Class of 2019 SG August Mahoney (NY) Portal from Yale

[Cuse1055]

Tweet out there predicting landing spots for remaining top transfers has SU as the predicted landing spot for Yale transfer August Mahoney. No idea the reason for the prediction, although he is originally from Albany I believe.

 

[UpstateSM]

He would be a very good add

I've posted about him a few times. From Saratoga and played at Albany Academy. He would be a great off the bench shooter.

He would. But what does that do for our rotation and does that effect Moore in a way that makes him leave at the end of the year?

Mahoney is a grad transfer so one and done. If he takes minutes from Moore, it would only be because he's on fire and Moore is not. Did play some good minutes for Yale, so it's always nice to have an experienced 5th year player on the bench.

He has really deep range with a quick release. 45% from three last year. He’s exactly what we need for veteran depth off the bench.

6-4, when you go 3 guards with Bell off the floor he doesn't hurt you. A great add if they can get him for one year.

He also does only one thing….

 

[baggerbob]

He also does only one thing….

But he's a guard not a forward, and that remains to be seen.

But he does it better than almost anyone!

Good evening Mr. dasher. Have you heard if there's any smoke here?

 

[Cusefan0307]

I’d prefer this kid over Taylor. He’s played well against legit competition.

 

[Motensocks]

Didnt know he still had eligibility.

Agree for those who still insist JJ is the answer as a 3 point shooter, look at this kid's stats and you'll crap your pants.

Do you think getting choppa more minutes where he serves as the primary ball handler could be the answer?

I don't.

 

[walsh2012]

I don't.

Thanks!

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Yale?

Sounds like a nerd.

I'd take him tho.

 

[dasher]

I have made an important decision. 45% from 3 is very good. I want this kid. Which probably dooms us.

 

[Cuse_bball]

Pretty sure he’s in the same boat as ledlum and dingle from St. John’s. Out of eligibility unless they win the court case to get the extra year.

 

[sutomcat]

It would be funny if we lost our top assistant to an Albany era school and this was followed not long afterwards by commits from two Albany area players.

 

[Sherman20]

I have been banging the drum about this kid for over a month. I thought it was odd we didn’t get involved with Mahoney after Leffew spurned us.

It looks to me as though you are correct.

This article makes it seem like it is unlikely waivers are going to be given.

Jordan Dingle and Chris Ledlum apply for fifth-year waivers

Both players missed the 2020-21 seasons due to the Ivy League season cancellation

I still cant believe people thought he shot well.
