Class of 2016 SG/SF Andrew White (VA; Grad Transfer from Nebraska)

[Zelda Zonk]

Lol, show me a lineup next year you DONT like. This could get amusing!

Yeah. It does bother me (a little) that the kids who committed to us from the beginning might be 'stepped over' by one year 'mercenaries,' but in the interest of the team, ya gotta do what ya gotta do. That's also said having never seen Gillon or White in our uniform, against our competition yet.

Also, said with the expectation/impression that Battle was going to be good enough to be an automatic starting PG for us, but if his perimeter game isn't as sweet as the clips make it seem, or he's not really a true PG, then heck fire, i have no idea how it's going to shake out. Super sweet, though, to have so much versatility and talent throughout the roster. We are going to need a bomber, though. Mr. White? Please "sine your pitty on the runny kine."

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

I think Dc will be a lot better than people think, but when the game is on the line, I think Jb goes with the 7'2 shot blocker.

I go with the 5th year, FF center.

 

[Briancuse]

I go with the 5th year, FF center.

On the offensive end perhaps, but Pc on the defensive end.

Great post but probably needed some sweet talking from one of the coaches to lure Battle from Mich. i have to think he will be given every opportunity next year

 

[Toga]

wholl be the finishers in close game though! Not DC

Only kid that could have beef is Howard about being stepped over. TT and Moyer might get pushed to the back burner this year, but next year, as sophs, they'll get plenty of PT. DC can't play 40mpg anyway, so adding PC was necessary. Roberson will get as much as PT as he wants - if he is a beast on the boards and is solid offensively, there is no chance JB takes him out besides to get a quick rest. Lydon will get plenty of PT, so will Battle.

Howard probably got screwed by White + Gillon, but I don't think anyone else has been "stepped" over

AW3 @ small forward does not make us a difference maker on the national scene, he has to play/be effective @ guard...
Pg- Battle
Sg- AW3
Sf- Lydon
Pf- DC2
C- Pikachu
Is our money lineup...

DC2 and PC playing together is our money lineup?

there is not a chance in the world that DC plays the 4. None. Gillon, Battle, White, Lydon and the rotation of DC and PC. Robey plays a ton.

DC/Chukwu will not be on the floor together unless there is some kind of dire foul/injury situation

All these guys got "sweet talked" at one point. Someone might get their feelings hurt.

I just addressed that folly.

Was with ya until you put DC2 at PF. Zero chance of that. We have so many better options at forwards it's amazing.

DC will not play one second at Forward, ever.

 

[OrangeDW]

I would bet that those two play together for a combined 0 seconds on the season.

Do you think FH is scared by the competition? Not me! But i do otherwise agree w your post

Not enough ball-handling, and DC and Chukwu are either/or

You really think DC is quick enough to cover the wings?

:rolling:

I don't think he is, but I think he is looking at a lot less pt than originally expected.

 

[JarHeadJim]

At this point, I would think it would be between JarHeadJim, Orangeman13 and OGBJ20.
The old school and the new school: together at last!

I think Francis has us all beat!

 

[Day2]

Syracuse coaches are "actively preparing for White's arrival."

That's what my "source" who happens to be my fiancé texted me at 12:02 PM EST.

Well done.

 

[orangenirvana]

Why? Think of the difference in the mid between last November and April.
Now, with a full off season to work on his game, and not rehab, I think DC will be great this year.
Add in being his last off season, being done with undergrad and his work to graduate in 4 years, and I think folks are sleeping on DC.

I was just as underwhelmed by Coleman's game in April as I was in November.

Wow i saw 200,000. What a nice round number!

I just feel DC2 can be our best(only?)back to the basket scorer, and with those other 3 on the 3point line...Wowza...
