I'd like to believe it, but isn't that what we said when Dior committed? Or when Bazley signed? We have about a year and a half until we can look forward to seeing Lands in an orange jersey.
You’re a man of your word & I’m so here for it. Doc memes forever.
Okay. Your post is timed pretty coincidentally then.
My belief, or lack thereof, has more to do with the current culture of college basketball than JB. Although, I will admit, I have been down on him lately. I just don't believe a kid is going to show up a year and a half before he's supposed to or that promising players will stick around long enough to get us back to the level you're referencing.
We got some key pieces but not the driver of the bus. We go as far as the number of 3 pointers we hit in games.
So you don't believe that nay top 30 player that verbals 1 1/2 year before their frosh year will make it so any school? Or just us?
Emotionally, just us because we're 0 for the last 2. Logically, I don't trust any commit for anyone this far out because I know it has happened to other schools, teenagers are fickle, and these guys have a lot of people in their ears.
We were 0-2. I think it is safe to say we are 1-3 now.
Speaking of Benny - NIco did a summary of who is coming and who is going and listed Benny at 175? Is that accurate?
175 what? Weight? Ranking?
His coach said in a recent interview in the PS that he thought Benny was currently in the 210-215 range. I think Benny recently said he was around 215 and the SU staff liked the weight he is at now. He is not planning on putting on more weight because of concerns it might affect his quickness and agility.
He’s 210-215. The coaches prefer he stays at that weight and not get heavier.
bowling average.
Two sport athlete!
That's a real solid weight. Q played at 220 this year and has the strength to battle in the ACC. He could've used an extra inch or 2 to maximize his skill set but so be it. Benny at 6'8 and 215 as a Fresh certainly won't be held back from a physical standpoint.His coach said in a recent interview in the PS that he thought Benny was currently in the 210-215 range.
