Class of 2020 PF Woody Newton (MD) COMMITTED/SIGNED TO SYRACUSE

[jordville]

Relax. Kid can play. EYBL numbers haven't been impressive thus far.. I get that. But there are a couple things to keep in mind... 1. Team Takeover is one of the best if not the best teams in the EYBL and they are deep again this year. He starts but the bench gets their share of run too. Very balanced team that shares the ball. Most of their games will have guys 5 or 6 guys in double figures. 2. Woody's minutes were limited in Atlanta (undisclosed injury).

Woody has game. Very good athletic wing/forward (3/4) that can create off the dribble.. Woody's biggest strength right now probably is his slashing ability and making plays and opportunities for his teammates. He has a nice stroke and can score from all three levels despite the percentages you've seen through 2 EYBL sessions. Woody is a good defender too. With his combination of size, skill, and athletic ability he can play either forward position and guard multiple spots. Versatile kid.

I hope he improves. He's really struggled in the EYBL so far this season.

Dont beat on Woody

What happened to our other PF target Noah Collier? Are we still pursuing him too?

I wish we still had a guy that was 6’14”

I wish we still had a guy that was 6’14”

I'd settle for 6'7 bigs if they were over 180lbs and had any kind of offensive ability instead of theoretical zone ability.

 

[cuseinseattle]

I like this kids game and I feel like people were saying he was continuing to improve and has upside. Haven't watched a lot of tape on him but he is 6'8" 190 pounds.

 

[SUOrangeSU]

Staff is predicting Q will be 1 and done...or at the very least 2 and done...so woody and Dreday are next in line

 

[TacoTime75]

Meth ball picks rolling in

Slow down. Jerami is still growing.

 

[jgeorge322]

Slow down. Jerami is still growing.

Slow down. Jerami is still growing.

Only thing that’s growing on Jerami these days is his wallet

There are worse things a player could aspire to.

 

[cliftonparksufan]

Need to show Woody some love. He's announcing on Tuesday and other sites are saying it's a done deal for Cuse. Hope so.

Who was the main recruiter on this one?

Atwood was saving his best for last apparently...
3 for 3 from downtown. Also added 1 steal and 1 block.

Have you seen him live or any recent video of his jump shot? I saw a workout video, that I assume was a couple of years old, and the firm was scary.

 

[kcsu]

Woody is going to be a star for cuse. He is just coming into his own.

Yes, I saw him live most recently at Session 1 in Atlanta. His J looks solid. Numbers to this point don't exactly show that, but he can score it from all 3 levels. Known more as a slasher that can get his own or create for others. Can also step out and knock down 3s to keep the D honest. 2-way player that can play either forward spot and guard multiple positions. Long and athletic so you know he'll fit well in the zone.
