Woody Newton transferring to Oklahoma St

[SWC75]

Nope!!!!

Seriously, Williams and Newton might have made quite a forward duo.

Maybe he comes back

He’s gonna have 3 guys ahead of him just like he did last year - although you could argue the 3 this year are better than the 3 last year

If Quincy comes back, correct. If he wants playing time, it probably isn't going to happen next season.

If Quincy doesn't come back, and maybe the interest he was hoping for from the schools he was hoping for is not there, I could see him consider coming back. He would be part of the rotation and get a lot of playing time as the probable top backup at both forward positions.

It seemed like the relationship between JB and Woody was not great and might not be repairable. But it is not unheard of for JB and a player to have reached what looked like the breaking point and found a way to repair the relationship.

The same applies to Bobby. There is ample playing time to be had for 3 forwards. It would be great if the 3rd forward was Bobby, Woody or Quincy. Experience in our system is important.

I think if Jimmy comes, there is no way Woody thinks he will play over him

I would believe that.

I’ve always thought JB does a pretty good job adjusting his coaching to the personalities and temperaments of the players. Not right away, though. Seems to take a year or so for him to get to know what buttons to push. In Buddy’s case, he already knows him. Has mentioned his lack of confidence. It could be what you see as favoritism is simply how JB feels he needs to be handled. We certainly have had players in the past who have been treated that way. Other kids, well, require other methods. You may be right. I just don’t see it that way.

Same way a parent raises kids with different personalities. Basic stuff.

Better spot than his roommate, if you ask me.

(I know, you didn’t.)

Good for Woody. Their playing style will fit him well and hope he does well there.

 

[NKR1978]

I feel better about next year than I did, but still can't get over the feeling that we lost two guys with obscene amounts of potential.

Yeah two guys who weren't even heralded recruits but instead really good finds to boot.

 

[PauliePeppas]

Will do very well there...sad to see em go

 

[hoopsupstate]

I hope he does well. I think he could have had a great future at SU. He’s perfect for our system.

We did. But so did most teams.

Woody and KR will be Syracuse footnotes and can always say they played here, but never in front of 30k+ like all of the players from the last 30 years

Losing three very athletic and talented players is not good. This may be the most unathletic Cuse team we have seen in a very long time.

I guess being able to shoot the ball is unathletic.

 

[Newhouser]

What is their NCAA penalty going to be? Aren't they the school who used the appeal to get in this year's tourney?

 

[orangenauburn]

Kid will do great there

 

[MikeSU02]

Good luck at Okie St, Woody.

Wish we had you, still.

My low points of Syracuse fandom:

1a. Losing to Liberty in football
1b. Woody Newton transferring to Oklahoma State
2-100. Doesn't matter

I mean... no? I guess I don't get it.

Shooting does not make them unathletic (it's all relative of course). Being below average athletically makes someone below average athletically. We have shooters that are not overly athletic. We've historically had plenty of athletes that cannot shoot. And many combinations in between.

New fan as of 2018?

Best of luck to you, Woody. Thanks for the Iggy.
