Class of 2023 SF Marcus Adams (CA) Offered

[orangefog]

Maybe Quincy could tell him how well it’s gone for him at Oregon.

The problem is, Adams is the player Quincy wishes he was. And, that is not a knock on Quincy. Maybe it is.

Weitsman is bringing Adams to the Duke game? That’s awesome.

Not confirmed if that’s the game, but I did see on an article from on syracuse.com (paywall) that before he commits, Marcus will take an unofficial visit to Syracuse.

Either Duke of Wake Forest

Very good shot here. If one of the current forwards transfer, I expect him as part of the 2023 class. If not he’ll be 2024.

 

[Sbucketball]

I know this has been asked before, but I didn’t see the answer: why isn’t he showing up on any player rankings for 2023 or 2024? Odd that he’s not on any list if he’s as good as the article states.

I think they somehow overlooked him. He's only ranked on one or two platforms. I think he'll very quickly climb up, especially given his impressive top 5.

Oregon has plenty of Phil Knight (Nike) NIL $$$.

Exactly. And don't think for a minute there's not tons of $$ floating around UCLA and Texas too. That's a huge issue with NIL being such a major factor with these top recruits. AW is willing to spend which is great, but he's up against a lot of stiff competition. Pay for Play brings a lot of issues and lots of uncertainty into the recruiting process when you're up against the big boys with deeper pockets.

If he signs with SU, accolades to AW for being a factor. If he doesn't primarily because we were short $$ in the offer, should AW shoulder some of the blame. Can't take the good without also accepting the bad.

If someone outbids Adam, I don't blame Adam one bit. That is crazy. I thank him for trying.

So 2023 is a foregone conclusion ?

 

[Cuse181]

He mentions the history of UCLA, Oregon and Texas but not our history. Obviously UCLA’s history is up there as a blue blood, but Oregon and Texas don’t come close to us.

I would argue one of those (Texas) is because there isn’t much more to talk about with a coachless team, Oregon definitely has 0 history though.

He doesn't even have a profile on the ESPN or Rivals recruiting sites.

So 2023 is a foregone conclusion ?

I think Neil has reported that the NIL deal offered is for 2023 enrollment only.

Thinking it has become evident we need a minimum of one more forward for next year and Adams is the top choice. Believe I have also read Adams is of the mindset he is going to be a one and done...

What? He's trying to lure a kid across the country from CA to a program that hasn't competed for a conference title in 9 years with a 78 year old coach and uncertain future. And your gonna blame Adam, nuts.

Man your posts have just been extremely off lately.

I'm a little leery of guys outside of the consensus top 10 thinking they are 1 and done. Not sure what Benny's mindset was, but posters thought he was that level before he arrived.

Entitled teenagers are generally not great at self assessment. But some of these kids might also be in awful situations and want to make money ASAP to get their loved ones out of a bad situation.

It is nice that NIL is there to give some of these kids who want to get paid ASAP a reason to stay in college for possibly more than a year.

Just FWIW, it's not a definite that Marcus is coming up for an unofficial with Adam W. before making a decision. I spoke to Adam last night. Can't say much else, other than Adam is focused on getting Boogie up to a game, and SU is in a very, very good spot with Marcus.

Can Boogie reclassify, too?

 

[tptcuse]

I think Neil has reported that the NIL deal offered is for 2023 enrollment "doing charity appearances in Central New York" only.

FIFY

I haven't heard anything about that.

That's correct. Adam W.'s NIL offer to Marcus is for 2023.

Hint, hint!

Adam is going up against oil and Nike money. Not an easy task.

Phil Knight cares more about Oregon Football than Basketball.

That's true but they are going to have elite (pro level) training facilities for all their sports I imagine.
However the floor on their home court looks like vomit. Remind him don't end up like post SU Quincy G.

 

[AZOrange]

Good timing. Feels like we are in very good shape here.

Ours to lose
