Class of 2022 SG Roddy Gayle (NY / Wasatch)

[OttoinGrotto]

So... the thing to root for now is that Kadary is so good he's a clear early entry with enough time for Gayle to come home to Syracuse?

I’m still holding out hope. I know my plug, he’s best friends with a staff member, but every single interview and bit of news was always pro-cuse, we were the leader etc. Plus playing at the hometown team is big in upstate. We’ll see though

and now I'm being screenshot on that trash boneyard.

I think it’s pretty fair to question GMACs recruiting ability at this point. I’ve been a defender of his but when you start losing kids like this...

GMACs gotta start making noise on the trail here soon. I don’t want to hear he got Dior, if Dior is coming to college and that’s a HUGE IF, he was never going to anywhere other than Syracuse no matter who was recruiting him. Pretty disappointed in this one because it’s our backyard, we were the leader for almost all of this recruitment and this kid is a TALENT. He’ll be playing at the next level and we’ll be saying what could have been unfortunately

Questioning GMAC's recruiting is fair.

But not in this thread. Take it to the main board. Thanks.

Screw o$u i love saying that. Not the worst thing we have Dior and other targets.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

If they could have proven a lot worse stuff, they would have. Period. We all hear things. you know for a fact. did you witness this cheating?

No. I worked in a law firm that represented one of the starters on that team. (The guy I worked for got a lot of SU player stuff: Rob Burnett, Tommy Kane, the aforementioned basketball player.) The players and coaches did a good job in keeping to just the allegations.

in the moment, in the next 2 classes, we don't have anything

Benny?

 

[moqui]

Benny?

almost certainly but not yet

 

[Bulldog04]

this would be a tough loss if this osu stuff is true. When I was told a commitment was coming, I didn’t think there were any other contenders. This process has been all orange since the start for him. I’ll find out more ASAP

It over Mr Trump and Syracuse fans, we lost.

 

[jdubs30]

almost certainly but not yet

Isn’t he signing this week?

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Isn’t he signing this week?

Tomorrow is Benny's signing day.

Saving what I have to say pending on the real outcome

I mean, the outcome is pretty clear. There isn't a single thing that points to Cuse. I'd say you're safe to share.

Never over until its over, and to no ones surprise what I have to say is just opinion and not inside info.

I have a feeling it has to do with someone whose name rhymes with Hairy Backnamara.

Nope, would have started another thread for that if that was my gripe

thanks bully

I had always felt if Roddy were to come he get his turn in 23. Dior/JG3/Kadary is a lot of overcome as a freshman for PT.

He’ll have to overcome the same kind of competition at a program like Ohio State. It’s hugely disappointing if it’s OSU. We always used to wrap up early commits. Hoo was the master of this. Rob Murphy and Weaver were pretty good too.

It doesn’t help though that JB has a history of not playing freshman as much as they would on other teams

Recruiting is a two-way street -- the player has to be comfortable both with the program and their prospects to see the floor.

If our coaches didn't make Gayle feel like there was a path to PT, then shame on us. That's not the right approach.
