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

[007]

MAAC basketball, I guess.

Sure, that's a factor. I struggle with the need to disparage the kids effort and accomplishments. There will be plenty of time for that should Doty underperform playing against ACC talent.

Yeah I just don't understand how that is not the standard for every player. Like what is going through their brain? I have never played on a school or AAU type of basketball team in my life. But in any pickup basketball game i played, If a shot went up, i immediately would try to beat my man for position boxing out. It doesn't matter weather that is on the offensive or the defensive end. Now I know there are responsibilities for player to make sure they get back on D and not allow easy transition buckets, and i'm not sure who or how that exactly gets determined. But the number of times a shot goes up and the SU player is not moving back to get on defense nor are they fighting for rebound position is astounding. They instead just watch the shot go up and stand there boxed out... is frustrating as heck!. Its just awareness and effort. I feel like SU players have been doing that far too often, over a long period of time now. Watching Doty will be a welcome change. I hope others learn from him.

And I know darn well a player who rebounds like this is likely to also give great effort on defense and will be moving on the offensive end, making cuts and setting screens. Just playing great team basketball.

that has been the problem for way too long. everyone hangs around like someone else will get the ball and pass for the open 3.

I don't expect him to be a star, all he needs to be is serviceable, score a bit pass a bit, and play good defense.

Anyone who hasn't seen Doty play is in for a treat. I don't expect his motor to be any less effective in the ACC.

There’s 1800 players in the portal and he’s ranked in the top 80 in two services. If he wasn’t a local and went anywhere but Siena people would be happy with this pickup. There’s zero difference in taking him than taking Wilkins who also played in a weak league.

Red went the route of getting former high rated hs recruits and it didn’t work out.

I'll set the bar: Be 3 times as good as Justin Taylor.
How the hell did he start. (Sorry to disparage)

Doty had 16 points 6 rebounds vs Big10 Indiana. Folefac had 19 points and 4 rebounds in that game.

I'm not sure how to measure that . . .

Stealing two inbound passes in 40 seconds isn't happening against better talent and coaching in the ACC. Coming out of nowhere to get rebounds as a guard isn't happening against better talent and coaching in the ACC. It will just have him out of position.
