    Q-

    He’s a show all by himself. He’s really entertaining, His vision is excellent and he’s very unselfish and enjoys assists as much as baskets. A couple of interesting things from him tonight. I’m not sure if they showed it but helped a Va Tech player up from the floor during live action behind...

    Anyone else exhausted?!?!

    I can’t keep up. It’s chaos. Just when I think I’m caught up…..boom. Four more offers, portal guys…more threads... I feel like the entire state of New Jersey is coming to Syracuse this weekend….most via College Station… And there really isn’t an end in sight. Are we sure there aren’t two...

    Oregon game?

    So…Jesse Edwards…and others like him…

    I wonder if schools are going to start putting non-compete clauses or something similar into agreements. If HS kids wanna sign with colleges as professionals, colleges might start treating them like professionals. Players like Jesse….that literally had no other options…might find themselves...

    Mark Packer is blistering the B1G and SEC…

    NIT question…

    I have no idea what the criteria is these days. Someone said 20 wins? Just curious how 16-16 Florida got a bid?
  10. Jake

    What I expect at this point…

    JB announces RETIREMENT before the portal opens. (This is the only thing I really feel solid about). Red is quickly named successor. (Trending in this direction) The rest is purely my speculation. Red tries to retain as many players as possible and quickly hits the portal with a “not an...

    Funny feeling…

    Up 9 under 4:00…”does this team know how to milk a lead?”

    When Coach gets introduced today…

    I will be standing and clapping. If it is his last game, I don’t want to miss this moment. No matter how you feel about him today, respect what he has done for Syracuse Basketball and all the great memories. I really hope there is a loud and long ovation for him today….just in case.

    One thing was abundantly clear last night…

    It was really evident in person, not sure if it came through on the broadcast, was the (brief) lift in energy when the team went man. Pretty sure the players want to play M2M. The comments from players post game were frustration from playing the zone. I don’t want the inmates running the...
  14. Jake

    Credit to Mike Waters…

    He asked the exact m2m question that needed to be asked and framed it with the premise that JB said and played m2m early. The answer was what you’d expect.

    Judah….

    Continues to show improvement making decisions. Thought he was super solid tonight. He’s really calmed down. Also think JB has done a nice job subbing him out when he appears to show some frustration. Hope he comes back next year…he’ll start getting calls he’s not getting this year. I’m not...

    So, Did is miss the thread about this year's cali award winners??

    I have no idea if anyone won anything. ??

    BC post game

    Have at it
  18. Jake

    Hop brought back for next year at UW….

    Unless something changes drastically. 49 points tonight at home vs UCLA. That’s two bad losses in a row at home. His teams consistently struggle to score. I don’t see how they bring him back next year.

    Bowls want to start paying players…instead of conferences…

    It was only a matter of time before these bowl executives fought back against these opt outs that will cost them eyeballs and attendees. This will get reallllllllllly interesting.

    Hey Dasher….

    I owe you coffee. Starting to see things in Benny I didn’t think was gonna happen. Game appears to be slowing down for him.
  21. Jake

    JBA

    He needs his own thread. That’s all. You don’t want 5 of him on your team, but you need 1. Love this kid. His high low passes are a lost art. Double the post from the corner defense was also super. At some point in the second half. Jessie had the ball in the post and JBA sprinted across...
  22. Jake

    So who was Dino alluding to today…

    In his comments that we might get back a player or two from injury. Maybe. Gonna guess WR Jones and ?? It ain’t Elmore, Williams or Lockett for sure. Pretty sure it isn’t Stefan. Jacquez maybe…

    An observation about Tucker last night..,

    Early in the game he tried to bounce a play outside the WR seal block and really ran the receiver into a holding penalty. He’s done that A LOT this year. I think Anae chewed him out about that. The rest of the night he cut inside that same block and got chunk yardage. He has tried to hit too...

    Stop using the same number for multiple players….

    It’s just an added layer on complications when you have a situation where you want Wax and Peña both on the punt return team. Peña fair caught the punt inside the 5 because his mind was not in the game situation because he had to scramble to get his #98 jersey. It’s also why Jackson was deep...

    The new landscape in college basketball

    So, here is the new reality. Kids who are marginal NBA draft picks but great college players are getting paid big bucks to stay in school. If you are one of those guys, you can get guaranteed seven figure income by staying in school these days. It’s itabsolutely insane.

    If you have the ability…go to Clemson this week.

    You will not be disappointed. Great atmosphere. Hospitable fans. Too bad it’s nooner. Went to our night game there in 15(?). Was amazing.

    So this is pretty cool

    4 false starts and essentially a forced fumble…

    But we don’t act like we only hold 50,000 fans and rarely pack the place. Do I have that right? They never learn.

    The crowd, the injuries, and Darton…

    The crowd was spectacular. Probably 45ish actuals, but they did not take a play off. It was loud all the time. Probably helped stop at least 2 drives and literally caused a fumble. Just well done. Really concerned about the injuries piling up. We finished the game with 4 guys on defense who...

    I’ll take it…but that was painful…

    Lots not to like tonight, but I felt really confident on that final drive. Virginia showed no ability all game long to do damage in the air. My biggest concern was making the FG. I thought UVA needed 4 minutes to get into FG range. But I was still losing my sheet watching us snap the ball...

    6 to Zero…

    Takeaways to turnovers. That helps a ton. Add in a blocked kick. Correct me if I’m wrong, but we haven’t been stopped on downs either. Therefore we’ve only given our opponents the ball after a kickoff or a punt…except for one missed FG. That’s maximizing field position. Helps the defense a...

    Sunday morning coffee thoughts….

    Give Purdue credit, they beat us up front on both sides of the ball. Could Definitely see them winning their side of the big. Thought Shrader played marginally. Missed Gadsen on the goal line and a wide open wheel route to Tucker. Needs to be more consistently good rather than occasionally...

    Ode to #87 on Purdue…

    Thank you for running your fat mouth. How’d that taste?

    Watched a lot of ACC games the past 72 hours…

    Who looked better than us?
  35. Jake

    Special teams…

    Much improved, but there still plenty of room for improvement. FGs/xtra points- looked solid. Andre’s kicks were solid and the rhythm of the unit was sooo much better. One high snap. For those of you complaining about Barron being the holder, he did a great job getting that high snap down...

    Recruiting rankings perspective….

    In 2019, both Rivals and 2-4-7 had Ga Tech’s class of 22 kids ranked ahead of ours. (Rivals substantially higher). Ga Tech has exactly 0 starters from that class. Ours includes Mikel Jones, Garrett Williams. Matthew Bergeron, Steve Linton, and Courtney Jackson. Just sayin…

    I can’t be the only one….

    Fighting the urge to unfollow our new football beat reporter on Twitter, right? Not my cup of tea. I might have to subscribe to Bailey’s site.

    So I’m watch ACCDN….

    And it’s like Cuse day. Theyre running extended careerhighlight packages featuring Buddy, Elijah and Dolezaj. The Dolezaj highlight reel is so enjoyable to watch…what an f’n passer.

    Well this has become clear…

    Guys that are getting marginal feedback from the NBA combine are getting *cough* *cough* NIL deals to return to school.

    Local radio host Bob Lonsberry said Juli may have had her phone stolen at gun point today by some teenagers in the parking lot. Holy crap!

    New CDC guidance….

    Jesse needs his own thread…

    So fun to watch him play. He played a perfect first half. Made the right decision every time he touched the ball. It was a clinic. I assume foreign players wont have the bad habit of bringing the bal low - so I’m not surprised at that, but his footwork and court awareness are like a guy who’s...

    Three wishes….

  44. Jake

    The question is going to be asked at some point…

    About this season, the make up of the team, everyone coming back next year and if it’s time. The questions will not be posed to JB, but the post standard will ask Wildhack post season. They are not going to subject Mike or Donna to the wrath of JB at a presser. Back when they were a real...

    Buddy….

    Teams are throwing size him and are getting really physical. It’s harder for him to back down bigger kids and they are getting in his shot sight better. Teams have figured out that you can’t effectively defend him with a guard all game long. They’ve also finally figured out you have to...
  46. Jake

    We’ve got to make shots…

    Expecting this team to rebound is lunacy. The bigger issue is Buddy and Cole missing shots and Joe giving away 2-3 possessions without being presssured. Every offensive possession with this team hs to be productive.
  47. Jake

    Not all Joe’s turnovers are on him…

    Yes he is turning the ball over at a very high rate, but it’s important to realize that much like in football, if the receiver doesn’t create much separation, every pass becomes much harder. There were a couple last night where he literally had no where to go with the ball. Lack of Team...
  48. Jake

    A lot to unpack from this game…

    I loved the tweek in the zone….a quasi 1-3-1. I actually hate that defense, but putting Buddy in the middle mitigates his lack of foot speed, but also takes away the easy post entry. Hated the decision to foul up 3. Normally, I think that is the correct strategy. But without Jesse and this...
  49. Jake

    Three consecutive games….

    That the opponent has set a season high for made 3s. We gave up 15 tonight. Good god.
  50. Jake

    Most important possession of the game..

    Down 6 with the ball we got a JB3 spinarama that got packed. Got to get the ball to Buddy in that possession. Have to have to have to.
