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

[pwong]

He went to Duke with Lively already committed. He was the number one recruit coming out of high school. It’s ironic that Ryan’s parents are both former SU athletes and graduates.

It’s because the NWestern coach played at Duke and was a former Duke assistant.

But can he even transfer again? I have no idea what the rules are with the covid waivers and new transfer rules.

I respect his decision to post this.

Danm right

I was joking before, but now I wonder if he really might try to give that Nick guy a swirlie.

 

[IthacaMatt]

Is he similar to Jesse weight wise?

Yes, after 5 years of S&C by Jesse. Patterson is still in high school.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

He might be a great kid and in time turn out to be a serviceable player, but that is not what we need in the toughest conference.

Are we changing conferences again?

I loved that Vitale repeated numerous times during the Duke game that Judah should stay and develop a jump shot to become a solid first rounder next year rather than be a 2nd rounder in the G League this year. I hope he is listening to sound advice and not go the way of Lydon, Richardson and McCullough who all left too soon and needed more of the college game to further develop.

Yeah, but the problem is that if Jesse and Joe leave, there's no way that roster is going to be competitive in the ACC. That's like a bottom 4 team, probably half a dozen games below .500, at best.

Judah will probably go somewhere else just where he can play on a good team that will make the NCAA tournament. Our team is likely going to blow next year.

 

[IthacaMatt]

Good for you, Mr. Patterson!

 

[orangepassion]

Hopefully he uses it as motivation and becomes a man on a mission. Digger Phelps, you're welcome.

Yep, be ready to embrace the suck

That BH dude has tweeted about it like 10 times, including this morning. He's gotta let it go too. Luttrell behaved very unprofessionally and rudely and needs to own it (not "it was a joke/sarcasm", "sorry if you were offended", etc.) but there's no need to keep hammering a college student over it.

I'm sure Nick's editors and Pete Moore are having a few words with him if they haven't already.

100% agree. Unprofessional move, but he’s a kid and surely feels bad enough about it already. Be the adult and let it go; let him learn to be better.

 

[phil77]

The biggest question I have about Mr. Patterson is will he be the only player on scholarship at SU next year?

I doubt Judah would transfer. If he were to leave, it’d be to go to the NBA.

If he needs that to be motivated, he’s sunk.

What does being a college student have to do with it? Old enough to drive, vote, and serve in the military, but he shouldn’t (rightly) be publicly ripped for calling another human being who he has never met “trash.”
People not holding that generation accountable is a huge problem in our country today.

Which generation do we hold accountable? Seems like we could start there before decrying the youth as we always do.

 

[hoopsupstate]

I think we have people in all generations that need to be held accountable. Not just the younger generation.

I like this.

I like the term "bozo" it is really condescending without swearing. "Clown" is related and good too.

 

[Cuse181]

Good, what an idiot. The kid is everything wrong with the broadcast industry. Zero regard for decorum and only looking for a “hot take.”

I love clown, it’s been a go to for years, the best thread title in the history of this site has clown in it (off topic). Giggle every time I see it.

Trash bag is one I love to use as well.

 

[grepal]

I enjoy his post. Anybody trashing this man is at best a jerk.
