If JBA can play then people need to stop with the project label.
You can’t raise expectations without the criticism meter going up.
I just want JBA to be able to be a big off the bench during league who can play double digit minutes if necessary.
I don’t expect Lydon who was a perfect college big and was the difference in our final four run as the 4th scorer and guy who could block shots in the middle.
JBA isn’t Lydon.
Him and Elijah Hutchins-Everettfocus on big cliff 2020
Or Chol, Qudus, Carl Lewis, Tre Mitchell some guys that are available out there!!!
I know that in another thread some people were putting down Buddy Boeheim’s offer from Gonzaga saying that Few doesn’t get many high rated recruits. Just saw that Gonzaga has the 4th ranked class for 2019, so their recruiting must be improving. What I don’t get is how they got three 6’10” four star recruits in the 2019 class. They had already signed a 4 star 6’10” recruit this year (2018) too. He seems to get quite a few European players.
That was me, and thanks for the truth bomb.I know that in another thread some people were putting down Buddy Boeheim’s offer from Gonzaga saying that Few doesn’t get many high rated recruits.

Here's the thing, and before everyone jumps on me for being a hater I think Buddy is a P5 D1 player... But, Few's offer was an offer from a friend and Few had zero expectation of Buddy ever coming to Gonzaga. I'm sure he would have taken Buddy if for some reason Buddy decided against going to SU, but c'mon, he was going nowhere other than SU.I know that in another thread some people were putting down Buddy Boeheim’s offer from Gonzaga ...

Buddy didn't get any other offers because they would have been pointless - he was already committed to SU. I would be hard pressed to find a single D1 player who didn't go play for their father if he coached a D1 team.

But, i wasn't "putting down Buddy's offer." Just saying that if he had been named Buddy Jones, from Topeka, he wouldn't have been on our radar.

Well, we have never recruited Kansas, so I would agree with the statement, but to think we would not recruit a premier shooter in our recruiting area is nonsense. Truth is, if his name wasn't Boeheim, he would have had a plethora of high D-1 offers.That was me, and thanks for the truth bomb.

international centers have been pretty good lately in the NCAA - sabonis, wagner, vucevic, gorgui deng, steven adams, yurtseven, karnowski etc etc - and they are often a bit under the radar...so you'd think easier to recruit.
and the NBA is basically being dominated by international 5's at the moment...for whatever reason they seem to be more skilled than the domestic bigs generally speaking.
I'd like to see the squad get some more international flavor at the 5 - perhaps even some passing and shooting to go along with solid d and rebounding (i know thats a lot to ask) but MD's passing/shooting really opens up the offense...should be a pre-req for the spot i.e. recruiting.
Whatever the case - hopefully the centers recruited are 1) big enough to play the position (weight and height) and 2) are actual basketball players not just tall people
I think if SU could somehow snare a stud well-rounded international 5 of the same ilk that is populating the NBA at the moment - it could be the catalyst to another run at a title.
