I believe you are looking for "advanced degree." Perhaps "advanced diploma?" What else would it be about?

Creator, I wish I was that hip. I love me some BIG and wished I had a great story for my name. My old handle was Roc44s before I moved to Chicago from Rochester about 10 years ago so as you can see I got real creative after I moved

Changed my name too, although I was mostly a lurker. Good riddance to TOS.

Nothing about Miami, only 'Ville, Cincy, and VCU as far as competition. He didn't offer anything alluding to his lean, so I feel that is a positive for Syracuse more than a negative.

I'd say this is more good than bad. I love that he brought his parents so he's obviously serious about us. Would have liked a time frame... but it has to be somewhat soon so the longer we're his only visit the better.

He was just very political in his answers. I don't take much from it. He didn't say he wasn't taking other visits either. He's keeping a lot of this close to the vest.
What are the chances he says the visit went bad? The only positive we can really take from this is that he didn't SPECIFICALLY mention another visit, but he didn't deny it either

Hmm... Starting to wonder if the choice isn't really between Syracuse and International / D- League rather than a different school?

If International/D-League was a real option? Why not just declare for the draft?

He did, and then withdrew before the deadline

So with feedback that he wouldn't be drafted, withdrawal leaves his options open. He's missing summer league but that's it.
Longer this goes with no other schools mentioned the more I think this might be the decision he is making.

I know. But if he thought DLeague/International was a serious option, he would have stayed in the draft, probably gotten a Summer League spot, and be playing now. Why withdraw from the draft if your plan is to go International or try to get a DLeague spot anyway? Especially when you could be in the SL now and impress enough to get a roster spot. Just makes no sense.

Again, it's starting to feel like the pendulum is swinging. Yesterday, Waters wrote one of his "subliminal endorsements." The subtext of today's article seems to be more along the lines of, "I figured he was coming here, what's going on?"
We went from Louisville being out of the running yesterday to Miami emerging as a contender today. Jake's 48-hour window is about to close. Some of the insiders who were confident yesterday don't appear as confident today (that's not criticism). That doesn't mean we're out of the running, and we could still very well be in the lead. To be clear, White can commit whenever he wants. I just get the sense that we're losing momentum. I hope I'm wrong.

One of many, I am sure. Found the board back in the summer of '05. I was home from college and working nights stocking shelves at a Tops in the Mohawk Valley. After watching a poster get "Kaiser'd," and if I remember correctly it was sdhusky, I figured it would be best to remain on the sidelines and observe the overall etiquette of the board before I posted anything of significance. As it turns out I still have nothing of value to post. But it is better than remaining on the sidelines and watching.

I didn't get that at all. I just took it as he's not making a rushed choice. But the fact that he brought his parents along and we were his first stop in a cramped time window is all good news. Yes I wish he would have committed already, but this kid figures this choice could be the difference between being drafted in the 1st round and making millions, or not. He's going to be really careful, talk to his parents... and THEN realize his best path to the NBA is through a Syracuse final four run as one of it's leading scorers.

I dont know, the whole basis of the article appears to be a couple texts. Dont know how you read anything into it. I can see why MW did this little article given the hi interest in the SU community, but i see no evidence whatsoever that MW even asked him what schools he is still considering. i guess the tidbit about the parents and AWs quotes about SU make the article worth reading

Withdrawal leaves the grad transfer option open. If he was unsure about D league or international option withdrawal was the smart play. I'm probably wrong but sometimes the simplest option is the correct one.

Your words carry serious weight around here now, you earned that. DC traffic can be brutal. Safe travels, my Orange brother.
