He would be the starter here. Nova just signed the PSU kid and have other guards rostered. Xavier is still looking and in the hunt for a kid they could hand the keys to even if Leffew picked them. SU is still the safest bet for him to load up on PT. This delay has to be about the bidding at...

And he was proved right in many cases. JB had connections throughout the NBA and knew what teams were looking for.

Exactly! It looked like a catapult launch. Those either drop through with a splash, or they clang into the 10th row. No in-between. It was one of the WORST releases I’ve ever seen. No consistent follow-through either. When he did, he made the shot, but most times he released high and...

He didn’t want to be a one and done. Melo wanted to come back another year. JB actually spoke about it an interview one time. He had to tell Melo “you have to go”. His value was so high at that moment, it was time to grab his dream. As much as JB would have loved to have him back, he gave...

I have faith that our Football S&C staff up there are influencing the rest of the programs with their focus on building strength, lean muscle, and mobility. Lampkin will be in good hands. I bet he slims down by 10-15 lbs and is much more cut by October.

He needs the Super Shakes that Fran makes. We all could use a few of those.

If he commits to Nova, I’m driving to JoeCollege’s house to mow his lawn. Neither is happening.

Makes you wonder. So, if $$$ was not an issue, he’s saying it’s better to come off the bench at Duke than at SU? Maybe he just wanted a change of scenery when it was clear that his role was going to be the 6th man? Who knows? He’ll play less at Duke than he would have here. I’d bet on it.

Certainly not DART football. ;)

This is really cool to see. The coaches know they can help each other succeed. Just great timing that we’re in the middle of Spring Camp and the FB Wing is buzzing. Never hurts to have the other head coaches connecting across sports.

UConn. Just looks like a Spencer replacement.

This one still shocks and saddens me. Out of the blue, and he was still a kid. Did they ever say what he died of? I assume it was a heart issue. So sad how his career went. He was a casualty of the whole Bernie Fine BS. If Bernie’s still there, he doesn’t have the problem with “paper gate”.

His PPG clearly don’t measure for this motley crew. He better package himself with Khadary. ;)

“Look, Jay Wright ain’t walking through those doors, son.”

And hustling to get in position to take a charge. He was a maestro at that. Never saw a 7-footer who could draw a charge like guard. Lampkin is going to have Onuaku syndrome where guys are going to bounce off him and all of a sudden there’s a whistle…just because.

This. I’ve asked my guy a few times about this situation over the past many months. ESPN is not going to shell out more money to the ACC because they have a great deal going. They are making a damn good profit off the conference and getting it all for below the current market value. The ACC...

Can’t Biden sign an Executive Order or something to help our cause?

Still can’t believe that Brunner and his roommate robbed their pizza delivery guy with a samurai sword. That is epitome of GTown crossed with Tark. LOL! Guess they thought the pizza guy wouldn’t report them. Numbskulls.

Ballo to UConn. Book it.

Fresno State was the worst place he could have gone. Back on the old AOL board I recall hearing that Walton’s mom was pissed at SU and JB for not “doing more” to get him eligible, and she was the one who ultimately talked him into transferring. I heard JB tried to explain the situation and...

So there really WILL be UFO’s until we prove there aren’t?

Time for some new blood in the Women’s FF. Orange blood, that is. And real Orange, not the creamsicle crap. ;)

Remember, it all goes to the NIL collective. ;)

UConn had plenty of chances to take the game. Iowa’s D started to slow them down, contest shots, and UConn went cold from the perimeter. Both teams got sloppy as well. UConn was playing very scrappy D, so they were bound to start picking up fouls. The problem with the refs is that they were...

I change my previous assessment. That was a foul. Moving screen. VAR got one right. Wait, wrong sport.

There was a lot of contact, but there were also so many more physical fouls they could have called during the game that they didn’t. On the turnover at halfcourt just before that final UConn possession, Edwards actually pulled Stulke away from the ball after she lost it. That could have been...

And we used to do defensive slide drills holding the arms out with bricks in each hand

That’s actually what I meant, Cherie. Wasn’t clear in my delivery. I’m just dumbfounded that we missed on her out of HS, especially with her coming out of Buffalo. Did she commit to VT before Coach Jack was announced as our head coach?

Do we have any analytics people on our staff? Seems that we’re Syracuse University, we should be on the cutting edge of applying analytics to our sports teams.

The Transfer Portal: so easy even a caveman can do it!

Fran and the Recruiting Express must have landed a big fish down there. That was the BOOM that caused it. ;)

Talked to a couple people in the Syracuse area who felt it. Someone I know at SU didn’t feel it up there. Another person told me they felt it out near Cooperstown. I was in the car so didn’t feel a thing.

How did we lose out on Strack again? Hurts to see a 6-5 Upstater playing somewhere else.

Why was he critical?

He’ll fit right in here. Oh, wait…

I know that. Totally different games. DC was not a shooter. His game was blocking shots, cleaning the glass, and finishing strong around the rim. Oh, and a receiver of some very sweet alley-oops from a stud PG

When I first saw Donnie standing on the defensive end waiting for the East to bring the ball over half court, his stance and mannerism reminded me of DC when he was a young pup. He has the same lanky frame as DC when he was a HS senior. I think that bodes well. He just needs to develop that...

Another knucklehead. So glad we sent his team packing in ‘96. One of the most gratifying wins in SU history.

Jemelle Hill needs clicks so she’ll say what she needs to to get them. Her racial shtick is old and stale. Not sure how any sports writer worth their salt can’t see that Clark is just the epitome of a basketball player and a hell of a lot of fun to watch. Maybe she should ask some Syracuse...

The Iowa - UConn game is going to be an amazing display of hoops fundamentals. I hope Iowa can game plan to keep the Huskies off the boards. They killed USC with second chance points. USC was one of the softest teams I’ve seen. They had the height advantage, but UConn just out worked them for...

Now that I’ve watched it again, it does kind of grow on you. He’s definitely a church-going man.

I have to think the extra run he got yesterday and the media blitz Barnes has directed at him have tipped the scales to him going back to UT. Hopefully not, but Barnes is really making it difficult.

I love Maliq as a player and love what he gave us this year. However, looking at this team and this situation objectively, he is not a guy who can create his own shot facing the basket, and he’s not a shooter. Those are just facts. And, he is not the type of center who can create mismatches...

If Lampkin is coming, and it was known this weekend, then what Maliq said to my son’s friend makes sense.

EDITED: My son’s friend saw Maliq at Funk n Waffles over the weekend and asked him if he was coming back. His response: “S-expletive, I THINK so.” My son told me this last night before any of this happened. When I heard the response I was a bit vexed based on what I heard here. Something...

My sentiments exactly. This was a bad turn of events for Red, and Barnes is doing all he can publicly to plug what was an impending leak in the pipes. Hope that Red can keep the dialogue open with JP’s people.

Put this in another thread on the Recruiting Forum. Sounds like Barnes didn’t waste any time circling the wagons. I’m sure he knew there was scuttlebutt going on in the background. Hopefully JP’s extra PT today didn’t alter the path. Wes Rucker @wesrucker247 Follow #Vols coach Rick Barnes...

My friend in Tenn sent me this. It’s obvious that Barnes is trying to get ahead of the impending portal moves. He must know JP isn’t happy. Red probably not happy that JP got so much run today. Wes Rucker @wesrucker247 Follow #Vols coach Rick Barnes on freshman big man J.P. Estrella: We...
