What do we know about Elijah Hughes?

[kcsu]

Looks powerful like Dion

He is bigger and stronger than Battle. He is going to be very good.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Prediction:

I think Hughes continues JB's vaunted track record of success with transfers (regular, not Grad, following guys like Chukwu, Gbinije, Wes Johnson, Ryan Blackwell & even Leo Rautins), and Hughes becomes a key player for us next season (averaging maybe 10-12 ppg with a "normal" amount of mins - like 30ish).

Come on. MSOrange , how do I let this one go by?

Paul Harris was stronger and physically bigger as well (but not as tall). Not better than Tyus'.

Id take paul harris in a damn second for this team

 

[SUOrangeSU]

Anyone have a chance to watch those Niagara Falls teams when Harris played on them? They came to the War Memorial a few times but the one game against East High (who has STACKED that year with 3 d-1 players) and Niagara Falls dogged them out. Paul Harris took off from the free throw line in game...place was going NUTS

Nice dunk, but you traveled!

hey the kid is just preparing for life in the NBA

Not me. He left and we had one of our best teams ever. I don't think it is a coincidence. He was just a bad fit for this program. Not a good shooter and too small for the back of the zone.

I didnt say better.

I don’t necessarily disagree but it seems like the game is a little different now. Smaller. Now he would probably be a liability still and perhaps even more these days on offense but I bet defensively he could hang. He’s not a beanpole who would get outmuscled and would still be able to rebound well. But, yeah, not an ideal player here.

 

[realorange]

Always thought Paul would have been better at linebacker.

 

[SoBeCuse]

Always thought Paul would have been better at linebacker.

Wasn’t there some scuttlebut at one point of him possibly trying out for the NFL as a TE?

 

[cuse10]

Always thought Paul would have been better at linebacker.

He should have been a TE. He had good hands, size and speed for the position.

As far as Hughes, not a damn thing until he plays an actual game.

 

[CusefanATL]

i want to hear all the info.


Intriguing player that vould put us over the edge.

Expect 25/10/10 a night.

I would happily take Paul Harris to go man to man vs Zion against Duke, an- ... what? no man to man?
well, one can imagine it.

Harris wasn't a fit here at the time; probably wouldn't be now either. He needed to play in a M2M system
that gave him freedom to run out on breaks and gamble for steals. Not at all saying he was a failure, as
1200 pts / 800 rebs over three years is a solid, solid player at SU, borderline star, but it wasn't the right
fit for him.

Oh wait, Hughes. Be a combination of "total replacement for Battle" and "make up for Bazley". And make
next year's team a lot of fun to watch and competitive.

[edowd26]

He's like a rich mans Russell Westbrook

 

[JrodCuse]

He is who Kevin Durant models his game after.

 

[RF2044]

He's He who walks behind the rows.

The best high school game I have seen the past 15 years was when Flynn and Triche went at it at Manley prior to the renovation and Triches ACL tear. Both scored 30 plus and Niagara Falls won a close game.

Sometimes I think we took Paul Harris just so that Pitt couldn't. He would have been a real thorn in our side if he played for them. Would have killed us on the offensive boards.

I was at the War Memorial for that game. Harris was doubtful to play because he had a broken hand or broken finger can't recall. Something was broke but their team sure wasn't because they definitely took it to East.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Why do you think he's only gonna play 20 minutes a game ?

 

[Pearl309]

Eli has a serious chance to be the emotional leader on this team. Very well liked, good sense of humor, charismatic.
I’m rooting for him.

Really?? Had no clue about that and sure as hell couldn’t tell. East high that year was NASTY. Not sure where the two bigs went but they had a guard that went to east carolina. Just remember NF walking in the building looking like a NBA team

 

[SUOrangeSU]

Only other HS team that I thought was better than that Niagara Falls team was that Mcquaid team that was #2 in the nation behind Lebron’s HS. I think they ended up meeting up in that big HS national tourny. Mcquaid has Tyler Relph and a few other guys that went D1.
