Class of 2026 PG Deron Rippey Jr. (NY/NJ) to Duke

[FrancoPizza]

I miss the days when we were considered an elite schol.

With the right coach we can get back there. I just hope the powers on the hill are not satisfied if we sneak into the NCAAs as a 10 seed.

In defense of current Syracuse, we were never on the same plane as Duke, UNC and Kentucky. IF we were elite then those guys were super elite

Correct, and Red is recruiting at the same level we were 15 years ago as of now. He just needs the wins.

They should get back to Rippey. He wanted assurances on playing time. If he’s watched George lately, he would have nothing to worry about.

He also wants assurance on who will coach the team.

And why 2 point guards who were brought in seemingly regressed from the spot they transferred in from.

Doesn’t really matter anymore. They can leave whenever a coaching change is made.

So !!!!

Agreed. I texted with Deron's Dad again yesterday. Top 5 coming soon. No hints about whether Syracuse will make the cut, but I personally think SU will. But having a good start to this season is extremely important, as many of you have noted! Syracuse beating Houston and/or Kansas would go a long way, IMO...

Another one, parents love us and the kids want nothing to do with us.

I hear ya, my friend. Not sure the second statement is entirely accurate, and I do have some information about why Syracuse didn't make the final list cut, but gotta keep that private for obvious reasons! I did text Deron's dad this morning to say good luck! He's a good kid. Just bummed he's headed to another ACC school (I assume).

Congratulations, but boooooo, it’s Duke!

All good, board scouts say we don’t need him!

Cayden Boozer isn’t getting drafted so I guess he’ll be transferring now that Rippey’s coming to Duke.

Doubtful if today is any indicator. Cayden making his first start today and looks really good so far versus GTech.

Interesting that he gets a start and plays major minutes the first game after Rippey committed.
