Taurean Thompson

[iommi]

Per the article:
"He had visited Syracuse previously, but took this trip with his mother, Sherese Piper."
To me, "this trip" means this past weekend. Maybe we need Mike W to clarify

I'm an idiot. You are right. RIF. Reading Is Fundamental.

I'm not worried about it at all. If he comes here, great. If not, oh well.

It's not a huge deal, but it would provide a little more depth and start building some experience on the roster for 2017-18 when it appears only 3 players will be returning.

Not exactly a recipe for success in JB's probable
last year.

It's not like SU to bring in huge classes. Five would be a big class, which would leave the roster at 8 again that year.

If people knew the type of restrictions that she has on her kid then it'll basically be lol status if he somehow ended up at Michigan St. I'll just leave it at that and will now retire from this subject until a decision is made.:eat popcorn:

So this is Thomas Bryant part two basically?

I'll echo Francis on this. I'm hearing that were in good shape here. Moms concerns have been answered.

Only in reverse.

So just due diligence, or possibly all talk with regard to the additional visits?

 

[Jake]

Just due diligence.

 

[IthacaMatt]

Just due diligence.

All right, so if we close on Thompson, that at least gets us to 10 scholarship players, if Malachi is back, and you can have quality scrimmages:

Team 1: V Team 2:
C: Coleman V Chukwu
PF: Roberson V Thompson
SF: Lydon V Moyer
PG: Gillon V Howard
SG: Richardson V Battle

This is what I'm hoping for when it's all over with. I would feel the best I have about an upcoming season in a few years.

Taurean's Mom has got it goin' on.

That's great but why didn't he commit? Just likes attention and visits? This whole recruitment has been annoying.

 

[rrlbees]

Thanks. I am so ready for this be over, reminds me too much of Julius Hodge

Hope so. That means if we don't get him we're going to plan B who then becomes a stud.

 

[iommi]

I prefer this version...which should provide us with an appropriate level of JLH karma that will undoubtedly lead to a TT commitment.

That scene is great, mostly due to the direction...very high camera angles as JLH vented added to the...drama.

Very strong possibility in this case.

Wow -- who does JB sit there? He's not a 10 rotation guy -- Moyer and TT? Howard? Robey?

Malachi coming back would or could be fantastic for the Orange but I hold little hope for this happening.

 

[pearl31]

hey now

 

[CaliCuse]

My guess would be the newest playfulness he proves to be unbenchable with his play. If the fan base sees this they will demand that he play and winning with lots of seats filled is the whole point.

 

[syrcuse]

Check Zags Blog...positive but nothing earth shattering.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

He can go 9 deep.

That's what she said.

Cali, like Bruce says, "Show a little faith, there's magic in the night. You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright..."

hey now

Plan B has nothing to do with The Gary Shandling Show, pearl.

Battle is the PG of Mali is back.

Coleman can be the "backup 5 but I prefer a player that sticks around for more thane year. Boeheim doesn't have a big man coach and THAT might be the reason he has trouble bringing in new players in the post position.

He has a big man coach. You might not think he is good enough, but he has one. He's had one for his entire tenure as coach.
