Class of 2025 PG Nigel James (NY) Offered

[cuseallday]

We need some studs in the front court. Not many post men being mentioned. A few forwards have visited.

Yeah, if you're talking 2025, it's Matt Gilhool, Sadiq White Jr., London Jemison. SU had offered Malachi Moreno, but I don't think much is doing there. Same goes with Niko Bundalo.

No Cuse talk from Nigel himself...
He was a G-Mac recruit.

It seems SU has more interest in Jackson and Lewis.

Correct. Jackson still #1. Then there is still Dixon (more combo), Lewis (latest buzz-- stock riser), and Tillery (been on him for a while-- his stock is rising)

FWIW, after I saw that short interview, I reached out to Nigel's dad, who says Syracuse is a top 3 option for his son...we'll see.

Some back story to Nigel's development...

Do people think we’ll take two guards in the 2025 class?

Yeah Kiyan and a point guard. Theoretically Kiyan could keep growing out to be a SF though.

12 boards for the point guard...

Figured we had lost a little interest him and this makes it official -

Yeah, I saw this coming, particularly with the full-court press on Lewis now, along with Jackson and Tillery. I think SU and James lost some steam after GMac left.

Correct. About a month ago, I shared that it is a 3-man Cuse point guard race, so Nigel was an odd man out. I believe Dasher said something similar. Dixon (who is more of a combo) is still there too.. and comes from Team Takeover/ Coach B.

Dixon might be the best guard of the bunch.

Nigel committed to Marquette today. Shaka gets his next PG.
