've thought more about what I think the structure should be in the future (basically pro model). But...

I'm on a Hill Society Zoom right now with ADJW and Red. Red confirmed that Eddie is in the fold. JW said Red did a great job this weekend working with Eddie's Mom. They expect to have him on campus next week, but they also admit that a team theoretically could tamper and there is no binding contract they can sign. JW said an SEC team was trying to poach Lampkin but unfortunately doing so is legal.

Eddie would be given an opportunity to have a great 5th year and focus on doing everything possible to help him earn money after college too. If he does work on his conditioning and hit the weight room a bit more there is a lot he could do that benefits both himself and the team ( on top of the player he already is).He isn’t getting the same kind of opportunity at A and M no matter what they are willing to spend.

[grepal]

Do you really think Fran and Dino are similar?
The preparation is better, the results will be better.

Looks like the talent will be better. JAB credits Melo for making him look smart. As someone who has a lot of coaching experience I can state that coaches can make a difference in training and preparation but the talent will usually win out. In college sports emotion is also very helpful.

I just attended a webinar hosted by AD Wildhack and Coach Autry titled “The Current and Future State of College Athletics and the Impact at SU”.

One attendee asked about the status of Eddie Lambert’s commitment and Red’s reply was “it is as solid as it can be without a binding agreement. We hope to have him on campus next week”.

JW added on that an SEC school clearly tried to tamper, which they are allowed to do, but Red did a great job last weekend with Eddie and his mom.

I don’t envy coaches and ADs. This is such a mess that actually coaching games seems like the lowest of their priorities.

Thanks, Scott.
Wow this substantiated info sounds an awful lot like the info provided to us by the one the only dasher

What else are you learning about

 

[Zelda Zonk]

So Red is struggling, We just brought in a very good recruiting class in like how many years, very solid D based portal class and we are in the thick of it for tremendous 2025 players. Also, by the way banking on returning players heavily. Did he tell you he was struggling, any other coaches? Tough times to navigate, I am banking on Red doing it the right away, he already is. We unfortunately have 1 transfer completely unexpected, MB, the rest you can assume whatever you like. He has hit it out of the ballpark this off-season. No matter what, comings and goings

The incoming freshmen weren’t signed this offseason.

The portal transfers are ranked:
Lampkin 196
Davis 128
Carlos 256

What “ballpark” is this? Basement Nerf tee ball?

 

[GHLF]

I dont disagree with anything you’re saying outside of this being a defense based portal class. Carlos is a good defender no doubt, the other two, however, are not…

That was a typo, sorry. Lampkin, def not at least on metrics

 

[GHLF]

Very solid D based portal class? Carlos isnt a good defender at all and Lampkin had one more blocked shot than Joe Girard did last season. Put them together with the worst defensive tandem JJ and Bell and its a disaster. This defense is putrid and thats saying it mildly.

Complete typo, in no way meant to ref defense

Well...I guess most of us can figure out who your sources are...
