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

[Consigliere]

Leash and playing style are 1000 pct different than MPG...

So since there is no data point, which of those frosh were constrained by a “leash”?

 

[CuseChat23]

I'm sure that is why we don't get more 4 & 5 star guys here anymore because they are afraid they might be on his leash or in his dog house. I wonder what Griffin is thinking about his transfer choice. I'm glad Benny is coming and hope we can find a big transfer center.

 

[Footey04]

Depends on the exits of other players and who they are. Knowing what I know, there’s one main player that if he leaves (50/50) theres a good chance. If he doesn’t, then it’ll be close

I think one of Griffin/Guerrier has to go and marek I don’t see coming back.

Anybody at Arizona from the east coast? They are about to get hammered by the NCAA.

 

[StPeteOrang]

I think when we add Benny and if we get either Griff /Q/marek back we are just a center away from being a really good team. We are so weak at the 5. If we solve that I think it’ll fix a ton of issues

Are we sure? They're not South Carolina. I thought a dozen teams would have been hammered by now. Sickens me to watch UL beat us when they cheated while on probation for sex trafficking.

Have all go. We going to have Benny, Newton and Braswell.

I’m good with that, bring in a grad transfer center and let’s roll.

Also lots of length on the back line. Just need a big bodied, shot blocking
Center to clog the middle. Maybe 2 of them.

I just really want to know: what is Woody’s “playing style”? And what are we asking him to do (in practice, because he hasn’t had any meaningful minutes since December) that’s different from his playing style?

Maybe he plays hard all the time and it’s making the other players feel bad.

 

[Cuse Countr]

Eli is 6'6" 215.

Benny is listed as 6'8 185.

So, you'dve been happier w/ Eli if he lost like 30 lbs then?
To have more of a "forward build"?

Was gonna add "do 2 inches really matter that much?" - ok, so I just did.
Yes, I know. That's what she said.

Don't know if anyone has responded to this(I'm not checking lol) but I believe hes 6'9 205 now

So does Jon Rothstein.

I totally agree with but like to see them add a transfer pf and transfer center.

 

[Footey04]

What about Jaylen Butz a 6’9 230 lb power forward transfer from DePaul. He would add some beef and then maybe transfer center as well.

I like big Butz, I cannot lie.

He would be a great addition

Let’s get him and get twerk.

For sure we need some muscle.

Longer one but worth the listen. Very beginning is asked about trying to recruit his other 5 star friends in the 21 class and he says he's recruiting who he's told to recruit and mentions talking to Red often.

But who's telling him???

Red. or the other guy???

 

[Cusesky8214]

Also mentions how growing up Cuse was always on the TV and how it was such a big deal for them to be recruiting him and wanting to help them get back to the success they are use to having. I don't want to turn this into another one of those threads but just frustrating a bit how we have taken our foot off the gas a little with recruiting lately. We are still Syracuse basketball and we are a big time program. Gotta get back to consistently bringing in talent like Benny (he's a awesome pick up for us) Would love to go on a nice post season run here with some JB magic and see us use some of that momentum for 21 (maybe we arent finished) and for 22 class...JB deserves to go out with a bang as a nice gesture to the NCAA.
