The Fizz¬†posed the idea of a “Transformers Lineup” with the prospect of Nerlens Noel adding yet another towering body to the Syracuse lineup. N2 chose Kentucky, but the Orange is now looking at big man BeeJay Anya to fortify the center position. The SU front court is adding big bodies. The Orange already has¬†incoming big DaJuan Coleman¬†joining the team this fall, and Jim Boeheim has reached out to PF Noah Vonleh.
Anya is the top remaining center in the Class of ’13, and he has expectations higher than just serving as a backup.
“I’m coming out to be the best big man in the country. I want to show that every game.”
The current layout of Anya’s offer sheet includes Syracuse, Ohio State, Indiana, Kansas, UCLA, Georgetown, and interest from powerhouses such as North Carolina, Duke and Kentucky.
The 6‚Äô9″, 275-pound beast of Hyattsville, Maryland plays for Team Takeover in the Dallas Elite Youth Basketball League (EYLB). Averaging slightly over 8 points and 2 blocks per game, Anya‚Äôs numbers don‚Äôt seem astounding, but his coaches praise him highly for leadership, dedication, and commitment to getting better. Anya is the centerpiece of Team Takeover‚Äôs run at winning a Peach Jam title this summer.
Syracuse has had great fortune in students recruiting students recently. Anya happens to be a high school teammate with new Orange Jerami Grant. Anya has spoken of the two possibly reuniting in Orange and their great chemistry. The duo could be a deadly combination, especially if they have prior experience playing together. Coach Adrian Autry was a vital piece to the Orange acquiring Grant, and Autry believes Anya would be a great fit.
Anya‚Äôs inside game shows how dominant he is. He reportedly has a 7‚Äô4″ wingspan, giving him a huge advantage on the rebounding front and protecting the paint. He can also use that size to finish inside, something the Orange have lacked over the years.
In multiple cases we saw Boeheim remove NBA draft-bound Fab Melo just minutes into the first half because of foul trouble, leaving Baye-Moussa Kieta as a center replacement. Anya would obviously help in that role, and a Twin Tower pairing of Coleman and Anya could be incredibly imposing.
Leadership and poise are two of BeeJay’s best qualities. He is a vocal leader not just on the court, but in the locker room. Anya has said that he wants a program where he can grow physically, but also gain mental toughness.¬†Rakeem Christmas elevated his game in the tournament, and has big expectations coming into his sophomore season. A motivated and outspoken player like Anya could bring out even more in Rak.
And finally, no surprises here, Anya wants a program that has a history of winning. What could be better than playing for Boeheim? Anya right now is focused on finishing out his AAU career with a championship. For a player as young as he is, to put winning before accolades says a lot about his character and the kind of player he could be at the college level.

Hey outstanding website! Does running a blog similar to this take a lot of work? I have virtually no understanding of programming however I had been hoping to start my own blog soon. Anyhow, should you have any suggestions or techniques for new blog owners please share. I know this is off topic however I simply needed to ask. Appreciate it!
Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and all. Nevertheless think of if you added some great pictures or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this website could undeniably be one of the best in its field. Awesome blog!
Hmm is anyone else having problems with the pictures on this blog loading? I’m trying to find out if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s challenging to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and appearance. I must say you have done a amazing job with this. Also, the blog loads very fast for me on Chrome. Exceptional Blog!
Thanks for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbor were just preparing to do slightly research about this. We got a grab a book from our region library but I believe I learned much more from this post. I’m really glad to see such amazing information being shared freely out there.
It’s a shame you don’t have a donate button! I’d most certainly donate to this fantastic blog! I suppose for now i’ll settle for book-marking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account. I look forward to new updates and will talk about this blog with my Facebook group. Chat soon!
Hello there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site? I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
Howdy would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with? I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!
But a smiling visitant here to share the love (:, btw outstanding design .
First of all I want to say excellent blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your mind prior to writing. I have had trouble clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there. I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips? Kudos!
Hello there! Do you know if they make any plugins to safeguard against hackers? I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any recommendations?
This design is incredible! You definitely know how to keep a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Wonderful job. I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!

Excellent post however I was wanting to know if you could write a litte more on this subject? I’d be very grateful if you could elaborate a little bit more. Many thanks!
Excellent read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on that. And he actually bought me lunch since I found it for him smile Therefore let me rephrase that: Thank you for lunch! “It is impossible to underrate human intelligence–beginning with one’s own.” by Henry Adams.

Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

Everyone loves what you guys are usually up too. Such clever work and exposure! Keep up the great works guys I’ve added you guys to blogroll.
Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You definitely know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?
Does your website have a contact page? I’m having trouble locating it but, I’d like to send you an email. I’ve got some creative ideas for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great site and I look forward to seeing it grow over time.

Greetings! I’ve been following your weblog for some time now and finally got the courage to go ahead and give you a shout out from Kingwood Tx! Just wanted to tell you keep up the good work!
Hello! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog. Is it very difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any tips or suggestions? With thanks
Hi there, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam responses? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can suggest? I get so much lately it’s driving me mad so any support is very much appreciated.
Hey there! This post could not be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my good old room mate! He always kept chatting about this. I will forward this write-up to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read. Thank you for sharing!
Lovely blog! I am loving it!! Will be back later to read some more. I am taking your feeds also
Please let me know if you’re looking for a article writer for your weblog. You have some really good posts and I feel I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I’d really like to write some content for your blog in exchange for a link back to mine. Please send me an email if interested. Thank you!
This really is getting a bit a lot more subjective, but I considerably prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has far more flair, and some cool attributes like √¢‚ǨÀúMixview√¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ that let you speedily see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you√¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and one more set of √¢‚Ǩ≈ìneighbors√¢‚Ǩ¬ù will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by related artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune √¢‚Ǩ≈ìSocial√¢‚Ǩ¬ù is also great fun, letting you uncover others with shared tastes and becoming buddies with them. You then can listen to a playlist developed based on an amalgamation of what all your pals are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you’ll be able to prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so select.
Precisely what I was looking for, thankyou for putting up.
Howdy! This is my first visit to your blog! We are a group of volunteers and starting a new initiative in a community in the same niche. Your blog provided us valuable information to work on. You have done a extraordinary job!
Hey there! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my good old room mate! He always kept chatting about this. I will forward this post to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Thanks for sharing!
Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your post seem to be running off the screen in Ie. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the problem fixed soon. Kudos
I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your site. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme? Great work!
Hiya! I know this is kinda off topic however , I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest writing a blog article or vice-versa? My blog addresses a lot of the same subjects as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other. If you are interested feel free to shoot me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way!
Hey! This is my 1st comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and tell you I truly enjoy reading your blog posts. Can you suggest any other blogs/websites/forums that go over the same subjects? Thanks for your time!
Interesting blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog jump out. Please let me know where you got your theme. Kudos
When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Appreciate it!
Does your site have a contact page? I’m having problems locating it but, I’d like to shoot you an e-mail. I’ve got some ideas for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great blog and I look forward to seeing it grow over time.
