Wouldn't JJ be "the man" at Syracuse? Buddy will be gone and we need a new #1 option. Seems to fit JJ.

I think JJ would eventually be the man at SU too. But we probably have a better roster/more talent than ND does. I doubt JJ, or any frosh, comes in and becomes the focus on the Syracuse offense from day one.

I could see that happening for ND. Just my opinion.

If Benny comes back for his sophomore year, he would likely be "the man". But, that would also mean we would have a killer team. And, the number two option for a really good Syracuse team would get much more attention than the number one on a crappy ND team. The only ND players that get attention are the big, burly, white, disfigured looking dudes they always seem to have.

I literally LOL'd at this.

I would say its not trending in the wrong direction seeing as though no one knows anything because of how close the family has kept things. Not sure I'd say it's trending in the right direction though. Wonder if he's going to keep everyone in the dark until the actual decision or if times gets closer to the announcement if he will let the coaches know and the picture gets clearer. Gotta give the family credit for doing it like this...kinda refreshing.

I think everybody is confused because:

1] JJ is clearly factoring other considerations into his decision beyond just basketball
2] He's a terrific student, which is why some of the schools on his list made the cut [again, beyond basketball]
3] His family hasn't leaked information and has avoided turning this into a media circus

Good point. Much more in play here.

Every kid has his own reasons for choosing a school. I am good with that. But, I reserve the right to be selfish, petty and childish when he does not to choose the school of which I am a fan.

A la Chris Thomas minus having Humphrey
 
I’m just keep trying to tell myself that at the end of the day, Syracuse will be in better shape without JJ, then ND will be with him.

We always try to talk ourselves into the outcome we desire around here...its like how people always say the crystal ball stuff is pointless yet it usually turns out correct more often then not.

Stop. It isn't hard to be "correct" when they change their answers every time the wind blows.

Remember Nerlens Noel? One of the crystal ball writers with a great % track record changed his answer three times to three different schools the day Noel announced. Eventually, he got the final prediction "right," but it demonstrates that these guys are often spit balling.

Yes, I understand it happens. I said more often then not they're correct. There's obviously time for them to start changing the picks and when that happens then its pretty apparent what the decision will be...let's see if that happens! Wonder when Mike M will put his pick in?

This is trending the right way? Every prediction has gone to Notre dame. When was the last time every analyst had a prospect going one place and were wrong and he ended up at Cuse?

Fab Melo? Jake had it right for us though :)

So you trust guys that have zero chance of knowing information over some of us who are literally texting the coaching staff right now about the scenario?
