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

Benny has quicker hands on defense than I thought... Although It's hard to tell when you are up 40 at half time.

There was a play at the end of the highlight where an IMG player got full matador defense and almost looked embarrassed while laying it in.

I hope Benny is getting lots of time playing against really good players in practice, cause that game wasn't getting him ready for the ACC.

FWIW, ESPN updated their 2021 rankings for the final time today & Benny finishes at #30 as a 4 star.

Which leads us to our two eventual, inevitable-but-divergent, conclusions:
• If he doesn't transform our program: 'our recruiting still sucks because we can't get top 20 kids'
• He gets drafted late in the first round after his second season, so: 'recruiting rankings are meaningless.'

recruiting rankings are meaningless

 

[shu 49]

My take are his numbers are hindering him being up so much so quick and him not playing second half

Going to be really cool to watch Benny go up against the best of the best.

I hope he stinks. (For the record, I hope he does well but I don’t want a Darius Bazley situation. PTSD I guess.)

I DO want a Carmelo Anthony situation, though.

This game is where Benny Williams shows he might have that in him.

They sure went out of the way to pick the best role models possible as coaches.

Javaris Crittenton wasn’t available.

 

[HOFCeluck]

Did they ask Gilbert Arenas?

They did but he had a gun show to attend

So what happens after Benny drops 30 with a bunch of poster dunks and wins MVP of this game??

Straight to G-League??? or?

12mpg here while Swider and Jimmy each get 34mpg

That is certainly the history with top 30 forwards at SU. SMH

Can’t find where Iverson classic is televised.

Tyler Roberson only got in 20 games and averaged 8mpg as a freshman.

edit: even more depressing, we’ve only had two top 30 power forwards since Christmas signed with us, 10 years ago. Roberson and McCullough. And Roberson was 31st so can’t even technically include him.

Barring injuries, i anticipate Ben Williams playing closer to 28-30 minutes a game this season.

I’ll take the over on Benny.

 

[All4SU]

We could get players more minutes if we purposefully went to several overtime’s each game. Everyone gets minutes.

Didn't he get a late start? Thought his freshman year started in January for some reason, my memory isn't what it used to be.
