Class of 2025 PG Acaden Lewis (DC) Offered

Seems like Lewis has a thing for the color blue, as long as it comes with a ton of green.

I just love Tillerry's overall game. I'm not saying anything about best or better. That's subjective.

I hear you. At the end of the day, if we land Tillery and he’s part of a 4 year growth process for this program and Lewis has one foot out the door from day one…Syracuse basketball will be better off.

You can’t plan on anyone sticking around for four years. You focus on putting the best team on the floor this year. Lewis makes us a much better team. All you need to know is the final four schools he’s involved with compared to Wake and Cincy for Tillery. I’d go all in for Ripley next year.

I agree, you can't count on how long a guy will be around. But, if a guy is thinking NBA in year one, he is less likely to buy in to the TEAM year one and beyond. A guy that is thinking TEAM first year one, is more likely to contribute to success in year one and beyond, especially year 3 and 4.
 
Lewis recruiting is getting interesting. UCONN is about to get their second guard committment in the past two weeks. Carolina signed Dixon and the Boozer twins will announce soon. If they end up at Duke and not Miami, that only leaves Kentucky for Lewis. Who knows who else they are recruiting. I wonder if SU is still having some contact with Lewis. It would be a wonderful surprise if something changes.

Miami? How is old ass Larranaga recruiting this like in his elder years but JB somehow couldn’t? Plus their facilities leave a lot to be desired. I get that some people view South Florida as paradise (I don’t at all), but this is still mystifying that he landed Bethea and could possibly get these two.

JB is stubborn in his ways, Larranaga adapted. Also, they stay mostly with their Mom who lives in Miami.

Larranaga was on the cusp of being fired after a couple of subpar seasons. He worked with the AD and others to determine what it would take for the program to right the ship and be successful, and his superiors made it clear that they wanted NIL and the transfer portal to be the emphasis. Miami has high profile boosters, so they have lots of money, and a nice environment that young people dig, and rather than reject the portal like some old school coaches, he embraced it.

Because his job was on the line.

Now, turning to lewis, I'm not suggesting he's going to pick miami. But if you're a kid like him, you probably figure that you're going to be a one and done before jumping to the nba, or max 2 years. So you're probably thinking, the weather will be great, there's beautiful women, not a bad place to spend a year or two while I'm getting paid.

Wasn’t Miami only mentioned in reference to Boozer twins? Or is Miami a finalist for Lewis too?

Got it. Thanks. I thought Miami’s NIL wasn’t as great after that Ruiz guy’s company went belly up.

Btw, it’s the Boozer twins who have Miami in their final two along with Duke. Not Acaden Lewis. But if the twins pick Duke and UConn landed another guard, maybe we could still have a shot at Lewis since they’ll have their PGs.

Pwong, didn’t realize that the Boozer twins’ mom lives in Miami. Now I see why they’re a finalist.

Duke moved their grandmother from Alaska to NC so she could be near her son (and got her a job!). I’m sure they could get a crash pad for mom and dad near Raleigh-Durham. ;)

The best teams Triche, GMac, and Dion played on all had Point Guards. (MCW, Scoop, and Billy)

Gbinje kinda figured out the perfect combo guard contributions by the end of his SR year, his 5th year in college.

Freshman combo guards in 2024, just seems like a red X to me.

This reminds me of the year (?) where we had 3 guys playing PG, and JB was asked, 'who is your PG?', JB's response was, 'we don't have a PG', a few games later that same question was asked and JB's response was, 'who ever has the ball in their hands', a few games later, JB was asked the same question and his response was, 'Scoop is our PG'.
 
Boozer twins to Duke. Is there any chance Lewis re-considers Cuse?
