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

[General20]

So we are heavily recruiting 8(?) guys.
Clingan
Westry
Flip
Taylor
Starling
Copeland
Bunch
Lands (committed)
(Anyone else?)

what if they all wanted to commit today? How many do we take? Who do we say no to?

Just my guess ...

Westry, Taylor, Starling - we take the first two who commit, the third misses out (and has no shortage of good programs falling over themselves to take him)

We only take Copeland if we miss out on both Westry and Starling.

Flip and Clingan we take on the spot if they commit.

We only take Bunch and others if we miss out on Flip. We will end up with a second forward in this class but we will only take a center if it's someone the staff really likes.

My guess is we end up with a class of 4. A class of 3 probably means we missed out on someone we wanted. A class of 5 means we killed it.

Lands-Bird in hand
JJ-Don't think he comes here, but he's an elite talent
Taylor-Shooting wins these days
Filipowski-Versatile big

I think its going to be difficult to get more than 4 guys due to concerns about PT

I think its more likely we get:

Lands
Westry
Taylor
Bunch

I feel that we need at least one capable big man either a PF/C that can play offense and defense. Filipowski or Clingan could fill the role if one would decide to commit. If neither decide to commit early to Syracuse, we move to others like Duke Brennan and other big men.

 

[nyucuse]

reread his post. Clingan wouldn’t have to know.

I don't think they are really overlapping. Westry is here 17-18, Clingan 18-20. They may spend a bit of time on the 18th, but I don't get the impression it's for one to try to convince the other to come.

Randomly logged into Instagram today for the first time in a long while. Chance has a picture of himself posing that was reposted by Kiyan. It just says underneath "my brother " gotta be a good sign the youngins are chattering.

I was going to post that I didn't think you randomly logged in to Instagram, but it appears there was a degree of Chance involved.

seems like one should construe his visit this weekend as a relatively good sign

I do wonder if Copeland is a first year phenom or is he a 2 yr or more guy where he comes in but not to start. Not sure in this current pro player environment it makes any difference but...

Relatively is an understatement

So playing the speculation game... If Chance pulls the trigger after his visit who would be the next domino after that?

Taylor imo then hopefully Flip or DC

Mrs. RF?

 

[chugg21]

I would be way more than happy with…

Lands
1 of Westry, JJ, Copeland
1 of Clingan, Flip
1 of Taylor, Bunch

Completely agree. Dream scenario for me to end up with 4 in that fashion.

He certainly has the physical attributes to be one of those guys that the NBA drools over and he bounces if he shows immediate promise. Not saying it'll happen but super long PGs are right in that wheelhouse.

Literally everybody who says literally means figuratively.

Metaphorically, yes.

I would guess there are probably some that are under the radar/our involvement isn't known publicly, but that certainly looks like the constellation of guys we're hearing the most about.

 

[kcsu]

westry
branch
Flip

 

[Madbiker]

Is the development that he is visiting with CLingan to try and help persuade Clingan to come as well?

It will be shocking if Clingan doesn't sign with Michigan.

 

[AZOrange]

It will be shocking if Clingan doesn't sign with Michigan.

Agreed. Or if Westry doesn’t sign with us

 

[Sherman20]

Chance, Lands, Taylor, Flip

And add in Quadir.

If Taylor commits early this summer, I think we could still land both Westry and Copeland.

Visiting today...

 

[Jeremy L.]

I don't think he visits a couple of days early without a reason for doing so. I have no insight, just my two cents.

 

[jdubs30]

How we feeling about a commitment before he leaves?
