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

[cliftonparksufan]

would definitely be an interesting reclass of “retroactive” 5-stars. The 2006 recruiting class, faired well. Players like Augustin, Earl Clark, Steph, Westbrook, taj Gibson, ryan Anderson,, etc werent 5 stars in that class either

I always thought Earl Clark would have looked great in Orange. He and Kevin Jones from West Virginia.

That win in Morgantown 2010 will be stuck in my head for the rest of time. I thought for sure Jones was hitting a winner.

Interesante

I wouldn't hate it...

 

[SUOrangeSU]

didnt realize he redshirted

 

[MSOrange]

didnt realize he redshirted

Me neither. He played 11 games and then was a medical redshirt after knee surgery.

 

[DilemaCuse]

Would be nice but went 0-14 from 3...yikes

At least shot 50% from 2

 

[orangepassion]

Wonder if the staff takes a ...Chance on him again

 

[phil77]

I imagine we would check-in here especially if we miss out on Moore and plan on going to a 3-guard lineup.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Oh man I thought this dude was going to be big time.

 

[DilemaCuse]

This guy had a serious path to playing time here but couldn't see it and went a different route

 

[Orangezoo]

ACL?

If so...recovery timeline isn't gonna work..

Remember when we thought we were going to have a class of Zion Cruz, Chance Westry and Dior Johnson?

Dior- DNP, domestic violence arrest
Chance- 11 games, averaged 2ppg and then med redshirt
Zion- played in 27 games, averaged 2.4 ppg on 33% shooting on a 10-23 DePaul team that had dozens of fans at every home game (do parents still count as fans?)

 

[Cusefan0307]

I don't think we should be sold guys are good just because they were a former 5 star or high 4 star recruit. We've seen that with our own guys.

Remember, the real victory was just by being involved with those recruits.

ok - help me here. JB used to be really good at identifying talent, or at least most of us thought he was. Did that skill go by the wayside because he wasn't really watching kids play anymore, or was all just luck to begin with? There are a handful of players every year that are sure things, the rest seem like a total crap shoot.

JB was very good at identifying talent early, often other coaches would begin recruiting his recruits after he did, but over time his ability to land these recruits diminished. He was in after Clingan very early, also Andre on UConn but landed neither.
It is a fact of life that players are more hesitant to sign with older coaches and JB had just reached the end of the line.

He also identified Westry and Cruz. (not to mention Carey, Goodine, Joseph etc.) I know they are young, but they haven't shown much so far.

 

[RealMcNeil]

Westry had his knee scoped before the season (I believe with Pearl), and likely rushed his return. Kid was/is very talented, but knees are very fickle.

Right now, what we need most is toughness. We need some dawgs.

 

[AZOrange]

Was wondering when this would break

 

[jdubs30]

Kid just seems like the Louisville/DePaul type

This explains his poor showing in his first year at Auburn!​

Sorry, I think there’s no chance.
