Circus is an understatement

Yeah I think it’s going to take a couple cycles for this to level off

 

[FreakTalksAboutSU]

This is type of circus you get when you recruit “top prospects”. Everyone thinks we should get the big fish always but this is the type of mayhem that comes along with it. It’s annoying and tedious for the staff and drags on and on. Pass

I still think we need to try for the 5 star guys but we need to be more selective for sure, and hopefully, some current athletes will get good NIL deals that make it worthwhile for the kids

I think the big deals will cause others to over inflate their value. There will be hold outs for top dollar and then scrambles to find a home, or go to a pay league

It's fun to see North Carolina get played.

Do not believe that we will go down that rabbit hole again. The ship has sailed.

I agree that it is fun when UNC gets played, however we don't really know what happened here. I can think of many scenarios where Hubert would tell Mt. Zion to take a hike. Maybe Cruz is just getting greedy here, who knows.

Let’s hope the don’t now offer JJ.

I agree...I was mostly joking. Although I wouldn't be upset if gmac hit em up with a hey Z whats the deal man?

 

[cuseallday]

Man, Zion's recruitment is all over the place. Anybody think that SU would make a run at him, especially if we miss on J.J. and assuming Chance is headed elsewhere?

No
We have 3 pt guards at this point. Rather find a creditable big man or push for JJ (even though you assumed he was gone)

Did Roys last check as the head coach bounce?

For Syracuse just recruit the NEPSAC, select AAU clubs (City Rocks, Takeover etc) and hit the portal

This had a lot to do with Roy stepping away

What. A. Circus. This whole 2022 recruiting cycle has been Looney Tunes.

 

[rrlbees]

Hip hop megastar Kanya West has his own school now too. Zion Cruz has already said he’s transferring there.

Kanye West running a school.

What could go wrong?

[OttoinGrotto]

Does this maybe help a little with Mintz?

 

[hoopsupstate]

It’s pretty sad where he ended up. There must be something going on behind the scene.

 

[Bulldog04]

Wow. What in the world was this entire recruitment to end up at DePaul of all places

A NJ kid heading to the great tradition of DePaul…nothing to see here folks….nothing to see

Maybe he got confused and thought it was DePaul high school

 

[AZOrange]

Well DePaul is in the running for other high kids at least one of which were on too. So ya know….
