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

[Ptzburghcuse]

Dior is number 0 in black and J.J. is number 7 in white.

Man Dior is good! - I just hope he doesn't get a technical every time he taunts a kid - in a game he'd have fouled out a quarter through this video! Maybe this is just a pick-up type game - which it looks like it is but man - getting up in someone chest on every play? Love he is confident and man the crowd will go nuts every night - win or lose.

Where is Call playing next year? I know he isn't a D1 guy but he has some panache - great leaper, can shoot it...

I know he has a couple D2 offers but I don't think he's committed anyplace yet. I'm slightly surprised he doesn't have any real interest from MAAC or NEC schools. He definitely should have gotten out of Rome for high school or at least AAU. I'll have to ask my buddies from Rome if they know anything.

few comments on that video.

1. it’s a Dior highlight tape.
2. Dior taunted other players guarding him too. So I don’t think this tape is indicative of whether Dior and JJ get along.
3. Dior is probably the best sophomore in the country so comparing another sophomore to him isn’t really fair.

I'll be the one to say it. Dior is a great player, but seems like a jerk on that video.

You have to understand the atmosphere of it too.. these guys see each other all weekend. When you see what your upcoming competition is doing in those type of close quarters it’s natural to go after each other like that. Alpha Vs Alpha

He’s going to bring that swag back.

Adrian Autry was sitting with Ryan Blackwell in press row, watching the game today.

So now Liverpool’s gonna offer?

You can have swag w/o being a jerk. Carmelo had tons of swag, but played the game with a smile, not with an attitude, constantly trying to show others up.

I agree, but If that’s what he needs to play like best player in his class, I will take it.

Agree...one of my favorite memories is anytime Devo would start jawing...cus you just knew he was bout to light it up!

Let’s keep in mind that Dior is 14 in that video. Something tells me he’ll continue to grow & mature quite a bit before he’s in Orange.

Boeheim’s Army.

 

[JLine]

I don’t see anything negative about how he was acting. That was mild stuff for pickup basketball. The kid is special, and he knows it. It will be refreshing to have a guard again that isn’t afraid of anyone, and wants to be the one to make a play. A Johnny Flynn type PG, but with the potential to be even better. May God bless me with a few more years to be able to watch this kid lead us to a special season.

That "taunting" was so tame compared to what you see in basically any high school or AAU game. I don't know Dior personally but that video wouldn't impact what I think of him as a person at all.

I loved it.

I want a PG with moxie and flare. Any and every day of the week.

 

[Tony DeFranco]

Dior needs to quit that with JJ - don't waste it - save if for if we play UCONN

 

[littlereg]

I dont know but me personally I don’t follow people on Instagram that I have beef with but they follow eschother

 

[Eric15]

Is it basically a guarantee that if we get this guy his nickname will be “Agent Starling.”

Damm

Michael Jordan was a jerk. So was Kobe. We need more guys like this. I love it

I’m a jerk...couldn’t agree more.

You are a jerk...couldn't agree more.

j/k - I could possibly agree more.

Yeah - players with 'tude - that can back it up with their play = MOAR PLZ??!!!!

Leaders = kind of

That's just how it's always played out.

That's not always true. David Robinson and Tim Duncan weren't. I doubt guys like Peyton Manning and Steve Young were either.

In sports you don't have to be a dick to be a leader. It often works out that way because the most talented athletes are often worshiped before they can shave, giving them ridiculous egos, or they have huge chips on their shoulders.
