You can't fly to South Bend. If you want to get to South Bend from Syracuse, I think your best bet is to fly direct into Chicago and drive there.

A flight from Syracuse to Chicago is going to be about 2 hours and 10 minutes. Assuming everything goes well, the weather is optimal, etc.

The drive from O'Hare to South Bend is about 2 hours assuming there is no traffic.

With parking, security, checking and getting your bags, renting a car, you are probably looking at 6 or 7 hours from the time you arrive at the Syracuse airport to the time you arrive in South Bend. More if there is traffic.

South Bend is an easy 8 hour drive from Syracuse. I wouldn’t fly there, from here, due to the above issues.

It’s definitely no done deal, but I also don’t think it’s out of the question...I mean it’s a huge decision for anyone making a college decision and for some it’s much harder than others...and It’s hard to tell what might be going through a 17 year olds mind. You know, do you stay home and buy into the hometown team and the local support you’ll get or do you go somewhere else and get that fresh start? Everyone craves that to some degree and some more than others, so it’s hard to tell. Anyway I’m sure JJ is being supported to do what his heart wants and time will tell.
This might be a case where the longer it draws out the less likely it goes our way, but at the same time i actually think it might be the opposite and the longer he has to think about it, the more he matures, the harder it gets to pass up this unique opportunity. Big opportunity for cashing in on new NIL laws anyway...so we will see.

I prefer to remain optimistic, without expectations. So if he comes home, Great. If he chooses somewhere, wish him best of luck.

If it’s my kid, and he could go to Stanford, for free, that’s all I need to know. If that’s where he wanted to go, I’d start the packing.
 
Per Mccalister on how Copeland committing affects Starling:

Therefore, do not expect Syracuse to back off of Starling. Starling has told us a commitment from another guard would not impact his interest. He officially visited Stanford over the weekend and is expected to visit Duke this month as well.

I can see him going to Stanford due to the academics. But, I also know they are a close family. Would be tough for them to see him much being on the far west coast. Leaving SU out of the equation, ND could be the landing spot unless UNC offers.

Duke

Fly and take the train
 
If he wants to be the man he won’t be going to Duke. He likely wouldn’t even start there the first year.

Duke is gaining momentum but, that's just because it's Duke. He's not going to go if they grab another guard. Our biggest competition besides Duke is Stanford.

Aren’t him and Whitehead both shooting guards?
 
Admiral33 said:
They're not in on any other guards. I'm assuming he'll end up there

they are after a 4 star combo that is rated almost the same as JJ and they’ve offered a 5 star PG in the 2023 class. They also got 2 guards coming in this fall. A 4 star PG and a 5 star 2G. They’ve also gotten Whitehead in the 2022 class who is a 2/3. I’d say there’s competition there.

That is also a lot of competition for NIL money. The hometown boy would be at the front of the line in Syracuse for such endorsement deals.

No one can offer more than Stanford when it comes to NIL... I expect him to be at Stanford but cuse still pursuing

How can no school offer more $$ than Stanford in terms of NIL? That’s a strange assertion with no evidence to back up what you’re saying. Can you elaborate? Because of Silicon Valley? Not sure how that factors in at all. Google, Facebook, and other tech companies aren’t giving marginal college basketball players endorsement deals.

I didn’t think this needed an explanation. It’s Stanford. The alumni. The tech. The valley. And now you’re saying JJ is a marginal basketball player and he shouldn’t expect a deal? It’s one of the most prestigious and wealthiest schools in America and I guarantee JJ would make more NIL money there than coming to syracuse. How much NIL money is buddy making ? People think this hometown thing is a cash cow.. News flash, people in Syracuse aren’t throwing any money at these kids now are they ? Cmon you can’t compare Syracuse to stanford at all

I won't argue that Stanford has a lot of potential in the NIL area, but right now all that comes up when you google Stanford and NIL is David Shaw talking about Nick Saban.
