Jesse Edwards in portal and transfers to WVU

[Biaxtar]

You are telling me the team who had the more significant bid was West Virginia. Syracuse got outbid by West Virginia.

I think the fact that are athletes are living with a roommate at Skytop shows that this is Administration and recent AD's are stuck in 2000's era. None of this has to to due with NIL and I'm not saying we should build a $40mm dorm to house our revenue generating athletes (men and woman) to avoid any title IV issues. But this school has had a cash cow for several decades and paid it's HoF coach a home town discount. The only time we reinvested was when there was a the threat of Dome roof collapsing. Old Manley was a dump and needed to be to torn down and those were private contributions that allowed for the Melo Center to happen. Anytime you wonder what will SU do ask yourself this, how will it impact our bottom line? I knew Red or GMAC would be the next head coach just by looking at our history.

Hunter Dickinson better be Orange or What are we doing

I’m sure those hillbillies would have zero issues taking Adam Weitsman’s money.

What a change of events...we go from talking about a high profile transfer coming with the coach hire to nothing...thinking judah is staying (still a possibility) to talk that he's out of here and now Jesse bouncing due to NIL issues...now looking to replace Jesse with Abou Ousman from North Texas and not Hunter Dickinson. It's been a wild ride this offseason already!

If we couldn't keep Jesse because Weitsman's out and the NIL bag reserves are too light, I have a hard time believing we'll be able to offer up what's necessary to get Dickinson or another high profile center from the portal...

Who knows but also sounds like Boeheim has his work cut out for him on the fundraising side of things... as in we need a new sugardaddy.

If we ever cross paths in an airport bar, Huggins is getting an earful!

 

[phil77]

We lost one of our best players to Fing West Virginia because of an NIL deal? Nobody had that on a bingo card Nobody can spin this real bad look

 

[Orangezoo]

What are we doing

Exactly

 

[Cusefan69]

He is visiting West effin Virginia? OMFG LOL. They are the ones with the high bid that is also international compliant? Well ain't that a m_ther f_cker. If I was not on my phone I would be giphing the hell out of this.

 

[Orangezoo]

Smh. Scrubby school in the middle of nowhere that we beat 90% of the time.

Unbelievable. What are we doing?

So that B12 school rumor... smells like we found who may have tampered...

Look, sometimes there are a lot of coins in those couch cushions, aight?

Not defending Shrekli, but I think Weitsman was connected to him via a mentor program. Not sure he sought the connection out.

Could have helped him out without blabbing about it on insta. Showed incredibly poor judgment.

Could have helped many other previously incarcerated with re-entry that weren’t worth tons of money as well.

They also got Kerr Kriisa from the portal. He is from Estonia. It seems like they have no problem with finding money for international players...

Kerr has never seen a shot he doesn’t like. He’s like if Kelly Oubre were crossed with Philip Seymour Hoffmann character from Along Came Polly. Every Arizona fan was worried about him.

WV has the Walter White collective going for them...

Yup. And didn’t do as much damage to society as Martin. That one really pissed me off. There’s doing good and then they’re just stuff that shows…he has no idea what the hell he is doing.

 

[Cuse4455]

This all just feels like a sick joke... Nightmare... Idk I'm speechless

I’m actually surprised so many people support him in full and without question on this board.

Morgantown makes Syracuse look like NYC. Yikes. There’s fewer more depressing places in America than that triangle in southwestern PA, WV and southeastern Ohio. Wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

Could be worse.

At least WVA is a bigger school by a few thousand undergrads...

At least it's not Gtown... they are half our size under 8K undergrads.

Hey don't hate! That's a free state where you can marry your cousin without anyone taking issue with it.

So Jesse's status as an international student prevents him from taking advantage of NIL options in the United States, but other schools can still find him money??? Typical SU.
