Class of 2017 SG Brandon Randolph (PA) to Arizona

I didn't hear anything about how his visit went last weekend. If there was anything, t was awful quiet. I would love to get this kid. Just what the Dr.QG would ordered. ;)
 
I may be in the minority here, but I actually like the fact that not much has been said anywhere about the recent visits. Maybe its these damn orange goggles I can't seem to shake, but, I digress. It feels like a good sign honestly, couldn't tell you exactly why, but that's my -2 cents.
 
Gut feeling but I think we end up with Randolph. And if we can get Green, which I think is a distinct possibility, we are in good shape to have one of our best classes in history.
So if SU had the amazing fortune to land Green and Randolf, i agree 2-3 other sizable dominos could likely fall in place after that. But what do people envision? Richards would be next domino? Tucker? Outside chance at Bamba? Anyone else? If we get Randolf do we have ANY chance at Ham?

Edit, last question- any chance Ham could be a 3 at SU instead of a 2?

Judging from what we've heard and read, I think the Diallo ship has sailed. Could be wrong, but I'm not sure we want to go down that road.

Where is he supposed to go? Pros? Uk? Uconn? I cant see duk taking a shooting guard that isnt an elite shooter

You gotta think that if we get Green and Randolph, we're serious players for Bamba. We'd have his AAU PG (Green) and his AAU and High School SG (Randolph). At that point, we might as well lock up Cole Anthony and Deng Gak as well and just make the PSA Cardinals the official Syracuse feeder program.

I've been on that train since EYBL. PSA Cards would easily make the tournament if you threw them lock stock and barrel into D1 right now.

He could go pro, as he has graduated high school. He would be taking a prep year, but just like Thon Maker, he will be one year removed from graduating high school, so he could enter the NBA draft.
 
I would love to pick up Randolph. He is listed as a SG, but I think he would fit into the same role as Malachi this past year. And Malachi's success in becoming a one-and-done first rounder makes it an easy sell. Then we can try to land a big time SG like Lonnie Walker.

Can Walker and Green coexist? I read somewhere Walker wants to be a lead guard. I'd love to get both, but I could see that being an issue.
 
Triche and Scoop co-existed. We can run combo guards where either brings the ball up and runs the O. We're better when the guards are inter-changeable.

I agree with Phat, I think they could co-exist. Quade Green is a point guard. Lonnie could play the 2 and take the lead on some possessions. If he wants to play point guard, it probably won't be here. But, much like Tyus Battle, he likely wants to showcase his lead guard abilities for the NBA. I am sure he would get that opportunity here, albeit not as the starting point guard.
 
May actually appeal to Quade a little bit to play off the ball some. He played off the ball at times in high school and EYBL and was still effective. Could free him up to run off screens and get open that way as opposed to always having to create his own off the dribble.

The staff is smart. It's easy to pop in tapes of Steph Curry using screens to get open looks from 3 and tell him we'll utilize his skill set in a similar fashion.

We need a guy to run our second unit. lol
