Class of 2023 SF Marcus Adams (CA) Offered

[Cuse44]

If Red is named the successor, I suspect we’ll still have a chance here.

I think he can keep players as well including Benny. Benny seems to be his guy.

JB can be a reason players come as is often mentioned that these kids can’t wait to play for a HOF coach but he could also be the reason so many leave.

I’m not saying I advocate for Red to get the job. But we’d have a better chance of keeping some of the key guys on the roster than with an outside hire (outside of maybe Pitino). And if he got aggressive in the portal, you could see Judah coming back if there were pieces around him that he thought could make the team a lot better. Of course Red would need to promise them that we’d be playing lots of man to man defense as well.

 

[Biaxtar]

Take 2

 

[dasher]

If SU is telling him a coaching change may be coming that would be a big reason for SU to not even make the top 3.

I am sure they are not telling a kid that a coaching change is coming. There would be no way to keep that a secret and Adams isn't worth breaking that story.

 

[Killdozer]

He was offered jobs last year already… the guy is a top 5 college coach of all time. There’s literally no reason he couldn’t get a big job in the next few years if he wants one.

Don't see it happening

 

[jgeorge322]

Don't see it happening

Compelling argument.

 

[DanielA]

Top 3 coming out in a hour? Syracuse should be in it

 

[Cusedog]

Lol aside from a pay day why on earth would a top 100 kid come here?

We used ti provide opportunity and a stage.

They read ed statements like this

 

[Jzsshuttles]

This whole fiasco with Markus Adams has been nothing but a DRAMA, keep your ass on the west coast.

Yup..kid craves the spotlight

 

[jgeorge322]

What? This is how every recruitment goes.

Do we want to keep many from this roster?

The commitment date is right after OV to UCLA. Seems like it is UCLA

Set commitment date without visiting ucla yet…

Makes sense, but I have a feeling he really liked Kansas.

 

[Admiral33]

Looks like it's Kansas.

 

[hoopsupstate]

No mention if he’s 2023 or 2024. UCLA already has two four star forwards for 2023.

 

[jgeorge322]

Feel like we got a decent shot here… no inside info of course

 

[Sbucketball]

Makes sense, but I have a feeling he really liked Kansas.

Although he said there's not much to do in Kansas, and some Kansas fans think he won't be coming. Still, I think he likes Kansas, but we'll see.

 

[Biaxtar]

I just dont feel it after he canceled our visit.

 

[jgeorge322]

Kansas seems like the type of program that would say, whatever Syracuse is offering, we will offer +$1

 

[721Comstock]

I just dont feel it after he canceled our visit.

Well, that was a second, unofficial visit.

He’d already made his official visit earlier.

I’d say we have
/ checks data
// crunches numbers
/// rechecks math

an approximately 1 in 3 chance of landing him.

Roughly.

 

[hoopsupstate]

He also said he nearly committed right after his visit to SU. If JB doesn’t come back, that could affect his decision. That probably won’t be known by next Tuesday.

Eh, Syracuse is probably the program that has to pay more. Worse coach (regardless who it is), worse facilities, worse conference, worse weather...
