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

[jdubs30]

We will take it of course (and love it), but the out of left field aspect is...different. Fingers crossed.

Seems like a lot of our commitments are like this. Every time there’s a built up “decision day” it never works out for us

 

[jdubs30]

Starling and Lands didn’t overlap at La Lumierre.

Didn’t realize that

Didn’t realize that

These guys switch schools so often it is hard to keep up.

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

For those who only read the main board.

Rated 19 and 33 in his class by the two most commonly sited recruiting sites.

If you were following his recruiting thread, this one feels totally out of left field!

 

[Niastri]

Dior may end up begging us to rejoin

I suspect that if Dior actually makes it to college he comes here. He was blocking us for kids that might actually come here, so he "opened his recruitment"

 

[CardiacCuse]

Wow great add!

His shooting touch stands out...you can almost feel from the clips how much feel he has for the shot...just dropping em in the hole...

 

[Niastri]

And sorry not sorry that I don't give a crap what some self-styled board cop with a lower post count than IQ has to say. Maybe you should try to stay on top of things more, instead of pretending that you're Lorne Michaels providing unwanted "notes" on an SNL skit.

Oh, and one more thing. 18 people understood the spirit with which the comment was intended, and thought it was funny, you're the dink who didn't.

Oh hammer don't hurt em

AWESOME !!!

 

[Mr. M]

Jesus. Gerry looks like Lord Voldemort in that pic

Looks like Mark Zuckerberg

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Nice get.

I assume Sophomore Kamari will be JB's replacements key guy once Buddy and JB leave.

No idea if we did any of that. I could be wrong. But my info is just about always on target. And this is the second time, after asking , that I have been told by a very good source, we aren't on him.

Was this a case of Kamari moving up the pecking order due to changes in roster and other croots status?

Never been happier that your info wasn’t bang on.
(not that that happens often, if at all)

I have no idea. What is strange, we have others that have great connections. No one knew a thing. No one knows a thing now.

As Dash said, none of the "insiders" had any idea we were even involved here anymore.

 

[sufandu]

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...

Crazy. We’ll take it!

What’s weird is - reading what Kamari was saying back then, he always seemed very warm for Cuse’s form -
But we seemed much less so in the other direction.
Which seems odd, given he’s a 5* (or high 4*, depending on source) dude who looks like he was created to play our zone.

I mean - we’ve had football players “commit”in the past, only to then find out their offer wasn’t commitable.

Don’t imagine we’d have that happen here, and now.

Kid seems like a perfect fit for what we do.
Like Mali only at 6’8”

 

[pokercuse08]

This is big! IF, and it may be a big if, but IF Benny is not a one and done, '22-23 is shaping up to be a really, really good team*.

1 - Girard
2 - Buddy
3 - Kamari
4 - Benny
5 - Jesse

* If we can find a proper point guard... Like a team that can be a 1 or 2 seed if we can get a proper point guard. Easily a top 25 team without, I'd say, but I'd worry that Girard would be exposed by an elite team in the tourney.

We had a basketball player who just transferred to Seton Hall commit before his offer was commitable too.

Kudos to the staff. Who was head recruiter on this?

God I wish he was coming this year to play with Benny... Any chance we can GoFundMe for Benny to get him to stay two years???

MikeSU02..... Gerry McNamara was the lead recruiter for Lands as is mentioned earlier.

I am repeating some information here but there is some information on him perhaps people on here should read again to really get who Lands is where he's from, etc.

From Indiana, he now plays for Prolific Prep in Napa Valley, CA.

Says Syracuse was always his favorite because of Carmelo Anthony.

Ranked as a FIVE STAR by ESPN at #19 on their 2022 list.

If you Goggle him and watch the tape available you will see that he is an elite level HS player / 6'8" 195 small forward with a big guard mentality.

Smooth shooter, beautiful stroke, hits from the 3, mid range, floater, dunk, virtually everything.

Looking forward to playing D in the ZONE.

Has been in constant contact with Gerry and JB and has developed a great relationship with them and the rest of the staff.

Wanted to commit now so recruiting does not interfere with his playing.

So, it looks like we landed Lands and he is a very, very good player.

Kamari & Prolific Prep playing right now on ESPNU in the Geico HS Nationals.

Side note: Adem Bona just blocked a shot by Gradey Dick.

After recently reviving this thread, with a d*** joke thrown in for good measure, I’m taking full credit.

FYI, I also recently revived the Chance Westry thread.

 

[CuseRunner]

Can we build a recruiting class with other high rated players around him now.
