Or is it the other way around? The guys we trot out there look and are SO raw. Comical often. They also don’t get the ball. I don’t know for certain just playing Devil’s advocate.
I was actually playing devils advocate to your position. But based on the fact we have had solid post players previously and have fed them accordingly, i believe my position is the stronger one.
Could be. I would hope these kids would remember watching Rak. Or the staff shows tape of him. Who knows.
I guess if you have knowledge that were being negatively recruited against using this argument, then sure, show them the tape of rak, or rick jackson, or onuaku. Hell, throw seikaly in there.
Okafor can't guard your grandmother.I guess if you have knowledge that were being negatively recruited against using this argument, then sure, show them the tape of rak, or rick jackson, or onuaku. Hell, throw seikaly in there.
Or you could tell them nba teams dont really draft back to the basket guys anymore, and we can help with other skills. Okafor for duke had a great back to the basket game. Hes a flop.

I would expect there would be negative recruiting. Every game our Centers do something unbelievably comical at this level of college basketball. A “what are you doing?” scenario. I mean no kid knows about or cares who Jackson and Onuaku are I bet but if that’s what it takes then so be it! Seikaly! Man, he had that quick second jump where he would just power up and dunk it hard. Saw him in Miami once a few years ago.
And I would expect any kid that is a high level center and deserving of being fed is going to look at our center play and say, "Those guys don't get used because they aren't good, not because Syracuse won't use a competent player that plays that position." Isaiah Stewart isn't looking at our guys and saying if I go there they are going to turn me into a skinny bean pole who can't catch a pass and can't dunk on an unguarded basket if I do catch the pass.
I think this discussion is way overplayed.
For sure re: your last paragraph. The game has changed. But these guys can’t make a basic simple play under the basket more often than not. It’s unreal, truly.
this kid would be my go to for anchoring my zone, wanted this kid bad even back in the 2016 cycle.I think we immediately grab this guy if we don’t get Wahab!! Any thoughts?
Correct. Cmon, kids aren’t clueless. They know who can do something with the ball and who can’t.And I would expect any kid that is a high level center and deserving of being fed is going to look at our center play and say, "Those guys don't get used because they aren't good, not because Syracuse won't use a competent player that plays that position."

Draymond Green and Zach Randolph say hi.Right. Michigan State has Jaren Jackson Jr in the league. The hat’s it. When did they become big Man U?

Draymond plays in the post? Maybe on defense.
Zach Randolph hasn’t set foot on a court all season.
