[ORRange]

Local kid has put on a show lately. Francis/others does this player have a chance to play D1 ?

Just did some research. Seems like he should be a D1 player but I'm not sure if he's a SU quality of recruit at 6'0 155lbs in the 2015 class.

 

[SWFLCUSE]

I don't really see us bringing in guys who are under 6'2 unless they are a transcendent talent. Since Flynn the guards that have came in are;
Triche 6'3
Dion 6'4
MCW 6'5
Cooney 6'4
Ennis 6'2
Patterson 6'3

It seems to me that we are recruiting more length in recent years and we have seen positive effects on the defensive side of the ball thanks to it.

FYI, Jordan goes to school with my son and I was asking everyone's thoughts on his chances to play Div 1. I didn't say anything about playing at SU. Thanks in advance.

I think he can play D1. Would be a good fit at a school like UB, Siena, Manhattan, Binghamton, Rutgers, etc.

kid was putting up 30-40 a game in the state playoffs. i think he can play D1.

I was just piggybacking off of Francis saying he wasn't sure if he was a Syracuse quality recruit. I never said he couldn't be a D1 player, in fact he seems like a very solid player that should play somewhere at the next level, especially with another year to grow/improve.

Hurts having my school in the same conversation as Rutgers.

My bad totally. I should have explained better in original post.

 

[jgeorge322]

someone should mention that his head coach is kevin king, who played in a FF at syracuse.

My bad. Low blow to the Mighty UB.

Well TB, if Jordan were to choose UB then I'd be forced to become a UB fan. Think how much I'd hurt.

they nearly made the tournament

 

[patcuse]

Jordon just started receiving d1 offers. Eastern Michigan and Bucknell so far

How long do you think they can hang on to Hurley?

 

[AirForceOrange]

I am happy for the kid and my high school alma mater!! Go Warriors!!!

 

[Trueblue25]

2 more years.

They'll make the tournament in '15/'16, shock some people, then Hurley will head out.

UB has a great freshman guard, Shannon Evans, that'll do big things here in time. They're improving.

Air Force orange, you went to Westhill? What you did you graduate?

When will the first Mighty Taco open in Syracuse? I sense an M Street location coming before the first ACC tourney in Brooklyn.

IMO He can play D-1 , He has put on tremendous performances in Big games the last 2 years He reminds me of Kid Kohls (In the sense of the quickness he gets his jump shot off) I have never been a Westhill Fan but he can make you one.

The amount of money I've spent on Buffito's is disgusting.

 

[BIGfanPG]

He has a got the quickness and ability to play D1. He might not be the biggest guy, but he holds his own against the big guys in both school and AAU. If he worked on his ball handling, he could be even better. His pull up jumper is almost unstoppable, and his form is perfect. Gain 20lbs, and he could go to a bigger school IMO. Only time will tell!

Jordan Roland (2015/Westhill/Syracuse Select)
A scoring guard from Syracuse, NY, Westhill High School’s Jordan Roland has received some interest from Patriot League school’s and holds an offer from Lafayette. He’s also received interest from Bucknell and Marist in the MAAC, and hopes his interest will pick up from a low division I level.

“I played pretty well in front of a lot of big kids,” Roland said after a loss to Carolina Wolves. “Seventh Woods, or whatever, so hopefully I opened some eyes. It was good to know that you can open up eyes. I’ve played in front of people before, we’ve all played in front of people before so there’s really no difference.”
