Class of 2023 PF Joseph "JP" Estrella (ME / Brewster) Offered

[rrlbees]

Not directly no, but be real, it is all from boosters who do what they are asked to do. Its not like somebody suddenly can not do without a recruit shilling for their company.

“Boosters do what they are asked to do”

Interesting. While there is a collective made up of boosters, you can make them all donate nor donate enormous amounts if they don’t want too. You can’t dictate how someone spends their money.

 

[rrlbees]

What player has credited JB with improving so much he got drafted in the nba recently ? Don’t worry I’ll wait

And yes this actually affected JPs decision

Head coaches don’t live on the court developing individual players. That’s why we, and everyone else, has a guard coach, a coach of the forwards and a coach of the centers. The HC is responsible for developing the team. And they do jump in during team drills if someone is screwing something up.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

So JP is allegedly getting twice as much as Anthony Davis allegedly got to go to UK. What a time to be alive.

 

[rrlbees]

I guess you could also throw in Cole Swider who will be paid a lot of money because he left Jay and came to Syracuse.

Hopefully Jesse too.

 

[Sherman20]

Kids gone who cares the staff did their best.

I care.

 

[the villager]

If it turns out to be 400K there must be a violation in there some place.

Not sure how I missed him.

JP might as well get as much NIL money possible being that he will be a solid college player but a borderline NBA player. His best shot at being a pro will be overseas.

He’s a better NBA prospect than anyone on our roster except maybe Mintz.

True but still borderline.

 

[Scott11]

Why are we still spending time on this kid in this thread? Time to move on.

Downpayment. Just got back from Scarborough area where they live. 750 sq ft house near the beach is going for $1.2 million.

That listing is ocean beach. Thats a bit different than lakefront...Plus it isn't waterfront. Its a bock away.

 

[Hopkins16]

Bitterness, anger, grief....I need time

Let's wish him luck. Hopefully the boy from Maine enjoys his time in Dolly Land. This one is over by all accounts he is Cuse if not for some boosters and coaches in Dolly land breaking the rules. We need to get used to this as its going to continue until there are not only rules but a governing body that can enforce them.

If I'm SUs next Ball coach, I would focus on the portal and save my NIL chest for the retention of existing players.

NCAA doesn't care. I don't get all the UT will get theirs argument as though it excuses our program somehow. They made it clear that their role is much smaller in terms of governance. It's the equivalent of waiving the white flag and saying its not fair so just gotta watch the schools willing - clean up.

 

[DoctorBombay]

Agreed. I'm over it. NEXT!!

I don't get the sour grapes hope for justice either. We, meaning SU, need to get in the game- stop acting like karma will rain moral retribution down on all the "cheaters". It's adorable that some in our fanbase still view things that way, but ultimately wishful thinking. This is how the game is played now.
Dare I say, it's akin to playing a 2-3 zone defense in the Steph Curry Era, and hoping things will work out like they always have in the past. I digress...but the point still stands.

Yep. Spot on.

“If I'm SUs next Ball coach, I would focus on the portal and save my NIL chest for the retention of existing players.”

I agree with this concept very much for a private school like Syracuse. With that being said, what attributes are most important for the next head coach to have? I would think it would be in game tactician and strategist much like UVA Coach Bennett.

With this new NIL big booster reality, I’m interested in the UVM coach John Becker who seems to be a great tactician with a winning head coach track record

 

[Cusedog]

So I guess then still comes the question of what is the issue then? We are a shell of the what we were year in year out for so long. If it's not coaching then how does one explain the sizable drop-off in results and failure on important pieces like JP and Reid?

We should have never left the big east

Yep and a guy like Tommy Amaker has now proven he can coach and win with less in the Ivy League.

It stems from football money lol.

Yeah true. Still prices there are insane. 400 thou probably gets you something in the lakes region.

Programs with boosters that lure in recruits with fat bags of cash will win games. Programs that don't, won't.

That's what will determine who we are in a decade. Everything else is a side show.

And it matters to everyone, even those like JP who say it doesn’t matter to get likeability points. anyone saying it doesn’t matter is just trying to make a good image, but will take the cash at the end of the day. Anyone can be bought if the price is right.
