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

[SUFan44]

3 points and 2 rebounds in 10 minutes per game.

This place is funny.

Most hyperbolic tweet I've ever seen. He took 54 TOTAL shots this year. Guy barely played and you'd think he was averaging 5 blocks a game.

I think the hope is he can return to his South Dakota St form (13 pt, 7 rb, 1.6 blocks a game). As a backup could be decent…puzzling decision LY to transfer to be the 3rd C at UCLA (except for chasing the $$$).

If he’s a backup that’s fine…

I don’t trust that is the case.

SD ST is a lower level though. Unlikely to get that production.

There's no doubt with our excellent coaching and proven ability to help players improve year over year that this guy is about to unlock has potential for Syracuse in 2025-2026

I, for one, am pretty excited to see how Cabiles + Mario & Salvo’s enhances his physique while he’s under the tutelage of renowned big man guru Allen Griffin.

Does this mean we're out on Jokic?

 

[SUFan44]

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.

Ideally he’s a backup but I’m ok with him at the 5 especially if it means we don’t overpay for Ballard.

This is where we have to live in transfer land - we aren’t an elite program. This kid performed well enough ar the mid major level to be one of the most sought after transfers. Didn’t work out for him at his first P5 school but the potential is still there. I’m ok with going after this type of kids especially when the athleticism and length is obvious.

I just don’t see us getting guys like Donovan Dent, at least until we start winning more

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.

Don't forget the Marlboros

Nice pickup. The center position should be a a 3 way split. We got two pieces. Pickup a third big that can give some minutes and we’re set in the front court.

It’s all about the guards this year.

UCLA and Minnesota are both in the Big 10.

 

[SUFan44]

This is the type of kid we should be going after:

But alas, here we are. Hope Freeman makes a leap to NBA pick territory and we get a point guard who can score and isn’t a reclamation project like this one.

Who is the 2nd piece right now? We have no other centers

 

[VikesCuse84]

Heard we got him for $700k. Prices for players has gone crazy since schools are able to pay.

If this is the case, which I have no reason to doubt you, then he’s the starting C. Can’t imagine they’d sink another $1M+ into the C position when they need a PG, SF, and other pieces still.

Here we go!

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.

What am I missing? He’s averaged a block a game for his career to this point and wasn’t a major shot blocker at SDSU.

Definitely better than what we’ve had in that regard but is he really a big time shot blocking presence, especially at 6’9”? I love the athleticism so that should help.

7'3 arm length. 44 Vertical. Your answer is yes.
