Kyle Cuffe Transferring to Syracuse (5/18/23)

[capeorange]

Between Cuffe and Westry, it seems like we’re clearly going to be looking to pressure the ball proactively more often, going forward.

Apparently the sit back and eventually they will miss open 3's hasn't worked very well lately.

I can't wait to see us really push the tempo and force contested shots.

I think Kyle is one of the only recruits who advanced to the main basketball board without stopping on the recruiting board for a thread there.

Wait till you see a McLeod crossover at the top of the key breaking someone's ankles and sets up a OOP to Cuffe who jumps so high he teabags the rim on a dunk!

 

[Motensocks]

it's pronounced QWEEF. the second is silent .unlike the first. which is noisy.

Not proud to admit it, but we renamed one of my classmates that in h school. He had a squeaky high pitched voice. Dam, I didnt know his real name until junior year! Andres, wherever you are, Big Mick is sorry.

For some reason, Im thinking of the dunk where dion was in high school and just anhialated a guy, and Ronald Mcdonald went nuts.

His hops and dunks are Hami Diallo esque.

and with the 55th pick, the Indiana Pacers select Judah Mintz.

So is this the official end for him?

This has zero to do with Judah.

We have one more scholarship.
We'll carry how many guards?

If Judah comes back, just him. If not, maybe one more.

feeling anymore optimistic on Judah than earlier in the month?

I need some new Cuffe links.

brilliant. Cuff and Link were also the names of Rocky Balboa's turtles. Rock looking down into his turtle bowl/habitat: "How you guys doin' down there? Did anybody move today?"

 

[Dinkyspond]

very multiple.

I think everyone is. There is a decent chance.

Cuffe, Chance and Carey…….guys coming off injuries that haven’t really played ball in a few years that I’m secretly hoping all turn out to be superstars and have a massive impact on Syracuse basketball

 

[50YRsofCuse]

I believe that the future is here for Syracuse in 2023-2024. Red has the resources to put a dent in the ACC and to make the NCAA tournament. After next year, they have Choppa and Don Freeman coming in at a minimum.

With 13 scholarships allocated (counting Mintz) already, who are the candidates that will not come back for 2024-2025? It all depends on who produces and who doesn’t. If someone excels then they may consider moving on.

My guesses:

Judah Mintz if he comes back and improved his distribution skills and outside shooting will be gone.

Benny Williams if he significantly improves will be gone. If he doesn’t improve over the last two years, he will be gone.

One or two of the center projects (Hima Mounir, Peter Carey, Naheem McLoud, Will Patterson) will be gone.

If Chance Westry demonstrates an innate ability to run the team and score, he could be a candidate to leave.

If JJ is an explosive player as he was in high school, he could be gone.

if all four (Starling, Mintz, Westry and Cuffe) guards return, one or both JT and Quadir will be gone.

Anyone else aroused?

It moved

Sounds like RedSox baseball this year.

I absolutely remember that dunk. If that video was made today I’d assume it was a deep fake. Dude hit the rafters on that one!

WE ARE the Syracuse Combo Guards.

Syracuse Basketball. More guards than Shawshank.

Amazing what happens when one of the spots isn’t locked down for 38 mpg no matter what.

 

[Sbucketball]

Starling, Westry, Cuffe, Quadir, Taylor, and maybe Judah is a far cry from 80 minutes of Joe and Buddy.
