Class of 2025 LB Antoine Deslauriers (QC/GA) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (4/26/24)

I think the original poster meant something different.

The way football has been successful with NIL fundraising, it -- in theory -- should be easier to do the same with basketball, given we have had more success and we have more alumni who follow the sport (that's reality).

The fact that we aren't close is worrisome and very disappointing.

To some degree, no one on the basketball side has really ever “asked for the sale” like HCFB has. Many people need to buy into a vision before they are willing to financially support a cause. HCFB has done that and people including me literally bought into it. HCAA hasn’t at least as far as I can see or at least not with as persuasive and passionate a vision. That’s not to discredit HCAA. I think he’s done a terrific job thus far.

I think coaching is a multi-faceted job. And I don't think we have done a good job on the men's basketball side making NIL -- which is fast becoming THE most important piece in roster construction -- as big a deal as it needs to be. To Fran's credit, he gets that. And it has worked in his favor.

Gentlemen keep the discussion on Deslauriers or you will find your posts ejected into the ether.

Where DesLauriers will tackle them with speed and ferocity.

Floyd? Floyd Little?

Come on man.

Yes. I was a good friend of Floyds as a walk on back in the day - in my opinion Antoine has the same pedigree.

That’s great, but a lot of guys have on this team since then who are also ver, very, very good and highly regarded coming into the program.

Why is he extremely privileged to receive an offer from Indiana university….

 

[crales44]

Because Canadians are very polite?

"Indiana wants me, Lord I can't go back there"

I certainly didn't have an R. Dean Taylor song on my Deslauiers bingo card.

Kudos.

We will be getting, and have gotten, some exceptional players in this class but Antoine will be my favorite throughout. Our next Dan Conley! Really hope he enjoys his time in our little "burg".

Love that our future All American LB is up this weekend with other big time recruits. He will definitely help recruiting others that are visiting!
