Class of 2022 SF Kamari Lands (IN / HillcrestAZ) Decommitted

[IthacaMatt]

We will land another 2 quality recruits before it is all said and done and lets not forget the portal is also an option.

Well, a lot is riding on getting JJ now.

You don't just create relationships with kids in a month or two. It's too transactional as you try to build connections in a compressed time frame.

How many SU basketball players have deals so far ? I think you’re mistaken

We were neither prepared nor aggressive.

What big deals have been announced for any other college hoop players? Do you Really think Gonzaga is getting recruits or will get recruits from NIL? It’s not just local businesses, it is alumni as well.
let’s see where Lands goes and what other deals are signed before we decide nil is going to kill us.
And locally businesses will step up. Hell bill rapp was paying guys before it was fashionable. There will be opportunities for Syracuse players to cash in. We are in the infancy stage here.

 

[PhatOrange]

Time to give Bill Rapp a call.

 

[AZOrange]

it’s like nobody has read what Lands admitted to.

It’s incredible actually. People in here don’t pay attention. It’s like yelling into a hurricane. Cuse has to decide if we will play the NIL game and to what degree. If we don’t no coach will land top 25 guys here

 

[AZOrange]

You mean how to be the highest or close the highest bidder? I’m sure you know the coaches nor the school can offer money.

Yeah omg people aren’t getting it

 

[walsh2012]

I feel guilty for how i viscerally reacted to the actions of a 17 year old but to be honest decommitting has always felt slimy to me. What do you think COMMITMENT means?

Well Buddy does have that sweet Cameo deal. I mean we can talk Weitsman all day long and then Phil Knight says “hey guys…remember me?!?” I swear to God people don’t pay attention.

 

[AZOrange]

What this means is that Cuse needs to focus on the next level or two down. Copeland is a great example as with Taylor. That’s your target if you’re not playing the NIL game.

SU b-ball is basically the region’s pro sports team from a popularity standpoint. I find it hard to believe NIL can’t help us. Personally I think the Costanzaism that runs deep in many is striking again.

 

[GENESEO1983]

It’s ok, we can still go 17-12 and make the sweet sixteen!! Our 2000’s John Cheney Temple run continues.

Clown response Bro!

It could if we decide to do it

Either play the fricken’ game or be prepared to recruit on a secondary level, as you say.
If we have folks w/ ducats, like Weitsman or even a Melo, we need to use them in situations like this. Either that or accept that we’ll always be on a lower level than the big $$$ boys. And good luck w/ that.

Likewise.

[CuseMan4]

Not a huge shocker, but sucks cause this kid is a STUD

 

[Todoubled23]

So the local businesses are the primary recruiters now?

Saw that LSU cat with that GT500 or something lol.

 

[AZOrange]

Yep

 

[SUFan44]

People do realize that it is against NCAA rules for anyone affiliated with the athletic department to do anything with NIL for a student-athlete, right?

Am I screaming into a hurricane here?

They were doing this for the last 4 seasons before NIL. Girard, Newton, Ajak, Edwards, the list goes on… not a one a top 30 recruit. Not sure your point.

It’s also “against the NCAA rules” to use NIL as a recruiting tactic lol

Stop yelling at that cloud, old man. The world has changed.

 

[OrangeDW]

Perhaps if we had more returning players that the average fan was familiar with, we’d have more guys with deals? Maybe once we get fans back in the Dome and have a normal season, and the normal excitement is back, and more than 1 guy on our team actually has a “big name”, we’ll see more NIL activity?

You noticed we changed approach in 2022?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Why would we decide not to?

Coach is old and just doesn't want to deal with it?
