Class of 2022 PG Dior Johnson (NY / CA)

[jdubs30]

first thing I thought of lol..a lot of buddy at the 3 I guess. But Girard and Buddy spreading out the floor for Dior to operate one on one will be unfair

Benny at the 4, Mac at the 5 - then Kadary super sub. Griffin gotta be gone.

I don’t think we have a shot at Zion without Dior on campus in 22; but maybe this means we can get JJ and Gayle in 22, and hopefully Westry

He’s not denying it

yup...allows them go all out for 22 guards without them worrying about Dior. I like it a lot, and basically assures he will make it to campus

 

[syrBossHogg]

And then a soph Kadary...

Don't forget Griffin

 

[jdubs30]

Don't forget Griffin

I think the plan is Griffin gets the waiver this year, plays, then declares

And other than Cruz (and Westry I guess) the 22 guards they can get are independent of Diors recruiting, IMO

Also if Buddy can play the 3, with Benny at the 4 and Joe at the 2.. the amount of room Dior will have to operate will be unreal; you can’t leave any one

This is exactly what I was thinking. The defense will be forced to collapse on Dior because of his speed which will create a lot of open looks with kick outs. Hitting 3's is a lot easier when no one is guarding you! The team would be absolutely deadly!

 

[Dave85]

He's really fast!

 

[Orangezoo]

2021 would legit be a 10-11 man rotation like when MCW was a frosh if Dior reclasses.

 

[pearl31]

wonder when he'll decide on this...

 

[Cusesky8214]

Wow. Idc what class he is in AS LONG AS HE COMES TO CUSE!!!! (Yes I realize the caps were totally unnecessary but I think I just screamed that to myself) because this kid is amazing...to see him play in orange will be so much fun and hes obviously close with benny...this will help us with Mac for sure and any other big time 21 guys like AK or whoever else we decide to go after. I fricken love it!

What does this do scholarships wise for 21?

So with Dior you have

Dior,JG3,Kadary,Buddy,Woody,Benny, Frank,Jesse,JBA,Bras,QG,Griff. So there is a spot for Mac and someone else if Griff, Q or Bras aren't still here.

Is this good? Worried a crowded back court might make it a little more enticing to go try his skills in the minors for 600k a yr. I hope someone in the know might be able to chime in with what might be going on, good or bad. Feels like it's a bit out of the blue, hopefully the staff was in the loop on this

 

[maxxyz]

Is he even in a position academically to reclassify? Most players that reclassify are behind a year in school. Is Dior supposed to be a rising senior?

 

[moqui]

dior's troll game is even more advanced than his floor game

 

[Trueblue25]

2021, 2022, 1943, 3001

dior’s starting the second he steps on campus

Must be he is in position to do so or is a possibility otherwise why would he mention it?

 

[OrangeDW]

So we might win the national championship in 2021 instead of 2022?

Cool.

 

[dasher]

The 2022 guys would have less reason to go to Syracuse if Dior is gone. I don't like it.

I like our chances with Roddy at least regardless.

That is true.

And Benny is the most prototypical Syracuse player since...who? Jerami? CJ? Hakim?
