After hearing this news I felt like Costanza. I think it moved.

Haters will say this isn’t real

Great day between this news and the update about JBA's development

 

[jordville]

Yes, G!

Haters will say this isn’t real

Already see the “he’ll never set foot on campus, he’ll go straight to the NBA., “Once Boeheim leaves, he’ll change his mind and go somewhere else”...mouthbreather comments on Twitter.

It's crazy to me that we are now recruiting players that were born after our 2003 title.

 

[grepal]

So how do I hit like a thousand likes! A huge off-court win for SU! Let's keep this momentum going!

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

is this real life

Is this just fantasy...

I LOVE the way he specifically commented on how he’s not a follower. I’ve been saying this about all
these kids going to just Duke and Kentucky for years! Mix it up! Get your own squad! Lots of other good schools out there to play hoop at. I love his comments!

Yup, also seems like he's saying his skills will get him to the league and that he doesn't need to go to one of the those schools to make it to the next level.
Love the confidence this kid has.

Some good news. I never hold my breath with this stuff anymore though. Always great to see great players talk highly of Syracuse either way!

refuse to get my hopes up

Don't go through life like that. you have to enjoy things while you can. If it goes bad, you can always feel bad then

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Does this mean Wildhack started filling the bags.

We are giving them pieces of the dome to sell to boosters

“I don’t really care about the recruiting process,” Johnson said. “It’s not something I want to go through so it’s like if it feels like home, I’ve known these guys for a while, the relationship is going to keep building, I’m going to be able to now see players and get players to come play with me, make them see the vision.”

I am a bit upset to learn we are not a blue blood.

“Gerry McNamara is my dude” per Dior

He gave Gmac a huge shout out!

shh we are but he doesn't know it

 

[jdubs30]

I am a bit upset to learn we are not a blue blood.

Lol I was thinking that too but it was obvious he was only referring to Kentucky/Duke

 

[OrangeDW]

I am a bit upset to learn we are not a blue blood.

WE WILL BE AGAIN, BY THE TIME THIS KID IS DONE HERE!! LETS FREAKIN GO!!!

 

[Zelda Zonk]

Crazy-good news.
Now the wait, to see if he can stack a class.
After the New Balance fiasco, i'm still wounded and jaded, though.
But, this is a nice domino to fall.

Now i gotta Waze Lakewood, CA... 108 miles... I'm gonna get up there for some games.

 

[kcsu]

Feel happy and excited. There’s nothing negative that can come from this. Like me, be glad you can still enjoy SU basketball and don’t stress the uncontrollables.

Great post Bees.

Every single year I tell myself that we'll see who is on the team when the season starts. Why should I stop? Even after the season begins, all kinds of things can transpire, as we are seeing with the current team.

At the same time, good recruiting news is always welcome. Maybe he'll get other good recruits to commit in hopes of playing with him.
