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

[Gabjon]

it won’t be for lack of effort they don’t get him if they don’t get him. But still think it’s too early but he’s priority number 1,2,3,4 and 5 at the moment and I do like the chances to be honest. Benny was first piece. Mac is hopefully2nd and then there won’t be anyone else

This is why Griffin is playing guard, are not even recruiting another until the 2022 class.

We recruit better when the entire country is under quarantine.

Boeheim In his element recruiting from home. It’s no mystery he hates traveling to recruit. Can do everything and more from home. Jimmy happy. Jimmy recruit

Please share a few gems if at all possible

Gayle?
Westry?

2022....

 

[Cusefan0307]

2022...

Ah yes. Griffin is the 4th in my assumption. The 4th guard rarely gets much time though. Look at this year. The third wasn’t even happy. Players know how JB rides certain guys.

If you think he came here to be the 4th guard, then don't no what to tell you. I will be pleasantly surprised if he gets a waiver, but top 3 will play I agree with that.

When SU recruited well they were always a couple of years early getting involved with kids. It looks like we’re back to targeting kids early and then locking them down. This has been a refreshing couple of days. I think the focus is on Etienne and the 2022 and 2023 classes.

Future is looking pretty bright. Huge get in Frank, Benny has been ours for awhile behind the scenes but nice to see that it’s finally official. We are going to have a couple more huge recruiting wins within the next 3 months-1 year. I think the 2021 team and 2022 team are going to be some of the strongest Cuse squads we’ve had if everything pans out like it’s looking like right now.

The recruiting sanctions hurt us when we had limited coaches out on the recruiting trail. We couldn’t spend time on young players. We were just trying to stay alive with the next class.

How confident are you well get at least 1 of Westry/Cruz/Gayle? 80%? Who’s the most likely of the 3? And do we take whoever commits first or do we have a preference?

the

he has a good relationship w/ woody newton which should help. and the two of them would make a great set of tandem forwards.

benny & woody are the complementary set of bookend forwards we haven't really put on the court together since fair/grant. super excited.

Westry better jump on a commitment soon or he’s gonna lose his “chance” to some one else (see what I did there?)

Yup and an athlete like Frank in the middle is huge. That’s a solid back line.

Potentially with Dior, and a senior JG up top...

 

[jdubs30]

Potentially with Dior, and a senior JG up top...

Senior JG3, FR Dior, JR Kadary
JR Woody, SO Benny (Assume QG leaves early)
Senior Edwards, JR JBA, JR Anselem

That team in itself is a top 25 squad ! Gonna add another 5 star G/ and a 4 star big... wow

Right now. I’d say higher than 80% we get one. I think Westry could pull the trigger any day and it wouldn’t really surprise me. I think the only thing holding him back right now is his dad. His dad doesn’t hate us, just wants Chance to take his time but we’ll see. Zion I can’t get a read on but him playing with Dior at Oak Hill won’t hurt that’s for sure.

I think Gayle is being underrated, it’d be great to get a kid like that from NY

Oh, snap. That gave me simultaneous chills and a warm flush.
Beautiful announcement. Really jazzed to have him. Awesome.
Things are trending positive.
