It is an ABSOLUTE MUST to get Cam on campus. Really hoping nothing blows up in the next eight days. Because I have this feeling that once he's here Hurley and staff will ensure he stays. Just my gut.

Cam would be a def put us on a whole notha level. One can't appreciate enough how much he would help elevate the offense of the entire team just by osmosis.

Immediately after winning a national championship.

Maybe conference doesn't matter when coming off a chip, but it certainly matters when you're slumping the way we have been. A declining program in a bad conference does not do any favors for recruiting.

Do you think Memphis class had something to do with the following?

James Wiseman - HOMETOWN- MEMPHIS, TN
Malcolm Dandridge- HOMETOWN- EAST MEMPHIS, TN
Damion Baugh= HOMETOWN- MEMPHIS, TN

And that's not even taking into account the money the rest got.

Do we have 3 or 4 openings for 20-21 considering Alterique is leaving after this year?
 
Had to copy one more moronic post on the Syracuse blog from some dolt named cuseinseattle :

Our 2019 class is pretty solid.

Andre would have been great, but whatever. Would likely have complimented the shooters, but you never know. We've seen guys drive the lane and get eaten up. Feel bad for any kid that winds up at uconn though. Should have gone to Iowa or UCLA if not Syracuse.

I agree regarding Yukon. I just found out that 1 of the two people in the daycare room we send our son to is a Yukon grad. In Seattle! She brought it up when I asked where she was from. She laughed and said I told your wife like 3 months ago that I went to Yukon since your son is always wearing Syracuse clothes. She said, don't tell my husband you went there. She then says can you believe that and laughs. Now I'm not sure what to do. I don't want to over react but I also don't want my son being taught how to steal labtops.

1. They think nothing of a Cuse grad living in Seattle, but a UConn grad!? That’s so far from Storrs!! How did she ever get there??

2. Wt- is he saying?

3. Wt- is the point of what he is saying?

4. Wt- is a labtop?

Enoch. Wrong year.
Expand ...
I forgot Enoch ( I blocked his career) out of my memory) I did remember him after I posted .
he was from Norwalk and barely in the top 100
But I don’t recall that class with Adams being top 20 although it was probably the first fruit of the NC because it included the best guard we had recruited in 4-5 years.
That Gilbert Class was suppose to be the killer class.
Ironically the Next year’s throw away class of
Carlton , Polley , and Whaley may have a bigger impact than that class.

What, sacrifice a goat?
Drastic, no?:confused:

Boneyard tradition. Deepster is given several choices of posters who are “sacrificed” for mojos sake. One poster is selected and a punishment is decreed by Deepster. Much more effective than goat sacrifice.

2 without AG leaving. 3 if AG leaves. If we get 4 commits I think we will find a way to open up 4 scholarships

I also have never posted before (just religiously read this board every 2 hours) so figured I’d jump in on the fun. Currently a sophomore here at UConn, have been a die hard fan my whole life (Parents always had season tickets to Bball and Fb). One of the biggest deciding factors in me choosing UConn was the basketball program and how much it ment to me. I know we have one more season ahead...but i’ve been dreaming of walking into a Gample Big East matchup as a student, and with the team Hurley is throwing together who knows what we can do in the next 3 years! More importantly I can now trash talk my best friend whos at Xavier...!

100%, we are already planning on showing up to that 3PM florida game at 8am...There is buzz on campus promise you that! Honestly I hope we can get to the point where I have to campout to see a Nova-UConn game. That would be an awesome experience lol

I hope you get a blizzard game some winter. During my time in the early 00s, there was I think a Pitt game at Gampel where a storm rolled in after Pitt got to town, but I think a state of emergency was called so no one was driving for this game. They just said anyone can go, so it became this weird cool thing in the dark of winter
 
Jackson is someone who needs to improve his outside jumper, he only made five three-point jumpers in 19 EYBL games during the spring and summer, but he does virtually everything else at an extremely high-level.

Look for Connecticut to use Jackson in a variety of different ways on both ends of the court. He will likely be someone who switches screens one through four on defense, and then on offense he has the ability to play with the ball in his hands at times, to go along with making plays on the glass with his athleticism and offensive rebounding, and his ability to score going to the rim.

Yes. That’s the game we had a 20ish point lead at half and managed to lose. F- - - Carl Krauser.
 
Does the Cuse board not have an Andre Jackson thread? Wanted to see if they did and there didn't seem to be one.
 
He is a clone of Mathisse Thybulle from Washington. If he can be half the defender Thybulle was, then we got ourselves a force!

They certainly do. Quality reading. It’s on their “basketball recruiting forum,” not their “Syracuse basketball board.”

2,000+ replies, but sadly they’ve locked the thread.
