Class of 2025 PG Luke Fennell (Australia) COMMITTED & SIGNED TO SYRACUSE (10/23/24)

[NYCorange]

I took a look at Fennells twitter account - no Jihad or Hamas support apparent - also doesn’t look like he has any problems with Jews - he should be cool with Trump - wouldn’t worry urself up in a frenzy

also he's white. So... phew.

They say there has never been anyone better when it comes to responding to a typo. It’s incredible.

They said it, on their knees, with tears in their eyes, “Tuttle, that’s the best plagiarism joke anybody ever heard.” And I think they are right.

This is not totally accurate.
"The State Department has ordered U.S. embassies to temporarily stop scheduling new student visa appointments, as the Trump administration works to expand social media screenings for applicants, the latest in a series of restrictions on international students.
Most international students apply for their visas just one to two months before their programs begin. That means the May freeze is unlikely to impact the summer surge of visa processing for July and August start dates"
I would have expected that he has his appointment schedule already, or he already had his interview.

Thank you! The pronouncements come so quickly and with so few details, and frankly the media is trash and sensationalizes everything, it's hard to sometimes get the full info.

Seems like your post said exactly the same thing the previous poster said, with one additional terrifying detail.

“Trump administration works to expand social media screenings for applicants”

So, you are disqualified if you don’t like Trump and say so in your social media postings?

We already have the CIA and FBI (and other organizations actually designed for the job) screening for actual threats to the United States.

So, why, with all these “cost saving” measures in place, are we adding additional screening of international student’s social media? This one set up for purely political purposes? So Trump can keep people out if the country if they don’t like him?

The people in gov't making the pronouncements are the issue, not the media for trying to interpret it.

Good article. Personally it seemed like there was more coverage of Boeheim's Army and TBT than the actual team and new players in recent seasons. Maybe the clicks told them that was the way to go. But I prefer more coverage on the incoming recruits.

It’s funny how people like to make things up.

He admitted it in a NY Times article.

Admission of guilt or even a single mistake is a rare thing these days. All we hear today is about our leader(s) being the most amazing at literally everything and knowing more about every single subject while not once ever possibly having made even the slightest error to which it must have always been someone else or made up.

It’s truly amazing to have so many people who are perfect and so amazing how humble they are to tell us how amazing they themselves are.

Doesn’t sound like a recruit who is coming to sit.

Good luck in the World Cup, Luke! SU is ready for you with open arms whenever you finish up…

 

[Cusefan0307]

He looks like he’s going to be an elite shooter. I’m pretty excited for him. Would not be surprised if he pushes JJ for PT. He’s playing against great competition.

This is a nice roster. There's some versatility. A nice mix of young guys and some more experienced guys. I hope we have leadership. I am hoping George is the kind of PG that takes control and becomes THE leader of this team.

Yeah that step back 3 is reminiscent of Malachi which was extremely effective at the college level.

I’d be shocked if any of our freshmen “push” JJ for playing time. Coaches don’t take seniors off the floor for freshmen. JJ is a three year starter. It just doesn’t happen. They may get a few minutes here and there, but they will not push JJ off the court for any length of time. JJ will play nearly, if not more than thirty minutes a game. If anyone pushes him it will be Kingz.

With Red you are probably right but best player should play.

Should never had earned it. He plagarized.

Hey it's not his fault, early adopter of the autopen lol

Kingz would be on the court with JJ… not sure how he pushes JJ.

Unless he makes the “senior” jump and figures out defense, which I do not think will happen, more than 30 mpg would be too many, maybe 25.

I was quite sure that Kingz would be a starter in a three guard lineup until Betsey committed. It seems possible Red decides to go with the traditional lineup with Kingz first off the bench.

Kyle, Freeman, Betsey, Starling, George would have very tall long armed forwards, decent shooting, and George as the engine.

Having Betsey beat out Kingz for a starting role might increase our ceiling. Then Kingz comes in if Betsey or Starling start the game cold for instant offense.

Betsey is another athletic, tall player with 7’ wingspan, but this one has some guard skills. If he could play like a forward with guard skills instead of a guard who happens to have forward height, it would be a big deal.

Hypothetically, if Betsey beats out Kingz for the starter spot, Kingz becomes competition for minutes for both Starling and Betsey.

Kingz is going to be first in line to start. He’s put up numbers against elite competition. Betsey has not. He’s also likely our 3rd or 4th highest NIL player.

And a proven double-digit scorer.

And a proven 40% from three point range shooter.

And the most experienced candidate to start at 3.
