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

[Consigliere]

I was a trumpet player as well. JD had a great music program from top to bottom when I was there.

I was a West Genny guy. One of the most talented trumpet players I ever played with was from JD. Rhys Henson.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

Now that is a reference I never thought I'd see here. Ron did love talking about him and of course Eliott Fisk.

I actually own one of Nuzzo's old trumpets. Hey, I can go Vic Russo on you too, if need be!

That goes back a ways, doesn't it!

That guy was amazing! First time I heard him play, I thought JD had hired Maynard Ferguson as a ringer in their jazz band!

Careful, that’s illegal in 17 states.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

We had a guy named Tommy Bridges back in the 80's who was a phenomenal trumpet player too. Nuzzo built some of our repertoire around him. No other reason that we'd play Flight of the Bumblebee. It was kind of intimidating as a 14 year old trumpet player to be asked if you'd heard your 16 year section leader's album yet.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

If Edwards redshirts then we will have 3 centers in the same class. I don't see that happening. I think we can count on one transfer.

A transfer is likely, but I'm curious to see if guys can develop and expand their games to be really big PFs. I'm biased towards preferring that the guys we 'croot find a path to pt and stick around.

In addition to separating the centers by class, it would seem better for Edwards at least to not redshirt. That will be better for him if he does transfer and has to sit for a season. But I don't want him to transfer. I'd rather see him become a productive player and I don't think he's far off from that at all.

Also, I still want Micawber.

Nor does modesty apparently.

You’re the peach to make a response like that one it’s obviously a joke especially when I’m using the word meth ball!!!

that’s all

it’s not like I’m talking about an actual person that has insider strong information And a great reputation

Modesty is overrated anyway!

 

[FrancoPizza]

He literally said nothing personal.

He criticized the post.

What sounds more civil and respectful?

A: your post is BAD
B: I disagree with your take and here’s why...

btw this wasn’t meant to single out any one person - there is a great deal of intolerance to dissenting opinions on this board. People let the author bias their interpretation of the message and before you know it a thread dissolves into a pissing contest.

now back to Anselem...

 

[orangefog]

Modesty is overrated anyway!

No it isn’t. And I should know because I am the most modest person. People are surprised at how modest I am.

This is America pal, take your civility and respect to Canada.

 

[AlaskaSU]

Any video of Anselem other than the short one of him dunking?

 

[Oakland]

IIRC - JD won the NYS championship the year after DS graduated!

And was an excellent trombone player. You know, in case that basketball thing DIDN’T work out!

Not sure what the hell that all means but regardless, I've actually defended you a couple of times in this very thread when you have been pressed on things. I appreciate you sharing and have told you that before. I just think you go way the hell overboard with the "hey look at me" approach. Whatever. Do your thing although it likely won't last.

Then put him on ignore so he doesn't get pissed off and leave and the rest of us can continue to get inside info haha

 

[Briancuse]

I want to agree with you, but I always listen to Larry David, so I don't know what to do.

This commitment was pretty pretty good.

2020 recruit Frank Anselem on committing to Syracuse: ‘I want to get to work’

Frank Anselem, a 6-foot-10 center in the 2020 class, committed to Syracuse on Wednesday night.

www.syracuse.com

 

[All4SU]

FA’s path to playing time is the same as any center other than Sidibe who played this year: play defense, particularly against bigger, stronger centers, grab rebounds, don’t foul out. We were never looking for 15 points/12 rebounds. If we could have that kind combined productivity from our centers this past year, SU would have been ranked.

 

[All4SU]

I actually played with Danny in an SU Summer Jazz Ensemble under Steve Marconi. Trumpets generally stand on a riser behind the seated trombone section. I still couldn;t see over him!

That’s a funny image... from another former trumpet player.

 

[Bulldog04]

I’m sure Cusesky has 1000000 of them somewhere

I'm going to put you on ignore if you don't shut it.

There's a full game of Prolific vs Huntington Prep, but Frank doesn't start and isn't featured much in it. Both those teams had some studs, including Jalen Green who is skipping college, and a Duke signee—both of whom look legit.
There's another vid of one-game highlights, where Frank is 'pitted' against another recruit at a different position, and unfortunately, Frank throws the ball away in the closing seconds. Other than that, i've only seen some training clips of him dunking. But, people keep talking about him being more offensively skilled than the guys we have, so i'm thinking i'm missing some videos.

About to scrub the first 40 pages of this thread...

Gotta like the way he dunks everything he can, but we said the same thing about Matthew Moyer.

Maybe on your tee time with your boys you can have them hand deliver you their tape they have on him so u can share with everyone. The only crap I got is from twitter and youtube. I dont get any of the good stuff that u get from rubbing elbows with the big dogs maybe when your at it you can tell us that Isaiah jackson is coming too and how shocked u were that he picked UK

Yeah, I haven't seen it either but I certainly assume the coaching staff has and that's good by me. I'm just tired of projects but from what folks are saying, while he may take some time, he ain't one. We will see.
Regarding Matt, I liked him a lot. He played with a lot of intensity and I believe could have been a 4-year player that we remembered for years. It happens but it's really too bad the way things went down (at least from my understanding).

 

[orange79]

Nah - once a guy commits, here or elsewhere, then it's a FREE FOR ALL!

O79 has stated as much.
It's in the bylaws.

It's really more of an unofficial guideline, as opposed to a bylaw.

I want to agree with you, but I always listen to Larry David, so I don't know what to do.

So, you're going to listen to someone who's been on the site for 2 days, instead of a mod. OK.
