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

[orangemass]

Okay... It's on!!!!

 

[CA Monk]

If we get him in the end, all I can say is, "All's well that Braswell."

 

[RF2044]

Hope we make a push here -- we need the depth, and I agree with 007 that this kid has the tools to be a quality player in our system.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Can we please just get this guy and be done already. Show him the film of the MSU game and where he signs onnthe LOI and lets be done with this.

 

[orangemass]

Just watched the video... I'm sold...

 

[Deano]

My opinion, staff was waiting to see what happened with Golden before they offered him.

If we get him in the end, all I can say is, "All's well that Braswell."

Even if we don't get him, I'm still saying it

 

[Trueblue25]

I prefer this recruit over Golden and Osun. Hoping this is resolved soon.

 

[MSOrange]

My opinion, staff was waiting to see what happened with Golden before they offered him.

Although personally I wouldn't mind having both, I think you're right.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Every situation is entirely different and nobody can judge a kid for making a decision he thinks is best, but I would be very surprised if we don't get him based on the circumstances.

1. Most of the other schools that have offered him. One team is not like the rest, and that is Syracuse.
2. Playing time NEXT year. It's available. This year we know this is a depth piece, but things happen and he will still see some PT.

I strongly like our chances. No insider info.

Blythewood coach Zeke Washington said Wednesday that Braswell is down to three schools, including Syracuse, Oklahoma State and Massachusetts.

Braswell has already visited both Oklahoma State and UMass.

"He likes Oklahoma State and UMass,'' Washington said, "but he's intrigued at what Syracuse has to offer.''

Other schools, such as Creighton, Pittsburgh and Charlotte have called recently, but according to Washington, Braswell has narrowed his focus to SU, Oklahoma State and UMass.

Washington said the Syracuse coaches are trying to schedule a campus visit for the athletic forward.

So it's between the ACC, and B12, and the soon to be B10

 

[Trueblue25]

No coffee for JB till he closes this.

 

[Whitey23]

Was it ever confirmed that our coaches visited him? There were the tweets about us planning to see him, then silence...

His TOS player page says Griff visited 4/18.

Shooters Shooters more shooters

 

[Cusefan0307]

This kid makes Marek look like the Hulk.

 

[SUOrangeSU]

Arizona State isn't a major program? Just gracefully accept your L.

I live 10 mins from ASU. They are not a major program

 

[Alsacs]

Just for depth purposes I would take this kid.
He is at worst a bench scholarship player and leaves before 4 years.

Plus I like the offense this kid could give.

As far as his freshman year, the biggest upside is that he has five PFs to give every single game ...

 

[newmexicuse]

Just watched his vid - he looks very smooth from three range, he is long, not super explosive, but reasonably athletic.

Can anybody please tell me why the staff prioritized Golden over this kid in the first place ??

My guess is Golden would be more ready to give ACC minutes this year.

 

[rrlbees]

My guess is Golden would be more ready to give ACC minutes this year.

And Golden is a 4 while Braswell is a 3. Going forward based on the roster and who we’re recruiting next year, we need more depth at the 4.

 

[Day2]

...and the soon to be B10

Wait, what?

 

[SacKingCuse]

Gotta like that we are the only school in his final three that will play a conference game in his home state. That should count for something. It’s about a 2.5 hour drive to Clemson.

 

[Alsacs]

Wait, what?

Cmon man.
What if the B1G goes for UMASS?
