Message: [QUOTE="50YRsofCuse, post: 3654346, member: 6044"] Like many of our fans, I am impressed with the contributions made by Kadary Richmond. What a difference a day makes. That day was the date when Andre Jackson (one-time guarantee lock to play at Syracuse) committed to play for the UCONN Huskies. Soon after, Syracuse offer Kadary Richmond (a one-time lock for the UCONN Huskies and not really well-known to the Syracuse faithful) who almost immediately accepts (Syracuse wanted him to wait until he visited the campus). Talk about fitting into an ideal situation. Syracuse ends up only having 2 guards returning due to defections and Kadary has requisite ball handling skills and contributes from the start. While Andre Jackson ( a Syracuse fan) thinking (or promised) he will be a starter and major contributor as a 2 Guard from the start at UCONN is sitting on the bench. If Andre Jackson came to Syracuse, his presence on the depth chart may or may not have been a factor in Alan Griffin’s decision to transfer to Syracuse, nor would his skills match up for the point guard needs. A lot of us (posters) were disappointed when Andre was first lost to Syracuse that on the top of losing Isiah Jackson to Kentucky. Then we got commitments from Kadary and through transfer in by Alan Griffin and another late commitment by Frank Anselem (who has a lot of potential as a defensive force). Man, we went from a punch in a gut recruiting situation to a so far nice, real nice situation. If Syracuse ended up with Andre Jackson (whom I still like his potential and explosiveness), we would not have had the depth and skill level at the guard positions that now exists. Perhaps we would have had reached out to Howard Washington and/or Brendan Paul off the transfer portal to serve as the third guard. Funny how things worked out for the best for Syracuse. [/QUOTE]
