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

[IthacaMatt]

Im not sure how much these kids care about fans and tbh i dont blame them for not

While I would generally agree with this idea, this whole name & image licensing stuff makes it a legitimate question - who is going to give me more commercial opportunities; my hometown, or a basketball factory?

IDK his family, but I think I know where they live. I don’t know if some $$ in college through NIL will be the deciding factor. Could be, but maybe not.

I think its pretty cool how all these ball players support each other. There could be a lot of jealousy but as a whole these kids are super positive on social media and for the most part handle themselves with class and beyond their age bracket.

So is it known if JJ will make a decision before early signing period or does he wait until after new year's and see how chips are falling with teams, players, etc?

Expected to make an announcement in the next 2 weeks or so.

Creepy.

JJ is good enough to make the commitment that he is on the floor a lot from Day 1 no matter who is on the roster. Local kid who is given a national profile from a local program the moment he steps foot on campus. If the long haulers like Joe want a shot at a title ( not throwing away anything about this season just saying) they will make way for JJ to come right in and do his thing.

Use that strong rotation of centers and then just have fun being creative with things 1-4.

I believe if or when JJ chooses Orange the NIL opportunities will be set in motion preparing for the day he steps on campus. He could be the first player to reach millionaire status in college. I know Buddy says hello.

If JJ picks Cuse over Duke the extra level of love ,because it’s Duke ,would be overwhelming .

 

[orangmannc1]

From this article it sounds like it will be Duke

Curious that he mentions the Duke attention, yet Duke momentum has greatly halted. Playing time/ball attention more of a priority behind closed doors? Would suggest why ND chatter popping up.

Would be huge.. still think we r left holding the bag but I hope that's not the way it plays out!

Smir may be a factor in trusting the guys around him.

FWIW...Duke "insiders" seem to think all of his finalists are in play except SU...

Odd piece of intel. We have no clue where he's going, except we know it's NOT his hometown school.

 

[UpstateSM]

Makes sense if academics are a big big factor

 

[Cusefan0307]

How would Duke insiders have info, but Syracuse insiders don’t??

 

[GooseMutt]

Things in our favor:

JJ may have been a Cuse fan growing up
Carrier dome is iconic and a huge venue
Parents can conveniently attend games
His notoriety in the Cuse area is and would be huge for nil opportunities.
Newhouse is as good as it gets
Will get plenty of minutes and freedom
Has a good cast of teammates
Team is competitive
Duke and it’s geographic area is saturated with good players given other nearby schools
Boeheim is hof

According to their board I live on Long Island.

I think Bryce Young at Alabama has already reached a mil
