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

[TheHaze315]

Okay, quick update. I checked with my source again. The source said Westry's camp has reached out, and once Westry is in the portal officially, SU will make contact.

Wow. Did not expect that. If his camp is reaching out the interest level has to be high.

If we bring in Moore, why Westry?

If we bring in Moore, why Westry?

Even if we bring in Moore, it sounds like we're going to be using more of a three guard lineup moving forward. Which means that five backcourt players could get substantial minutes. Plus, moore would be gone, possibly mintz as well, maybe even starling, the following year. So load up.

Bring them all in and play run and press forty minutes of hell

One of our bench pieces in that position group (Copeland/JT) is leaving?

I’d rather have both of them back but if one is already gone then sure.

 

[IthacaMatt]

If we bring in Moore, why Westry?

Yeah, we can't have 4 alpha guards. Can Westry shoot the 3? I'm pretty sure Moore is a pretty decent outside shooter, and a bit bigger, too.

 

[Trueblue25]

You take and play the best players available.

No team in history has ever said “shoot, we have too much talent”

Also Moore isn’t even in the portal

...which might ALSO be the reason why we're now kicking the tires on Westry.

 

[Todoubled23]

Still does, I think two of them.

Ahahahaha

Exactly

 

[baggerbob]

? Starling, Mintz, Moore, Taylor, Westry, Copeland?

You take all the good players you can get and let the chips fall as they may.
More talent gives you the best chance to win.

 

[cuseallday]

Bring them all in and play run and press forty minutes of hell

Yes, please.

 

[Cusefan69]

Almost to many moving pieces at this point and honestly I kind of like it. This will be a great early test for Red and co to manage the roster. Good news Westry reached out. Would hate to lose Taylor though.

If we bring in Moore we can continue to bring in more and respectfully get rid of less ( Copeland or Taylor). We can't survive in this ACC against the UNCs and Dukes with their top talents by being sentimental.

Copeland and Taylor were better than Westry in the minutes they received this season. And he’s coming off an injury.

 

[Cusefan69]

Agreed. Taylor shot 39% from 3 and I would propose that number stays the same or goes up with JJ and Judah penetrating and kicking out. Taylor is also 6’6 205. So depending on lineup could play the 2 or 3. I think people are cutting into muscle when you start naming Taylor or Brown to leave and Copeland needs another year away but the guy is from all appearances a great team player and lockeroom guy. He was cheering the guys all season. Never sulked.

Obviously sounds like Judah is leaving with the Westry recruitment

 

[rackman18]

You get rid of Taylor and you will end up wishing you didn't.

I'm not on the board a whole lot, so excuse my question... who is Moore? I don't see a thread on him?

 

[grepal]

Not necessarily, but AA needs to hedge his bets.

 

[MGDCuse]

Raise your hand if you "un-ignored" this thread today.
Also and for fun, raise your hand if you believe you will ignore this thread again

If you are running a 3 guard lineup there would be 30 minutes each for Mintz/JJ/Moore/Westry
