[Cusesky8214]

Bummer

 

[PauliePeppas]

Noooo

 

[cusefan88]

I really think Cuse was always his backup option. Just my opinion.

 

[Trueblue25]

Dusttt in the wind

 

[Cusefan0307]

He certainly won’t be well liked here if he goes there!

 

[Scott11]

Everybody just calm down and relax. First of all let’s not forget that Coach K will not be there anymore and who knows how that will affect recruiting.
Second it’s not exactly like we have nothing to offer. We are Syracuse, act like it.
Lastly, according to McAllister Starling will visit Syracuse on June 25.

If JJ gets a UNC offer then it’s game over.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Sports fans, when you recruit good players, other programs are going to recruit that player.

JJ Starling picks up offer from Duke, sets dates for official visits to Syracuse and UConn

The former Central New York hoops star will visit Syracuse and Connecticut later this month.

He was Cuse’s back up plan now they might be his... this is a race of who commits first with this entire group of recruits

Always appreciate your insight! Thank You.

I have a question. Who was the primary point guard target: Dior, Zion or Quadir if JJ was the backup? Dior and Zion look to be targets who have moved on. Quadir and Chance are out there but are not getting that much love lately. The questions are 1) will Chance visit Syracuse officially and 2) will Quadir come before he starts to heat as a top recruiting target.

Starling is now Plan A with Quadir as Plan B and Chance as a combo guard.

Agreed on the race

Who is in first, second and third?

 

[the villager]

Heartache by the numbers ,trouble by the score numbers won’t matter till the next teardrop falls.

 

[SWC75]

Who is in first, second and third?

 

[kidorange]

Can someone explain why would take an official here instead of just popping in? Free plane ticket home?

 

[ORANGE OATH]

I know Dooke isn’t going to become Marist, but without K Duke is still at least to some degree a bit of an unknown quantity!
K is a special coach as his record indicates.
The new regime at Dooke has to go do it.
Until that happens they are an unknown.
Something JJ hopefully thinks seriously about.
Would love to see him in Orange !

We will see what happens but I have a hard time believing a kid from Baldwinsville whose entire family can sit front row in the dome to watch him play college basketball is going anywhere but Cuse

I agree with this. The great thing about him is he can play the 2 or off guard position and play it WELL (actually wouldn't prefer him to be our pg).

Yeah it boggles the mind. This weekend will give us a HUGE idea

Greg Paulus is his mentor

 

[kidorange]

There was talk he wouldn't stay here because he's a UNC fan but now we think he's going to Duke?

I dont think it’s that cut and dry. A duke offer is arguably the best offer u can get in college. The exposure u get from that program is second to none (I would say higher than UK). They may not be your favorite team during your recruiting time but they check so many boxes in terms of getting you to the league and exposure. Now that spotlight is heavy and bright but the pros outweigh the cons
