Any idea if he is leaving? I won’t shed a tear if he moves on. As he plays a lot and is basically Red’s Buddy.

Where’s he gonna go?
Not sure how a player posting a picture of himself is an indication of anything? But I’m no longer up on how these kids operate.
I still miss the IG where people would post pictures of cool stuff they came across, with a filter to make it look cooler.

He wrote “it was fun” with an orange emoji, I’d say that’s a pretty big indication.

And he’s….not a pro.

Ok….looking at it, it’s on his story and somebody else posted the photo first. JJ is basically “sharing” what someone else posted, and then added the “it was fun”. That’s a different tone IMO.
His bio says Syracuse PG/SG.
I don’t think this means anything, IMO.

I mean, if that’s what he’s gonna do then good luck to him.. in which case, I hope he brushes up on his Greek, or see him back on campus in a couple months.

Wasn’t disappointed by the thought of him leaving though.

Wasn’t disappointed by the thought of him leaving though. I was but mainly because I have zero confidence in us landing a big fish out of the portal. The "keeping it quiet" narrative about how we work in the portal is bull shit and I'll believe otherwise when we a transfer picks us over other big names. Outside of JJ, who is close friends with Red and his family, we got the worst center I've ever seen play basketball and a kid who I have zero reason to believe will ever be healthy enough for us to count on out of the portal last year. Maybe it's as simple as not having the NIL $$$ but I have been disappointed with our transfer work for 12 months.

Yeah, there’s a lot of guys in the portal - which means everybody is after them. JJ, Brown, Bell, Freeman, Moore would give us a decent nucleus. And maybe Westry. Cuffe a decent guy off the bench. Gives us space to land 1-2 good players - which I think is realistic. I don’t think it’s realistic to get into “let’s land 3-4 studs in the portal” territory.

I’m not thinking like the Yankees, you don’t need a star at every position, but getting a steady point guard isn’t impossible, and there are so many good and decent big dudes around it’s weird that we have this issue. We don’t need stars. We have Maliq, we have Freeman coming in. Personally I’d rather have Judah back than Starling and throw Judah at the two and get a point. JJ seems like a super cool kid, but he is just awful at so many things, I truly hope he gets better and I’m rooting for him but his game is ugly.

Judah would be better at the 2 than the point but I can’t deal with his lack of 3 point shooting. He’s so bad from out there, that it basically requires all your other guys except your center have to be 3 point shooters. JJ started off brutal, but he at least shot the 3 well in ACC play. Makes me think he can be upper 30’s on good volume from out there at least.

My problem is with JJ, you can say anything about him and it can be awesome, his defense negates everything positive he does. I’m probably being a little unfair but, it irks me bad.
