Class of 2016 C Omer Yurtseven (Turkey) Transfer from NC State to Georgetown

[JrodCuse]

Wow 24 points 16 rebounds 6 assists and 8 blocks?! Is he a superhero because that statline is mutant

 

[bornagainOrange]

Wait...What! Apparently this was the 7th place game (not the finals) of the Turkish championship, but umm...ya, that's the statline for 1 game!

I must not have had my coffee yet. Because I just read a box score that showed Yurtseven with 91 points in his last game.

I had to have 2 cups to make sure i was reading it correctly. He also had 5 assists and his team totaled 115 pts for the game, I'm not a math major, but thats at least 101 pts he had a role in...I'd say that's a pretty productive day

Wait... what???

 

[skurey]

I feel like this is all an elaborate troll against Syracuse fans. I doubt Omer Yurtseven is even a real person.

If this time next year, an unknown Bulgarian Remo Nevestruy unexpectedly visits SU, we will know its a ploy from UConn.

 

[SC Orange]

I hope those stats are real and I hope he commits to cuse. Then against uconn he drops 91 again.

 

[wallacecuse]

Wait... what???

Gotta say, the 5 assists are somewhat disappointing when you score 91 points. Ball hog.

 

[wallacecuse]

91 pts and no fouls? How is that even possible?

 

[longislandcuse]

Any chance, if he commits and is cleared, he could play PF or am I just having grand illusions of a front line with Chukwu at C and Lydon/Yurtseven on the wings of the zone when Roberson isn't in the game.

Could be the best practice big ever up on the hill!

You've seen him play?

 

[Jake]

You've seen him play?

I think he's alluding to eligibility issues and the Enos Kanter situation.

I think he's alluding to eligibility issues and the Enos Kanter situation.

I have heard that his camp feels pretty good about proving that he never took a dime. Don't know how true that is but his camp is confidant.

Not so much an illusion or even a delusion as a dream.

We still at 85%???

 

[orangejunkie]

Francis or others "in the know", any predictions on what SU may do now that Malachi is not in the picture for next year? Do you think this changes SU's recruiting? Could save the schollie and use it next year or bring in another guard or forward. Not sure the Turk is a real alternative here with his possible eligibility issues. Assume that eligibility issues with Thompson were just a rumor this past week and he could be announcing soon. Any predictions on this one? Bees and Jake, feel free to chime in...

A few days ago Jake posted on the basketball noard and his guesses relating to this year were:
Yurtseven 85%
Thompson 75%
Mystery Situation 15%

I kind of like Romello White, the recent GaTech decommit

 

[HoustonCuse]

I got two words for you about this guy: Kaiser Soze.

 

[cusetown1]

It shouldn't be that hard to prove he never spent the money. Money is put in and not taken out it should be easily proven . I believe Kanter received 30,000 + and spent it. That's a big difference .

 

[bornagainOrange]

Ya, I was talking about the eligibility concerns. Depending on what young Turk values the most for his one yr in college is...we offer plenty of pt and the chance to be apart of the best front court in the nation next yr. The utes and nc state offer maybe a little more pt, but that's it. I just keep my fingers crossed on this one

 

[bornagainOrange]

And no, I haven't seen him play ...but I'd like to
