Class of 2022 PG JJ Starling (Baldwinsville / La Lumiere) Offered

[kcsu]

If he goes to Stanford it will be for the academics

 

[hoopsupstate]

The bottom line is JJ wants to get to the NBA. Stanford is not a hot spot for putting players in the NBA. That’s one of the main things he’s looking for. Some people around him question if SU will prepare him for the NBA.

Yah great school, but it's not like people in Palo Alto are dying over basketball recruits.

Agreed, extremely successful alumni does not equate to spending the most on NIL for their school. Guaranteed that most of the graduates do not care enough to spend money on a random kid from New York to come to Stanford, the culture is not the same the way it is in say the SEC.

 

[jgeorge322]

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.

Yep, the statement may be true but there’s just no evidence or proof of it right now. Heck, the Stanford alumni base may find the entire NIL concept offensive.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Stanford’s aluminum base is pretty successful overall wouldnt you say?

I believe it's spelled aluminium.

That would be a mighty large alumni base with very deep pockets to unanimously feel that way.

 

[Todoubled23]

Fixed that for you, free of charge!

Weitsman would like to have a word with all of you regarding this "aluminum".

i think you missed my point, which is that its speculation. Thats all.

Star light, Star bright
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have this wish , I wish tonight
Come on home J.J. You will never regret your choice.

Your last line needs work, it doesn't rhyme.

 

[Widget24]

Your last line needs work, it doesn't rhyme.

It's also missing the line, "First star I see tonight".

They've had 3 guys picked in the last 3 years including a lotto pick this year. We've had 1 2nd rd pick in the last 4 drafts and our last lotto pick was MCW 8 years ago. They're on pretty equal footing as us in that aspect unless we're going to start arguing about things when he was 6 years old.

You can’t discount MCW, Waiters, etc. JB was the coach then so people shouldn’t be saying JB can’t get players drafted. He’s actually got players drafter higher than they should have. It’s up to the players once they get drafted to stay in the league.

 

[Scott11]

MCW has made $20 million in salary with another $3 million coming this season. So he should not be discounted under any meaning of the word. Dion has made $67 million.
I think these numbers are worth a mention. Also demonstrates that NIL is sexy but these guys should not let the tail wag the dog. Getting to the league is the ultimate goal. JJ and his family come across as the type of people who get that.

In what world are people saying JB can't get players drafted? Anyone that does is a moron. I was responding to you stating that Stanford is not a hot spot for getting players drafted when they've done it 3 years in a row and just had a guy go in the lotto 2 weeks ago. They have another top 20 kid coming in this year so that's likely to continue.

They have way better weather and academics along with a better campus but we are the hometown school with a legendary coach and the ACC is a superior conference. He can't really go wrong with either choice. If you're a kid and get admitted to Stanford, that's near impossible to turn down.

That was my original post. Some of the people around JJ are not convinced SU can prepare him for the NBA.

 

[MGDCuse]

Can we just "scrap" this conversation?
You set em up, I'll knock em down.

Don't you mean "tee them up"?

 

[shermstheman]

I believe it's spelled aluminium.pronounce it like theBrits do? I can’t

I believe it's spelled aluminium.

Once you spell it you have to pronounce it like the Brits do. Impossible.

 

[ORANGE OATH]

I may be late to the dance on this, but getting the strong sense that we are out on JJ ! Just my feeling, but can’t shake it.
I’m not saying the staff wouldn’t love to get this young man, but more and more I am less concerned about him, and are chances.
Wish him well wherever he lands !
We will be fine !!!!!
Go Orange

Shhh. No facts allowed

My niece recently accepted an offer to play volleyball for Stanford. That education will set her up exceptionally well. However, she's likely not playing volleyball post college and will be there for four years and then will seek a job. For a one year and done elite basketball talent who is NBA bound, I'm not so sure the academics really matter. Also, who cares about the weather? It's just one year.

He can go back later, for FREE, and finish up his degree.

From Stanford.

Also - he’s one injury away from academics being Plan B, to being his only plan.

If he’s interested in the highest quality education he can get - and he appears to be - then why not pursue that?

That education - whenever he completes it - will set him up exceptionally well.

Here is a fact: in the last 20 years Jim Boeheim had 22 players drafted.

You had to go so far back that these players weren’t alive when you started.
