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

[Orangezoo]

I really want Copeland. He is just going to get better and better

He has that Melo like smile too.

 

[DoctorBombay]

I cant even think about getting both...I'd lose my chit no cap (as the young kids say)

* You see what I did there?

Oh we're getting everybody.

 

[syrBossHogg]

Copeland is next. Don’t think it will be long either. Full court press on Flip once Copeland makes it official. Lands, Taylor, Copeland and Flip is a hell of a class gentleman. We just need to get a solid center the 2023 cycle or in the portal and then we can start talking about some big time expectations.

Also of note. Most of these guys are multiple year players too. You might have one leave after his freshman year which means he killed it here but these dudes have their heads on straight, like to compete and I think you’ll see these guys stick around for 2-4 years.

Those four + senior JG3/Symir + experienced center tandem in Jesse/Frank is a great roster.

Yup. Don’t forget Benny. I think he’s here 2 years and then leaves

I don't doubt any inside info you have, I'm just gonna assume he's here for one year and not get my hopes up too much.

He’s going to be a superstar. Chance of year 2 will be like 10-20 percent

 

[HoustonCuse]

I think we’d all be well served to consider every player to be a one year player and be surprised if they return. Things are just different now.

Absolutely! Hard to think about guys sticking around long term anymore between professional options/transferring its just a different world. Recruit the best guys possible each year and bring in as much talent as possible.

 

[Cusesky8214]

I wonder if Quadir will be quick to pull the trigger knowing he could lose out on a spot. Gotta think he's close to deciding and you got people like Quade Green telling him not to mess around and wait too long.

 

[Scott11]

In interviews Taylor now touting his relationships with Quadir and Flip. That’s nice.

 

[IthacaMatt]

Which three? Taylor, Copeland (?) and Chance?

unlikely. Flip Flip for Chance.

I think he wanted to already. I would be surprised if it doesn't happen within a couple days.

Let JT have his day, and then tomorrow or the next day, QC can have his.

Copeland is gonna blow up at IMG too

 

[IthacaMatt]

Copeland is gonna blow up at IMG too

That is a great platform for him.

 

[CuseMan4]

Copeland is gonna blow up at IMG too

Yeah that’s what I was saying the other day. He’s already better than his “ranking” and now he’s going to IMG where there is some of the best competition every day and some of the best facilities. On top of being a 6-7 guard. He’ll blow up this summer and senior year. Kinda like MCW in my opinion. When we first offered MCW and when he committed he was a high 3 start, low 4 start if I remember correctly? Ended up being a McDonald’s all-American and a top 25 player. I can see similar projections for Copeland. He’s big time

 

[dasher]

Just hide in the garage behind the chain saws.

good idea

 

[IthacaMatt]

And always avoid the running car.

Quadir Copeland has the keys to that car ...

 

[GooseMutt]

Cope. Young gun. Pull the trigger and announce!

you’ll go to bed with a big smile on your face and so will we.

 

[Scott11]

Found it interesting that Quadir took the time to like every Cuse comment on his IG page when he posted his official visit photos. That had to take some time, there were tons of comments. You can’t fake his enthusiasm. I hope this thing gets locked up soon.

Personally I would much rather have this young man than any of the other guards. I believe playing at IMG, he is going to improve dramatically.

I know I'm mostly in the minority here, but Quadir is the one I really want. He'd be a 3+ year stud for us and would be the kind of fearless leader a program needs to do big things.
I can say honestly a class of Lands/Taylor/Copeland, by itself, would leave me feeling very good - any more would be gravy for me.

I'm with you in that I like Copeland. Also given the roster as a whole and not just the class I think he is the ideal fit overall while who stays goes or also comes (portal) is an annual unknown.

Yeah I been driving the Quadir bus for a while now too. I think there are better players in his class. I don't think there any point guards in the class that fit what we do better though, and I think we give him the best chance of any program in the country to hit his highest ceiling. And that's why I'll be thrilled when he commits (I don't know anything about anything, I just think it's a matter of time).
