I love that he says Syracuse is recruiting him the hardest. I wish more recruits, especially more highly rated ones, would say that. He also mentions Washington, with Hop being the only coach he mentions by name.
For what it's worth, verbalcommits has him at 3.5 stars, instead of the 3 elsewhere. He seems like the typical Orange recruit, a very high ceiling, but no idea if he will manifest as a finished product.
Excited he will be on campus next Friday, but honestly with the limited number of available scholarships, I'm wondering how excited I should be. Even with his upside, I'm not sure which other recruits I'd be excited to see crossed off the list if he signs, although other seasons I'd be stoked either way. Does anyone else have mixed emotions on this? I get that "girl you have a strong feeling you can get" vs your top picks type of feeling about this.
While I'm at it, with a new coach for the bigs, any chance things may return closer to how they were before Hop took over that spot? Yeah, I'm not looking for cheap "likes" on this post, fellas.
