Hard to say anything until we get into visit-land. Don't worry about what other people say, watch what the kid does.

Is it possible that we do better even if this does swing the Orange way?

what could have happened since jackson revealed his top5 last week to warrant these recent Syracuse predictions? he hasn't even scheduled his OVs yet

but strictly from a rankings standpoint cam is better and niels is in the same tier as jackson.

idk who else we are still actively recruiting among guards/wings... demarr langford?? he's inside the top100; i'd be happy with him and cardwell but that's just me tempering my expectations

Holy crap the cuse board is unbelievable on this. For a group of fans who call us a mid-major and say they don't care about us anymore, they are thrashing with anger that we are in the mix here.

This is beginning to remind me of Kofi. Everyone in the world save our insiders predicted they would go elsewhere.

Oh, I thought you were comparing Illinois and Syracuse. I see those similarities as well.

Potential result aside, I’m just curious what changed so fast here. Go from in great shape to making his top 5 to all these crystal ball picks. Hurley was on this kid like a hawk. Welp recruiting is fluid and who knows what goes on behind the scenes

The initial Cuse narrative was we were being mentioned with recruits bc Hurley was leaking false info. After signing a handful of these kids, the narrative switches to the kids are pressured to commit because of the false info Hurley is leaking. Think about the logic for a second Cuse fans! A kid is not going to commit to a school he doesn't like because he read online they are the favorite! Honestly, it's probably only a couple of kids continuing this narrative on their board but it's hard to believe anyone is that wet brained.

And for all their Carey chatter, our insiders said we were out a month before he announced.

They should wait until Carey is a star leading them deep into the tournament before dumping on UConn's "inability" to sign him.

I care about shooting more than just about any other trait, so I haven’t been too high on Jackson (but I think defensively he has the potential to be great). If we were to land Richmond or Lane instead, I would be fine with that.

My issue would be that the staff spent more time recruiting Jackson than any other player in the class. Flushing that time down the toilet to miss on a player whose stock dropped all spring would be a bad look for Hurley. No two ways about that.

I feel the exact same way.

Classic. The boneyard looked like idiots with Carey, then Cuse board looked like idiots with Akok, and now it’s the boneyard’s turn again. Maybe it’s time to stop acting like we know exactly what’s going to happen just because people air the rumor mill out.

Cam Thomas has to be the first choice. Maybe if we're in a good spot with Cam, Andre doesn't want to come here as well. Maybe that's the logic? I'm good with either of them, with a preference toward Cam.

Different positions and very different players. Don’t think they have any impact on each other.
