    Our crying need. A true center!

    First I would disagree on no big man development because Maliq, Jesse, Sidibe, Marek, Paschal all improved while at Syracuse. This theory has flaws as far as you need to play the position to coach it. The best big men in the history of the program were coached by Bernie Fine (Manager) and Mike...

    GMAC to Siena

    Not 100% certain but I was told that it wasn't just the former head coach. Regardless if he is offered the job this time he will be taking his fishing pole to Loudonville...

    Mike Hopkins and UW

    To compare the players that Griffin has worked with to those that Fine had seems kinda wild. Bernie had perhaps the most talented F's and C's in the history of the program. Many accuse the coaching staff of underachieving during the height of recruiting in the 80s and early 90s. It's not top...

    Benny Williams dismissed from program

    Plenty of guys were given multiple chances in this program. I am sure there are numerous players that none of us or a very small margin know about and the amount of chances they were given over the history of Cuse Hoops. To say BW was given the most I can't say is true or not. However I do...

    Last three games vs. Miami

    The 2 games in 22 Cuse did not have a lead guard. I sat courtside and watched Cuse struggle to inbound the ball 3 or 4 times inside the last minute and turn it over. Walked out of the Dome that day in shock that a program I started watching with Pearl and then Sherm couldn't inbound a friggin...

    Pitt Postgame Thoughts

    Earlier this season I thought I remember seeing 44 bench points. Not sure if 52 is a program record but you have to be dead on with saying it has to be within the vicinity of being so. Something I find comical and the old 7.5 man rotation was Cuse played in a 6 overtime game back in 2009 and...

    Oronde Gadsden retuning

    He is staying. As others have stated he doesn't want to leave. Coach FB flew down to SFLA to meet with pops.

    Are we better with Hima out there over McLeod?

    Rak and Fab both would have to be in the top 12 somewhere for me. I am not sold that Jesse was amazing but I know he would be a much better option than the current roster of bigs brings and his scholarship would be off the books next year. Unfortunate how it all went down but I think the Cuse...

    were there any d1 kids playing in Glens Falls over the weekend?

    Mariah and Bria are both 99 average students and are amazing kids in the school. You are a little incorrect their older sister Anya plays hoops at Ithaca. Younger brother Kalin is the 8th grader. Be on the lookout for him going to be a tremendous football player at Schroeder. The girls lost in...

    were there any d1 kids playing in Glens Falls over the weekend?

    Saw Victor play a few times this season. In my opinion the best passing high school team I have ever seen. No Division 1 basketball kids in my opinion. Their big guy is a pretty good football player from conversations I have had with coaches that played against him last year. Haven't seen him...

    2003 Albany Regional Memories

    Amazing weekend. A buddy and I got some really good seats from some politician in the Capitol. Made the drive in Friday night from Rochester. My buddy was crushed when he found out they weren't selling beer. Don't remember much from the Friday night games other than the crowd being loud, Auburn...

    Remember JB’s transition game the first 30 years give or take?

    I think Bell could because he isn't going to be underneath cleaning the window. Plus modern hoops he will be heading to the corner while Judah and JJ rim run.

    Coach's Show 2023-24

    Prediction on staff and players

    Will Murph come back to shut it down?
  19. M

    What I expect at this point…

    After that circus ending of the presser how does that make Red (assumed successor) feel. Your former coach, mentor and friend says he doesn't want to stop coaching and now you have the job because your employer fired the man that brought you to Syracuse 2 different times in your career.
  20. M

    ...and that's how the season ends -- not with a bang, but with a whimper

    Red was on his staff and is the likely next step. Kind of surprised however he would say that on National TV

    What I expect at this point…

    Got the feeling from Gerry's speech that it seemed like a Thank You to the 315 prior to an exit. Makes sense you think he will not be here next year. For those close to the program. Would Josh Pace ever make a switch to the mens' game? As far as X's and O's I think the womens' game runs more...

    I hope that the fans treat the WF game

    Understand what you are saying and agree 1000%. However if that is what the University, Athletic Department, Baseketball Program, JAB and Family are looking for they are going to have to make an announcement of what the plan is...

    They’ve stopped playing for him.

    I agree. I have to be honest it is a miracle that Coach was able to get to 16 wins with this team. I know this won't be popular but in my opinion it kind of proves he is actually a good in game coach. Now the construction of the roster is entirely on him. The 6 recruiting cycles prior to this...

    My guesstimate at lip reading JAB "I don't want to hear about those officials. I got #@$&ed from those guys too"

    Cuse opens -1 vs NC State.

    Unranked favorite at home vs. a Top 25 team has been an autobet for 25+ years

    After watching this reminds me of a more fluid running Thomas Bryant when he was at Bishop Kearney.

    Mike Brey to retire

    I feel like a few years ago he acted like a goof and didn't shake JAB's hand after a game or something along those lines. Screw that dude

    Hop brought back for next year at UW….

    Well I was always under the impression that Hop would absolutely get the first call whenever the job here opens up. Would think if that is the case and no longer employed by Washington...Just putting 2 and 2 together.

    Class of 2023 PF/C Drew Fielder (CA) Offered

    Being from Rochester and a Cuse hoops fan for the last 40+ years I can't help but find parallels between the downturn of the hoops program since the 2013-2014 season and the decisions made by Kodak to not go digital...

    Josh Mballa in the portal from UBuffalo

    Ever or this cycle? They definitely did not recruit Tape out of high school he went Ivy. The Powell kid from Auburn who had ties to Cuse wasn't recruited during high school. Did they recruit Towns in high school? I believe there was another shooter around that time they were kicking the tires in...

    What's Boeheim telling '23 recruits?

    "The ironclad plan is that I am here until Buddy steps in when his pro playing days are over."

    Bill Raftery…….

    Last night's crew was very good imo. However imo the best ever hoops trio to me was Raf, Bilas and McDonough. Maybe it was because Syracuse was fun to watch during that era and was still part of the Big East. Imagine a 6 overtime game with some of the crews Cuse fans have seen the last few...

    I wonder if JAB will have GMAC reach out to Khalid Moore? Cuse recruited him pretty hard if I remember correctly or was he just someone they thought would help to get Kofi?

    Frank Anselem Transferring to Georgia

    Welp the only positive is based on Dasher's post one can assume it is more than likely Benny isn't leaving.

    What I'm hearing

    I assume 2nd semester he was ruled ineligible hence 1/5 being his last game. They were 11-4 at that point. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/gamelog/_/id/4278074/type/mens-college-basketball/year/2020 I don't know jack about their roster especially that season. However they...

    What I'm hearing

    It shouldn't!! There will be people that are pissed but come on those will be fans much like those that post "Mark Few, Jay Wright, Rick Pitino, Billy Donovan, Brad Stevens" should be the coaches that Syracuse should reach out to whenever JAB leaves his post. Hop is a top recruiter nationally...

    What I'm hearing

    Jake or anyone for that matter. Would Murph come back and be the "bench" coach with Hop? Maybe Weav would tell him you have to go back and "Shut it Down" at Cuse?!

    Jimmy Boeheim: Exit Interview

    It just dawned on me today as I walked out of the dome. Late last year the head coach was doing some quick math. I think he thought 18-20 wins was in the bag per usual. Wouldn't it be pretty cool to get 1000 a 2nd time with two sons on the team?!?! He grossly overestimated the ability of this...

    Anything less than a top 25 season next year should be unacceptable

    Here are the consequences guys...Jimmy IV and Jackson II will be required to sit for :30 each half for the 2042-43 season for their Papa's farewell tour! In all seriousness nothing about the roster smells anything remotely close to a top 25 team next year.

    Does the frustration of the fanbase even matter to the AD?

    They are rarely on TV and when they are it is late so haven't seen them much to see what they have done all season. However before I passed out watching them tonight they were mixing man and zone vs. UCLA fwiw

    Postgame Thoughts… UNC

    This Syracuse team as bad as they are from a historical sense somehow finds ways to continuously rip your heart out. I just can't believe how angry I was that they lost this game. Listen no need to beat a dead horse. The roster management has been a total disaster since 2015 and has reared it's...

    Mike Hopkins and UW

    Did anybody happen to catch the Wash/ASU game? I passed out watching some game the other night woke up and saw the last :50 seconds of the game. It sure appeared on TV that Hop was sending some not so pleasantries to Hurley after the game.

    Well after reading your quote I had to go hear for myself because it didn't add up. Like I said difficult to blindly back JAB nowadays. I hope this was an honest misquote from SI and not done on purpose to fit an agenda.
