Class of 2021 SF Benny Williams (MD / IMG) COMMITTED/SIGNED TO SYRACUSE

[BurrowsSMG]

How tight are Etienne and Dior? I’ve seen them go back n forth on social media but is there anything deeper than that?

I honestly don't know. Been trying to set something up with him for next week and I'll certainly ask about Dior if we can connect.

Etienne is from Middletown and Dior from Saugerties. I’m sure they know each other since the two towns are one hour apart. Would hope they would both want to be part of SU’s resurgence and JB’s final teams

Just wondering where Williams fits in with Newton in the fold. Newton and Williams are both SF. Newton is slender and doesn’t rebound, so he’s not a PF.

Benny looks like a baller. Prototype SU forward. Think he is better than Newton. Take both if you can.

Not even worried about it.

SU has forwards. They all pretty much play the same. Zone responsibilities are the same. We’ve only had a couple of “true” power forwards in 40 years.

Need to understand that Newton doesn’t rebound at all. Zip. And Williams is 6-6. But not for me to worry about.

just a reminder: jb had a team ranked #1 or #2 for most of the season with a forward rotation of joseph, fair & southerland

 

[Gabjon]

Benny is a 2/3 type, Newton is more of a 3/4 type. Neither of them are rebounders at this point.

We need either Benny or Allen in this class.

no rebounds not minutes...

And finished the top 5 the following season with Fair and Southerland.

Does anyone know where we stand here? We need either Allen or Williams in this class

 

[jordville]

Dior added this Benny video to his Insta story...

 

[Bulldog04]

And then Benny followed up with a an orange and eyes emoji

After Saturday’s game, could really use some good news whether it’s Chance or Benny or both.

 

[pfister1]

If Jimmy B adopts JJ and Westry can they come off scholarship too?

No but scholarship offers made by Dior don’t count against the 13 limit.

It will be both.

 

[nyucuse]

It will be both.

Is this an informed opinion or wishful thinking?

Its not first hand but it comes from someone who has solid info. We look good at this point. Kid looks like he would be a solid addition. Not a program changer like Dior.

would be great, great news! grabbing Chance would be massive. getting both Chance and Benny would be unbelievable. Also a clear signal that recruiting is back and we will survive and possibly thrive in the transition from Jimmy to successor (at least talent wise). Leaving the cupboard stocked is half the battle.

Cuse!

Are we still recruiting #10 on that list?

 

[jordville]

Are we still recruiting #10 on that list?

Yes on Quincy Allen. But I've been under the impression that Benny is the higher priority.

 

[W'boro'Cuse315]

If we bring in Benny, will we have schollies available for The Jets as well? Do they walk on? Can we blame GMac if they don’t come?
