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

Mike McCallister should be embarrassed. Hack "journalist"

 

[phil77]

Lock the thread up

 

[Ozone!]

Unlimited Money is destroying college sports​

 

[TheHaze315]

Let’s all up our donations to $500 and get Kadary back

He’s not the first and won’t be the last to change a meth ball.

 

[phil77]

Maybe it was because we didn't have a cool looking chair to sit in

He wants to make sure he is doing right by himself on the school he chooses. That is 100% of what he should be doing. He doesn't owe any of these schools anything at this point. It sure doesn't mean that he would be a selfish player once he enrolls at whatever school he goes to.

syracuse program goals: win

portal player goals: get as much money as possible and set self up for as much future money as possible

aligning both of these goals is difficult although not impossible

Hurley from UCONN talked about turning down better talent for this reason

lets take heed

lets just acknowledge that a lot of players are going to act out of selfish motivations...thats just what this is...and the portal facilitates that like never before. imo, the players who are acting most out of self interest are more likely to play selfishly in the end...although the overlap is not 100%.

there may indeed be players who drag out recruitment, leak false info, play shcool against each other to up their NIl, etc...who are great team players and selfless when it comes to on the court play...but I would bet they are in the minority

most of them are going to be headaches who ower their teams ceilings even if they put up "good" stats

a player who will have no NBA chance or cannot command much NIL...otoh will likely play for the jersey ijs

my guess is that the coaches are targeting team players and avoiding prima donnas like the plague

Red behind the 8 ball as usual.

I had some other stuff to say but then it came to my mind that playing basketball at Georgia for top $ is no different than walking into the strip club and asking for the most expensive 2 they have.

He will be singing a different tune when we kick the Bulldogs butt in the National football championship game.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

At Newhouse we were taught to get it right. If you are first, great. Bad week for Mike

To be fair, things can change, especially with young people. I am sure he had it right, then the wind changed direction

 

[SUFaninNJ]

Officially committed to Georgia

That sore on his right leg looks suspicious. Not a take.

Do they even know what an NCAA tournament is?

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

I agree with that. Often in life, you end up with something better when this sort of thing happens. Not always though.

Hakeem says yes sir.

Things change from day to day and in some cases hour to hour. What’s correct at one point sometimes changes, rookie.

The problem was, he was the only one that reported it. Weiss said we were the leaders.

 

[721Comstock]

Hakeem says yes sir.

Warwick?

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

I know this isn't going to be popular, but my sense is that this kid is all about himself. Didn't we just get rid of some guys that put themselves in front of the team.

Also, as I posted earlier I bet we are done with Guards. I hope we bring in a kid that is a scoring forward and another big

Don’t people leave job A looking for the best/highest paying job. That’s all this was. He owed no loyalty to anyone.

 

[ROCuse]

Officially committed to Georgia

Maybe we should pivot and use our donations for a throne?

 

[SUFan44]

I am back to straight skepticism.

Hofstra kid is a backup.

Quality options are dwindling, IMO.

My thoughts exactly. I have no insider info, but just based on the public display of his recruitment. If we hadn’t just hired his former Head Coach a few weeks ago, I can’t imagine we would play along this game that was his recruitment.

It ain’t easy getting herpies on your knee.

we’re thinking to small, we need to pivot to a KING

Or maybe we trade the baby goats for one?

yeah we dont exactly what happened and why

but at the minimum I would expect zero shenanigans from a portal player who's head caoch just became an assistant at the school recruiting him

pure specualtion but seems like we did have some shenanigans...even if minor...which sucks

A LOT of PGs came off the board in the last few weeks

i hope what happened is that SU pivoted to a bigger fish...and theres another player lined up

when I saw they offered Kadary I kinda thought leffew wasnt coming
