Could Dior Johnson

[Trueblue25]

recruitments like this make the story of Dion’s recruitment all the more interesting to me

 

[Cusefan0307]

He won’t play at Oregon.

 

[Orangezoo]

To me, there's no question that as NLI moves forward, Oregon and it's Nike direct connection will benefit.

Yep. I believe Oregon is quite flexible with academic requirements too compared to some schools. Even then is Dior really passing up 1.5M and getting his school work up to par?

 

[CardiacCuse]

SportsCenter picked up his commit to Oregon...seems pretty official (for now)

 

[Jake]

Meh. Don’t really care. Never thought he would set foot on campus here. Will be interesting if the Ducks pull some shenanigans and get him eligible.

wouldn’t be surprised if the kid ends up signing a Nike shoe deal and this commitment was part of it.

 

[Scott11]

He's Bazley II for me which basically means i'm not a fan but don't really care. Hard to think there was ever going to be a happy ending here with this kid. Would rather have one of the three we are recruiting who won't come to the program thinking they are doing us a favor by gracing us with their presence for 5 months and will think team first, not personal brand.

 

[Jake]

Staff really messed this one up. I don’t care what time he’s calling you, do the job you’re paid to do and close him. Absolutely ridiculous

We’ve screwed up a few, but this isn’t one of them.

I'm so over this guy,

It would really stink if he plays a minute in college

He will play. But at very least we have shooters at the guard spot. We don’t need quickness , defense ,athleticism or NBA talent on the team..we are good

Have you not followed any of this around Dior? And he will play college you know exactly how?

Yeah...but we also don't need "me-first" prima donnas who want to be coddled.
We're Syracuse basketball. If you don't wanna come here, that's fine. We'll survive.

we had players here that went with to multiple schools and went to the NBA

 

[Orangezoo]

Watch

So you think we failed with Dior? What did we do wrong? Oh and how you getting him to manage to step foot on campus?

 

[Gotothehole]

Yup all we need is good character kids good citizens from the same family

 

[Cusefan0307]

Some opinions are bad.

If you think that the multiple schools issue is the whole story... Well go read the Dior thread. Several people added a lot more around what a mess this was.

 

[DoctorBombay]

Excuses don’t win

Good troll. But I stand by my statement. Win or lose, we want kids here who want to be here, not begged. His choice. Power to him.

There are going to be issues with these kids you have to work through it to get to the fruit.

I guess they should have hired you to be his chaperone and handler. You have it all figured out. Sounds like you know how to bring a top 5 class in every year.

Say what you want …middle of the pack is middle of the pack. Look at who left the team? Did we get better?

 

[HyattsCuse]

The NBL route seems like a no brainer. Get paid and the league has shown it can help these kids get to the NBA. I spent a month in New Zealand and a week in Australia. I'd be doing cartwheels if someone gave me $1.2 million to live down there for a year.

 

[DoctorBombay]

There are going to be issues with these kids you have to work through it to the fruit. It’s growing up

***IN before you change the post***

And I guess you're right to assume that that WASN'T what the staff did, or tried to do, all-knowing-one?

Not assuming anything

What part of the 22 class and where things are headed looks like middle of the pack? Once again let's hear it from the answer man

 

[Trueblue25]

Anyone with “most hated” tatood on them will have fun threads like this.

Headed is right .. we allways have a monster class lined up..Until….
