your post was spot on and in no way out of line.

i dont think anyone has said he will be a bust. have they? The fact is he is not good this year. Borderline awful. But i definitely think by junior year he will be an All ACC type guy.

depth. top schools all have it. we need to build it.

agree. He is a pretty safe bet to leave. People dont seem to think its going to happen, but stay tuned people !!! and all next year: "can you imagine if we just had G this year how good we would be?" (myself included will say this) G coming back is the difference between a top 10 team or a...

We can Robert Washington to recruit this kid for us once he picks CUSE.

Mike G is a better in-game shooter than Cooney. I would rather him take 30 shots a game, then i would Trevor shooting 8-10 shots that have zero chance to go in. Honestly, the blinders people have for him is unreal. Absolutely baffling. Note: Every time someone dares to suggest something...

Like a T-Rex.

Trevor is a mess on breakaways, but at least he gets fouled once in a while. Its better than watching Buss shoot a 3 ball though:

yeah not sure how anyone cant grasp the concept that 40 mins for Cooney are not the same as 40 mins for anyone else. G can get open with little effort and Rak stands down low most the time. Cooney is limited athletically, so he has to work extremely hard to get open. He also usually draws the...

i didnt say he did anything terrribly. I said i dont think he has done a good job. Cooney plays too much. Period. He is obviously our best guard (if you dont count G as a guard), but he wears down every year. He is human. JB says its not big deal and kids can play forever... not true...

im pretty pessimistic usually as well, but I am with you on this one. We will be top 12 to start the year (assuming G comes back and McC stays)... and the sky is the limit. I have no doubt that if McC didnt get hurt, we would have seen G at the point a lot this year. I really think that down...

If you mean blindly agree with every decision JB makes, then no i guess i dont. JB has not done a good job with this team IMO. Agree to disagree. Thats fine. I wont be offended when i am left off your Christmas card list this year. Just a little sad.

Chris M. will be our starting center if we dont get Bryant. 100%.

TCU... amazing they have become a power. Kids want to go there, and they should. I think they have a shot

good ideas. all of them.

G is out best point guard. He will be next year too... But he will be at SF for 40 mins

this is such a typical, ridiculous post to defend JB. this board should be better than that...

yeah, Duke didnt double nearly as much as other teams have...

never. neither Cooney or Joseph can stop anyone. Its tough to watch. And with Rak being told to not foul, we basically give up 3-5 layups a game uncontested down the middle of the paint.

1. Okafor is the real deal. That said, the refs REFUSED to foul him out down the stretch. He blatantly hacked Rak three times, and none were called. That could have changed everything. 2. Rak had a bad game when we needed him most. I know he got doubled some, and had a few assists, blocks...

good post. fair point. Not selfish, just a low BBall IQ i think...

i just laugh at this point. Cooney has bad game after bad game and he gets an eternal free pass from this board. It is what it is. You cant reason with anyone. Its pretty obvious he is not one of our 2 best players, but he takes the most shots... most of them contested and early in the shot...

sounds like you need a hug !! i never said i was sitting in this section, it was just a question. thanks for the advice :)

How strictly do they enforce the "no alcohol" rule?

what are you 10 years old? I think my point is pretty obvious. Much smaller crowd than last year. not reall a debate. the fact that there are good 300 level seats available for 35 bucks is proof of that...

it will not be full. there will be at least 3000 no shows. not in any way taking away from the great fan support. was more just letting people know that very affordable tix are out there, unlike last year.

Last year, it was full. i have never been to a game that even comes close to this. We bought tickets the day before, and the absolute cheapest we found were 90 bucks each and they were not great... a little behind the bleachers on the side in 301. This year, looking at stubhub right now...

some NC state clowns sat right above me last year and a couple seats to the side, they were annoying and we got in to a heated chat for a few secs lol

9-12 i think. so yeah, literally two rows above us

78-66 Duke. they have so much fire power, we have so little. Need to make at least 8 threes to be close.

yeah, there is ALOT more availability than last year. 32500 is my guess. Still awesome.

i agree with your premise, but just to play devil's advocate... is 4 for 13 a great game? not a single one of them was covered really, and i bet at least 50% of college athletes can make 4 out of 13 shots if u stand them at the 3 point line and say "go"...

fair enough. we shall see...

Okafor, Rak and Grant are the only 1st team locks IMO. Crap shoot after that. I think Grant will get POY, not one of the bigs...

I am not citing sources on this as i did with the ban stuff, this is just opinion. He will graduate and I think assuming he is a lock to come back is silly. I do think that he will, but nothing is certain.

yes, its 6. Im too lazy to edit my post. Even though this reply takes longer LOL

Fair point.

At least i would imagine so, is that Rak has been absolutely snubbed by the Wooden stuff. How on earth is he not on that list? I dont think any case could be made for leaving him off the list. He is the best player in the best conference, and he is not on the list. But 7 other guys from the...

kids would rather go play in the Arctic Tundra in front of 500 fans than play for us. Sheesh.

agree. from everything i have heard... those are very good numbers to go by. Not everyone thinks basketball is their whole life.

i realize that people give Cooney credit for everything that any other player does. Its comical. G scores because he can beat his man off the dribble, every time. No one else on SU can do this.

yeah... Harbaugh will start getting kids left and right soon...

National Title Hopes? Says who... Players dreams are to get rich and make $$ as a pro. Mike has that chance, and a degree after this season. We will lose our best player and add a bunch of freshmen. Maybe one out of every 25 freshman we get actually contribute. There is no guarantee that...

This thread is not about Cooney, as much as you will try to make it one, but if you think Trevor is a better overall player than G... you are out of your mind.

G graduates this year and can make a nice career overseas. Him coming back is FAR from a certainty. I was surprised when i heard this, but its possible he may bolt even if we do not get another year of ban.

Good to hear... now can you get #44 back in play so we can get Washington to play here? Then SU can raise prices as we will start to win again !!:cool:

Dan any idea if the price is going up since there are 7 games instead of 6? Not your call, obviously, but SU would be wise to tread lightly with increases. Get people in the stands for a change !!

We are neighbors then... We have been in 324 row B for five years now. Thats where we are thinking of moving from (down to the 100s)... but general consensus here is to stay put. I think we were leaning that way anyways...

Kaleb is so much more important to us than Roberson is too. So this was a good sign. I dont get what people love about Roberson honestly. Well let me re-phrase that... he is very likeable. Works hard, grabs some big boards, etc... But there is a reason that a struggling Chris M started over...

Maybe the worst team in all of P5. Lets not get carried away here. Duke game will be telling...
