Maliq Brown to Duke

[50YRsofCuse]

Just want to say this. I wish the best for him (even at Duke). However, once he entered the portal and selected his destination, I really do not care to hear about how he does or how much time he plays or don’t.

He made the decision to leave to go somewhere else. Short story is that he is gone and that is that.

No tears, gone is gone and he no longer contributes any value to the team,

he absolutely deserves to get booed.. this is sports. Syracuse put the time in with this kid when he was a no name recruit. Syracuse gave him a chance. Syracuse played a huge part in his development. He said he was coming back. Loyalty. Then he transfers to Duke? cmon man

Thissssss

I agree with you that doing the interview and saying he was coming back was weak sauce. The rest is just the way the hoops world is now. Won’t be the last time something like this happens.

And should be.

Agree, they are paid pros not student athletes anymore. No loyalty, boing is fine comes with the territory

Maliq is a big loss for Syracuse. Anyone claiming he’s not a big loss doesn’t have their head screwed on correctly.

I think Copeland is a bigger loss tbh. Browns a good player but undersized and replaceable.

Whatever thought after Leffew humiliating us after we hired that punks coach and uconn winning 2 titles straight without having to play one close game 12 blowouts is enough for me to not care that much. My favorite player transfered and is getting slandered I took my GF to Hawaii for that garbage. It hurts.

You may actually be insane. Sorry bro.

Did you not listen to dasher about bringing a woman to Hawaii?

That 2nd paragraph is like a stream of semiconscious random thoughts. Blink twice if you need us to send help.

Just a suggestion . . . . let it go my man. I promise you’ll feel a lot better.

We blew this.

Should always take care of your best player. Always.

He’s from Houston, wonder if the terrible flooding, storms etc the past week has affected his family?

I'm sure they have but...why are other posts still up but not Syracuse?

Don’t know - uggh.

Wait, what am I missing here?

With Maliq we’re an NIT team.

The issues are much deeper than just this. Maliq happening just happens to be an uglier one.

Dude, just sit this one out.

Without maliq they’d be lucky to win 10 games

Wasn’t saying otherwise.

Yeah... the rationalization about Maliq's departure not being a big deal rings even more hollow now.

Who said it wasn’t a big deal? It was clearly a big deal. It was one of many “big deals” that are contributing to the current mess. It was “addressed” with the Lampkin commitment but thats now out the door.

Everyone expressing sentiment such as: we couldn't be an NCAA team with Maliq so no big loss, he's too small, he was an offensive liability anyway...

You know, all of those things people said, revealing that they didn't understand his contributions on either side of the floor, in terms of advanced metrics.

All of the same things people said to feel better when they crossed their fingers that Lamkin would fill the shoes that are now completely unfilled.

That’s one way to interpret my post.

What I was saying is him leaving is a problem, but one of many. Him being here doesn’t fix the underlying issues that are plaguing the rest of the program.

That does not translate to who cares about maliq we’ve got bigger issues.
