Message: [QUOTE="CraigForth, post: 857459, member: 4143"] I thought he looked sluggish when closing out. There is more to it than throwing a hand in the air. In my opinion though, that's on the coach. Our coach would "Boeheim" him for that lazy play in a heartbeat and he would eventually learn that not giving 100% on D gives you a spot on the bench. Not closing out is learned behavior. People are talking about him shuffling his feet, the one time I saw him I noticed the same. Again though, footwork can be taught. Ultimately recruiting is not an exact science and you basically have two options if you're Syracuse. Go with the guy with the most upside or go with the guaranteed production with limited upside. The beauty of it is, either option for Syracuse is a 5 star recruit - so who cares. Everything coming up Orange [/QUOTE]
