Agree, but isn't it crazy where we've come, that we're pretty much talking about cap space for a collegiate roster!?

Agree. I am not super excited about another combo at point, but I think we're definitely moving in the right direction. Judah who has a ton of individual talent, did not make this years team better.

That’s a very tough decision. I would def loop Silent G into that conversation too! He was crucial to a ton of big wins!

Can't wait to see what the title of these threads turn into next week? Or do we just roll back into the previous weeks thread???!!!!

Hopefully he's leaving. Although very individually talented(with some glaring holes of course), I think this team has reached it's max potential with Judah as the lead guard.

Same! Next year, I'm completely abandoning rational thought when I make my selections!!! I'm just going to poll my wife and daughter(who other than telling me to stop yelling at the TV during games), have no connection/knowledge of SU Hoops!!!

At this point, I'm fine with whoever leaves outside of Brown, Bell, JJ, and Westry. Add Freeman and Moore and as others have said...a big and a true PG are a must! Along with those, this team needs a leader(captain). Q was the closest one they had, and if the rumors of him leaving are true...

As long as someone can spellcheck Syracuse, should they win!

He absolutely is...I did notice that before the tip, Q not even a starter, was the one calling a team huddle before tipoff.

This makes me think about the good ole, Fran Fraschilla "he's a year away from being a year away at this point" comment! Anyway...I totally agree!

Like others, leaning towards a smaller conference school(Ivy league), but also, I feel like based on the last bunch of years, Gonzaga is probably up there.

Agree, just to watch Bell shoot, but... Just make sure you look away with less than a minute left! Judah lost his mind!!!!!

This also has me torn as well. Judah definitely should be our best player, and it shouldn't even be close, but unfortunately, I would also like to see what the "team" could potentially be without him. Whenever I watch him play, his individual talent obviously jumps out, but as a team, I don't...

Agree. This team is performing as good as it can, with the serious shooting and rebounding(which actually has gotten a bit better, but still not good) flaws well documented. Overall, we do need an offensive identity, outside of relying on individual talent. There are moments here and there...

Judah JJ Maliq

JJ Benny Bell

I actually agree with this a whole lot. He's got a bunch of flaws in his game(rebounding in particular), but he's the only person on this roster, that I would really trust to make a three. And by no means do I think he's a great shooter, but on this team he's the best we have(by a long shot)...

Don't mind the talking at all...Devo was one of my favorite Cuse players, and when he started jawing you knew he was about to go off! Judah though, plays best when he just lets the game come to him, and takes what the defense is giving him. When he goes hero ball, it isn't his best. He's...

I think it's very likely, and whether he's really "ready" or not, Moore is going to have to play. His best skill set, is exactly what our current roster is lacking.

Brown Bell Q

I mean at one point in the beginning of the game, he actually said Judah is a smooth and pure jump shooter, but then followed that up later in the game, saying his mechanics need a ton of work! He obviously did not do his research and was just BS-ing like a high school kid faking his class...

Maliq and then Westry(he didn't make any bad plays...ha!;))

Agree. Very disappointing result, but among all the awfulness that there have been at times this year, I am happy to see some progress on this team. I like the trajectory this program is on, and I actually have hope for the future. Prior to this season, I definitely did not. I'm actually...

The amount of time he spends reaching, I figured that number would be much higher. Believe it or not, you can foul people other ways than simply reaching in. I was strictly talking about the times where the offensive player is just holding the ball and he swipes it out of their hands. 9 or...

Yeah, his ability to poke the ball away and not foul is amazing...but when he swipes at a 37 year old Bacot, the officials aren't going to allow that!

Yes, small sample size, but like others have said. This team is limited by the lack of consistent inside scoring, and lack of consistent outside shooting. For the first time in a few years though, we are stacked with plenty of athletes. There is progress! Biggest thing I noticed, was the...

JJ Judah Q

Getting some Hurley vibes from the Montverde coach…..standing on the court yelling and pointing while the game is going on! His team is really good, and much better than IMG….he needs to chillax already! Donnie playing well. Has some CJ fair in his game….lots of mid range jumpers!

"Gather steps" are the step children of Lebron's "crab dribble"!

I'm completely nit picking, as he was really good last night. When he doesn't think he needs to do everything himself, he is an even better player. He's started to move the ball more and more as the season goes on. I've liked the improvement!

Mintz Bell Brown

Very pleased with the turn around the second half. Still can't rebound at all!! The shooting is going to be inconsistent all year. When they're shooting well, they're athletic enough to hang with good teams. If not, things are going to get ugly. Judah was really impressive...but one thing...

He is exactly what this years team is missing!

Another hot take...Jesse would be great to have, and the rebounding is a huge concern, but this team needs a JG3 on it! At least one consistent shooter to keep the defense honest. At this point, teams are just going to pack in the defense and make Judah and JJ drive into crowds and hoist up...

This team lacking consistent shooters will be its downfall.

An upbeat presser with a coach complimenting his players...such a breath of fresh air!

This is spot on. No matter where he goes, he's going to be compared to his dad(who you could argue, had one of the greatest college seasons of all time), no matter where he goes. I feel like that will only increase with him being at the same school. With all that said, he's a heck of a...

1) ACC RECORD. 12-8 2) OUT OF CONFERENCE RECORD. 9-2 3) ACC TOURNAMENT RECORD. 2-1 4) NCAA TOURNAMENT. 1-1 5) LEADING SCORER. Mintz 17.7 6) LEADING REBOUNDER: McLeod 7.3 7) WHO WILL MAKE THE MOST THREES THIS YEAR AND HOW MANY. Bell 60 8) TIEBREAKER: WHO WILL AVERAGE THE SECOND MOST MINUTES...

Reminds me of Bruce Bowen when he played. Shot almost 40% from 3 for his career, but only about 58% FT. Solid defender though!

Guess those fake classes don't transfer all that well? Shocking!

He should be thinking about that second contract. That's the one that can set him up for the long haul. He needs to go where he's got the best chance to prepare for that. Selfishly, I hope he feels that will happen with Cuse, but history has proven that is not the popular decision.

That Hip Hop scene coming in big again!

In that case. I triple dog dare him to stay committed!!!

Would've been an amazing 6th man on past teams(when we were actually competitive)!

I just love how it's relevant data to once be a Kentucky signee.

Top 5 movie of all time!

Money was probably the decision maker between UCLA and Kansas. Definitely not the reason he isn't coming here. I think that was the point trying to be made there.
