Class of 2022 C William Kyle (NE) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (3/27/25)

[TheHaze315]

Who’s the Bonaventue player you’re talking about?

I believe he’s referring to Frank Mitchell from Minnesota. Not in the same league as he said but that’s the only P4 transfer i’ve heard of for the Bonnies.

 

[JaySU22]

For comparison, St. Bonaventure brought in a kid who averaged more points, rebounds and minutes played in the same league to start at center for them. If he’s starting at C for SU, this program is more broken than I thought.

UCLA and Minnesota are both in the Big 10.

I saw him the other night and he is an impressive young man.
Physically he is replica of Etan. If you looked at both of them side by side the look like twins.
Williams game is also very similar to Etans.
I personally think he is going to start for us and do extremely well.
In watching his film he is very coordinated. I was surprised at how good his handle is. William is freakishly athletic. He runs very well,is fluid, has good vision and is a quick jumper with great hops.
Between him, Donnie, and White we have a very long and athletic set of
Center forwards.
These three would be a JB dream back line. And yes he could cover the corner.
Now let's add the best PG we can afford and a sniper.
Meeks came out of nowhere for the football team. I think William does the same for the basketball team next season.

Ok good stuff. Things are moving behind the scenes. We can overall access once the team is built. An athletic first piece. Let's see what else happens before people start to howl at the moon.

 

[TheHaze315]

Yes, in my head I was thinking he was coming from Kansas for some reason.

Here is his commitment post with video…

 

[Scott11]

Watching the video it felt like he had more dunks and blocks last year than our entire team. We badly lacked rim protection the entire season. Not sure what happened to UCLA other than apparently the scheme didn’t fit his game and they didn’t use him as they said they would. He can be an important piece and I like the move.

 

[hoopsupstate]

I’m not sure why some people are negative about this kid. What is there not to like about what this kid brings to the table. He’s the kind of physical big everyone needs. Don’t get caught up in numbers, just watch his tape and what he’s able to do. He needs minutes. There is a huge upside with this kid and he has a motor that doesn’t stop. He doesn’t stop going after the ball. Isn’t that what you want out of a big? We saw more dunks in his short playing time than we had the entire season. We haven’t had the lob dunk as part of our offense in years. He’s also passed the ball well in his tape. It will be good to have this kid pushing Donnie and Sadiq around.

FWIW, if you check his stats before injury this year, they look much better than overall. 5 pts, 5 boards and a block in 12 mins of gametime. If he averaged that over a full game I think we would be very happy with him.

 

[RF2044]

I don't see the problem here. He's an experienced, athletic rim protector.

And we need to add at least two bigs via the portal. One down.

 

[RF2044]

Also think a guy who plays like this would work well with a lead guard like Claude.

Wow. 5 points, 5 rebounds and a block per game. He was really lighting it up before injury! UCLA thought so highly of him that he was averaging 12 minutes per game.

 

[Comstock44]

Meeks didn’t “come out of nowhere”. He got playing time for Georgia, a national championship team. This guy couldn’t get more than 12 minutes a game on a middle of the road team.

Yeah, 12 minutes per game is like playing special teams only at Georgia, right?

 

[CapitalO]

I really hope he will be the backup C/ for Ballard and Freeman, his FT% 39.5 17-43 ouch !!!

In 2023 Meeks had 1 catch for 23 yards before transfer to Syracuse.

He was injured off and on. Go watch some tape you might learn something

 

[JarHeadJim]

 

[Goin' Deep]

Yup...looked like he was injured around the 13th game of the season...
Going by the boxscores he was the 7th- 9th player(2-4 off the bench).
Seems aggressive..against UNC he scored 6 pts/6 rebs 2 fouls.
I think we;ll know when he's in the game...

 

[Comstock44]

In 2023 Meeks had 1 catch for 23 yards before transfer to Syracuse.Georgia football and South Dakota State basketball

Yes, at GEORGIA. The 2023 National Champion. How’s that compare to South Dakota State basketball?

Oh yeah let’s go compare him to someone who spent a decade in the association.

 

[CIL]

Yes, at GEORGIA. The 2023 National Champion. How’s that compare to South Dakota State basketball?

Well, he averaged 13 and 7 there.

 

[Comstock44]

Well, he averaged 13 and 7 there.

At a 1-AA program. How would South Dakota State fare with an ACC schedule?
