Chance Westry Transferring to Syracuse

[baggerbob]

Will Westry ever play?

Probably should lock this thread and start a new one when or if Chance ever plays a game here.
2 years and has never been in a game.

I think Red would put him out there if he thought he could help.

Yeah, but what about Naheem? The complete lack of shot blocking is obvious. What would 4 minutes of SWAT do to harm the team? I JUST DON'T GET IT.

I'm not a McLeod backer but there is no reason he shouldn't be getting 5-10 minutes. Makes no sense unless he's hurt. If he isn't, there are more questions with no answers.

I make enough predictions with my posts which are very easy to find.

But if you did an Iggy Awards prediction, you have the chance to give yourself one of these cool, self promoting tags. ^^^^^^^^

haha, well I don't have time to measure him in person so i'm relying on Cuse.com

Found the non expert!

Yeah I just don’t get it. If we didn’t think he would be healthy and able to help us then why not go after a shot blocker to backup the 5 in the portal?

They showed a preseason clip of McLeod that made him look awesome.

He took a pass on a transition drill out by the three point line, dribbled once and dunked on Majstorovic (who was late getting in position) like he wasn't there.

I figured that meant he was healthy and ready to contribute. Once the season started, nothing but crickets. He hasn't even been mentioned except here.

I wonder if there will be more Chance career syrfan threads or Chance SU games played or starts.

Yes.

The excuse here has been that the matchups didn’t favor us—the other team had bigs that could shoot threes, so our biggest big couldn’t defend. But, Youngstown St had a ‘traditional’ skinny 7-footer who didn’t shoot from the outside. I gotta believe it’s a health thing—unless Red has said it’s not?

He had a great 12 minute stretch against that D2 team in exhibition game 2. Seems like he should have had at least another chance or two. He had like 9 pts, 7 reb and 2 blocks in his one appearance.

Yup, McLeod looked pretty awkward in that game. He doesn't look like a natural baller... But he produced good to great stats in the minutes he's been getting.

I'm going to get over it, I just wish we had a better explanation than we've gotten.

It's decreasing my opinion of Red's coaching decisions.

Yeah, if we were just crushing it on defense, then sure, Naheem has to be able to do all that is required of the job.

But man, our interior defense is putrid. Let him just come in and foul some guys. Knock 'em on their asses. Who cares about a few fouls? Make them reconsider coming down the lane.
