Hopefully we can find the money and make it work with Leffew and then Red gets real with understanding we have to get out there and push for NIL money. Hopefully there is some collaboration going on with HCFB on that front too.

Well hopefully we see a major push for hoops NIL money soon to give us a real shot.

If the staff has a major belief in this kid let’s hope they find the money and go forth from there.

Joe did go to play with a bunch of other upperclassmen at Clemson. That said if he’s getting paid ..

Wow that’s pathetic. That sounds more like what I’d expect from Michael Scott in an Office episode

Maliq clearly has a great opportunity there - it’s also a Duke team that will be incredibly young and who knows how good they will be losing so much and replacing with mostly freshmen.

One thing I find interesting is Leffew is following pretty much everyone at SU besides a couple players( including the new additions) and almost no one at the other schools he is looking at. Has to be a money play with Cuse still the leader unless social media trends are trash

Honestly it’s poor strategy too. Money in smaller quantities at high volume is just as valuable as finding all the big fish

Outside of the orange united emails from doing my part there not a single thing but that is in response to donating not requesting . Fan and alum and nothing. Plenty of calls for money from the school but nothing from a collective. That needs to change. Also that’s not the only collective I...

Was doing some digging and found this old article on the Hofstra kid… https://www.allthingshoops.com/jaquan-carlos-drops-92-in-high-school-game/ Going back the last two years his numbers vs good competition are actually pretty strong. His size is the concern but then you look at the guys he’s...

Live look into how things are going on the hoops side right now:

His buddy from MSM just got SEC money to go to Georgia…

Come on- the over reactions are getting out of hand

We are one of many teams losing a huge piece unfortunately. It sucks and there is no rationalizing it but it’s just every programs reality now

Cuffe and Westry are both solid defenders… to start

Gonna be great that when the game is released and it’s real

Hofstra kid could be a decent option but he’s a step down from Leffew once you watch tape. Not to mention he immediately is one of the smallest starting PGs in the ACC. That said I do like his game.

Meanwhile some of the top options people are salivating over a bit too much too. Mack is a nice player but proven? No. Young? Yes. 170 lbs?? That didn’t exactly help us with Judah that size. Most if not all the options out there have some of the same concerns other than playing at bigger...

I was talking about the larger numbers like say what Leffews camp is tossing around which I’m sure is inflated but still figure getting to the higher numbers there are top end earnings(potential) that go with the actual offer..

Good- way overrated and probably overpaid

Duck fuke

I’m curious if these numbers are total earnings over a period of time including all of what you have mentioned less so than like a pro team pitching an offer which would make more sense to me. X # of events etc…

Yep the Nova pic comments are mostly Cuse people lol

Cuffe and Westry while different heights both use their physicality well to do things on both ends of the court. Makes them both great fits to play in a 3 guard lineup for sure where you have the right matchups.

Meh Dug was less efficient as a PG than Judah. Another high usage player.

Cuffe is the player most every good team has to boost depth. Can give you a number of things while being a plus on the court vs a liability. If he blows up over the summer and comes in a different player then that’s just great news for us.

The other one about a fiery place

Yeah I’ll go with OIGs favorite tagline on this one

Euphoria runs out of steam at some point though.

So then to make sure I’m doing this right… Xavier is the choice now;)

Me too

https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/39945519/2024-25-ncaa-mens-college-basketball-transfer-portal-tracker-updates-visits-commitments Hmmmm.. check list on Roach

Get paid and hopefully win Get paid Win and hopefully get paid Just win That’s the new order of importance for many.

He’s an experienced backup guard who for now is a 3 and D guy. Someone who backs up the 2 or plays when you decide to go 3 guards as another wing. He is limited in any other role unless he makes a massive jump which is hard to see happening given how he plays.

I guess another factor is NIL terms- if they go beyond a players time on campus and that money is tied up then you are managing the equivalent of dead money too… this is something I’ve been curious about how it’s managed with the portal and even kids that go pro

Grading it out is where it gets tricky though too- are we too low to be able to compete effectively? Not sure that fact is by any means settled even if we do need to improve- like any money race that’s a moving target so improving is always going to be a goal.

Cuffe start at PG??? Gummies hittin good?

The fact you can see how little all this $$ has truly translated to results is important too. Great example of a multi sport school figuring it out is Tennessee. Chasing good mid major guys out of the portal while trying to retain what they can of their guys. I’m sure they have a bigger budget...

Winning has never been about just having deeper pockets and never will. Being smart about managing a program from every side of it including how you build your staff and the model you use to coach your team (as well as being capable of coaching) paired with work ethic in this social media driven...

It seems that there are a lot of people close to the conclusion that hoops at SU is washed and simply using the board to put that on repeat in every thread…. Before we know the outcome of who will be the PG addition this year.

Curious just what kind of leader this guy really is…

I’m curious who is your realistic better choice then? A non tactician recruiter unproven as a position coach? A former coach out of the game for many years? You’ve gone way too deep into evaluating fit for an asst job measuring the credentials of a coach as a head coach. You’ve managed to...

It’s April 17th- long ways to go. A bit early to come to conclusions at this point in portal madness.

Reed is a big step down from Clingan. That’s just how good Clingan is.

Also - he’s not a toothpick. Time to use that size and be far more physical on the defensive end. We should have depth so we don’t need him handing out buckets to preserve fouls

Tell that to Louisville for one example. Coaching matters too. Nova another being front and center

FIFY

Well they can outdo us on NIL but whiffed on their coach choice. They are back to the same Nova they always were before Wright

Funny thing consider it’s a post in Cuse gear reaching out to Cuse fans on his IG…
