Class of 2018 SF/PF Robert Braswell (SC) SIGNED WITH SYRACUSE

[Capt. Tuttle]

Gold is so 1990’s . Comon people get with the times.

Seinfeld is timeless.

2 4 7 is right all the time, especially on Bryce Golden.

Bro those hepatitis C ads...

I hope not I just bought a gold watch.

Something's up...curiously silent We're making guesses about what we think went down. The media is making things more enigmatic...reedny's attachment from cusenation.com shows MCALLISTER'S post on Braswell was cut short. He was originally visiting Tuesday BUT now I read he was here yesterday as well. MCALLISTER'S post sounded very positive as far as it went. However, there are no other posts/ announcements from any other source on RB anywhere so something happened I'd like to know about what …..maybe tomorrow A.M. we'll find out. Changed mind? I'm coming but I have to discuss it with my parents again?

Meanwhile, Osun Osunniyi was visiting today. Could his visit have changed something. Never saw anything like this half baked reporting today anytime?

McAllister and most writers pre-write articles like that so that they can just finish it up and get it posted immediately once the news comes through. It's not the 1st time one of his pre-written articles like that has shown up early. No one should be taking it to mean anything whatsoever.

These aren't the pages you're looking for.

Why did the Stormtroopers buy new iPhones?

Because they weren't the Droids they were looking for.

Sounds like he’s covering his tracks

I check this thread at least 15x per day to see if he signed. I feel like Tyrone Biggums

 

[Day2]

I find the lack of a commitment at this point troubling.

I find the lack of a commitment at this point troubling.

Me too.

He is # 3 out of 3 forwards (excluding Hughes), so there is going to be playing time. He is going to get a lot of minutes if Sidibe is not healthy and Marek has to slide to the 5. If he is dropping jump shots, then he is going to get playing time. This should be a no-brainer.

Hughes would be ahead of him at the 3.

 

[OrangeYaGladi]

Me too.

As for me, not troubled in the slightest.

Come Monday, my trouble-o-meter might crack 5.5.

Must've been searching "Louisville recruiting visits" on Google.

I mean, it’s between us and UMass. Unless he’s planning an announcement event at his HS, there shouldn’t be anything to think about.

I can see that against a smaller OOC team or BC, especially if we're getting zoned. Buddy (SG) and Hughes (SF) give us two good wing shooters. But against bigger conference teams, I would prefer a stretch-4 type of player like Braswell. Even Tyus, who's very strong, has played SG for us not the front line. Andrew White, who's 6'7 and very muscular, struggled to rebound when he played SF - 4.5 rbp in 37 minutes. Fortunately, Oshae came in (6-8 pogostick) and saved us on the glass (along with having a real center). His rebounds almost doubled White's. So I don't know why we would downsize SF unless there's a strong situational reason.

 

[PhatOrange]

why are people troubled by kids being recruited for depth. he's unlikey to contribute next year and then we'll recruit over him.

If perceived strength of program was the only factor in any recruitment, there would never be a need for campus visits (or much of the recruitment process whatsoever).

After this past season, the importance of depth should be obvious(not meant to come across rudely). Plus, he could develop over time.

Pretty important depth. We just lost two forwards we were counting on. Currently, we have zero backups at the position unless we start asking our SG's to help there (been there, done that). Yes we can drop Hughes down, but that's a sacrifice on the glass. We won't need Bras to do that much since Oshae and Marek will play a lot. But 5-10 minutes per game isn't unreasonable .. and that's a contribution. Just spelling guys so we're not doing the dead-legs dance again.

Like celeb obits

Hughes can't play both positions at the same time.

Both these kids are good enough to contribute, IMO, and I don't mean 3 years from now.
