I think he's former Michigan player. No clue of his actual role....but he's definitely been a Pro Woodson guy. He occasionally has some odd takes but overall I find him a good follow. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you look at the class as a whole between these two and the portal guys I think it is a really good class I think Newton and Cupps are going to contribute more than some think. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newton hasn't gotten a ton of run because of the injuries. Cupps is just a bigger stronger longer Jordy. Maybe not as dead of a shooter but in the same neighborhood. Lots of planning goes into class size and structure too. We all know 24 and 25 is loaded but the key to a solid floor program is guys like Cupps and Newton....Galloway types,etc... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not get into this entire debate, but I don't think there much similar between Cupps and Hulls. Hulls was an undersized shooting guard, Cupps is a legit point guard. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides their size differential I see a certain moxy or chip or confidence or whatever you want to call it. Jordy had it. Yogi did. Looks like Cupps has it as well. Shoot for all we know Cupps is going to hit the ground running like Smith and Loyer and never look back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parakeet Jones Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 GC is another guy I’ve been observing over at the Mike Woodson camp. We’re going to grow to love this guy. Other fan bases will grow to hate him. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think McNeeley would be another guy our fans would love and others would hate. Edited July 11, 2023 by Zuckerkorn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted July 13, 2023 Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 I suspect him and Braeden Smith will have some pretty epic back n forths. Both seem to be very similar in skill/demeanor. Excited to get him on the court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly certain Cupps is supposed to be a little bit more than Smith in skill 🤷🏻♂️, and is slightly taller/bigger right? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Cupps is a fine addition to our team but regardless what Smith accomplished last year was impressive. Regardless if it was out of necessity he made the most of his opportunity. I also don’t think he is going to get worse…he is only going to improve. I think he is a great ball player and just as much a bulldog on the floor as Cupps. I think they will have some epic battles over the next few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Smith and Loyer had good freshman years, but that doesn't take away from the fact that they're both physically limited as we exposed last year...
