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

[hoopsupstate]

Nobody on IMG plays any defense. JT got smacked twice going to the basket. Pretty weak drives. I don’t see Copeland or Taylor being ready to play next year.

 

[IthacaMatt]

New one

He didn't look that great in the last clip.

 

[AZOrange]

It’s HS

I’m aware

 

[pearl31]

I’m aware

HS means high school.

 

[Orangezoo]

I’m aware

If you handed this game highlight video over to someone who knew nothing to who these kids were or ranked..

They would highlight the play of Fernandez and Storr. Not sure anyone else is even noticed on IMG.

 

[kcsu]

Hes our best pg now.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Hes our best pg now.

Yeah I don’t believe that at all. Are we averaging 78ppg this year with Copeland at the point?

 

[kcsu]

Yeah I don’t believe that at all. Are we averaging 78ppg this year with Copeland at the point?

No but we are winning more games

Yeah it was a storr highlight reel

 

[Cusefan0307]

No but we are winning more games

Don’t believe that either.

 

[kcsu]

Don’t believe that either.

Ok

 

[Orangezoo]

Hes our best pg now.

It's hard to trust that a kid is going to do well anymore unless he is jumping off the video or dominating. Even then- we have nothing until they are Orange clad and doing it on the Dome floor vs an opponent.

 

[007]

Hes our best pg now.

I have to give you credit, you consistently climb out on the thinnest of limbs with all your declarations.

 

[Bulldog04]

If he plays more than 5 minutes next year I will be completely shocked

 

[goofnoff]

Over the years I've seen way too many recruits disappear to let myself get excited until they are on campus and in the Dome. We've had a lot of talent come from Philly over the years.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

If he plays more than 5 minutes next year I will be completely shocked

5 mpg, or 5 minutes all season?

 

[Orangezoo]

If he plays more than 5 minutes next year I will be completely shocked

Just hope the year after that number jumps a lot. I agree though- he didn't make the jump we hoped it appears. A lot more work to do.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Hes our best pg now.

Joe is all defensive team compared to this guy. He‘s totally uninterested in guarding anyone. As in terrible.

Yeah from that tape vs RB's team I'm not even sure you could call it matador defense even.

Right he wasn’t even running back on half the plays. The teaching of basketball has gotten so bad

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Right he wasn’t even running back on half the plays. The teaching of basketball has gotten so bad

I mean, he's at a top flight academy - they're not teaching this?

 

[grepal]

If the only returning guards are Joe and Symir and Benny and Ajok are the only retuning forwards, then all of our fans who clamor for freshmen to play through their mistakes will get a real opportunity to see what that looks like.

 

[Orangezoo]

Yeah and I'm not impressed by IMG so far at all. Looks like they didn't do much for Benny and will be curious on JT and QC when they get to campus.

Jesse for sure has been great so that was a good find, whether his time their did much not sure.

 

[Windyfly]

Joe is all defensive team compared to this guy. He‘s totally uninterested in guarding anyone. As in terrible.

Coaches have to get him to buy in first, before he will ever make an impact on the floor here. This is a process that could take a couple years before he puts it together. It’s not just defensively, I’m afraid it’s offensively too.

But this kid definitely has the potential to be special if he can buy in mentally and work hard on his game, at both ends.

 

[Bulldog04]

5 mpg, or 5 minutes all season?

Mpg. Joe is playing every minute next year if buddy doesn’t come back. And then symir will be at point and move Joe to the 2. But I don’t see QC playing at all of any sort of impact.
