Class of 2020 SG/SF Nate Kingz (OR) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (4/2/25)

[Franz69]

So far nothing that is relevant to what we need. We have all the high20% low 30% 3pt shooters we need. K. Anthony good shooter but so was Choppa. Tough for freshman to get used to size and speed. Need at least 2 40% is 3 Pt shooters probably wing and PG

Kingz shot 44.6% from three point range this season.

 

[2B20Again]

How is Kingz not relevant? Some people on this board have lost their minds acting like we have our pick of perfect players.

Not referring to Kings. Love kings. Speaking to mostly guards with low D ratings and poor 3pt %. Just going by what I’ve read. I saw one good defender at G no everyone shooters and PG’s mentioned had lots of warts. Didn’t mean to imply SU would get 4 5star players but after this past season need to buy up. All just opinion on my part, again no expert. Everyone saw what Easy Bargain Center spending produced. Statements have been made saying SU has the funding. Just hoping to see it.

 

[2B20Again]

I suspect you haven’t watched Kingz video. He seems to be a really dynamic offensive player who isn’t a ball hog. Scored 12 ppg on only 8 shots per game. Needless to say, that’s insanely efficient.

Kingz 100%. I was speaking of guards with very unimpressive stats. Again KingZ great.

 

[W'boro'Cuse315]

Maybe Oregon St. assistant Stevie Thompson puts in a good word for us here. No real connection to Red, who came to SU the year after Stevie graduated, but I’m sure they met each other during visits.

What’s up with the Oregon St court having WCC and PAC 12 logos?

Temp membership in the WCC for 2024-25.

They're getting the PAC back together for 2025-26.

 

[Cusefan69]

So this player at this early stage seems like a critical get. You can at least start to envision some things next year in a positive way with this guys "game " as part of the mix. Do we feel optimistic board insiders or more 50/50 at this point for this guy?

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Who knows how reliable?

Sources?

 

[Niastri]

Who knows how reliable?

He reads this board… We all know how reliable dasher is when he makes a hint.

After last portal season, I resolved to never watch video of a guy we were “supposed” to get.

I guess I trust dasher enough, cause I watched Kingz’ video.

This guy trusts him enough to tweet it. We all pay homage in our own way.

Can you really trust a Mets fan?

Tread lightly. We’re a hardened bunch.

Hey now….

 

[RF2044]

Would be cool

 

[Cusefan0307]

A kingz commitment would make me go 6 to 12 instantly.

 

[Scott11]

He has not committed

 

[rrlbees]

Who knows how reliable?

Don’t know how legit he is but looking at his posting history, it looks like he had both jj and Donnie returning 2 days before it was announced.

 

[dasher]

I have not had any confirmation about Kingz. Not yet. Weekends are rough. Plus, coaches are on the road. I would not be surprised if one was visiting Kingz.

 

[Cusefan69]

Tread lightly. We’re a hardened bunch.

 

[Orangefizz]

If Kingz commits do we see him starting in a three guard lineup?

 

[phil77]

Yes

 

[hoopsupstate]

He would be a great pickup and a huge need for three point shooting.

 

[IthacaMatt]

Shocked if RJ Luis doesn’t go pro. Not sure if getting players with multiple years of eligibility is much of an advantage as every year is a renegotiation.

He said portal, not entering the draft, in his statement on Twitter.

 

[IthacaMatt]

They change their names the way I change my underwear...once every two years.

Well, if he was a foster kid, he may have had several sets of parents (it seems to frequently work out that way) and he was using the last name of his last foster parents. Maybe he feels like that's not really his family. Understandable.

Can you really trust a Mets fan?

Exactly why I do
