I'm sure playing time next year would be a concern. Not sure a 4 star recruit is worrying about Edwards or Jba.
Pretty good. Stick around, plenty to learn. For example, I just learned that Coach Q is a better recruiter than Boeheim and Dash hates women's basketball.
I have to believe the staff is pretty high on Jesse. He and JBA have both learned the system which takes time for incoming players. FA thinks he is a 4star and should get PT right away, IMO. That's what seems to be the issue with all the guys they have reached out to. It's somewhat of a dilemma because they want a guy who could be available this year but those guys want real PT. If they got a developmental prospect they would want to RS him and he probably wouldn't be much to turn to in a case of injury or foul trouble anyways. Maybe a D2 grad transfer who wants to be part of SU basketball or someone along those lines.
Edwards was in the 100-200 range as a recruit, same as Anselem.
Ya but I doubt he's going to be intimidated by him. Just a guess but he probably thinks he's better and can beat him out.
I'm sure they are and I like Jesse too. I'm just looking at it from his point of view. He probably looks at our roster and thinks Sidibe is a senior so I'm not beating him out but there are no all Americans on the roster I can beat the others out to be the backup center and then start as a sophomore.
I guess you would have to be privy to his conversations with the staff. I honestly don't think he can take Edwards, for a young gangly kid who hasn't played much basketball, he displayed a lot of finesse and fierceness.
Like I said I like Jesse I think he's going to have a good career here. But I doubt a 4 star recruit doesn't believe he can beat him out for pt.
There must be a reason all these prospective recruits shied away. I think they must get some sense that Edwards is a key player from their coversations with the staff.
I see more potential than any actual big (Lydon was a 4 forced to play 5) since Rak. I could be missing someone, as I just can't retain all that stuff any more.
I assume your talking about tape haarms Ballard. They probably thought those other schools gave them a better chance to win. If this kid doesn't come here it will because wku paid him or another school wad a better fit not because he was worried about getting pt.
I would think he would want to go some place where he could get a lot of playing time, maybe even start, to show scouts that he could play in the league. Stewart went to UW 1 year and now is going to the NBA. That's what most 4 and 5 star guys envision. Syracuse is going to win a lot next year with or without him.
Stewart was a top ten recruit. He's not that good but he should get minutes next year should he come here.
There’s nothing else to do these days
Lol good point
