It has been a long time since an all or almost all freshman team won the tourney, I wonder if all the defections mean they have more nil to pay or to keep the incoming players they had to promise more money.
he should maybe take a good offer, this is like Shark Tank, you ask me to counter I may choose to look elsewhere especially with the quality of players entering the portal now.
There are plenty of minutes for stars who want to win. UCONN players just won a Natty and putting multiple players in the NBA who are not seniors because they were intelligent enough to know the NBA cares about talent not statistics. Whether you play 20 or 38 minutes a game, if you have the...
He just kept getting better, yes there are holes in his game but he is a great athlete and shooter and should keep getting better. He may be a go to scorer for us this year.
Do not be surprised if Chris Bell takes more strides, rounding out his game a bit. There is a reason many think he has a shot at the NBA. He may need all four years but wouldn't it be great if he gets there.
Smells like a Scott Borals negotiating ploy. Let him walk for over 500 k I think we could do better. If not pay less and save money for other/future needs. I wonder when donor fatigue will set in. I would go down to the NRC before I would make these kids millionaires. Just my two cents and...
Are there any centers who will play next year as good as Clingan and Edey were? I don't think the big leaving AZ is as good as they were. A bunch of excellent college won't be back next year.
It does not matter where they come from. Donovan Clingan played HS ball in a very mediocre conference. He just kept getting better and better. Players develop all the time. I think we need to trust that we will get the best players we can afford. You want five stars, start writing five...
Yeah, I saw that comment and I was like huh, how is that. I guess any school can out bid a school for a given player, my concern is that we need multiple players so we have several bags to fill and maybe keep filling.
I have a feeling that before the musical chairs ends there will be plenty of players looking for a spot. Once the big dominoes fall we might get a PG for two slices from The Varsity and a 50.00 gift card to Shirt World.
Best advice I got about Syracuse was from my brothers' girlfriend who graduated from SU before I went. She told me not to let the weather get in the way of a good time.
Big Bob Parker was a 6 foot 6 inch or thereabouts, I had a friend who said he was 6 foot tall and 6 foot wide, rebounding machine. He was quite husky but integral in the school's first final four season. Played when Roy Danforth ran the team.
Unless donors are ready to shell out big dollars you take what you can get. This has nothing to do with a player being a fit or liking the coaches or the facilities. This has to do with a young man getting a chance for a huge pay day and he has up to 4 years to do it so you will see players...
No matter what I hope he gets a degree. He is not a lock to be successful pro, he might be a pro but a degree could really help him reach success either way.
My freshman History Professor, God rest his soul, spoke eloquently that the answer to most of historys critical issues was money. Why should athletics be any different in the NIL era. All things being equa or nearly equal perhaps a player wil stay where he or she has bonded. Perhaps someone...
Solar Eclipse on Monday this is it folks the beginning of the end. If anyone of you sends me a million dollars i will turn the lights back on after I turn the sun off on Monday, if not, well the tremor was just the start of my plan for a new world order.
It could be that Mike is talking to Judah's close friends, reporters can be very intrusive into one's personal life. He may be 99 percent sure he is gone but until he announces he is still at SU. Does the school provide its' athletes with any way to keep a reporter from snooping around. With...
It is the head coaches job to make decision, not all pan out. As I recall the board was going nuts wanting Quade. Remember Shai developed really well but Quade had better credentials out of high school. Wasn't Shai cut from the team at one point in high school. Kind of like the Jordan story...
Read on the Buffs sight he was a fan favorite, very gregarious. Sounds like a veteran leader. Turnovers are a concern. SU need a great bigs coach whether he comes to SU or not.
