That guy would make a 5 star message board poster.

Combo guard Quadir Copeland looks to be committing to Syracuse today.

Essentially eliminating them from the JJ sweepstakes.

“In recent months, there have been quite a few comments in Syracuse basketball chat rooms that speak to Starling having interest in North Carolina.”

I get it’s fansided, but referencing chat rooms now?

“On the UConn basketball forum though, there have been lots of emojis being used. Implications unclear.”

they're probably getting Westry too. I don't know how many scholarships they have but that would already put them at 4 players in the class.

Gotta tip my cap to Boeheim that would be a really good class especially after losing Dior

Well Boeheim didn’t want Dior Johnson either. Who would want a top-10 player anyways?

On a serious note, they have been recruiting well lately and seem to be putting together a solid class

Agreed on the surprisingly strong Syracuse class. Boehiem is getting the 6'5"-6'8" players that make his zone such a nuisance. The question is will he retire after coaching his two kids next year. I am guessing he sticks around to try to ride the wave of this recruiting class along with Benny Williams from the 2021 class.

Positionally, Lands, Copeland, Taylor & Westry seem redundant no?

Not really. Westry is a 1, Copeland a combo guard, Taylor a swing, and Lands is probably a 3/4 in college.

 

[BGesus4]

The question is will it be waaay too competitive for minutes already that none of them can see the court

Sounds like a law firm.

You sure have to give Boeheim credit for his formula. Long guys who defend well in the zone and do well in the tournament against teams unaccustomed to playing a zone.

But, I always wonder if these kids and their handlers do any research about how previous recruits have fared in their college careers, how they've developed or failed to develop in college and their level of success professionally.

Of course, they can always look forward to splitting $1 million 12 ways and get on ESPN for a few games in the summer.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Considering how often the 2-3 is used now in the NBA, you could argue he was ahead of his time.

Hearing JJ is a real long shot. Not out

Ugh bummer

Agreed, is there a 23 reclass shooter is hurley targeting to fill the slot? Or as many have predicted this could be a slot for hurley to dip into the transfer pool?

 

[bendm]

think we're done until the spring then a reclass or transfer

 

[SoFla Steve]

Quadir Copeland to Syracuse. You would think that eliminates them from the Starling sweepstakes.

No way...Hurley on a roll..

They said we were out on Sanogo and Sang himself said at the wire Hurley made him change his mind from Seton Hall to the Good guys! It aint over til the fat lady sings.

 

[Matrim55]

Tough go of it with this kid.

The dream was fun while it lasted but I never got a great feeling about his interest in us. I'm just surprised we haven't been linked with other CG's after losing out on Epps, Anglin, and probably Starling. It's obviously a position we're looking to fill.

Going into September what are your thoughts?

I can say it if you want......

Yup, I should have known better.
