we have sanogo, akok, samson, clingan and springs at the 4/5 we dont need a sixth big man. a big wing that can shoot is a much better fit since we'll only have aj (who cant shoot) and hawk (who isnt really big).
Name recognition doesn’t follow bad players.
He'd be the first or second best out of that lot. We can disagree.
There's no use even debating it, he's not coming here
Agreed, unfortunately
Agreed wholeheartedly, was supposed to be a knockdown shooter but from what I’ve seen he is a good jump shooter but not elite especially by the League’s standards
I saw the same thing, every duke game I tuned into I just didn’t see “elite” shooter, or player for that matter, the kid can play a lil though
That means nothing just a lil preseason hype for a former top 10 player in his class, i feel like the other dudes but maybe we ain’t see enough
Projections I seen had him in that mid 2nd range
Karaban. Akok is AA.
My point was really a question as to how many ended the year as POY?
I certainly agree on Karaban and the 4/5 depth, but question if a player who is very talented and is someone you say wants to be "the guy" would shy away from UConn because of excess talent on the roster compared to Duke's typical roster.
Good points, especially because this is not a typical UConn roster loaded with experienced high quality guards and small forwards.
Flip is clearly a talented player. He seems to be as excited about his Duke recruitment --in his public statements-- as AK appears to be about UConn.If some of our existing Bigs have breakout years this year (ie Sanogo/AA) would they be moving on to the next level?? We don't know right now but it would open up PT for Flip's freshman year if in Storrs.
No, some of us are just more realistic than others.
Or is it that some of us just think they know more than others or their opinion is right? Whatever...
All I did was present facts about pre season players of the year I didn’t even give an opinion lol
I talked about pre-season Big East POY too, what are you even talking about????????
Carey was clearly the one they wanted all along. They just faked targeting Flip and Clingan in a now obvious way to keep Carey under the radar (anyone who doesn’t see this is a moron). Only downside is they’ll have to recruit another big the next year since he’ll definitely be a one and done. After all, he’ll likely be a combination of Melo and Fab Melo.Syracuse Basketball: Orange bolsters shot at landing elite 2022 big man

cuse knows they’re out too but where do they get these writers? Of course the unranked big man theyve pivoted to will end up in the top 100 lol

I just need to be more realistic in my views of things.
