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

[0.2 YNdeeR]

Good thing the coaches didn't "move on."

Nah, Red should have pulled his offer because it was generating too much uncertainty for the middle-aged guys on Syracusefan.com!

 

[littlereg]

Announcement soon he says.

So... early first look, with no 'prediction' made for who actually starts -- just exploring the depth chart. Also accounting for the ability of a few guys to play multiple positions:

PG -- Leffew / Carlos / Westry
SG -- JJ / Cuffe / Moore
SF -- Bell / Westry / Moore
PF -- Freeman / Davis
C -- Lamkin / McLeod / Patterson

Not saying we will, but could go 11 deep.

That looks like a roster to me.

Boom

 

[djcon57]

NICE!

 

[RyanCuse44]

That looks like a roster to me.

And less headaches for Red and staff

 

[kidorange]

Does this mean Judah isn't coming back?

Wait until we add Brooklyn "SHOWTIME" Vick

Chris Bell is going to have a fantastic year. He's a guy that I think will thrive with mature & veteran teammates.

 

[UpstateSM]

Good call

But, but, but ...

everyone said there was no plan and time to move on.




Well not everyone; just everyone who always says there is no plan and time to move on.

 

[djcon57]

The depth is an amazing thing to have. Especially because I trust Red will use it.

and there are a couple guys that have issues with staying healthy

Reds hard work paid off here. This is huge. Let’s rock and roll

Holy !

LFGO!

I have been negative on this recruitment cycle, and lesson to me to be patient with the process (it's something I need to work on).

But I think one of the things we had going on last year was there was not enough good depth to push guys into conforming to the team plan. It looked like a lot of guys were playing as individuals rather than doing things that would help us win, and they could get away with it because it was 100% clear they were the best option at their position.

Having this depth will hold guys accountable, and I am hoping that these transfers we are bringing in - who only have one year left - will create a sense of urgency that wasn't present last year. We shall see.

 

[richmondcuse03]

Tell you what -- we land BOTH Carlos and Leffew, and I'll be very happy with the offseason retooling, despite losing Maliq [which I think is underestimated by a big portion of the fanbase that post here].

A lot of posters would owe Red an e-apology for questioning the patience. approach, and restraint with which this process has been managed.

precisely. that's a top 10 class that addresses serious issues and reloads the team. A+ job.

Can you PM me the link please and insight into how to earmark for Dakota. Thank You

Edit: Mine is also in.

Good call

Upstate - y'all might wanna update your tagline re: JT.
LOL.

Good get. Nice rounded group of new players with 2 star freshmen. We should get way more from last years portal class this year as well.

Don’t see minutes for anyone else realistically so no clue what we do with last scholly. But that means we have plenty of room for the year after to offer recruits.

Hard to project him individually and statistically but we hired his coach he’s not going to suck and we probably don’t want a ball dominant PG that thinks it’s their mission to carry the team again.

I know this recruitment took a long time, but who would have thought we'd wait til the 94th month of the year to get a commitment?!

Get the best shooter possible. No need for other skills. Just a guy who can come in and shoot if needed.

 

[RF2044]

I am really encouraged that we landed Leffew.

Like his game, and I think he can be a major contributor [as a shooter, passer, ball handler, etc.] no matter what his role ends up being -- i.e., starter versus bench scorer.
