SG/SF that has a similar game to Malachi Richardson. From White Plains and is known for his jump shot. He has produced a bunch of high scoring efforts so far early in his HS career. GMac checked him out multiple times last week during the live period.

[PauliePeppas]

Of course creepy crean is stalking this kid already

[tee1222]

Again, a love button is looking like a pretty attractive enhancement right now. Serious, man. Everything about his mannerisms, expressions, all over the place banter, etc just crack me up.

Looks like Recruiting is really picking up for is since JB and Hop came back.

 

[HeaterCuse22]

God its nice to be a blueblood. The pitch to at least be in the convo has to be easy smooth.

 

[Flacusian]

JB and Hop are just killin' it. It truly is awesome. It does make one wonder if JB will ever get to the point where he is willing to step aside and let Hop take the reins. With his recruiting acumen at it's seeming apex wouldn't the temptation be to want to keep coming back to coach these remarkable kids they are lining up to wear Orange in the coming years?

It also seems reasonable to assume that the top kids would inquire as to whether JB will still be coaching the team upon their arrival and throughout their stay at Cuse. Would it not be safe to assume that the continued pipeline of top level talent is indicative of JB's intention to hang around for quite a few more? And there is that pursuit of that 2nd Chip. I recall some people being of the school of thought that he would stay on through the next Olympics and then perhaps step aside. I think that it's great that he is still going strong but I think that Hop will be very successful when he does finally take the helm.

Don't forget about Red and GMac. We roll four deep now! GMac got the Moyer deal done.

Duly Noted! Indeed, we roll 4 deep!~

Truth, man. Huge, huge get for GMac! If I was a recruit and knew anything about SU basketball, imagine getting a visit from a Cuse legend like GMac? Fohgettaboutit.

 

[AWMKY]

Not much available for Tucker yet...

@OttoWorld365
G/ Jordan Tucker becomes the first 2017 prospect to be offered by SU.

Syracuse basketball coaches make an offer to 2017 wing Jordan Tucker (PS: Ditota)

I qualify this by acknowledging that I've never seen this kid play or watched footage of him play, but he just sounds like a Syracuse forward--perfect size, versatility, athleticism, etc.

 

[tee1222]

From that msg varsity link in OP, great looking shot, a few of them after the one minute mark. Yeah, great call Francis. Definitely has a release, smooth delivery similar to Mali's shot. Sa. Weet.

 

[jordoo]

Agreed Francis and Tee. 6-7 as a soph plays like a 2g will be 6-8 or better and seems like an SU forward. Plug in to replace Moyer or Giles. We be Rollin now that we are Rollin in forwards.

 

[We Are Syracuse]

College teammate of mine played HS with him. Go to school in the area... He is transferring to Stepinac. Seems like he has a TON of potential.
