    Mintz to NBA Draft

    No, he has to work on his own weaknesses. He is never going to be the second coming of The Point God. Depicting CP3 as a pass first PG is wrong. He was a high scorer at all 3 levels. The part of Paul's game that every point should emulate is his efficiency. The ball never stuck in his...

    My mistake. If he did not play for us he would have played for Gonzaga.

    He carried us on his back to a final 4.

    Our future is either the Big 12 or a watered down ACC. Unlike the Pac, ACC has a backup plan to add teams. Will ESPN or someone else buy it?

    Maybe it looks like we are unlikely to get a point guard better than JJ?

    For those who say that Buddy was just patrimony, LOL.

    Will Fran Brown and crew be the

    No. OSU and Wazzu say hello. They got left out despite having ranked football teams. It is more about market share than win / loss records. Rutgers stunk but they got picked up. Folks, long-term we are in trouble. We will be fighting for a Big 12 invite or inclusion in a new super...

    How can we survive if we lose

    The BE was a cupcake? I don't think so.

    Maliq Brown in the portal

    His next team will probably be an ACC contender.

    Maliq Brown in the portal

    No. He left the door open. He also added that he would see how things shake out. The board dismissed what they did not want to hear.

    NC State

    IMO, NCS can beat Purdue. Burns can neutralize Edey and NCS probably has the better supporting cast. They are only 3 pt dogs. My neighbor has a state of the art home theater and is a Purdue engineer, aren't they all, but I won't watch the game with him because, like Beadle, I'll be secretly...

    UCONN….

    Our recruiting was good until the moment we left the BE. UConn's recruiting sucked until the moment they rejoined the BE. Coincidence?

    I could not find a dark chocolate Easter bunny. Milk chocolate is a non starter.

    New JB Interview with Sean Keeley

    Not knowing anything I surmise that Q was peeved that a deadman started ahead of him. Red could have fixed that by starting Q. Now we lost Q who I think could have a high ceiling if he valued the ball and improved his outside shooting. He has the requisite athleticism. We might have had a...

    Brendan Paul... i think may be in trouble.

    It even made it to newspapers in England. The Syracuse angle is to show corruption in big time college sports. News sources usually have hidden motives

    Peter Carey transferring to Siena

    I hate:

    When we joined the ACC seems that most of this forum thought that it would be a boon for basketball recruiting. It was never possible for it to turn out that way. It is not the fault of our staff that we lost more recruiting battles than we ever did when in the Big East. Sales success depends...

    I hate:

    UCONN, GEORGETOWN, DUKE, N. CAROLINA, CLEMSON, N. CAROLINA ST... These expressions of hate are irrelevant now that we are irrelevant. We are living in the past, perhaps because the present is disappointing? It is not like the old days when the hatred was mutual. Disregarding finances, how...

    NIL killed the G League Ignite

    Or, college teams become GG, and GGG Leagues. Schools lease their facilities to pro-teams. Players are under contract.

    Tuesday's Departure Thread

    I see him having a very good year if he has better bigs to pass to. He had to score for us because we lacked fire power. He was inefficient but the tools are there. His mid-range game excels. He gets in trouble when he goes in too deep and does not get the foul called.

    Wish that were true. He added that he will see how the pieces come together.

    No, I don't know them personally but Cope's game fits his loud personality and JT's game fits his reserved personality. Make of that whatever you want.

    Tuesday's Departure Thread

    I hope that Brown, Bell and Peterson stay. Cuffe and JJ are staying. Brown left the door open saying that he will see how it shakes out. If I were him I would not want to play center again. These 5 are improving and will be needed to have a successful team. Taylor was regressing and Cope...

    Watching SJU / UCONN Big East Tourney

    The respective bigs at Duke and UConn turned us down. We are a fish out of water in the ACC. That is a major factor in our recruiting losses. As to the comment that Nova is now middling: they are a number 2 seed. If we stayed: we would still be a hoops power, our football team would be...

    Watching SJU / UCONN Big East Tourney

    One 5* is not enough to compete with Duke or Carolina. Our recruiting tanked when we left the BE. Some say that JB lost his fire. That goes against everything we know about him. Fact is that we lost tons of recruiting battles that we used to win. We even spread a wider net and still got...

    Would an ACC leftover conference actually be good?

    Or. St. and Wazzu had ranked football teams and they got left out.

    So Who Is The First Portaler?

    We need to use the portal so as to have a pf playing pf. No one had to guard JT thus allowing the other team to pack the paint. That was the nail in the coffin for our dribble drive offense.

    Not to mention his prostitutional recruiting.

    Watching SJU / UCONN Big East Tourney

    I don't believe that JB mailed it in. His competitiveness is in his genes. He was the closer while staff recruited. The formula only stopped working when we left the BE.

    Pitino is not a good person. Glad we never stooped that low.

    Watching SJU / UCONN Big East Tourney

    Look at Pitt. They were a perennial Nationally ranked team. Look at Nova they stayed and won. UCon is back in the BE and is doing a 1,000 times better than us. NE teams have trouble recruiting in the ACC. Why should a 5* who wants to play in the ACC go to Cuse instead of Duke or Carolina...

    Watching SJU / UCONN Big East Tourney

    Our old pipelines have not moved, as if cities could move, but we moved to the ACC. Those cities produce kids that want to play in the BE.

    Watching SJU / UCONN Big East Tourney

    DC, Philly, Detroit, NYC, NJ were our pipelines. Those kids were in our footprint. They were not in the SE footprint. Miami was a Big East basketball bottom feeder. Now they are generally more competitive. Basketball players are more visible than football players. They tend not to stray...

    Watching SJU / UCONN Big East Tourney

    The ACC will drastically change. Will it remain Power 4? Our football is on the way up but our basketball team belongs in the Big East. A NE school in a southern conference is a hard sell for basketball recruiting. Basketball recruiting is more regional than football. I don't expect our...

    So Who Is The First Portaler?

    Two players who could not be more different. Billy was never in a rush. Q is never not in a rush.

    No doubt that Horne plays tonight

    I think that Horne will not be a factor. It was reported that he can shoot but does not have lateral movement.

    Players Returning Next Year

    Every pro team is big up front. There are no Roys Runt teams. NBA front kines are tall and skilled. What used to be twin towers is now standard.

    Players Returning Next Year

    I fear that Brown will portal if we do not get a 5. He as much as said so although everyone seems to think that he guaranteed that he will return. If we get a starting 5 what happens to Bell? Bell is our best outside shooter. We need him. Red is partial to JJ. They go back a long ways.

    Players Returning Next Year

    Every pro team starts multiple bigs as do the better college teams. At one time or another S, DC, O, two of them always started together. You play your best players. A stud is not kept on the bench because of spacing concerns.
