Message: [QUOTE="50YRsofCuse, post: 5040475, member: 6044"] While Donavan is a player that has a lot of potential and can be looked at as the best recruit since Carmelo, I strongly suggest we not to compare/label him to or as the next Carmelo. We were all pleasantly surprised when Carmelo arrived at Syracuse and exceeded the higher expectations of even the more knowledgeable Syracuse insider. Won’t say he was a one of a kind player but he was definitely close to that label as that season played out. l believe we the fans had high expectations for Benny Williams when he first arrived at Syracuse. While there were an occasional glimpse of talented player, for the most part we were disappointed that he never reached the level. Let’s look forward to Donnie Freeman playing at Syracuse and develop his own brand. Let’s not raise expectations so high to burden him with the label of the next Carmelo Anthony. [/QUOTE]
