Class of 2018 SF/PF Darius Bazley (OH)

[OttoinGrotto]

I don't know what everybody is getting so excited about, we're still all going to die someday.

That said, we're not dead yet.

 

[cusetown1]

well this commitment doesn't fit some of our posters narratives on the direction of the program. I'm sure we will be hearing crickets from them .

 

[jordoo]

This is my concern as well. Just gotta hang on before K and Cal notice him.

Bazley was a very early commit but obviously found out things weren't going to smoothly at OSU and was worried about their ability to help him get to the NBA. He had a much better idea of what he was looking for this time found it at SU and pulled the trigger. I think he'll turn out to be solid on his commitment.

There are legit concerns but the program isn't crashing and burning before our eyes. There is a middle ground.

I feel like we'd get one of swider and bazley, I prefer Bazley so I'm happy .

They've noticed him. That's why this is so impressive a signing. Griff really did amazing work here.

Not going to say it can't or won't happen but I HIGHLY doubt he would decommit from 2 schools in one year...i think we are solid here but will certainly feel much better once it's signed sealed and delivered!

Some of that, just this morning.

 

[SoBeCuse]

Wow. Freaking stud this kid. Great news!

 

[jordoo]

The exciting thing is that Bazley's game seemed to really come together for him in the last few months. Look at what he is doing now and realize he is getting better rapidly. He's got a chance to be one of those big impact freshman that get talked about all year.

 

[SoBeCuse]

Perhaps a top PG like Carey gets more excited knowing Bazely is Orange!

 

[iommi]

Surprised Bazley hasn't announced this on Twitter.

Probably having someone do up a edit for him in cuse stuff to post...im sure he will sooner then later I would think.

Exactly. That's another reason why losing Swider stung. Now we can point to Bazley as a running mate for Carey.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Great news!!! Come on SU recruits, let's now all get on board and keep that 'train on riding!'

I have long thought this would be a very cool "traditional" song (like "Country Boy" in B'more, or "Sweet Caroline" in Boston) to sign in the Dome.

 

[iommi]

Yeah, maybe. I'm not concerned just surprised.

 

[007]

I actually think he could play 2 3 4
His handle is very solid.

I'm a big fan, but he won't be a 2. He is the perfect wing for us.

 

[GooseMutt]

Somebody pinch me please

Cole who?

He still looks like a kid. When his body matures, he is going to be incredible. Problem is, it will probably happen after he has left SU.

 

[OrangeDW]

GRIFF THE RAINMAKER!!

 

[PeteCalvin]

Long, lanky, athletic lefty who can handle and finish with both hands. He can shoot it well enough. He's one of those forwards that can get the rebound and lead the break. Very skilled.

Sounds a lot like a kid from Detroit JB signed back in 1986.

 

[iommi]

I'm sure this has been posted but this is maybe my favorite highlight. Really shows off how skilled he is.

 

[baggerbob]

Watching Bazley play he plays similar to Lamar Odom. As a skilled lefty who can go inside and shoot outside.

Hopefully as some have said like the original DC, who blew up his senior year, and became a great player for us. DC could shoot, pass, handle, rebound, and play defense, and scare the opponents.
