“Premature anything is never a good thing” James Arthur Boeheim

For Christ’s sake, the level of pessimism of some posters on this board is astounding, it’s been less than 24 hours since Freeman committed and you’re bringing up the potential for a decommitment. I realize we have had some lousy luck over the last few years in recruiting but allow us to enjoy...

The great Louis Orr was from Cincinnati.

Another thing old Nick doesn’t get is that even if William’s basketball skills aren’t up to his standards he’s a large young man and he will be on campus with him next year. You might want to think twice about who you insult on social media.

Funny you would ask about AJ Bombers, I was at the Milwaukee one just a few weekends ago. Apparently they just decided not to renew their lease, the Madison market is pretty saturated with those type of joints. Anyways a couple places I like to go for food in a pinch are Ian's Pizza and...

That is correct, you can find all types of ethnic restaurants all over downtown, especially along State St. As far as a true Wisconsin experience I would recommend a visit to the Old Fashioned right on the Capitol Square, brats, burgers and cheese curds with a great selection of local beers...

You seem to convey that as being a negative, didn't we have one Carmelo Anthony who lead us to our only National Title as a one and done?

Hopefully Trevon will talk with Briscoe about UK again after the season when he's disgruntled about not having the ball in his hands all the time. ;)

It is highly doubtful, the UW staff has seen him numerous times including a recent camp and have declined to offer. From what I know the Badgers only plan on taking one more lineman this cycle and have other prospects higher on their board. As a Wisconsin native and fan of both programs I'd love...

Evan Flood just put in a crystal ball for Heckel to SU. This guy is dialed in to Wisconsin high school recruiting so I think the Orange are golden on this one!

Forgot about Dion already? He seemed to get up pretty effortlessly. That said it is great to hear that Malachi is developing physically. If he improves his dribble drive game he will be a deadly offensive weapon with his outside shot.

I love the first sentence of that article, "Syracuse has a reasonable chance at getting a pretty fair recruit". That comment just reeks of Duke smugness, one of the many examples of why I hate everything about the Blue Devils.

When I watch some of Lydon's highlights I'm reminded a bit of a certain kid from my hometown (Sam Dekker) who is having a solid sophomore season at Wisconsin. He is a combo forward with good athleticism and solid all around skills. Sam was a fringe top 100 player in his class as a junior who...

With all due respect to Jay Wright and the Villanova program, if Tyus was at tonight's game he likely isn't too impressed. After being among the 35,000 plus who witnessed the spectacle in the dome last weekend their venue would appear small time in comparison.;)

These Big 12 teams sure like to milk their time on national TV, I'm having flashbacks of the Baylor/Oklahoma game a few weeks back.

I know it was eons ago and not really relevant as far as our current recruiting but we have pulled a top 5 kid from Michigan, Derrick Coleman out of Detroit in '86.

...And not to mention Memphis is a hot bed for basketball talent, for it's size that city might crank out more division one college players per capita than any other city in America.

Yeah...Melo doesn't support his alma mater, he just donated millions of dollars so SU could build a state of the art practice facility. :crazy:

From what I've seen Tyler's game reminds me of a certain guy currently on the coaching staff, one Adrian "Red" Autry.

+1 I have to give props to all the fellow diehard SU fans who share their firsthand info on the kids we are after. This forum is an absolute godsend for a recruiting junkie like me who lives outside the region.

He made Wayne Selden look like he was stuck in quicksand with that drive. :cool:

If that's the case there will be an enormous logjam at the 3 and 4 next season , some very talented players are going to be riding pine.:(

Coach Majerus is originally from my community (Sheboygan WI). He has had heart issues for years, in fact he has been on the transplant list for about 4 months now. It is extremely sad to hear of his passing, he was a unique character and a genuinely kind human being.

It may be neither a 2013 0r 2014 prospect, it very well might be Isaiah Briscoe.

Why do you have to go and kill our buzz???

Ennis plays a lot like the coach who is recruiting him, Red Autry who just happened to be a McD-AA. He doesn't have elite athleticism but is a savvy floor general who gets his teammates the ball where they can do damage and knows all the nuances of the position. He also shows the ability to...

For whatever reason the 2013 class isn't moving real quickly on their decisions, only 15 of the top 50 players are committed as of now. The dominoes will begin to fall soon and I'm certain SU will land some of the big fish their shooting for.

Derrick Coleman, the centerpiece to the great SU teams of the late 80's. I loved watching his epic battles with Alonzo Mourning back in the day, he brought the swag and bad ass attitude that was needed when playing Georgetown, Pitt, etc.

In the 1988-89 and 89-90 seasons, Derrick Coleman, Stevie Thompson and Billy Owens.

Anyone who is complaining about our recruiting the last few years is out of their mind, we have been bringing in better talent than Kansas which is considered a blue blood program. The only reason SU doesn't have a top 5 class every year is we're not signing 5 players in a class. Look at the...

Here I thought I might find some new information about Isaiah Briscoe and instead it's a rant about how horrible half the SU roster was for the 2007-2008 season. There went 15 minutes of my time I won't get back.

You can add Rak to the list, that was a nice kick in the nuts to Georgetown when we swooped in and got him when they thought he was theirs.

Stevie is #7 on the career scoring list in SU history, that's a pretty special career imo. He didn't have a jump shot but he was a spectacular finisher on the break and a very good defender. He will always get props from me for being a team player who played out of position as a senior in the...

What this team needs going forward is a floor general and Ennis fits the bill, Jordan's game sounds more like that of a scoring combo guard. We should have plenty of players at other positions on the roster capable of putting up points, I'd prefer a distributor.

That Indiana game in the preseason NIT was probably my favorite game from a highlight standpoint, it looked like the Harlem Globetrotters vs. the Washington Generals. Watching that video makes you remember and appreciate how talented those squads in the late 80's and early 90's were, DC's power...

There won't be any issues for Coach Boeheim, Madisonians are cordial and polite, at least towards anyone who isn't an extremely conservative politician.;)

Here in Wisconsin many people thought he was a lock for Marquette, from the way it sounds Buzz isn't a happy camper!

Nolan is from just down the road (Milwaukee) so I know a little bit about him. He has good athleticism for a center but he hasn't sharpened his skills yet. I know Yukon is desperate for bodies but Nolan is a project that will need some time before he is a consistent contributor.

I wonder if Dion is writing this diary for an online journalism course.

It wouldn't be a bad thing for him to get his feet wet somewhere else and he would be learning from one of the all time great coaches. Larry Brown is notorious for jumping from job to job so a perfect scenario would be for DC to work under him for a few years before coming back home to the hill.

Thanks Francis for all the info, totally agree that other than Ennis we don't need instant impact with the 2013 class with all the talent already on the roster. The 2014 class looks extremely promising but the 2015 class has me extremely excited, Briscoe and Bryant could be the foundation of a...

The heights and weights for a lot of these 15 and 16 year olds are inaccurately stated, heck on another site Stevie Jr. was listed as being 6'2" and 165lbs.:noidea:

The battle for Billy Owens was down to SU and UNC, Jeff Lebo and his dad who was Billy's high school coach were selling UNC hard to him but the fact that his brother Michael was already on campus tipped the scales in our favor.
