Class of 2023 PF/C Drew Fielder (CA) Offered

Weitsman stepping up is going to make a difference moving forward.

You guys who think NIL fixes everything aren’t paying attention.

Okay, the Fielder recruitment is over. He isn't going to visit. I feel very secure in telling everyone here that the staff is stunned. And Fielder has never met JB. I doubt he ever will now. I really believe that if he visited here Friday night, with that football game, with his visit to JB's home, and all the rest, he commits here.

Never even met the kid? So, basically, I'm not going to you, you come to me, kid.

Didn’t say it would fix everything, just that it would help. Certainly it won’t hurt.

Lol. Heard this before too.

Heard what?

Yeah, but I think we're in that phase where it's all about eliminating excuses.

What makes you think he is going to step any larger than he already does?

Adam Weitsman, SU’s biggest athletic booster, wants to draw 5-star players with eye-popping NIL offer

Weitsman said he decided to explore the NIL space after consulting with several people about what is permissible.

JB thinks his HOF credentials and the program’s history are enough to get kids to commit without him ever personally interacting with them.

The staff should be numb to being stunned by now. It is becoming a common occurrence.

JB has gotten to the point that he believes his own BS. Not a good place to be. Time to work on the putting

Staff being caught off guard.

 

[pwong]

Relationship with the head coach seems to be important

Agreed. It seems like they are out of touch with what's happening on the recruiting trail, to put it mildly.

 

[Cuse'91]

At some point, you just stop feeling the pain of the rejections.

 

[UpstateSM]

I feel stupid for thinking that Judah was anything but a lucky blip in our recruiting

 

[Cuse1055]

Has he already been offering $1 million to 5 star recruits that we didn’t know about? If so, it doesn’t seem to be working unless Judah is one.

I was thinking more like, bringing in a Carmelo Anthony type, to put us over the top for a NC.

As I mentioned in the other threads the big concern I had for this class is lack of options. We literally had NO backup plan. Fielder was
Land the plane in the Hudson plan

 

[DilemaCuse]

Some good posts here
From my distant perspective it seems like the staff doesn't realize that w the performance decline they need to work twice as hard and outwork their competition. Just resting on your name isn't going to cut it today.

 

[hoopsupstate]

The entire coaching staff is living off the past and have too high of opinion of themselves.

I'm probably guilty of that too. Still living in the Beast of the East mentality.

 

[albanycuse]

Jimmy hasn’t learned yet that the recruits actually want their potential head coach involved and to show face.

My son says Estrella mentioned how good our players where when he visited and maybe he thought the chance to play a lot was not looking good. A similar situation could be true of Drew after seeing Providence .He could see a starting position.

It seems our program is fundamentally broken. JB appears to be operating in his own universe.
