Class of 2025 PF Chris Cenac Jr. (LA / Link) Offered

[PauliePeppas]

I see some of the 25 kids are releasing final schools lists. Any idea if Chris will do the same soon and if we have a shot to be on it? I would love to see him paired up with Sadiq.

Put in as much effort as anyone, pretty sure we will get a visit but ya never know

Agreed. SU coaches are definitely putting in the work for guys like Chris, Kiyan, Acaden, Jordan Smith in 2026, etc. May not prevail for some of them, but it won't be for a lack of recruiting aggressively.

I love the effort. Very real chance, although hoping it’s not the case - that we don’t land Chris, Acaden, or Jordan. Who is 1B on each is what I want to know. JIC.

Crazy how it's like gambler's row. Do you take a kid who is ranked higher or lower on your board that will commit or wait it out for a higher ranked kid to string you along and you don't know.

People will be mad if coaches don’t recruit the high ranked kids. People will be mad if they don’t get the high ranked kid. People will be mad if they land a lower ranked kid saying they should get more higher ranked kids. The cycle never ends until you land them with consistency but at least they are trying unlike years past

Yes, I would agree. I also think the landing of them is happening with much more frequency than anything post-2016.

The Fine situation must have really spooked JB, or his appetite to fight for recruits really diminished.

Man, seems like Straughn worked so hard on this recruitment(traveled to crazy far places) and to not make the top 12 blows.

 

[cuseallday]

Man, I agree. This is disappointing. Dude went to Turkey to watch Chris play. Wow. Little surprised by this.

Feel like he went there to watch Smith Jr. and Cenac happened to be there as well. This is more indicative of Cuse's reputation the last 8-10 years and not really ever featuring bigs. That may all change over the next couple of years.

There will be plenty more Cenac's in future grad classes. Can't expect a team that hasn't made the tournament in a couple of years to land everyone. Just have to keep plugging away and good things will happen.

 

[UpstateSM]

Wasn't a take

Oh, totally agree, Straughn was there for Smith as well. And I definitely don't think SU is gonna land every target, agree with you there. Recruiting is still on the uptick...definitely agree regarding big men.

 

[Bulldog04]

Wow that is completely shocking on all fronts.

 

[Giants1973]

That's ok . Time to hit Transfer portal for Center next yr.

 

[jordville]

Surprised we didn’t make a Top 12, but this was a long shot. We have our PF in Sadiq. Chris has the size/body to play some center at the next level, but he wants to play the 4. Let’s land Kiyan, Acaden, and one of the three SFs we’re after!

 

[cuseallday]

Wasn't a take

Yeah, I hear ya. He's only up to No. 5 nationally, so definitely not a take

I think Kiyan might end up as a sf

 

[cuseallday]

Totally agree, already at 6-foot-5, could see him on the wing as a SF for sure...

Wait, wasn't Louisville ( who has sucked badly for the last 3-4 years at least) in his top 12?

New coach and much improved warchest

 

[DilemaCuse]

Bummer, in years past you might try to go back to a Matt Gilhool but now just go for a veteran forward from the portal

 

[jordville]

Down to 7…

 

[Bulldog04]

Lotta money in that final 7. Makes sense
