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

[SUFan44]

Westry was the guy I wanted last year all along, even moreso that Dior Johnson.

He's a stud unless the injury derailed him.

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.

Oh no. not their camp

 

[cuseallday]

Lol. I get it.

 

[RF2044]

Oh no. not their camp

I actually take that as good news. It indicates that they know they made a mistake the first time around, and they are gauging interest from what should have been their top choice.

Promising.

Promising.

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

Does Taylor stay? What about Bell? Really hope Copeland sticks around. Someone mentioned today that they wouldn't be suprised if we lose another player or 2 to the portal...I think there's still lots to figure out before we figure out what our roster will look like going forward. Lots of moving pieces.

I think so too. If his camp is reaching out right away to see if we're still interested then ill take that as a positive.

Agreed

who cares? only the strong survive. it's a dog eat dog world. all's fair in love and war. Do I need any more cliches? Get the best guys possible in the portal and let the chips fall where they may (another cliche). Can’t worry about hurt feelings. The failure to hit the portal last year because we had 6 freshman coming in resulted in another lousy season. If guys don't like it, they can portal themselves. Use 14 scholarships on the best 14 you can find. Joe and Symir saw the handwriting on the wall and hit the road (more cliches).

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?

 

[RF2044]

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

 

[UpstateSM]

If we bring in Moore, why Westry?

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.

 

[Cuse181]

If we bring in Moore, why Westry?

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

? 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.
