Another interview with Symir...mods can move over to the locked thread if they want.

I can’t understand a word the interviewer says. Well, maybe a word.

Check the football recruiting board. SU has offered his younger brother Syair who is a freshman WR/DB. Hearing from other schools too such as Baylor.

 

[Trueblue25]

How can you not root for a kid like Symir?

That interviewer would have a lot of trouble as a waiter reciting the “specials of the day” to anyone dining. He’d be fired the first night. Lousy...just lousy.

Anyone willing to give a synopsis of the interview?

The one with the best reporter from Syracuse, not the unintelligible mumbler guy.

Nothing earth shattering- his decision was about relationships and then Mike gets him talking about a bunch of other related things, family etc. Symir at this point is tired as you can tell explaining his reasons for leaving Marquette and Mike does his job but doesn't press on it. Symir refers to himself as floor general a lot. I found it kind of odd no mention of Jimmy but didn't look at the date of the video.

Symir seems to have no trouble...and that's kind of scary.
He kept this going for 46 minutes...it's really pretty funny.
Could be the basis for an SNL sketch.

his shot in that video already looks much better than the video a few weeks ago. Smoother, more arc, nice rotation.

Much better footwork too. It's pretty clear that Devo does a great job working with these kids.

It isn’t the worst thing in the world, but that elbow.

 

[gmacfor3]

It isn’t the worst thing in the world, but that elbow.

I thought the same thing. Lot of cross body action with his shooting elbow being that far out. Might be a reason for his inconsistent shooting numbers. But there has been guys with worse form who are great shooters so ‍who knows. At least Sy has a smooth release.

Yup, it is uncanny how each kid he is working with immediately looks ‘Devoish’ with the way they creat spacing and footwork to get shots in the lane.

For a guy who was ELITE at creating spacing for his shot from distance, mid range and in the lane WITHOUT elite athleticism it really takes it to another level when he is able to translate that to other players.

So happy he is still working with our guys and hope he ends up on staff if one of our assistants gets hired away since JB is never retiring

The footwork and release can at least help him be more respectable. What video I did find and that first one a little while ago his footwork was not good. Even the release was sloppy.

Everything looks much crisper here even if it's still not the greatest shooting form.

There are dozens of players with odd shooting styles that were/are solid.

After first-game jitters, SU's Symir Torrence got aggressive: ‘I felt way more comfortable’

Symir Torrence showed more aggressiveness with the ball in SU's exhibition win over Le Moyne.

Good stuff here and love how Symir is addressing where he needs to develop. He has the speed and strength to attack those lanes more and just has to keep getting more comfortable.

 

[CousCuse]

He reminds me of Ben Gordon.

The #3 pick in the draft who played 11 seasons in the nba and was a career 40% 3 point shooter? No.

Lol.

I'm not saying he is as good as Gordon, not many are, his strength and physicality and fierceness remind me of him. And his defense.

 

[CousCuse]

Lol.

I'm giving him some high praise, people respond to that.

In that sense, he reminds me of those Baylor and West Virginia guards that are physical and defense oriented.
