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

[Capt. Tuttle]

Im pumped for the third commitment in July

Portal, high school, or Europe. (Oh, and be sure to disclose your source, or else.)

He doesn't have to. If they registered him for the second semester summer session, he can get NIL money and the deal is made. I assume, I know, I know, that was done today.

It is done.

 

[dasher]

It is done.

I know. I said that a few hours ago. I was referring to the registering for the second summer session.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

Wonder how much more he got at gunpoint? So endearing to the fan base. He’s just maximizing his worth. Just a kid…. Well at 22.

What age is too young or too old to value money or your value in any given marketplace?

He didn’t create the current system that you don’t like. I don’t know how you can fault somebody for looking after their own best interest.

Can anyone explain to me how academics work in this open transfer proces. How do these kids seem to automatically qualify wherever they go ?? Did we forget these are academic institutions?

 

[DilemaCuse]

He might be big but those calves look skinny

Academics? Ha, when was the last time a kid was academically ineligible? I feel like for some reason that situation has all but disappeared

 

[Day2]

Hopefully that's Manny's.

The other place will overcharge him.

What goes around, comes around.

Yes exactly! I guess that’s gone to the wayside. I just despise this system

 

[Toga]

Shirt World?

Well said Grasshopper.

 

[MGP]

Shirt World?

Is Jacobs the big donor?

 

[cusefan88]

Can't wait to see him play. Hope Cuse is dancing March 2025. See you then.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Lampkin sucked us dry. He better average 18 and 12 for what we are going to end up giving him.

 

[Red2003]

He did nothing wrong.

Exactly. When things looked bad and I went to take a look at the list of best 5’s left in the portal and saw Patterson’s name I knew we had no other options. Good for him and his people getting what the market says he’s worth.

People harping on a kid making the max he can during his last year of college. I think people better take a look in the mirror and ask what they would’ve done.

Even as fans it’s fine to hate the system, seriously screw the NCAA but don’t hate the player just for working the system. Big Eddie didn’t make the system and he didn’t force ol Buzz and his Texas money to call him and offer him the money

Good on him. Terrible on our roster management and strategy for who we went after this offseason.

Honestly the options at the 5 that were more affordable and better were what?

 

[Cusefan0307]

If he’s getting what I heard we could have offered Amari Williams or Big Cliff. Heck we may have got an All Conference point guard.

Gotta figure they both cost more tbh but could be wrong…. Esp given what Ballo got

 

[Day2]

We’ve reached the copium stage of this thread.

Not the Rutty kid, that’s for sure. What did UConn get the Michigan kid for? I bet it was in the same ballpark.

Maybe - Reed is a better defender for sure not but the offensive threat

 

[Fat tire 13]

Is Jacobs the big donor?

Jacobs was playing the long game. Scamming customers for years to save up the dough to pay Eddie. Pure genius

 

[Orangefan1]

I was wondering if he could afford me those shirts from Mannys? Not sure if he has enough money
