He’s 6’9” and 235lbs. Doesn’t fit our profile for PF. If he were 5’11” and 235lbs, now we’re talking PG.

Or 6'9" and 135lbs = anchor the zone baby!! Just imagine the corner 3 closeouts!!

If he was 6-9 135lbs -- JB would have offered him his sophomore year of HS, selling him on being the "next Chukwu or Marek.

Okay, What is the 911 information on Syracuse and Jai Smith? He is a 2022 recruit with a ton of offers and is in Syracuse’s backyard.

Did Syracuse do him wrong like Isiah Stewart and did not give him an autograph when he was 8 years old?

He is ranked 149th in the country by 2x7 sports as a 4 Star with 40 offers. He does have a lower rating (.927) vice BH-H (.997) but some schools seem to want him). He has the size and weight (if accurate) for a PF.

It’s gonna look pretty silly when this kid has an offer from EVERY P5 program.

Except Syracuse.

Except Syracuse.

Maybe he told SU he was not interested. He’s bounced around quite a bit.

You know he's just gonna transfer back here in a few years anyways.

I don't think that's it.

You guys realize most of his offers are fake right? Some random 3 star just doesn't get 65 offers lmao. He's not that good

 

[Orangezoo]

Interesting how you have Smith in our backyard with seemingly everyone except us getting buzz and then you have Taylor in UVA's backyard and it's lukewarm. Presuming the Filip brothers are hot on our radar might also be in play here?

There's truth in the middle. Someone that's 6'10" and 235 is automatically going to get a lot of looks, and he is much bigger and better than lagged rankings suggest. Let's see how this plays out later this spring and summer, but I'm pretty confident he ends up in the back half of the top 100 of the '22 class.

So is the assumption that he’s making up his offers?
