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

[Cusefan0307]

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

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

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

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

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

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.

That's part of it. Then, as his dad and representatives began to make increasingly larger demands and requests for financial compensation, many of the schools that were initially recruited to pocket veto and cast their nets elsewhere. So we didn't come close to making his final three, but that was by our choice. That's how he ended up at a place like LSU, after they had just canned their cheating coach. They offered the biggest bag.

Hopefully, his camp has learned from their mistakes the first time around, and want to place him in a situation that will maximize his long-term potential as an NBA prospect over short-term financial potential.

Spot on, just that it was Auburn but I think LSU was a finalist

It's going to be friggin' wild if we end up with Mintz, Starling, and Westry on the roster at the same time.

Imagine if we already have a backdoor deal done.

Four guard lineup with Dior? Nerlens Noel as big man coach?

On the court at the same time even.
Actually, I have no idea how a three guard lineup would work with these guys, but I am here for it.

Tell him to say hi to Donte, CMC, Lydon, Malachi, Ennis.

Let's get Kamari Lands to commit. He can play center.

Jordan Tucker, equipment manager and I'm spent.

Does Quade green have eligibility? If not he can be the water boy!

We don't know what Reds style is yet. We don't know what his(Taylor) minutes will be yet. I hope he comes in and competes and we all find out. Sounds like Rackman likes Taylors game and I am willing to wait and see.

Don't forget about Darius Bazley

He and Quade were in my back pocket in case you guys were busting out the bazookas.
