    2024 Spring Practice

    That's not exactly what happened. They changed the substitution rules so that going fast because harder to do. The offense is required to wait. It worked so well in the beginning that teams resorted to faking injuries to stop the game flow. So they changed the rules for the big boy schools.

    Syracuse MBB finally releases a statement

    People need to stop acting like they have a "right" to know details about the players. You don't have a right to know any medical issues and you don't have a right to know anything in their personal lives. If they choose to make it public, fine, but if they don't, live with it. People like you...

    Damien Alford Grad Transferring to Utah

    No opinion one way or the other, but there was some speculation in this thread that perhaps Alford was not doing required activities, including but not limited to community service to the level expected. If true, could that not have played into it?

    Orange Bowl: FSU vs. Georgia

    FSU was missing 14 starters and 25 overall. Georgia wasn't complete either. Missing 5 starters and 19 overall. FSU gets clocked with both teams full strength.

    Kharma’s a B!!@h for Seminoles

    They weren't omitted because they are in the ACC. They were omitted because once Travis got hurt their offense sucked and still does. Record counts but so does the win viability. Without Travis they are not even top 10.

    You're part of the problem. You have no idea who he knows and who they know. Better for people like you to just be quiet. Now I lose another person who was willing to share because of people who make comments like you. Thanks so much.

    Can college Bball clean this stuff up?

    You've been able to take a charge for 50+ years. In the seventies, it was just called an offensive foul, not a charge.

    Can college Bball clean this stuff up?

    If your hand is on the top half of the ball it is not a carry, unless your palm it, Not many guys can palm it during mis dribble.

    All three of your guys shot better their last year in college that they did in their full season in the NBA. Either you're cherry picking or you have no idea how to look things up. That hardly proves your theory. I'm done.

    Kadary Richmond

    Ridiculous post. Kidd was a career 35% 3 pt shooter and better in the late part of his career. Richmond won't sniff that. Payton was the gold standard for a defensive guard and Richmond is not nearly that, either. I won't go into Miller as you are correct. That was a different time and a...

    Dino can't recruit QBs. The OL OL OL crowd is on meth.

    We had a system that worked on offense. Going fast was the great equalizer of talent; so much so that that meathead teams with great players complained enough to get the rules changed. That was the point when Dino's teams started to struggle. Gimmick? In a way I suppose it was but it allowed...

    What must John Wildhack consider as he decides Dino Babers’ fate?

    While that may be true, SU tuition is far beyond most other schools. Therefore the hit is far bigger.

    I don't believe he needs a lane. He can get to the basket without one against about anyone because of his handle and strength.

    Does anyone believe that with a new football coach and the current level of talent, that Syracuse could contend for an ACC title?

    That doesn't work anymore. Interstate, dirt roads, it doesn't matter. With the internet and online scouting services, there are no secrets. Add the portal and NIL and its hard to keep any under the radar guys you do find. And FYI, (not aimed at you) I don't find a 7 win season "good". 8 wins are...

    Melo had great hops when young. I saw a pic of him blicking a shot against Towson and his head was near the rim. Someone here posted the pic... He just picked his spots.

    Jesse Edwards in portal and transfers to WVU

    Arinze never shot less than 56% and played in the NBA. Edwards is actually one of the offensively least skilled centers we have had. Not close to Arinze, Christmas, Otis, Seikaly, Rosie, Schayes, Coleman, Etan, Fab. You are looking at numbers. I'm looking at impact. What some of these guys...

    Joe Girard transferring to Clemson

    I think you guys may be underestimating the G league and the European leagues. He will still be short and athletically inferior to most players. He will likely have to play man D. His shot would play, though. I love the young man but I don't thin pro ball is in his future.

    Met Sweet D today.

    He was from Candor, Dick. I watched him against Dryden (I think) in a christmas tournament game at Cortland State. Game got chippy and the ref (the late, great John Gee, who was also the Cortland HS principal) stopped play and told them to knock it off or they'd be gone. At 6'10 and a voice like...

    It would be dwarfed by the money gained by potentially moving up, say 15 spots in the draft because you played in a system that was a perfect fit and you rocked it. Not to mention if you porta because it wasn't working, you likely defer NFL earnings for another year.
