Class of 2023 C Luke Wilson (GA) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (4/21/26)

[BEGood]

Agree would like an offense minded PG to go with him

You don’t need an offensive point. If dusk scores enough we are fine

 

[rrlbees]

Luke Wilson was Folefac's replacement. They are too similar as players.

One’s a 5 the other is a 4.

 

[IthacaMatt]

You are way off here Matt.

I posted this in response to another person, but I would respect your take on this starting lineup:

PG - Dual
SG - Tobiason
SF - Doty
PF - Sadiq White
C - Luke Wilson

That's the lineup. Any thoughts?

Do you think that lineup makes the top half of the ACC?

Do you see enough offense there?

I see ONE three-point shooter among the 5 starters.

Yeah Luke Wilson has one amazing 3 point shot. Similar body, somewhat. Similar players, not even close.

 

[IthacaMatt]

No, he’s not. He’s anywhere from the 3rd to 5th best portal center in the ACC according to experts. Some schools don’t even have a center. He’s 40 pounds heavier and 2-3 inches taller than Folefac.

He is MAYBE an inch taller than Will Kyle.
He doesn't jump nearly as high, won't block nearly as many shots.
But he does look like he's 20 pounds heavier.

The teams playing against App State in those videos are not as tall as players in P5 leagues.

Purdue was on him. They are Big U. That should tell you everything.

My point being that you can't take 2 guys with the same build.
They chose Wilson. They would be stupid to take Folefac now.
Folefac was the better player, but they couldn't close on him.
That's why they took this guy. This means Folefac is out.
I hope they have another center in mind, because this guy should be Sadiq's backup at the 4, not our starting center.

you should post something like this another fifty times or so…

just so we can be 144% sure what your taek is in this subject.

 

[IthacaMatt]

Yes, and UCLA, too. That doesn't make him any taller than he actually is.

UCLA once had Will Kyle, too, but that didn't actually make him 2 or 3 inches taller, just because they listed him so.

Ithaca Matt is on a mission to win the grumpiest poster of the month award. Doing a great job at it. Very tough competition too.

Well I got some news for you.

The Colgate kid would be a welcome addition.

 

[AZOrange]

Im happy where we are at the 2 and the 3. As of today I’m happy with where we are at the 5. I think work still needs to be done at point. We need a starter there. And we need a back up 4 for sure. And likely one more forward that can play the 3/4

When Folefac signs I think you bridge two of those issues

And I'm sure you are one of the guys who lectured us all about how teams don't need big men anymore, because that's not how the game is played anymore, right?

Do you think those kids he's playing against in the Sunbelt are as big as P5 players?

He's shorter than most of the centers I see him playing against in his App State clips.

Are all those guys unknown 7 footers?

 

[AZOrange]

The Colgate kid would be a welcome addition.

I don’t think we are even in contact here at this point

 

[IthacaMatt]

One’s a 5 the other is a 4.

Well, Luke Olsen is shorter than Eddie Lampkin.
He might be a bit taller than Will Kyle, but not much.
If that's our starting center, I just don't see enough offense.

OK, Comstock, defend your starting lineup.
Why does this team make the tournament?

 

[IthacaMatt]

That would be too bad, because he's precisely the kind of player I'd like to add to the backcourt, since it's pretty obvious that we're not getting any "name" players.

Eddie couldn’t jump over a napkin. Wilson is a different player.

I mean the player has to want it too…

 

[IthacaMatt]

Well I got some news for you.

So, that will leave us with one rim protector among the centers, and 1 weak side shot blocker at the four. And three guys among our big rotation who play below the rim. Which league do we play in?

Brian are you this miserable about other things in your life?
