Do not know about this. He might look at us and say I can be a big deal, or he can say (to quote Dean) TLS is not for me. Like I have said many times on here, you can not teach size. I can only wish as I open another beer what would have went down if IS was in our front court all season.

Tape could at least wall a guy up, not get dislodged so easily, and not bring his arms down. Basic shit.

I wish I was 6-9 250 and bullet bulletproof.The lack of size has killed us, even in the days we have one. To compete with LV and those types teams you need a interior machine, or you 3 point guys show up.

Like you all have hinted, this could go one of two ways. Either Tape watched and realized that he’s better than all of our bigs and would likely start, OR he walked away saying I don’t want to be a big man at Syracuse because I don’t know if it’s the best system to showcase my talents.
It really depends on if this guy actually thinks he can play pro ball. If he just wants a good education, and a great place to play on a team that he’d likely start on, he’ll commit. If he really wants to play pro ball he likely will want to play for a team that showcases the big man more than Syracuse.
IMO if he’s going to play for Syracuse we’ll know pretty quickly.

Or he knows Hughes is as good as gone and is worried about the team not going far. Also, Buddy and Joe get killed with dribble penetration potentially exposing him a ton.

To be honest, the fact that we even have to be pursuing Tape speaks volumes about how poor our recruiting has been. We have three centers and they’re either no good or not ready, and all are underweight/outmatched against the bigs in the ACC.
We’ll be wasting FOUR scholarships on centers next year if Tape comes. We need him, and I hope he comes, but my God, how anyone with half a brain can consider this acceptable is beyond my comprehension. Especially when we knew we needed a college ready big this year. We have NONE!

I bet he’s not coming. We needed to lock him on his visit.

welp. I happen to really like Edwards upside actually, and think although he is small now he looks like he has the frame to add weight and muscle. But it goes without saying we need another option

The only way I see this kid coming here if he's told he'll be starting which means BS will be told to look elsewhere, which somehow don't see that happening, as that would make too much sense.

Let’s hope JW is putting some heat on JB to fix the interior problem. If this is the case (probably doubtful) then you gotta kick CD Bay to the curb for Tape. I mean JB seems so fed up with him game by game. He’s not learning anything.

The beat writer for The Athletic tweeted that why were out and Maryland was the front runner. (Was in my first post)
But has since deleted it. Strange
