    New Assistant

    Anyone advocating for Griff to move on right now is basically lacking brain cells. GMac just got a HC gig. Bad scenario to lose your top two assistants right now. I think it was time for GMac to move on. Griff being here for a while longer is a good thing. I’d like to see him improve his...

    Boomers gotta boom All “facets of life”. “Facts of Life” was an 80’s TV show, which was actually very popular amongst Boomers. ;)

    Peter Carey in the portal

    He’ll be successful at a lower level of competition (MAAC or Patriot league seems right). He also needs to stay healthy. His progress has been stunted because of injuries.

    Syracuse Sports Insiders

    Unless he’s using some type of AI chat bot, or at least plans to in the future, it seems like a platform that’s not really scalable.

    All reasonable choices

    2024 Spring Practice

    The more quality depth at RB we have the better off we will be. Bama’s 5th string RB would start at most schools. Can’t have enough quality depth.

    2024 Spring Practice

    We’ve received more Spring football coverage in the first 3 days than the last 3 years combined. It’s very refreshing. I hope the spring game has a strong fan turnout.

    Big Ten dominance

    ACC’s primary goal is to protect the Carolina royalty schools. Duke and UNC are always getting in with top 4 protected seeds. They’ve negotiated first/second round tournament games to almost always be in North Carolina. Their goal is being met. Everything else doesn’t matter.

    GMAC to Siena

    Happy for GMac. Feels like the right time for this move for all parties. Also, Red now has his first branch on his coaching tree.

    GMAC to Siena

    So like $50k per year……

    GMAC to Siena

    It MUST go outside of the SU family. Red needs to hire a top tier assistant with deep recruiting ties and a strong ability to scheme and coach up the team. It will be a critically important hire for Red, he has to get it right.

    GMAC to Siena

    Only chance we have to get Weaver back to Cuse is to watch a game if he needs to scout a player.

    NCAA 2nd Round Games for Sun March 24

    NCAA really screwed over the ACC this year. Not only did they not give the conference enough credit because other conferences manipulated the NET resulting in less teams getting bids, they also placed the ACC teams in the same Regions. So it’s looking like the ACC will have 4 teams in the Sweet...

    GMAC to Siena

    Not sure how this play relates to Siena or GMac as a head coach, but I guess it’s cool to post this legendary play in any thread

    Class of 2025 DB Marcus Upton (NJ) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (3/23/24)

    If kids are getting offers this early in the process it’s a safe bet that they project as 4 star+ recruits or will have tremendous upside/hidden gems the staff sees as having high potential. We’ll also start to see if we have the “Fran” effect where kids start to get rated higher because Fran...

    2024 Spring Practice

    All those early questions about Fran: Can he recruit at a program like Syracuse? YES Can he build a great staff? YES Can he coach during games? TBD but trend looks positive

    Class of 2025 OL Byron Washington (TX) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (3/23/24)

    DeSoto is top tier of Texas football. His team won states last season. He just needs to get in better physical condition. S&C coaches have a very large and raw slab of marble to work with.

    Waco is, um, not great. Not sure about Louisville, maybe it stinks too.

    Random plays that stick with you

    Jeremy McNeil, a career sub 50% free throw shooter, making two free throws in the final minute to tie Pitt, then making a put-back to beat them at the buzzer in the Dome.

    Fifteen teams on NET Top 40 lost their first game.

    1. The NET is garbage 2. There are many flaws with the NET that support it being garbage without needing to point to the NCAA first round results 3. Did I mention the NET is garbage?

    Tuesday's Departure Thread

    No insight, just a guess. He’s working with his handlers and will declare a Pro/Portal dual announcement to give him the most flexibility to maximize options (and ultimately pay) for next season.

    Tuesday's Departure Thread

    Shooting. Must address outside shooting. Moore will help, but really need another deep threat. It can’t all be Bell and a streaky JJ

    Slow death of the ACC takes another major step

    Clemson was dead and buried as a program just over a decade ago. They’re lucky Dabo resurrected them.

    Best of luck to Q. If he can figure out how to shoot he can be a dominant player. I could see him doing well at one of the Philly or Big East schools.

    NIT Bracketology

    Nope. I was right after the BC loss and I’m right today. Season was a bust. Hard to call it a success. It wasn’t a complete and utter failure, but it hasn’t been a successful year. Now it looks like Red is tearing down half the roster. I’m going inclined to still call it a bust. But I’m hopeful...

    NIT Bracketology

    Healthy without drama 22+. He did a good job winning 20. Still doesn’t mean this season isn’t a bust. We’re not playing meaningful basketball in March, that’s all that matters.

    When will we make the NCAA again

    Coaching adjustments are needed this offseason. I’ve stated many times before that it’s time for GMac to move on.

    NIT Bracketology

    I think it’s hysterical that so many posters piled on me when I called Red’s first season a bust. While Red did a good job navigating through this challenging year and put up a respectable record, I think it’s fair to still call this season a bust based on what has transpired over the past two...

    It’s clear the only way we could’ve made it is if we won the ACCT. We were never going to be able to overcome the NET.

    When will we make the NCAA again

    Simple poll. When will we next make the NCAA tournament?

    We’ll bail, but it will be after playing about 20 minutes of basketball in some A-10 gymnasium.
