From On3. Tahaad Pettiford, 6’0” point guard out of Jersey City, 2024, plays for the Rens. Has had a big spring. Now the fourth 2024 point guard we’ve been mentioned with, in addition to Cadeau, Robert Wright, and Juni Mobley. Elmarko is also a point. Not sure what this says about the staff’s thoughts about Copeland.

Don’t think it says anything. You can play positionless basketball now and we also didn’t have a single person who could dribble a basketball against the slightest of pressure. So why not more than 1 for the future

Syracuse can’t/doesn’t play position-less. Very few teams do. You can play with interchangeable pieces, and I think that may be the case here. That class needs a point guard in all likelihood, even if they land Elmarko. I’m not necessarily a fan of some of these targets, but they’ll need someone.

You don’t have to convince me to cheer for him. I’ll be thrilled to be wrong. But it seems like he’s more interested in pursuing his own path….and I’m just not convinced he 1. Fits what SU traditionally needs from their guards, or that 2. SU is a good fit for him, or 3. That in any case he moves the needle to get them back into the top 25 on a regular basis. He’s a strong guard, but not a big or lengthy one. He’s not a great athlete, but he’s an adequate one. He’s kind of a combo guard, but really a small 2. He is a good shooter….but can he get it with what SU runs? I am cheering for him, and half my point is simply if he’s a fit. My opinion is that he is not. But I’m 1000% hoping to one day say “damn I wish they’d made it fit”. But huge congrats to him as more offers start to come in.

They had 3 guys drafted in the first and one in the second, I think that's a great choice for a unicorn like him.
Turning down UNC and Kentucky to go play for Jason Hart.

Wonder who gave the offer and what the messaging was around staff / HC.

I believe that's Griffin's territory. Told him the truth, that Red will be the coach when he comes

Maybe they pretend to lose signal when either that question or the NIL comes up?

Mike, are you able to confirm this offer? This would be our first 2025 basketball offer, isn’t it?

Easter is big time, so hopefully we are trying to get involved. I’m still baffled that I don’t think they’ve tried to make contact with the Flagg brothers.

Nwoko blew up.Some new 2023 international (now in the US) names to keep an eye on.
Marouf Moumine, 6-5, PG, originally from Senegal, played at NBA Academy and just recently came over to the US. He will blow up if he plays well in EYBL.

Michael Nwoko, 6-10, 240, from Canada, now playing in North Carolina. Might have already missed the boat, he's blowing up with offers, he's a beast.
