Class of 2022 SF Kamari Lands (IN / HillcrestAZ) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE

[Trueblue25]

Cannot express how happy I am.

Get Jarace next, because Effff it JB’s going rogue

 

[SYR2RDU]

Word is also getting out to these kids that with the portal do not wait and drag your feet. Get your spot and then figure it out from there.

 

[Ceerqqq]

This one is much more impressive than the first one I saw. Serious potential.
Kadary who?

So, if he wants to recruit Bona, Bittle and/or Gueye from Prolific Prep for us, that wouldn't suck.

Which one are you again? I know that's Dash on the far right. Pretty sure that's CuseRunner in the Mickey Mouse cutoff tee.

I'm right in the middle. Still golden.

Fill the Dome!

 

[Killdozer]

Everyone here is expecting JB will play him. I'm expecting to hear that he is not ready.

Why do this now, in this thread, on the day Land commits? There must be a 'dozer somewhere you can kill...

orange79, can I use my catchphrase here?

Serious question. How long have you been following the Orange? You have a short, uninformed perspective.

Kadary who?

I like it better too... Until this one, I was kind of wondering what the evaluators were seeing to rank him so highly.

He is a very good shooter and this video showed a lot more of what else he can do.

His shooting stroke just seems... effortless, even well past the three point line.

It feels like our recruiting focus has moved from long athletes made for our zone who might be decent ball players to guys who really play basketball well (re: shoot well) and will have to make the zone work.

Swider, Lands, Buddy, Girard all have shooting as their primary strength. Meanwhile, guys who aren't such shooters are heading elsewhere.

that actually makes a lot of sense. Would also expect lots of going back on verbals for the same reason. For us and others

Shut youl whole mouth, Kirrdozel.

Richmond

Oh yeah! I remember that guy. Used to play for the Cuse...seems like so long ago. Had a lot of potential, as I recall, though far from polished. Hope he's doing well for himself...

 

[orangefog]

I would like to get excited, but I won't until we hear that he's taking summer classes. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice...

Agree, that second one was better. Can I be the old guy in the room (take some heat off JB for a minute)? I hate how they cut together highlight clips now. I love watching the whole floor, seeing how kids handle, pass, how quickly they make decisions. Now it's just finish after finish or shot after shot. Also, these teams are sooooo slow to react defensively. I think that really makes it tough to evaluate a kid b/c the team defense is A) super basic with rarely a secondary slide that I can see and B) Sloooowwww.

OK, back from old guy land -- kid seems to be a stud. Love the length. I'm fired up!

We can’t wait for you to play here.

Im not over Kadary - I know he is a lottery pick - but this is helping me sleep better

Jen Suggs, lottery. Not so much, for Kadary.
