Encouraging sign, but he still has plenty of visits left to go! Can’t wait to see how this plays out.

Sending my warmest regards that the Kentucky visit goes horribly.

We need a reverse Nerlens Noel situation

Like cuseallday and I have said, cuse is the leader and his pops wants him there. It’s that simple. However, Deron has to make his own choice, but I think ultimately he chooses cuse which will then give a real shot at JS. Then it’s go time

The DO article was great! I was trying to connect with Deron's Dad last night, but wasn't able to. Hoping to in the next day or two. I do think Syracuse has a great shot here, but we'll have to see how all the visits go!

Let’s just hope our boys are ready to make some waves in Vegas and get a statement win or two and inject some adrenaline into this program.

FYI, Griff is out in Las Vegas at the Border League to watch Rippey and others. Ron Ron is on NBA TV later today!

I'm glad this hasn't turned into a Julius Hodge thread.
At least the conversations are cautiously optimistic
and the euphoria hasn't taken over. We will always have to be patient with the very high level talent that is out there. We just aren't a "slam dunk" for any of these kids. It'll be a waiting game.

Any insiders: does a Rippey commit help or hurt with Smith.

It was said a few pages ago it helps.

I love our persistence even with the big boy programs in pursuit. Hopefully, the dedication pays off. It takes a strong personality and special person to not follow the pack and want to build something special (see Carmelo Anthony).

Amen, my friend. I wrote about that exact topic, Syracuse's dedication to Rippey and Jordan Smith Jr., in a recent column: Syracuse basketball has recruited 2026 5-stars as hard as anyone. Will it pay off?
