Class of 2022 SG Chance Westry (PA / AZ Compass Prep) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (4/17/23)

[General20]

So if we get Taylor then how does the rest of the 22 recruitment shake out? Is it a Copeland or Westry situation and if so who do you guys like?

I think it's between Copeland and Westry no matter what. Westry plays off the ball now because his team has the best point guard in high school, but he looks way better as a point, and I think he will play point next year.

Westry is elite defensively, great passing, good slashing, and good shooting. Kind of a Kadary Richmknd type, but better offensively.

I've never watched Copeland play.

I’ve been trying to figure that out myself. I want them both, dare I say equally? I think they could play together, but Copeland, Westry, Taylor and Lands is a lot of guys in the same class for seemingly three positions. I think we’d be lucky to get any of Copeland, Westry or Starling.

I had a mental lapse and forgot all about JJ. Good problems to have now we just gotta get the dominos to fall. For whatever reason I love Copelands game and the idea of him running the point for us. I'll be happy with a combination of them but I'm holding out hope we get him with JT.

Copeland’s size and swag would be sweet. Westry also has size and swag. Starling is smooth. It’s crazy, I wish we could make all three work.

I'd also say it assumes we land Taylor, which may not happen.

Lands/Westry/Copeland would absolutely work as a trio.

Westry/JJ/QC in that order talent wise. QC is very diff than the others who are combos

I think that's right.

QC is so intriguing though because of the potential fit being a) a true point and b) a giant at the top of the zone, assuming we're a zone program going forward.

AND a guy who (most likely) would not be a one-and-done, giving us some long-needed stability at the PG spot, for the first time since... I dunno, MCW?

My Kingdom for a Westry/Lands duo

I think Starling projects that way too.

Copeland is like a poor man's Pearl. Flashy as hell, really talented, great vision, terrific handle.

His stroke is much better than I had expected, as well. I love his game. I think he ends up a top 30 player by the end of summer.

This move back home is more favorable for Cuse. Love Chance's game. He would look great in orange!

 

[orangefog]

Chance Eastry?

 

[SUOrangeSU]

Very good news that he’s back on the east coast

Cmon Chance make it happen. You took the time your dad wanted you to take to evaluate your options and now it’s time to go with your initial gut instinct.

The “team, dad and AAU coaches” always know better though

 

[OrangeDW]

Chance Eastry?

Georgetown is trashy minor league stuff in the 2020s, and Maryland’s coach is a psycho weirdo. Easy choice.

One of those situations huh

They all are lol

 

[AZOrange]

Great to hear with Chance! Wrap it up!

He must be thrilled. Seriously, can you imagine how honored he must be that Hurley finally put the crack pipe down long enough to offer one of the top 30 players in the country?

He just offered Ty Rodgers too .. it’s like he waits a year after most teams offer lol

I wonder if he's tossing a late, wider net because he's been hearing "No" to a lot of his earlier offers.
