Class of 2025 SF Sadiq White (NC / IMG) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (5/29/24)

[OttoinGrotto]

We were in on Freeman early, but we were pretty much out of the Freeman sweepstakes until Straughn came on board.

Wait what?

Wait what?

That is my understanding. We were in on Freeman, but he wouldn't have come here had JB stayed, and it was the Straughn connection that sealed the deal.

100%. He was heading to…think it was Bama then Straughn came in with the AAU connect

Let's us suppose that there is another big name recruit who is just waiting for someone else to commit because they don't want to be seen as the first recruit of the class. Hmm, Why, that would be two big name recruits in short order.

This Is the recruiting process I miss. Find a stud early. Staff Work their butts off recruiting him. Kid improves. Becomes a bigger stud. Chooses cuse. Coaches get rewarded. Program gets rewarded. Fans get rewarded.

It's gonna be a long day waiting for hopefully good news. I have to say, if we do get this commitment, and especially if we get a few others like Kiyan to follow, we may have turned the corner. Red pretty much pulled a rabbit out of a hat getting 20 wins last year with a largely dysfunctional team. Let's see what he can do with several studs.

Interesting that he has had 17 offers, paired it down to seven, but has had no official visits and no crystal balls. I guess we need a thumbs up or down from one of our insiders, if they have any idea.

If you scroll through the thread, you'll see where dasher, jeremy, and jake have weighed in.

Agree with this to the 1000th percentile

I recently listened to dabo Sweeney on the ACC network about his philosophy on transfers and he is spot on. He made perfect sense…I hope we can get to that point and not worry about transfers like Clemson but who knows

I could have sworn I did. LOL!!!

if we get White Straughn will be the lead recruiter on 2 of our highest ranked recruits in the last 10 years. Major props to him and looking like an incredible hire by Red.

Amazing he's gotten 2 5 star recruits in less than a few years compared to the prior lead recruiter.

For whatever it's worth, On3 has him going to SC at 23%, NCST at 20%, Cinci at 17%, and SU at 14%, though 3 of those aren't on his final list..

I really hope those are thumbs.

We're trusting the HAL9000 now?

Agree. We don't get it both ways though. We can't bring in top HS recruits and develop players into studs and dominate the portal and expect them all to stay around. There's just not enough minutes to go around, somethings gotta give.

I get so frustrated with posters acting like we are UConn / Duke / Kansas if we just do things in the offseason. Those teams can pay double and bring in more HS talent than they will ever use and then pull portal players just willing to sit the bench. We ain't that but we should be the next tier.

It’s worth what we paid for it. Exactly nothing!

 

[orangefog]

So, we’ll find out at 6pm

Has anyone used “White is the new Orange”, yet?

I hope not.

That's racist.

Probably when Uncle Drew committed back in 2016.
