Not sure why all of the Syracuse push when New Mexico and Georgia where recent add’s to his top 4. Georgia was in his original final 3. But there is nothing indicating SDSU. But this is the pickup that we really need

Lobos are rebuilding their roster for 2020 - have added a 7 ft JC center and a 6'9" HS center
Orange have the strong reputation for basketball but do have numerous players on the roster that play the 5 unless Frank wants to also play stretch 4 - Georgia is a school on the rise in basketball but both schools will continue to over recruit players
Do hope the Aztecs are still in the chase for Frank - could be opportunity for him to get the PT with a good showing when practices start

All the so called "sources" are saying Syracuse is a lock. Not all the coaches from SDSU jumped on following him on social media which I think is telling.

He could come in and learn and get minutes while adjusting to the college game on a good team. He could adjust physically and mentally to the college game requirements while knowing that he has a solid support staff around him. He would be on a team that looks pretty good for the next few years already with a good core of players and coaches already in place. Next year is going to be a wild recruiting year, with 5 open scholarships and the open transfer likely to take place. |

It's nothing new, and more the norm in today's game. |

May develop into something. Matos, their 6'9" Freshman center is much better but he's still a freshman. They're going to be very young across the board but they have some good athletes. It remains to be seen whether they can avoid the Lobo legendary pitfalls that so many there seem to fall into. If they do, they'll be a good team in a year or two. |

It seemed like he was close to committing to us, then it got real quiet. So, not very optimistic for this one. I find it difficult to understand a legitimate reason New Mexico is involved in this, and other, recruiting battles. It's not the program, they haven't been relevant, outside a couple years with Alford, in decades. New Mexico rarely goes to the big dance and essentially never advances. Albuquerque is an armpit. An armpit in the poorest state in the union. The program is a dumpster fire and has been, off and on, for years. The players they get turn into problems. Lots of transfers in and out. There is little stability. I know the Pit is pretty cool, but what about the rest of their basketball facilities?
So why would a player show interest in New Mexico when there are so many other legitimately better opportunities across the nation? I leave that for others to decide. But something doesn't seem kosher. If you haven't taken their "virtual tour" you should. Their basketball facilities are very good; every bit as good as ours, and since basketball is played indoors & gyms are gyms, the location is less important. They were pretty good just a couple years ago, before adding a few bad apples (Jackson, Hendrix, Lyle, Bragg), and Weir appears to be a pretty good coach. It's not a bad option for Anselem, especially if he's looking for immediate PT. They definitely provide the best option for him to make an impact quicker. Much more so than we do. I'm not discounting Georgia either, as they're pretty thin upfront. |

There's no way in his lifetime he'll be a stretch 4. With Nate here 2 more years & Tomaic here this year I'm sure he's smart enough to realize he's not getting a lot of minutes until year 3, barring an Nate injury. Whether that's enough for him is TBD, but think it makes us a less viable option. |

On the other hand, if he wants playing time - esp. as a frosh - he's going to have to beat somebody no matter where he goes. Maybe he thinks he can beat Tomaic this season and beat out Nate the following season? At Syracuse or Georgia, he'd similarly have to beat out 1 or 2 others for playing time - both this and next season. |

Whether that's enough for him is TBD, but think it makes us a less viable option. If he cares so much about playing time than Syracuse would be a odd choice. Don't disagree, although Sidibe is a senior vs. Nate being a junior, and the others are unproven. If Nate's healthy & given Joshua's experience, he's definitely slotted into the 3rd slot. I think our main selling point may be Nate's uncertainty, along with being a winning west coast team, IF he wants to stay out west. We definitely use our 5 more within the offense than Syracuse does, or at least has done with Sidibe. Or maybe Boeheim (or Coach Red) is less honest with his recruits? He's said development & winning is important, but opportunity is the one he really emphasized. To quote him, "you don't want to go into your freshmen year and not play a lot", although if its a team that wins a lot & wins big, that affords more PT off the bench as well. If he truly wants to come in as a freshman & "play a lot" then NM & Georgia make sense. Both Syracuse & SDSU are good defensive teams, which fits his strengths, but neither are guarantees for PT for at least a year. It'll be interesting, but Syracuse & SDSU are also the ones which have been on his list since April (although Georgia was previously before reclassifying). |

Georgia played last year without a 5 - Hammonds was more a 4 but has turned pro. The path to PT in year one is MUCH more open at NM & Georgia. |

If it is UNM or Georgia, then it answers the questions why his decision date pushed out.

I don’t think New Mexico is a real threat. Then again I think it’s probably Syracuse outside shot of Georgia.

If he wants to be a 4 year starter UNM or Georgia make sense. If he wants a chance to play in March SDSU and Syracuse are better.

This reminds me of the TJ Leaf debacle. Let's hope Frank isn't wearing a black sports coat with a red-and-black tie.

Multiple reliable sources have been reporting it’s a done deal to Syracuse all day.
