He was the best.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

He was the best.

He had a very different take on the Aunt Jemima treatment.

I talked to him yesterday ... at length I wish I could say more on the forum but I can't - for now. But as soon as I can, trust me, you all will know first...but he's good!!!

“He’s good” meaning that there’s still investment interest?

“He’s good” meaning that there’s still investment interest?

"He's good" was a general statement that he's doing well in life. I can't comment one way or another regarding NIL, SU, etc., for now. If and when I can, I will share here first

 

[cuseallday]

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

I believe folks here are referring to Justin Moore from Villanova. Lots of speculation and rumors about him maybe coming to 'Cuse, but he's not even in the transfer portal, unless something changed this morning.

There is a ton that has been posted on this subject, but it's burried in the Brenden Straughn thread.

Here is a good start... New Assistant: Brenden Straughn?

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).

Technically, it's 13 scholarships, but take the best 13 guys. Your cliches are correct. Roll the ball out and sees who's standing at the end.

Hopefully we see more motion offense with more passing and more pick and rolls and a lot less ISO. And a lot more activity on defense.

So, more uptempo should mean more minutes to be earned. And if Judah leaves, it means he is leaving for the NBA. Not a bad thing.

Obviously sounds like Judah is leaving with the Westry recruitment

Well that’s not true lol

 

[kcsu]

Moore might not portal

 

[IthacaBarrel]

Obviously sounds like Judah is leaving with the Westry recruitment

Judah would have to drastically improve his draft position through the evaluation process for him to even sniff the first round and possibly the 2nd. Not saying he's staying or leaving but I can't find anyone anywhere where he is even remotely close to a 1st round draft pick. Stranger things have happened, but I just don't see it. I guess you never know.

If I were a betting man I would think he's back but the process has to play out a bit and Judah is definitely doing the right thing by taking an inventory as to where he is at. Wish him the best

I just can't see him playing any type of valuable minutes in the NBA next year but if he's willing to spend significant time in the G league next year then I guess who knows.

My best comp for him is Kira Lewis Jr with the Pelicans who spend 2 years at Alabama and was the 13th pick in the draft. Had a season ending knee injury his 2nd year but has had a tough time getting significant minutes.

 

[djorange1989]

Moore might not portal

And if he does we may have Carolina to contend with

 

[Sbucketball]

And if he does we may have Carolina to contend with

Yeah, that's a tough one with Caleb Love gone.

 

[HOFCeluck]

Kira Lewis Jr

She hot

Undeniable rule of life: Whenever it's necessary to start a sentence with "obviously" it's anything but obvious.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Yeah, that's a tough one with Caleb Love gone.

They have Simeon Wilcher coming in fwiw and Seth Trimble on the bench.

 

[Hopkins16]

If it seems like Moore will not portal and it is questionable that Judah will return, the more reason to go strongly after Westry. Lock in what is available then see what remains.

 

[bnoro]

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

Why? If he was recruited to play one style of basketball and doesn't fit the new style, wish him well and we'll find others to replace him.

I like his game but unless he's content with being a 10-15 minute a game shooter off the bench I'm not sure he'd want to stick around

 

[Cuse_NYC]

Undeniable rule of life: Whenever it's necessary to start a sentence with "obviously" it's anything but obvious.

Undeniable rule of life: whenever a cuse guy is borderline leaving for the nba, they never return

 

[TommyA13]

Undeniable rule of life: whenever a cuse guy is borderline leaving for the nba, they never return

And of course ultimately end up regretting not staying another year (well we’re sad lol I don’t know if they regret it)

 

[orangejunkie]

Westry would be a great pickup. It's a no brainer for SU to try to land him for next year. Especially if Judah moves on, we would still have 2 strong/athletic guards, as well as a couple freshman from last year that would provide some nice guard depth. I think I read that Westry's representatives contacted SU staff to see if there was mutual interest.

maybe with Red at the helm we can have better attrition rates.

It seems like we spent a lot of time and posts regarding Chance Westry when he was a high school recruit. Not sure if we even made his final three selection. it is interesting that his camp reached out to Syracuse. I always thought that if it was Chance‘s decision to make, he would had selected Syracuse.

Now, we hear that his camp has reached out to Syracuse. While I still have good faith in his skills even though he was injured, if he does decide to come to Syracuse and there is mutual interest, I hope that he leaves his camp whenever it is and they don’t get involve with Chance at Syracuse.

I believe Westry wanted to come to SU and his Dad wasn't too keen on us. This time, hopefully pops will let son follow his heart. Westry is a major talent who was hurt last year and didn't get a chance to bounce back and show his talents. If healthy, I believe he can provide us with major and substantive minutes.
