Class of 2024 SG Gavin Doty (NY) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (4/7/26)

When you start writing what Doty will do as though it's an SNL sketch, I know there isn't enough evidence to back it up.

Doty beat Bill Brasky in a drinking contest! Doty has an unofficial 9.47 in the 100 meter dash! Doty once saved a mother stuck under a burning Ford F150 by lifting it up with one hand, while pulling her out with the other.

Upon Chuck Norris' death, his soul rose from his body and entered into Doty's claiming "this is the only human being that is worthy of this much manliness".

Doty went 14-0 with 14 knockouts in Mike Tyson's Punch Out!

Godspeed to all. I like Doty. But good lord the expectations are outlandish for this kid.

I think it’s his mom or sister

I haven't read this whole thread so if this has already been mentioned my apologies. From the little I've seen of him I keep thinking of Marty Byrnes. Different positions but both upstate kids that were under recruited and used a high energy style to outplay more talented opponents. Winners that get the most out of their abilities.

I suspect due to where some have set expectations for him it's far more likely he doesn't meet the lofty expectations some have for him. Does he have the beef needed to outplay his position at the ACC level?

The Doty mythology is already pretty thick.

And for that reason, he shall forever be known by the nickname... Thickburger.

If this kid outplayed some people's expectations he will be a 1st round draft pick next year. Realistically if he can play well enough to be an average shooting guard that's all you can expect.
