Class of 2022 Jai Smith (Ludden / NC)

[Trueblue25]

I'm not sure we are in the Mac sweepstakes. I like being involved with Jai...I might get crucified for this and he was a polarizing player for us but he reminds me of Tyler Roberson a bit.

Roberson won us a game vs Duke so I like him

When SU doesn't offer local guys at this level,there is a reason.
For Micheal Brown the backcourt was full (Anthony Harris and Z Sims)
For Marcus Douthit, (I believe it was him, rather than Steve Wright) my understanding is that it was family concerns that the kid was afraid would come out if he played here.
Steve Wright, I don't know.

Will Cuse offer? Seems like a good PF and can pitch in at center?

Quite a stat line for Jai...
Offers continue to stack up for him.

Why aren’t we offering? Benny could be one and done. And if he’s not, he and Benny would make for an amazing back line of the zone. Does anyone have inside info on why we haven’t offered?

For the same reason we "didn't offer" Jimmer.

There are only so many scholarships to go around, and you can only have so many guys at the same position.
Referencing Jimmer - we already had Jonny AND Scoop in that class.

But people love to keep bitching and moaning that we shoulda also offered Jimmer.
Why would he have come here? To be the 3rd guard in that class??

We've got Woody now. We'll have Benny next year.
And we will surely get another in the '22 class.
How many 's do we need to have??
And - how many would be willing to come here to roll the dice on whether JB gives them PT?

I get what you’re saying. But isn’t Jai class of 2022? Benny feasibly could be gone.

Definitely agree on Jimmer.

But is Newton that level of prospect? I hope so. We still have Quincy as only a soph too, and IMO he should be here for awhile. Unless he suddenly becomes a 3 point shooter.

C’mon you’re not blessed or excited about that St John’s offer, you can admit it.

Did Syracuse ever offer Jai Smith? If no, will he count as a home town player that leaves Syracuse for greener pastures? Just Another one that We can count as have gotten away.
