Class of 2022 PG Quadir Copeland (PA/IMG) COMMITTED/SIGNED TO SYRACUSE

[RF2044]

Next up: Barlow and Carey.

 

[Wrinkle]

Let's go. Big and physical attacking guard, he's a dog

 

[Orijinal]

So, is this kid supposed to be good?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

So, is this kid supposed to be good?

Very good. Unique size for a pg. Plays with style.

So, is this kid supposed to be good?

Great system fit for us. He still needs to refine certain aspects of his game, but he's athletic and big, and sees the floor very well. Probably not a first-year starting candidate, but a kid who could be exceptional in our system down the road..

 

[City of Cuse]

Point of the future, kid is a stud.

Haha! Appreciate it, guys. I half said this tongue and cheek. I know a little bit about his recruitment, but only have followed it on and off as I mostly stay on the football side.

I know a lot of back and forth on who should be the take in this class ...Copeland, Cruz, Starling, Westy

Sounded like he really wanted to play for us, JB really likes him, and could be a floor general. Haven't really seen many highlights

What does he need to work on? Jump shot?

 

[CuseMan4]

LOVE the G-Mac “Family” FaceTime shot. For those familiar with college recruiting - that’s a helluva recruiter connecting with a recruit. Honestly, gives me goosebumps thinking about the similar relationships I have with my top recruits for 2022.

kudos to GMac who takes some unnecessary heat around here.

To be fair and to call a spade a spade, it was pretty warranted early on. He was whiffing on a lot of recruits and the bridesmaid to many. But he has done really well lately and hopefully can keep the momentum up. Have to give credit where credit is due, well done G-Mac.

 

[Timonen]

Nobody can do the Philly like we do.

I’d guess Thorogood was key to nabbing Cooney from Delaware but dunno about Philly.

 

[Toga]

Nobody can do the Philly like we do.

That dude puts on a helluva show.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

That dude puts on a helluva show.

He's 71.

And he's coming to the Turning Stone next month.

 

[jordville]

Quadir will bring some Flynn like swag to the point. And maybe just maybe... rock the headband!

 

[Timonen]

He's 71.

And he's coming to the Turning Stone next month.

We to my rival high school in Delaware (a couple decades earlier). Pre-Biden, the list of nationally famous Delawareans was Thorogood and Delino DeShields.

 

[Irt4su]

Any idea when that call to JAB was? Weeks ago? Yesterday? Somewhere in between? Just wondering.

Great get. Maybe its because i only see Orange but our family connection on the staff and former players seems better than any other top program...

It was nonsense then and it remains nonsense.

MCW? Make sure someone buys this kid a robe.

It has to be recent, he didn't decide on 8/10 until recently and that call referenced August tenth.

JB: "myyy favoriteeeee point guard!"

 

[DoctorBombay]

Literally described Kadary

Who?

 

[Windyfly]

This kid was raised different...really important get for the culture.

 

[Jake]

Yup. Needs to concentrate on making the right plays, not the flashy ones. Could easily see a similar career path here as MCW.

 

[HoustonCuse]

Is there a different video than the one started with - and n- bombs?? I was not able to continue with that one.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Is there a different video than the one started with - and n- bombs?? I was not able to continue with that one.

Yeah, that was... not a great choice in an otherwise really cool video.

 

[AZOrange]

Good luck kid!

 

[AZOrange]

Yeah, that was... not a great choice in an otherwise really cool video.

I mean maybe losing hearing but you kind of have to listen to hear all that. Harmless

 

[Dadarules]

For people that wonder why kids take so long to commit and pick the right school, look at that video and understand it is the biggest decision of their young life for them and their family. That was an awesome video and really puts into context the craziness of recruiting and go through everything with your family. Welcome aboard. Love this kid

Great points. I love seeing the videos showing the real life of the kids/families. This is such a big moment in their lives.

When my son (Mr. Boots that many here knew when he was 2 going to board events and is now a 6'4 college pitcher) called me the morning after he got back from a visit telling me he was 100% sure he wanted to commit. We talked through all the pros and cons we could think of and it was clear he was sure he wanted to go there. It is one of my favorite memories hearing how much he wanted to go there and talking everything through with him. He committed right after our call.
