Class of 2020 C Quincy Ballard (NY) Transferring from FSU to Wichita St

[AZOrange]

Judging off his latest follows on IG, I’d say it’s a done deal.View attachment 216598

Yep. Done

Family driveway II?

The only question is “where in the world is Billy Edelin?”

Playing rec ball in DeWitt?

Manning the BBQ grill?

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

How about we adapt to our players and not play zone we know we’re not equipped for

Well, last year's team could not play man to man

Do you think Billy will look like he wants to be there this time?

Ballard averaged more blocks per 40 minutes against ACC opponents than Edwards did. He didn't miss a shot in ACC play, nor did he make a free throw. He's bigger and will bring quality defensive depth when he's in. The next year, Ballard will be the frontrunner to replace Edwards as the starter.

It's a solid but unexciting pickup.

Maybe he'll change all of our minds before he's done.

I really like this kid. He will bring a much needed physical presence. I think he ends up starting in 2 years.

I think at FSU he was a lot like Cole was at Nova, caught in a deep roster with 3 other 7 footers ahead of him, he did get to practice with those guys for 2 years though. Also, he grew 5 inches in high school and I'm sure it has taken a couple of years for him to adjust to that, physically and mentally.

I'm picturing Pascal Chukwu 2017-18 Cuse Sweet Sixteen team where he averaged 27 mpg along with 5.4 ppg and 6.8 rpg. If he can meet or exceed those numbers and maintain a pillar in the paint, then I think it will be a win-win.

Most of our recruits do

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Just a heads up.

If he picks Syracuse, this thread will be locked, and we'll start a fresh thread for him on the main board like we did for all the other transfers.

If he picks Depaul, we'll keep it here

If he picks Rutgers please delete

The thread, or the whole board?

PC didn't grow up in the US playing basketball, his development was way behind QB's. He also couldn't catch the ball very well.

Scal really came into his own. I’ll never forget his 18 boards in Cameron when we upset Zion the following year.

Who or what are you picturing?

 

[CousCuse]

Who or what are you picturing?

How many passes went through Pascal's hands? If he could have caught and dunked, he would have been a great center at SU. He was a good center in the defense, very good.

VT is getting pretty fired up reading the Chukwu comps, right CuseFaninVT ?

Charge your phone.

This post is hilariously funny for two reasons: 1) because it’s random, and 2) because whenever I see people post pictures online I’m always looking in the background to see what books people read, etc. Well done!

Irony is that I knew someone would respond with that when I posted it because I’d do the same.
