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

[asj410]

Anyone else concerned that Chance didn’t post an Insta with a #notcomitted after his LSU visit?

Yep. Wasn't able to sleep at all last night.

Joking aside, without having any inside info, this one does seem to have some funky vibes to it that makes it hard to be all that optimistic about. It is comforting to know that we're going hard after Quadir and JJ though, so I'm sure it'll work out well for us in the end.

Much like Clingan with Hunter Dickinson, I would say LSU showing Chance tape of Cam Thomas and saying “this will be you”’is a damn good recruiting pitch

Yup. There are some parallels here with Anthony Davis [not exactly the same, but similar way things are unfolding], and I think we can expect a similar outcome.

Where have you been the last year+?

I have not seen that anyone has been convicted of anything yet, nor do I keep track of who is coaching where except for SU. I understand you feel their coach is a cheater, he may be, but I have no definitive knowledge of that. I in fact had no knowledge that one of the coaches involved in the FBI investigation, which I was aware of, was coaching at LSU. Why would I? I don not follow LSU athletics unless we play them.
My comments were not about their coaching staff, but my impression of their facilities, the overall campus atmosphere, and their academics. Sorry that you have difficulty with the concept that those things can be evaluated separately.

No idea how this plays out. Maybe it's me but shouldn't we actually wait for a decision and some proof before we start implying payouts, bags being taken...yadda, yadda, yadda? I mean what if after the LSU visit he makes a call and commits to Syracuse? Is his dad still unethical or is it all good?

the point is that it’s well known that LSU and Wade pay players families and/or handlers. It’s been caught on an FBI wiretap and Wade smirked his way through a cringeworthy press conference when asked about it. The shamelessness and arrogance he showed when confronted with evidence of his cheating is jaw dropping. He should never be allowed to coach again in CBB. That said, I don’t know if Wade and his money men are gonna pay Chance but I’d have to assume theyll “make a strong-a$$ offer.” Btw, I’m not necessarily blaming the Westrys for going that route, especially if they’re not well off.

There's still hope...?

 

[Cusesky8214]

Also worth noting that he didn't take a pic with scumbag...he did take a pic with our HOF coach. the tigers and Wade. Do your job NCAA.

 

[Madbiker]

Now that paying players is legal better believe Pearl and Wade will beat any offer for the guys they want. Probably already have a presentation for parents and handlers about an estimate of what they can expect to clear from NIL.

One thing I've noticed with Chance is that our current players don't really interact with him on social media like they do with other guys. (JJ/JT/DC/Flip) Any of our insiders have insight on how his visit went as far as hanging with the players? Usually you see our guys helping recruit these kids but this one is a little different.

Noticed the same thing.. also noticed it with Copeland as well.

Copeland and Taylor communicate. They played together in the spring, top.

Yes, that is true and JT has mentioned him in some interviews of late.

But I was speaking more of our current players who have been very active in social media with certain recruits. Copeland is not one of them.

Chance has made his decision...
... on what high school he will attend next year.

Edit: Hillcrest Prep is in Phoenix, so he is going back to the West Coast.

How many is this for him, three so far?

 

[jordville]

How many is this for him, three so far?

Yes... Trinity High School (PA), Sierra Canyon (CA), Hillcrest Prep (AZ).

 

[jordville]

HP has clearly known as they dropped this just after Chance made his post...

 

[CuseBlock]

Him and Dior sure are similar

 

[jordville]

PA connection in AZ - Philly (MM) and Harrisburg (CW)

 

[AZOrange]

Yes... Trinity High School (PA), Sierra Canyon (CA), Hillcrest Prep (AZ).

Didn’t expect that. Oh well.

 

[jordville]

Notice the Syracuse basketballs...
Could be a sign, could be a lazy edit... either way, there is still a Chance.
