Class of 2020 C Frank Anselem (GA) COMMITTED/SIGNED TO SYRACUSE

[CA Monk]

At the risk of sounding impertinent or worse stupid, why doesn’t his heading show “committed/signed” like our other 2020 recruits? Is he signed? Is there a COVID-19 reason he’s not signed? Don’t they just fax these NLIs in? Again, sorry if I missed something just curious that’s all.
As my mother would say, “Should I worry?”

The late signing period may have ended, not sure on the calendar dates. Which means he doesn't sign an NLI, he just shows up to or enrolls in a summer session on campus

He should be fine. The 2020 NLI D-1 BB signing period has been extended from May 20th to August 1.

Thank you, wonder if he will bother w signing one before enrolling? Not signing one means he can still be recruited.

Very excited about Frank. Can't wait to see how quickly he adjusts to the zone. I'm not expecting much offensively but hopefully he can protect the rim, get some rebounds and give JB (and Sid) 10-15m. That will allow MD to do his thing at PF and avoid fouls.

I think that only the bench will truly allow MD to avoid fouls.

Pterodactyl wing span...block party baby! Hopefully a willing rebounder and athletic enough to move and cover the areas of our zone. I like it!

For reference Anthony Davis has a 7-6 wingspan vs Frank's 7-5.

How does Frankie's brow compare?

Frank is way better than any of the Centers we have signed in recent memory. Real good player, love the pickup.

 

[Ldavid]

I’m really excited about Frank. People forget that he was a top 75 recruit in 2021 and trending up.

Yeah, I think since it seemed like it all kinda came out of nowhere and his rankings were weird between the reclass, we'd normally be more excited about this level of a recruit than we've shown. Especially for a 5.

I'm on the Frankie Block Party train though, no doubt.

 

[Sherman20]

Very high likelihood that Edwards redshirts or transfers. He was brought in for depth just like Howard Washington. I wish him the best of luck in whatever happens.

Disagree. Love Edwards’ upside.

In the limited highlights his athleticism and aggressive nature provide optimism. Other than Guerrier we lack tough inside players. Sid and Edwards are more finesse type players.
Frank dunks everything he can and goes up strong with two hands which i havnt seen since DC days. Teams need guys with an edge. Especially in the middle. This guy is a great get.

 

[orangejunkie]

I think the jury's out on Edwards and JBA. They could be battling for the backup position this coming season. Frank looks to be the better, more athletic prospect.

 

[cusefan88]

If one between Edwards and JBA has to go so be it. But this season will be a battle, that is great.

 

[Orangezoo]

Did no one watch Edwards last year? The kid adds 20 lbs and he is a different player. He showed things not one big man can do on this team yet. I love adding Frank but the Edwards is a throw away crap - just wow.

Wash. Rinse. Repeat. People overvalue freshman on the board all the time. Last year it was Quincy.

I like the possibilities with him too but 20 lbs. might just be a dream. With more competition, I can see him playing less this year than last. That upside of his might make him less patient and even more marketable elsewhere.

Quincy wasn’t valuable? Are u serious?
