Nate George is the Key.  He is an unrecruited and unranked prospect that grew up in Toronto and played his way into being the starting point guard at G Tech.  He has 2 years left of college ball and has got better year after year.

Below is from ESPN which as others have said has no love for SU and rightfully so lately.  #24 ranked player in portal and top 10 PG depending on where you look.

[B][I]Outlook with Syracuse: [/I][/B][I]George was one of the best point guards in the ACC last season, leading the league in assists, and he'll stay in the conference with the Orange. He should combine with [URL='https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4683697/jj-starling']J.J. Starling[/URL] to form one of the better backcourts in league, and with [URL='https://www.espn.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/252660/kiyan-anthony']Kiyan Anthony[/URL] and [URL='https://www.espn.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/252246/sadiq-white']Sadiq White[/URL] entering the program, those assist numbers should remain high.

[B]Pre-commitment analysis:[/B] George is one of the highest-ceiling point guards in the portal. He averaged 12.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 6.5 assists, leading the ACC in the latter category. He had five 20-point outings over a six-game stretch in the middle of league play.[/I]

He is the opposite of what we have had on this team at the point guard position for years.  I've said many times from day 1 on campus he is the Captain and leader of this team.

The Vegas tourney is over Thanksgiving, if we go out there and Nate George is as advertised then we'll be on our way.
