Imagine if Battle stays to get a national championship insted of NBA next year

Amazing class. Looking very good for us and soon.

I've been told that they wanted to announce today instead of on Jalen's birthday next week to add surprise and make it more impactful.

I should have more soon.

Whooop Whoop. Awesome.

Now where's TEEEEE. I need him on here to celebrate. Great get in JC, and a sweeeet addition to Baze and Buddy for '18. JC can score or dime one of the most versatile forwards we've had here in years. Waiting this year out is not going to be easy... we'll be in a dogfight with all these young players. The flip side of that is, we'll have lots of guys with experience to provide a foundation for the ridiculous talent we're bringing in in '18.

Very very psyched about the resurgence of this storied program.

QG who?

You know, the kid who got recruited over and will ride the bench at Duke.

[SU Dreaming]

Man i am so happy, huge win for all of us Orange fans, huge win for the program, for the players/kids, for the coaches, for JB, for Syracuse NY, for future SU BB recruiting, just a huge win, huge smile on my face, THRILLED

All positive energy my friends, we celebrate together!!!!

that never gets old

If Battle is around in 2018, which I don't expect, but he seems to be a well grounded kid and very tight with Moyer and Khalif coming out in 2019, IF TB stays we are undoubtedly a top 10 team.

Amazing class. Looking very good for us and soon.

Even two3zone is excited. He is earning the likes today! What a great feeling. I was just thinking I'm really excited but maybe I'm overhyping this class. Then two3 comes in and says we are going to be good soon. The ultimate realist if there ever was one. Let's go!! I'm on cloud 9.

[By Edit]. There's a write up on too: Jalen Carey Commits to Syracuse | Otto's Grove

 

[JDubbin]

Did the casual "hop on the fan to check out what's going on with recruiting" page visit... and see the COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE in the bold!

So pumped and excited for Carey and this recruiting class... SU hoops is bringing it!

I'm glad your ok. I thought of you when I heard about the Vegas stuff. So terrible. Hopefully no one you know got hurt.

Nice write up by Iommi on too: Jalen Carey Commits to Syracuse | Otto's Grove

I didn't write that one. I'm working on something though.

 

[BludOrange]

Says he models his game after Westbrook.

4-Star PG Prospect Jalen Carey Commits to Syracuse over UConn

I like him even more than I did five minutes ago.

Awesome video. Congrats to the staff and to the players involved who helped JC make his decision. Amazing how far the recruiting has advanced in the last six months since Hop left. I know we have discussed it before but the entire coaching staff starting with JAB have really stepped up. I actually think some of this early success will bring better than expected results this season. Lock them up early and concentrate on game plans.

 

[Waltdods]

nice
carey/bazley best recruiting duo since mcw/rc

You know what class it really looks like?

2002. Top-ten forward, borderline five star guard who will bounce between the one and two, and a less heralded local kid to round things out.

Oh, and another guard who had to sit out the year before (for more reputable reasons this time around).

Right you are. We also have the do-all backup guard that can finish down low (Hughes). All we need now is an "extendo" forward that can grab long rebounds (Nate Roberts) and maybe even close out to block a perimeter jumper!

I went out with a girl last night who was there. Got pretty drunk Sunday and asked what she was up to and she responded saying she was at that festival. I moved to the next number in the phone and she texted me last night and that's when I realized that she was there and she texted me that 2 hours before everything happened.

She is shaken up pretty bad. She said she was right in the thick of it and just started to run as fast as she could. Outside of her I know a few people who were there but no injuries or deaths.

It's been surreal being here, everyone is just quiet and slow moving I guess the way I'd describe it.

A la Hakim Warrik?
