Class of 2018 SF/PF Darius Bazley (OH)

[jgeorge322]

He de-committed because Matta was fired.

I think his decommitment was part of the reason matta was fired. It happened before the firing.

When he decommitted, he said its because he didnt envision osu as quickest/best path to nba. Just so everyone knows in advance...

 

[Alsacs]

Wow I'm shocked. Did not expect this. Ok if we get Carey everyone will shut up!

I will I can promise you.

Carey and top 30 Forward is a Syracuse recruiting class. The more good the less people worry. The less people worry the more optimism is around.

Holy yowsahs YAY!!!!
This kid is super studly.

Welcome!

That timing isn't close. He de-committed. Much later, Matta was fired.

 

[Alsacs]

It was a joke but thanks for the go ahead.

Not sure nowadays everyone comes at me. So I come ready. I apologize if it was light headed which I believe you meant it to be.

 

[HOFCeluck]

Can we hire a guy to shadow Bazely and keep him away from UK and WWW. He's decomitted from Ohio St already. Need to keep him under lock and key. When can he sign his LOI?

It's not football. Kids don't usually flip unless something drastic happens like a coach stepping down.

Big recruit to land coming out of the sanction era.. JB should tweet out a gif of himself beating the **** out of the NCAA.

 

[dasher]

I will I can promise you.

Carey and top 30 Forward is a Syracuse recruiting class. The good the less worries. The less worries them more optimism.

I have been saying that we 1. would have a good recruiting year this year and 2. would have guys coming back next year that we will be excited about. I see no reason to change that view. Three frosh forwards plus Bazley. And who knows about TT. We get Carey and away we go.

Reading the article from skowt it sounded like our ability to produce draft picks outside of the top 25 players was a big part of his decision.

 

[CuseLifer11]

The length with Brissett, Thompson, Bazley and Hughes is going to be bonkers

Thompson will not be here... but overall point remains valid. Even with TT Battle and Dolezaj almost sure to be gone, Brissett and Bazley w Moyer as backup F is awesome.

A senior FH and Hughes at guards.
Great base.

It was. I view your concerns as legit and reasonable. No issue with them being voiced on a fan board. That being said, i did not share the same worries, although doesnt mean i am right.

Back to the regularly scheduled program. This commit has me so pumped. Jb should send out a sean lewis post commit tweet of his own.

What'd ya know, some kids do pay attention

He voiced this as reason for decommitting from osu.

The short rotation does have its pluses.
Here is one.

 

[cuseinseattle]

I didn't see this coming. What awesome news. He fits perfectly and is an absolute beast. If we land Carey now we are going to be in great shape.

I really just meant it kiddingly... I'm very happy and relieved, and want it to stay that way.

 

[stone567]

Allen Griffin paying some fast dividends. Great recruit and proving the faith Boeheim had in him. Very pumped. This is the guy we needed to get the recruiting mojo back on track. Hopefully, this guy is gonna be a star.

 

[kcsu]

Okay this is beyond huge and shuts up a lot of worries.

Momentum is huge. I hope GMac was his lead recruiter to just give that guy a win.

Griff all the way on this one. Huge win for Griff and Cuse. Gotta love having him on staff!!

Great base.

If Dolezaj is OAD then I need to revise my expectations of this years team.

 

[kcsu]

And we could have had Jones if JB wanted.

Who says the assistant coach isnt important. Hire a pro and good things happen.

 

[pearl31]

The length with Brissett, Thompson, Bazley and Hughes is going to be bonkers

well TT won't still be here but throw in Sidibe and maybe Marek and yes some serious length

Did I say somewhere that ass'ts weren't important?

 

[dasher]

If Dolezaj is OAD then I need to revise my expectations of this years team.

He might be one and done to go back home and play professional. A little different than what we normally think of.

 

[SUskibum]

The basketball board as a whole should grab a cold one and get some sun over the next few days haha

You drive a hard bargain.

But I will oblige.

Doubt 'Cuse BBall at your own risk.

Why would you come over to the USA to play college ball if the goal isn't the NBA or an Education? I don't doubt it, just don't get the reasoning aside from life experience.
