Class of 2022 PF Maliq Brown (VA) COMMITTED/SIGNED TO SYRACUSE

[OttoinGrotto]

People said the same about Newton and he left.

I mean... I think Woody was done dirty.

Basically the program wasn't ready for him to contribute, and we run stuff rigidly, so him being ahead of schedule was a problem.

A very stupid problem that shouldn't be a problem... but you know how we do.

It didn't help that Woody got immediate time right away, played great, than didn't see the floor

Yup.

 

[SUOrangeSU]

Where's Cole going? He sure hasn't set the world on fire.

He’s telling people in the program that the plan is 1 year then start a pro career. He’ll make it over in europe just fine

 

[dasher]

Hence why I wish we would pocket the scholarships, and say thanks but no thanks to both Bunch and Brown. Cole is coming only for 1 year, Jimmy Jr will be gone. There's a slot for a possible 35minute stud forward

I would be very happy if we got Bunch.

 

[OrangeDW]

Believe the last recent pure power forwards we had was Chris McCullough in 2015, Jerami Grant in 2013-2014 and Rick Jackson in late 2000s. The first two were only with the Cuse 1 year and 2 years respectively.
To me, CJ Fair and Tyler Lydon played more SF and C rather PF.

He wasn’t a star but Roberson was a PF.

Played an unsung role on that ‘16 final four team.

 

[OrangeDW]

No stud transfer forward is gonna come here with Benny, Taylor, Cole if he returns, possibly bunch. High level transfers want to be the guy on their team 90 percent of the time and that will be Benny.

If Benny is here as a soph, we won’t need a stud forward to come here for that year...

He did test positive for Covid somewhere in there.

 

[OrangeDW]

He did test positive for Covid somewhere in there.

He did. But so did Joe and Buddy, I think? Or was Joe’s before the season?

He didn’t seem to buy it that he should be shut down for the rest of the year for it. Felt like an excuse, frankly.

I know we would’ve had to do things differently than normal, but kid looked good enough to get regular minutes from everything I saw.

Curious to see how he does at Ok. state.

Kid is built. Hope we get him!

Yeah dude has some size we have been seriously lacking. With Cary and this guy we could morph into one of our better rebounding team in years. Nice combo of aggression and size with both.

I’m curious too. I don’t think any of us really know how badly and for how long Covid affected a particular player. As far as him wanting to play, I’d expect nothing less from the caliber player we bring in.

cole and Jimmy too

 

[Orangezoo]

Could this kid be like what we hoped from Diagne? I remember how that whole thing went awry and was such a bummer. Kid is solid and a legit PF body.

[kcsu]

We have been so weak inside for the last 3-5 years. Its great to see us add some strength.

[IthacaMatt]

Like Woody Newton??

Obviously you have to play them for them to feel like they have a future here.

 

[jordville]

Lots of current and future Orangemen crootin'...

Earl Thickburger? But that's just a totally wild guess.
