Class of 2023 C William Patterson (NY) COMMITTED/SIGNED TO SYRACUSE (2/20/23)

[kingtidge]

10th best center in New York? Isn’t that about where Sienna usually recruits? That’s a far cry from Rak Christmas top
center in the CLASS.

Well, since we had zero recruits in the class, you have to start somewhere...

The good news is we don't have zero recruits in the class anymore and our coach that hates the portal has no choice but to use it, if he comes back next year.

Which is why I think he retires. We’re looking at a year next year like Louisville is having this year. Boeheim won't want to hold the bag on this. The tear down is complete. Much easier to pass the baton to Red or Gmac to fall on their sword.

Time for JB to retire. Let Someone else try to get Them respectability again

 

[JarHeadJim]

Roster
PG- Mintz, Torrence, Copeland
SG- Transfer, Taylor, Copeland
SF- Adams or Transfer, Bell, Copeland
PF- Brown or Transfer, Carey, JBA
C- Edwards or Transfer, Hima, Williams (redshirt)

We need a 2G who can shoot, drive and is bigger up top. Taylor is going to be very good but would bring in a stud to pair with Judah next year who Taylor can spell. If Edwards moves on we will need a transfer. Just throwing it out for disucsison

JBA needs to get the talk again.

 

[JarHeadJim]

Patterson got an offer out of the Elite camp. So JB saw something he liked in him.

 

[Giants1973]

JBA needs to get the talk again.

We can only hope edwards stays

 

[Giants1973]

We can only hope edwards stays

Hope Judah stays also

What in the world is going on and why would you ever do this ???

Agree. Just another example of why Twitter is toxic and in the grand scheme has little value. FFS some people just don't get it.

 

[sconniecuse]

Another thing old Nick doesn’t get is that even if William’s basketball skills aren’t up to his standards he’s a large young man and he will be on campus with him next year. You might want to think twice about who you insult on social media.

Yeah; 7'2" tall jumping jack, raw and skinny as hell, can cover the corner 3. That's all folks for JB when it comes to a center these days.

But Newhouse people know all and we aren't allowed to question them so I've been told.

 

[721Comstock]

Not necessarily. I wonder if it might be Osgood-Schlatter disease, which I believe occurs in instances of fast, large, growth spurts. (Medical folks feel free to correct me.)
The point is it seems to be a fixable “ condition”, not injuries.

I had Osgood-Schlatter as an early teen. Looked like I had a 2nd kneecap below the 1st.
It hurt like hell, but the Dr said I could run, bike, & ski as much as I could tolerate the pain.
I ran XC & track for all 4 years of HS.

No surgery required, I grew out of it.

Carey has had 2 surgeries -
I’m 99.99% sure he had injuries.

Thats an unfortunate exchange.

I think it's the result of nearly everyone who follows the program is now skeptical and critical of every move. There is a loss of faith in JB, and fatigue from the zone. Some have lost patience to wait for another Jesse to develop into a starter.

As another poster said, this doesn't move the needle and get people excited and people want immediate results which they extrapolate won't come from this and consequently there's no celebration, instead unprofessionalism from a Newhouse student. This wouldn't have happened 5 years ago or if JB was still winning 70% of his games. Cuse Twitter has negativity today.

I want JB gone, think the AD's office/leadership over the program is a joke, but always root for the players and wish the best for them.

 

[Giants1973]

This guy wants to be a media. He has alot to learn!!

Yeah that's why I still think its 50/50 if Jesse, Judah and Joe are gone Jim is gonna have to scramble and get 4 or 5 Bonafide players to avoid a Louisville season. Does he risk sticking around for that?

May have hit a new recruiting low here. This is a head scratcher

Nick is getting a swirlie next year.

Fab did not start year one and Rony was off and on. Rony was a huge project.

Rony wasn’t really recruited. He was good right away just based on his athleticism. He got better.

FIFY. I think Griff saw a player he could work with, and Boeheim nodded his approval.

 

[MDCuse]

Is he hurt? I'm having trouble finding any highlights or stats on him?

The kid is a Newhouse student. Works for the DO. Works for the radio. You can question the commitment but you can’t say he’s trash and then tag the kid on twitter.

I don't see it that way at all.

I don’t see it as any different than a lot of the recruits we’ve been getting for 10 years now.

We get a lot of “projects” with “upside” that run well for their size and are skinny and long. Heck, we got one last year and people were going nuts over him.

It’s not this kid’s fault that we haven’t signed anyone else.

Thats horrifically embarrassing.

People are waking up and getting angry. We're broaching get out the torches and pitchforks time.
