Class of 2023 PG Trey Autry (Jamesville-Dewitt / OH) Verbal to George Washington

Could he already have an offer but its being kept quiet so not to scare off other offers? Didn’t Buddy not get more offers because everyone assumed he was going to Cuse? What would be the benefit of socializing Trey’s offer in particular if Cuse was after other guys? Or, what if Trey doesn’t want to go to Cuse? It wouldn’t be a good look if we offered and he didn’t commit. Call me crazy but I see only downside in having an offer publicized tight now. But maybe there isn’t an offer.

Good point. I sense he feels deprived of an opportunity to be recruited to his full potential due to his Dad's affiliation. A public Cuse offer would make it worse. Also, if Red doesn't get the job or Trey otherwise doesn't want to go to Cuse, extending an offer could be bad for Cuse recruiting because other guards might lose interest thinking that the Coach's son will commit and will be playing their position. Also awkward for Cuse if he picks another high major. All parties benefit from keeping it under wraps until minds are made.

Autry, the son of Syracuse assistant Red Autry, has visited Rhode Island and George Washington and is hoping to visit Cincinnati and Fordham next month.

As for a timetable on a decision, he said, “As far as committing I’m hoping by October but not sure yet.”

Interesting. Not a peep around whether he is considering SU or vis versa- close to the vest or just not gonna be in the cards?

He has only two P5 offers as far as I can tell (Maryland & Nebraska), and he's not planning on visiting either one.

Maybe he wants to start at a Mid-Major, and if he has success, he can portal after a year.
 
This is going to come across as controversial, but I honestly don't intend it to be, nor a slam against Trey.

But is it possible that he is a mid-major level prospect? The majority of his offers suggest that might be the case. Maybe he just isn't a Syracuse-caliber recruit, despite the family ties.

Again, not meant as a knock against Trey -- just asking the question / exploring if that's the potential explanation for why he isn't garnering more P5 interest, hasn't gotten an SU offer, etc.

understand your statement and not trying to be confrontational either. It is possible that he is a mid major level recruit. The same could have been said about Buddy. That turned out well.

it may be better to offered Trey and have him play and improve for 4 years than getting a 4-5 star player that leaves every other year.

By the way, how real 5 stars did we sign this past class besides Judah whom I believe is a high 4 star?

I actually wouldn't. Think of the pressure. JB had built up 50 years of good will and it wasn't enough. Might be better for everyone if Trey went somewhere else.

I would think it depends on his role with the team. I mean, if 1st year HCAA, basically tries to make his son 1st Team ACC, well...

It's also possible that the other three guards we've been linked to are higher on the staff's recruiting board then Trey.

Or a combination of the above, and Trey not being perceived as being a prospect at our level, so they are pursuing other options instead of settling and bringing him in before things play out with higher priority backcourt prospects.

Agree that Buddy was not highly rated, but he was the head coach's son. The head coach overruled some of the AC's in terms of who to prioritize in that class, to focus on Buddy. Could have backfired, but as you point out, it worked out.

Rautins is another example. Zero-star, if I recall correctly -- but the staff believed that he could play, and as the record shows, they were right. That's why the lack of SU offer seems unusual.
 
Trey has an offer to play here. Its not public and doesnt want it to be public. He wants to go through the process like a normal recruit and his dad really wants him to as well. He knows he wouldnt start day 1 and would be a 4 year prospect here.
Outside coaches and programs know this and aren’t actively recruiting him because everyone just thinks he is going to come to syracuse. Every top program has been at City Rocks games and have seen him. He’s been performing pretty well and he’s unique where he can play off ball or on the ball.
