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

[SUOrangeSU]

Yeah I don't think this kid knows how much him coming here...I won't say "Saving our program" but is going to keep our program more relevant than him not coming here.

 

[orangefog]

Given Benny's size and elite, well rounded skill set, I'm surprised there isn't even more hype here. True 5 star. I think he will be an impact starter from day 1.

If he got to play AAU last summer, he would be in everyone’s top 15.

 

[007]

I suspect there would be more hype if he played literally any other position than small forward.

If that's true, then people are underestimating just how good this kid is and how much of an impact he will have, especially on offense.

If Quincy returns, he and Benny at the forward spots will be a serious force to be reckoned with. Add in Griff and Woody Newton and we should be elite on the wings. Now we just need that Huntley kid to sign with us.

Will be REALLY interesting to see what happens with our frontcourt this offseason, and who returns.

Have to believe that Sidibe isn't going to bounce back physically, and is likely done.

Will Marek return, or will he head off to pursue professional opportunities?

Will Quincy parlay this big year he's having into NBA draft potential [if so, he gone]?

What will Braswell do? He's played more, but will he take his COVID-19 mulligan and set off in search of more bountiful PT elsewhere?

We could have a situation where all of the above leave -- which would leave Woody, Griffin, and Benny as the forwards.

Calling it now, the forward rotation next year is Bobby, Woody, and Benny.

One of Griffin & Guerrier will stay.

Nah. They gone.

Will Girards motor improve? And by “motor” I mean the one that powers the Rascal he uses to get around Wegmans.

This is one of your best.

 

[007]

Nah. They gone.

Where is Griffin going? Hell?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

He will declare for the NBA draft.

I'm not sure about "elite," but we will finally have the talent at the wings (and PG) to compete with the top of the ACC

 

[syrBossHogg]

I really really really really really really hope we can have Quincy and Benny at Forward next year

 

[007]

He will declare for the NBA draft.

That would be a huge mistake.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

That would be a huge mistake.

I agree.

If you send your child to St. Andrews Episcopal School (same school as Barron Trump) you don’t skip college all together.

I could certainly get behind a BBW rotation. Tons of potential.

Griffins not going anywhere

It only costs $45,000 a year to send your kid.

Seems clear several people will not be here.

And we’ll be really good at the spots no matter what. Pretty much no matter what, we’ll have at least 3 good players there.

 

[OrangeDW]

He will declare for the NBA draft.

Agreed. That is clearly his goal. He’s pressed as hell out there. He has the raw tools that fit what the League is doing, to be on the radar: good 3 point range, athletic, and potentially a versatile defender who can guard multiple guys out there.

Quincy will have a difficult time guarding athletic three men in the NBA. He’s also too small to guard fours in the NBA.
