Nice height. Looks like he will help round out practices, which is fantastic.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

So is he our 4th guard?

Grabbing an open scholarship spot according to Mike Waters

What I think you meant was, "Grabbing the open scholarship recently
vacated by the exile, er, 'encouragement to transfer', er, departure of
Howard Washington to South Ala."

Technically our 3rd as Richmond is listed as a forward on the SU website.

Which means my prediction that Girard and Buddy are playing 40 minutes a game is probably pretty much spot on.

I stand by mine.

Buddy 40 mpg
Joe G 40 mpg
Marek 40 mpg
Griffin 40 mpg
Sid 15 mpg
QG 20 mpg
Richmond 5 mpg

any idea of what he was ranked like? maybe a low 3 high 2 star?

 

[RF2044]

Nice legacy connection. Probably best not to expect anything, a la AAII.

And there's nothing wrong with that.


EDIT -- I don't think those clips revealed much. Quality of competition was suspect in that footage, so who knows. BUT he looks to be a legit 6-5, which is at least something. Maybe he can develop into a rotation guy.

Billy Owens was an idol for me growing up. Billy has been hyping his son up for a while now posting videos of his workouts. I'm pumped about him. Athletic 2-3 with a shot.

 

[djorange1989]

his only offers are D2 and D3 schools, I would imagine the scholarship is for this year only, and if they have an extra one open in any other year he is here, they toss him in again. JB doing one of his former players a solid

 

[Cusecuse44]

I saw him ranked 2 star on one site. I'm assuming it's a one year scholarship, and then walk on status the remaining years unless he proves himself otherwise. Good move if that's the case. Not a fan if he's been offered for four years.

 

[walsh2012]

this solves our Howard Washington issue I think

Sure, if you mean a younger and lower ranked guy, with no experience playing the zone or ACC games, is a fix.

It’s better than nothing.

Okay, that I'll grant you.

Still remember his uncle Michael’s 2 pt conversion to beat the Mountaineers like it was yesterday.

I wasn’t born until 9 months later but you know what I mean.

EDIT: HOLY SH**!! I never gave it any thought until typing this just now but my parents got married the summer of ‘87 & my father took my mother to that game, her first time ever in The Dome. It’s one of his favorite Dome memories & he always talks about how amped he was. I may have to ask him a very awkward question the next time I’m home lol

Interesting way for one man to celebrate another man scoring.

 

[Owens guy]

Owens #30 on the Syracuse basketball roster will make me so happy.

I can't wait to see Chaz play any minutes (even garbage time) to look for any even remote similarity to Billy.

 

[KevMonstah]

I don't think that running Washington off to open the scholarship is really the
right way to find him a spot. Doesn't exactly send the best message to other
potential recruits. I'd understand a bit more - maybe - if you're trying to find
room for a top 50 kid, but that's kinda lame for a kid who, without the name,
would be a nobody.
