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

[Trueblue25]

Kadary Richmond 2.0

Imo better attitude/better motor coming out of hs. Thats not being bitter, Kadary hardly had to try in HS.

I think Copeland’s more poised to make a more immediate impact should we land him.

Really? I'd be surprised if Copeland makes as much of an immediate impact.

That said, long-term I think he could be an absolute force.

By impact I guess I more meant early consistent PT.

I think the slow roll out of Kadary had some to do with JB/co teaching him hustle, the college pace of the game in order to near closer to his defensive potential. Just my thought.

No, I’m pretty sure he was so good that JB just was outclassed and didn’t know how to handle it. He’d never coached a player that good before and it showed, unfortunately.

I won’t tell you how bad that is, but historically, he doesn’t make Honorable mention of SU guards, let alone players

Never coached a player that good? Lol. I think Melo, DC, Billy, Sherm, and at least 20 others would like to have a word with you.

This man is bringing A+ sarcasm and you are letting it go right over your head.

Pearl was the most talented guard to ever play at Syracuse in the JB era. I say that with the caveat that Dave Bing was likely the greatest but I am only discussing players from Coach B's tenure. I loved Sherm, Dion, Billy Edelin, GMac, and many others. Kadary had the potential to join the group but to say he was as better than all of them is simply incorrect. Melo, DC and Pearl are on his Mount Rushmore of players. Personally, I add Sherm and Billy Owens as the five best college players in Coach B's career. GMac, Moten, Dion, Wes, and John Wallace are my second five.Would Kadary replace any of them? Who knows but while I loved the potential I do not think so. Apologies to Ronnie Seikaly an Grant both of whom were hard to leave off my personal list.

If that is true where do you rank Joe?

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

If that is true where do you rank Joe?

Joe doesn’t rank either, and Buddy is TBD.
Dion, Triche, MCW, Battle, Devo, GMac, Flynn, Edelin, are ahead of both, just to name a few

If so, I missed the sarcasm font. My bad.

Sarcasm font is our friend

Shows how easy it is to troll and get people riled up. A little sarcasm is leading to essays of defense.

Says a lot that some people seem to thrive off of that, especially one who I’m pretty sure has been blocked by the majority of the board.

Visiting June 22-24. Squeezing him in next week between Westry and Starling. I think SU let the guards know the train is pulling out of the station and they need to get their ticket soon.

Copeland retweeted McAllister’s tweet. That was quick.

I know that Devo is loved but he was not better than Buddy. Never had the offensive games Buddy did for us and Devo's defense was just horrible.

 

[dasher]

If so, an awesome Plan C.

They aren't plan c to the coaches and I will leave it at that. But you can take that to the bank.

The coaches think he will blow up this summer.

The coaches think he will blow up this summer.

I had a feeling.

While Lands and Westry are my favorite players in the class (that we’re actively involved with), I’d be very very happy with Copeland. Im not sure Westry committing would impact him either, though they’re both 1’s

Sounds to me like the coaches are pushing for a Westry decision. The timing of this announcement, during Westry's visit, seems to indicate that. Assuming they take only one of the three guards they are looking at, if Westry is not willing to commit now, they want to push for QC/JJ. Puts some pressure on Westry, and also let's QC know where they stand. The next few weeks should be interesting.

Get back to me when Buddy stands on the scorer’s table after a shot that didn’t count.

Copeland, Westry, Flip, Taylor seems VERY reasonable right now

Copeland, Westry, Flip, Taylor seems VERY reasonable right now

First of all, I'd be thrilled to land Copeland.

But I wonder if Copeland / Westry would cancel each other out due to playing the same position. The staff views Westry as a lead guard, same as Copeland. Don't think they fit next to one another.
