Class of 2020 PG Noah Farrakhan (NJ / IMG)

[syrcuse]

6’1” 160.

Not a fit for the zone so...

Agreed...plus shoots too well.

Just wanna bump this one quick because his last year or so has been some what of a disaster? Kid has fallen from 5 star status playing at IMG to leaving IMG and now still uncommitted and only a 3 star.

Interesting "bump". Is there something we could be reading into here?

 

[OrangeXtreme]

All the Crystal Meth Balls have him going to Penn St.

Hey there!

He did an unofficial to PSU at the beginning of March and said on 3/4, "Really loving the Penn State atmosphere." Then all the Crystal Balls were placed on 3/9 as they are now...

Article I read on that trip was he watched PSU get pummeled by MSU and kept talking about his buds on MSU. Seems like a kid looking for an upgrade.

Well, if SU/Boeheim has interest, someone better alert Duke/K quickly.

Are we an upgrade?

People won’t remember him but this is one of the craziest recruitments in the history of recruiting.

I would love to know more. A couple years back, Farrakhan was considered a high major talent. Then he changed schools and plummeted down the recruiting board. I never heard much chatter about why. Then there were highly cryptic references linking him to SU. I guess now we'll just have to wait a year for Cuse to tap the ECU pipeline again and nab our next Elijah Hughes. The Pirates are our minor league affiliate!

He really fell off the map, from 5 star to 3 star and going to East Carolina.

Part of it was off the field, but part of it was definitely his on court play. He was just a terrible shooter, and inefficient from 2 as well. East Carolina got themselves an absolutely elite athlete though.

Gotta assume he coulda went high major if he was willing to be a depth piece and develop his game. He can probably get 30+mpg off the bat at ECU; they also have an extremely talented big in Gardner.

this kid will absolutely look to transfer though

I hope this isn't the guy you've been alluding to as the darkhorse back court candidate.

Nope.

 

[RF2044]

Nope.

Good -- when this guy's name surfaced as a possibility a couple of weeks ago, it sounds like the coaches kicked the tires but determined that he wasn't good enough to play at our level.

Yea I remember his name being mentioned a little while back. This is a completely different scenario that could happen. Gunna take some time before we know if it's a possibility and its definitely a possibility.

Doesn't sound like it took much time. Less that one sentence in fact.

Heck up until a couple weeks ago the recruiting gurus had him locked to Penn State

 

[RF2044]

Nope.

Was it this guy?
