Symir Torrence Transferring from Marquette to Syracuse

[UpstateSM]

Positivity people we got a hometown kid who wants to be orange.

I doubt his numbers to this point are indicative of his capabilities. Be happy

 

[MikeSU02]

So we're looking at like a 35/30/15 min split at guard next year with these three?

Right?

 

[SUFan44]

Kid couldn't play major minutes for a very poor team that just fired its coach.

What the hell are we doing?

 

[Cusesky8214]

love that he wants to be here.

Thats the thing I noticed is how excited he is. Ill take that any day! Hes physical so we could definitely use that. Im sure he's better then his Marquette #s

Why do you say this?

Your numbers are your numbers.

Brycen Goodine at Providence has been terrible. He was terrible at Syracuse.

everyone knows what we are doing.

heres a hint: “Torrence has experience playing with Joe Girard and Buddy Boeheim from their AAU days.”

 

[cliftonparksufan]

He wants to play at Syracuse. Good for him.

 

[cuseinseattle]

He can defend well but is not a good shooter. That will be the issue. He will be on the bench and when we give up 80-90 points with Joe out there and JAB is asked why Symir only played 5 minutes he will say we really need Joe's offense and shooting. He is really the perfect 3rd guard for us.

I don’t think his Marquette stats reflect his potential. But that’ll be the narrative he’ll face heading into practice. Think CNY kids do well with a chip on their shoulder though.

i think he’s better than what he showed at Marquette. Loved the kid when he was in HS. Not a stud but a very steady player all around and a very physical defender.

 

[721Comstock]

very physical guard. Not great at anything but I’ve seen him play and he can do a little of everything except shoot the 3.

He shot the 3 at a 37.5 clip as a Frosh at Marquette.

Dunno why the wheels fell off for him this last year.

There we go, beautiful

Yep.

He shot 7-26 from 3 for the City Rocks and 37% from the field. Kid is not a scorer.

 

[sabach]

Don't they all.

 

[SUFan44]

Counter point: He wants to be at Syracuse.

Fantastic. And I want to be a New York Yankee. So what.

 

[Cuseball]

Welcome home Symir. Lot of doubters, prove em wrong.

only one thing to d with the doubters...shut them

I think most people are familiar with our famous poster and recruiting maven Jordville.
Here's what he posted a few year's back about Symir (can't figure out how to directly link)

"City Rocks as a sophomore last spring, but now seeing him again this spring in Atlanta.. wow. Not only is he stronger but he has really grown as a player. Lead dog for sure. There are some legit D.Wade feels to his game. Ways to go of course to be that, but you can see it."

True. Elijah Hughes did stink at ECU and obviously stunk here

Seriously for your own happiness, go find another program to follow, because you are in for nothing but profound disappointment.

 

[MikeSU02]

Yep.

Personally, no one will be surprised, but I think this is a huge downgrade.

Rooting for the kid. Glad he wants to be here. Hope we unearth some production others haven't gotten.

Let's see what the front court ends up being.

36/33/11 would be my prediction. It really has nothing to do with Symir, but JB obviously will do whatever it takes to make Joe successful.

Nope.

I'm here.

Been a fan my whole life, did six years at Cuse for undergrad and grad, have had season tickets.

I'm good.

Thanks for the life advice though internet message board guy.

 

[Jeremy L.]

He probably understands his role and has accepted it. Kadary wasn't happy with his. When you get kids to buy in, things can happen. Let's go Symir.

Yes, no offense to Torrence, but we are going to get him and Jimmy and I will be surprised if we get anyone elite in the portal.
