    Class of 2024 G Elijah Moore (NY) COMMITTED & SIGNED TO SYRACUSE (1/28/23)

    Do not agree though watching on TV limits the ability to really see what is going on. He made All Tournament Team, hit a couple of really tough threes late in the game. I don't know the box but I'm thinking 14 or so points despite being tightly shadowed. And, in my non expert opinion the point...

    It’s Official…

    used to have baseball but the team had to take a southern tour for practice in the Spring due to weather. It was too expensive and I may have been one of only ten fans watching during their last season.

    Class of 2022 C Peter Carey (MA) COMMITTED/SIGNED TO SYRACUSE

    The reason given as I recall, for Murphy’s choice of Niagara was a commitment from the Buffalo Bills related to Niagara U to allow him to lead the Bills Band and show his Twirling skills that won him a national championship in high school.

    Petro named new defensive coordinator

    I don't agree in practice. My former post college roommate was a high school AA in football, a lot of years ago. He played at SU and I casually mentioned on one occasion your premises to him discussing football recruitmen of the Ivies. He said ,"BS". He received in writing a financial package...

    Is it me or did Cook have about five unforced turnovers, either sloppy passes or running into double teams.

    Most Surprising Commit?

    Don't think it was Pitt. It was Louisville. Primary recruiter was Scooter McCray as I recall.

    Class of 2022 SG Roddy Gayle (NY / Wasatch)

    Don't think Aiken was in that class. The three guards SU was recruiting as I recall were Pearl, Mark Jackson and Kenny Smith.

    Which recruit was paid the most? What program is the dirtiest?

    How do you quantify this? Whose a bigger crook, Lucky Luciano or Pablo Escobar? Corruption in basket ball goes further back than tall bus boys on college BB scholarships working summers at Kutchers fixing games played at night to entertain the guests. (The guests bet big money) As I recall...

    Class of 2019 PF Isaiah Stewart (NY/LaLumiereIN) to Washington

    Thanks for that very interesting anecdotal history. I was following the Rice recruitment at the time but didn't know those details. And, our football Coach was dying to get Rice to come and play DB. Promised him he had a better shot at the NFL than the NBA, as I recall.

    Class of 2019 Josh Zawada (NC / Hill Acad) Flipped to Michigan

    Huh, I thought it was an impermissible benefit, a loan from the Coach to one of the players wife, maybe to buy a car? Or, Something like that.

    Dividing up the minutes.

    I gave you a thumbs up but I think you need to add George Hicker to the list of "Back in the old days". He was better shooter than DD and JL in my opinion. Kohls and Hicker is a toss. Both had thirty foot range with no 3pt line. Kohls had a much quicker release, while Hicker could drop his one...

    Buddy Boeheim

    I agree he may be an option but, I would rather see OB, FH, TB and EH hitting near 40% or better from 3 to reduce the need to depend on BB to play more than spot minutes. Now, BB next year with more experience, physical development and much more PT available, wow.

    St. Rose Thoughts

    After preseason loss to LeMoyne playing M2M, JB said "We'll never play M2M again."
  27. S

    My Take

    TB by necessity but I felt that JB was trying to give Hughes as much time with OB and TB as possible to build chemistry and give EH more time to shake off the rust. Pleasantly surprised with PC and certainly BB, satisfied with the rest except TB ain't no point guard and rebounding wasn't as...

    FBI Hoops Trial starting

    Also, in my opinion defendants cut a deal (regardless of the quality of their potential defense) because they simply don't have the financial resources to pay the hundreds of thousands of dollars in pretrial and trial fees to a team of top tier lawyers, leaving their families destitute. More...

    Class of 2019 PF Akok Akok (CT) to UConn

    Not understanding your thinking. Is it based on insider info? IS has visited, has three former teammates (at least two of whom are good friends and one is actively recruiting him), already at SU, has proximity to family (touted as very significant), had a great visit to SU by his own words, his...

    Class of 2019 G Quincy Guerrier (QB) SIGNED WITH SYRACUSE

    A lot of years ago, as I recall, a Post Standard sports writer ask JB at what point was he confident of a recruits commitment. He answered, "When they show up for their first practice." FWIW.

    Class of 2019 PF Isaiah Stewart (NY/LaLumiereIN) to Washington

    So let's sum up: Seemingly a very hastily arranged "Official" visit to SU after many thought we were out of it, on the heels of a trip to UK with no commitment and reportedly no further interest on IS's part in UK. IS "loved" his "Official"to SU. IS is close to his family who are 1.5 hours away...

    Class of 2019 CG Joe Girard III (NY) SIGNED WITH SYRACUSE

    Yes but, they were scholarship football players. I think the NCAA requires anyone with an athletic scholarship who is on the football roster and participates in any other sport, ie track, wrestling, BB be counted toward the football cap on scholies.

    Class of 2019 CG Joe Girard III (NY) SIGNED WITH SYRACUSE

    There are prospects that let SU coaching staff know early on that they don’t think they are an SU fit and the coaches just move on. It isn’t always that SU doesn’t see the fit, sometimes it is prospect that sees other programs offering an offensive system that better fits their game.
