Class of 2019 PG Dakota Leffew (GA) Portal to Georgia

[Cusesky8214]

What a kick in the Richard this would be if our main priority target goes elsewhere. Hope we made a good impression and the staff has a solid back up plan just in case. (I'm sure they do)

Nova did just land the Penn guard last week

 

[SUFaninNJ]

TJ Bamba, a starting guard from Nova, just entered the transfer portal. Wondering if this means anything...

I'm guessing it means that TJ will matriculate at a different school from the one he's been attending. Just a hunch, no inside sources.

 

[Cuse_NYC]

Would love a Bamba type here. Grown man. But this shouldn’t really affect Leffew’s decision

Such a difference in approach between Fran and Red. The former takes a moribund program and from day one recruits coast to coast. No fear of any program or conference. He goes all in on the trappings with the show in the Dome for visitors etc. results are incredible. He’s remade the roster and created amazing buzz nationally. For Syracuse!
The latter, we are window shopping at Dollar City and worried we can’t afford it. Amazing and not in a good way. Belief without evidence Dino would say.

cool, good thing there's a football board for you

Yeah means we might be on the outside looking in.

They can both be important parts of an effective mutton offense.

Bamba stinks. Nova stunk. Can't shoot. Not very good. Next.

honestly picking Nova right now would have to be about $$ alone. Neptune has done very little since taking over and they have quite a few guards I thought returning. Their HS recruiting has fallen off too.

 

[OmahaCuse]

i think its a strategy...they want vets...they want unproven hungry players willing to put the team ahead of themselves...its a certain profile they are going for (likely based on the knucklehead behavior of red;s first year)

they could definitely get some "big transfers" but all that glitters aint gold...as we saw with starling benny and westry last year ...they are "5stars" in case you forgot

? Unproven? Seems like the guys they are going after are very proven

Meh. The basketball recruiting boards idea of top transfers appear to be mostly former HS top 50 guys who have sucked in college so far. That’s not a way to build a winning team.

 

[albanycuse]

I don’t pot committed with our primary options anymore like a lot of you as well , we wouldn’t have guys like Hakim and many others that became fan favorites.

Interesting that Villanova can offer more than we can.

If that's the case, what are we doing?

Can or willing..

no one even knows this just to be clear. Just saying Nova lost massive momentum with Wright leaving. They are hurting and not sure how you can sell that program easily right now- doesn’t appear it’s selling well based on recruiting either

I think we need to look in the mirror, too.

That makes sense.

Though putting Westry in the same category as Benny isn't exactly fair.

Funding NIL for a FBS Football program as well, for one.

 

[Dcuse]

Has Mack committed to Georgetown?

 

[dasher]

Not concerned if he goes to Nova. I wasn’t blown away with what Leffew would give us. There will be other options. The optics of the coach deal aren’t great but is what it is. I’d say a Pitt like team did this, we would be making fun of them nonstop

Here is something I know for certain. Leffew is #1 on our board. Yes, we have a board. So, if we don't get him, we are going to get a guy that our coaches wanted less than Leffew. That, is a concern for me.

They clearly didn't consult with anyone on this board when creating this "board", did they? Don't you find that a little bit odd, considering the vast knowledge of most our posters?

A sure fire sign of the end of times. The thing is, the coaches really poured over film this offseason. They know what they wanted. Are they right? Time will tell. But this wasn't hey, this guy might help us. They really worked it out. That is why I want Leffew.

Our donors are also funding football. Nova's arent...?

I was told that Fran is pressuring hard for NIL and that is leaving less money for basketball
