    Melo - Jeremy McNeil

    My recollection: McNeil walked slowly onto the court, looking uncomfortable. He was alone for a couple of seconds. Then Forth headed out to join him. The rest of the team followed. A great moment.

    New Assistant: Dan Engelstad [Official]

    With the annual roster turnover due to the portal, most every team would benefit from a summer overseas excursion.

    Ten guys on the roster for next season.

    That's the number of minutes in 365 days, i.e. a year.

    I wonder how many of them were leftovers from the previous regime and how many were part of Sanders's overhaul.

    I doubt Taylor's NIL was very sizeable.

    Possible Portal Point Guards

    Some clarification is needed here. Spencer's "career" at Rutgers was one season. He played 3 years at Loyola, following his brother Pat, the Tewaarton (Heisman) winner in lacrosse. The brother was also a hooper, playing his 5th year at Northwestern with 10/4/4 numbers.

    Possible Portal Point Guards

    We need someone who can run the offense. .333 from behind the arc is sufficient for a good point guard.

    I think I might prefer the Hofstra guy for that reason. The CAA (now Coastal) is a step (or two) above the MAAC.

    College Sports Tomorrow Super League of Extraordinary Teams

    Jake Crouthamel always said that a 9-team league was ideal. 4 home league games, 4 on the road, lots of flexibility to fill out the schedule.

    Utah coach at NCAA’s

    The false incidents usually involve a single (non?) victim--Duke lacrosse, the Sharpton/Bronx story. This one concerned all the members of the Utah traveling party--perhaps 30 individuals. Did they all lie?

    NC State

    Late to the party, but a couple of things-- NC State's top 7 players are all transfers ( a couple double-transfers, and 4 are grad students). Maybe they needed to get to the end of the season to get the new arrivals integrated. 5 of the 7 are in their first year in Raleigh. For the conspiracy...

    NC State

    Check the tape--it was a 3-point shot. This from next day's paper: Michael O’Connell's buzzer-beating 3-pointer got the game to overtime and DJ Burns' dominance got NC State through to the title game. Burns scored 19 points to lead four Wolfpack players in double figures. O’Connell and Ben...

    IF the ACC breaks up, what are the likely outcomes for Syracuse?

    This is the crux. Although this has been the historical paradigm, there is no reason for it to continue. The NFL isn't involved in baseball or basketball. The NBA has nothing to do with football or hockey (except to sometimes share arenas). And that's not even considering the individual sports...

    IF the ACC breaks up, what are the likely outcomes for Syracuse?

    I w I wasn't referring to population; just asking how far you would extend the area considered to be part of a program's home turf. Besides which, there must be substantial K-State, U of Missouri, maybe even Wichita St. fan bases in KC. SU doesn't have any P-5 competitors in most of Upstate.

    NCAA 2nd Round Games for Sat March 23

    Keatts has been very busy in the portal. His top 7 players are all transfers, 4 of them grad students. Maybe they did take 30 games to figure it out.

    Fifteen teams on NET Top 40 lost their first game.

    How you're playing late is not always an indicator to how you will play in a post-season tournament. A couple of obvious examples this season--NC State on a 4-game losing streak before winning the ACCT. Long Beach on a five-game downer before winning their tournament. Alternately, Auburn...

    Class of 2024 PF Donnie Freeman (MD / IMG) COMMITTED & SIGNED TO SYRACUSE (5/11/23)

    Unless he develops a whole new set of skills in the off-season, Bell is not a 2-guard. Starling had a 1:1 assist/TO ratio as a secondary ball-handler. That was without the opposition's primary perimeter defender on him. You can't put a square peg in a round hole, even for short periods.

    Class of 2024 PF Donnie Freeman (MD / IMG) COMMITTED & SIGNED TO SYRACUSE (5/11/23)

    Where on the roster referenced above do you see an above-average ball-handling guard? Certainly not Starling or Bell.

    Class of 2024 PF Donnie Freeman (MD / IMG) COMMITTED & SIGNED TO SYRACUSE (5/11/23)

    That lineup would be vulnerable to a press. They might average 20 turnovers per game.
