Guess you didn't notice Joe those times when he scored 31 pts to win that game.

Yes, he did. Would like to get an authoritative clarification as to any injury/health issues he may have. I'm not seeing them, and only hearing of them from fans--who are just not privy to the facts.

It's very difficult to measure how much an opposing team is focusing on stopping Tucker, and how much that focus is actually benefiting the SU offense. Tucker has not had a monster game yet (good games, but not great games), yet SU's O has been outstanding in the first two tilts, with Schader...

What would one expect from Joe Giglio (NewsObserver, Raleigh NC) but to rate SU as a "middle-of-the-road" also-rans? That he even mentions the word "Syracuse" in this 2020 forcast is a total turnaround for this ultimate homer of a ACC BB beat reporter. If a school is not Duke, UNC or NCSU, it...

It's 16.75-inch difference. It will bring down trey shooting efficiency throughout CBB. One school of thought says that defenses will pack thing in more (allowing more shots from the longer distance). The other school of thought says it will open the floor up as defensive players will want to...

"Syracuse will also be returning Elijah Hughes who averaged 13.7 points-per-game and started all 34 games. He is a terrific perimeter threat as he averaged nearly 7 three-pointers a game last year. " Really?

I second everything said here about Braswell. I hope he shocks everyone with how much he can contribute, both defensively and offensively. I also have seen some posts here that predict he will be doing a lot of riding the pine behind Guerrier, Marek, Sidibe and Edwards. I disagree with those...

Other sources/recruiting sites have Edwards weighing in at 215 lbs, not 205.

If it wasn't for Zion's freakish athleticism/physicality, people would be talking in those terms about White. Fastest PG I've seen in a long time. I think he's gonna be a good NBA'er. Glad he's gone. UNC, in losing White, Maye, Little, Williams and Johnson, has a lot to make up.

College football rankings: Way-too-early top 25 sees Clemson entering 2019 season at No. 1

Blue Devils get on the board in 2019, 5-star Wendell Moore commits to Duke - ACCSports.com

He's staying to finish all of his fake classes so he can graduate as valedictorian.

He meant "Even beyond being a good player,..."

Why is no one on these threads about next year's squad including Howard Washington in the mix? Did I miss something? Did he transfer? Is no one expecting his knee to heal? Wassup?

If Battle goes, anyone is free to disagree with that decision. That's what these forums are all about. People's two cents. But anyone criticizing Battle as a player or person, is a lower life form than pond scum. Just sayin'...

Taking advantage of the opportunity that the NBA offers. I think he saw just how ahead of other MickeyD'ers he was yesterday. I think he saw how equally as good as Bagely he was, but also how disappointed Bagley was without gaining an NCAA BB championship. I think he thought, "I'm 17, the League...

While I am fairly certain Battle will leave, I also am fairly certain that he isn't ready. Most assessments say he doesn't have the outside shot nor the ability to create his shot in the NBA, and I agree. But as has happened waaay too many times before with Cuse underclassmen, he will most...

Alas, no such "feeling" here has been detected. Too much yet for this team to show/prove. I didn't start to get the "feeling" in 2003 until we went into East Lansing and beat Izzo. Then it took Billy Edelin vs. Okl State, and then Melo scoring all 18 of his points in the second half vs. Auburn...

U R all getting way ahead of yourselves, IMHO. SU stills has questions to answer, the biggest being: How will it respond to its first real adversity experienced on the court? Is the senior leadership as good as it's been in the last 3 years?

UNC won't leave the ACC as long as it exists with NCSU, Duke, and to lesser extentWake, in it. History and politics say NEVER. The facts are that UNC is a state-supported institution, that sooo many NC state legislators (and their constituents) are UNC (and NCSU and Duke) alums, and that many of...

Here's the coverage from NC's biggest paper.

It's done: See here

Going back further, Red Bruin, Tony Scott.

Not about Kevin Ollie as coach, but about him as co-coach. Read this piece. I've been an informal student of how organizations respond to leadership, especially new leadership. At the current time, I am approaching my own retirement after 38 years in higher ed (25 with the same program), and...

Yes, every article re: JC (short of may some originating out of Stoors) are pro/con in nature. This one is a prime example.

Here's the coverage from Tobacco Road Country. Also here.

If you want to call that "fluff," go ahead. To me, it has meaning---enough meaning to give the guy a fifth year as opposed to Tristan's "fire him now" call at the start of Year 4.

GROB never had an 8-5, bowl-winning season, nor did he ever show the promise of having one...and he wasn't an SU alum, wasn't a former SU FB player, wasn't someone whose dream job was at SU, nor a was he a coach who re-established recruiting ties to NYC/LI and NJ. I could go on...

Spent 56 years born, raised, educated, employed in NYS, 38 of them Upstate. I don't think moving to NC in 2006 mellowed me any..... Wouldn't you agree that the program Marrone took over was, like VT, "nothing" if not awful? Grobe went 11-3, 9-4, 8-5 after those first 5 seasons. Wouldn't...

Said it before. Willing to give Coach 5 years. Why? Have noted these examples before too: -Bill Snyder @ KSU: first 4 seasons - 1-10, 5-6, 7-4, 5-6 -Frank Beamer @ VT: first 6 seasons - 2-9, 3-8, 6-4, 6-5, 5-6, 2-8 -Jim Grobe @ Wake: first 5 seasons: 6-5, 6-6, 5-7, 4-7, 4-7 These 3 coaches just...

6-6 W - SB, Minny, Rutgers, Temple, UConn, NW L- Pitt, USC, USF, Cinc, L'Ville, Mizzou,

I think DC2 is 6'8" and considered a 5 because of his width/bulk. Often listed at 6'9"...

Stupid. Gross. Shock value of graphic sexual content jumped the shark long ago. Not just for the Roseanne Roast, but for all of them.

Some comparisons (heard on ESPN) had Chandler Jones and Jason Pierre-Paul in the same sentence.

I'm betting they go 6-6 this season, do no worse than 4-8 over the 3-4 years after that, and start producing .500 or better records again starting by 2017-18. As with the whole Sandusky affair, it's a football culture thing with PSU. Their fans and in-state recruits will bring things back...

I believe the total cost of the Carrier Dome back in 1979-80 was $24M.

Thanks. An upbeat positive read. Amen, bro...

That makes 6 current players gone (including an A-A running back candidate), two 2013 decommits, plus six more 2013 committs seriously exploring other schools. The loss of Redd and his 5 defecting teammates would prompt me to think that they'll start to suffer badly, W-L-wise, this coming season...

I'd say: Bill Snyder @ KSU: first 4 seasons - 1-10, 5-6, 7-4, 5-6 Frank Beamer @ VT: first 6 seasons - 2-9, 3-8, 6-4, 6-5, 5-6, 2-8 Jim Grobe @ Wake: first 5 seasons: 6-5, 6-6, 5-7, 4-7, 4-7

I recall Brown being pretty specific that he didn't like the way Franco ran out of bounds too often to avoid getting hit. FWIW, and while I'm sure Yaz is the correct answer and he was a very good BB player, he dominated at Bridgehamton HS in a very week HS league. I recall Manhassett being in...

The media seems to be pumping the notion that PSU will lose precious few of their current players to transfer. But it pretty quiet on how many 2012 recruits or 2013 verbals/prospects PSU may have lost or are likely to lose. Anyone know of a website that is tracking transfers/defections from...

Let me add another great example here. Guy dumps on NCAA sanctions, and in a woulda-coulda-shoulda tome, says a 1-year DP would have been better. Really? What a tool....

...beyond what happened to the kids abused by Sandusky (and, indirectly, by the parties abetting the cover-up), is the two-faced media. So many in the media had, for years, been criticizing the NCAA for being toothless in confronting the big-time college sports culture, for taking forever to...

I want it to happen, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Apparently, my post responding to Igor's was taken down. I'll ask: why can Igor call JB "old and lazy" w/o penalty, while my describing how I feel when Igor posts such biased drivel is erased?

Yes, it would hurt local business a tad, but much less than a DP. IMO, PSU needs to be viewed by local merchants as "having done a bad thing," and that, in the future, PSU better not do it again because it can hurt business. It might also help to send the message to merchants that they...

My view? Points 2, 3 and 4 would be those I was trying to address in my post. Leaving Point 1 for the courts. I'm just seeing only talk of "DP or no DP" in the media right now. There are many sanction options, some severe, some not so, that could be taken. That's why I posted what I did.

My idea of sanctions, short of a death penalty, if the NCAA decides it can and should levy sanctions. A DP would hurt local businesses uninvolved in the scandal way too much. Whereas: - the penalties to the university and its FB program should be substantial enough to get the entire PSU...
