Boeheim's Army (TBT) 2018

[OrangeXtreme]

 

[IthacaMatt]

Eric Devendorf
Brandon Triche
John Gillon
Scoop Jardine
Dash Riley
Rick Jackson
Donte Greene
CJ Fair
Trevor Cooney
James Southerland
Baye Moussa Keita

Seem like the foundation.
If Mike Gbinije is available maybe.
We could use a big.

IIRC, Rick Jackson was really out of shape last summer, and Donte took a lot of bad shots (shocker, right?).
Christmas would be a great addition, and Arinze, too.

This BA thing is bordering on as much fun and excitement as the Cuse team. With much less downside.

 

[SUFan44]

Most realistic team:

Triche/Devendorf/Gillon/Cooney in backcourt

Joseph/Southerland/Fair as wings

Riley/Keita as centers

Wish list: Rautins, Onuaku, Christmas

Think any of the 3 on the wishlist would make the team elite.

 

[cusefan88]

They need Rak or Onuaku as another big. Would be amazing.

DeShonte was money last year off the bench. Guy dominated inside. Where WERE YOU BACK IN THE DAY, DUDE?

The comeback game, one of the Morris twins talking crap, the Devendorf post game thing...I was as fired up during that stuff as I would be in a regular season game.

It's like eating your favorite dessert and there are half the calories. It's great.

Hak is back

 

[OrangeXtreme]

 

[MSOrange]

$2M tournament to have Big East alumni teams

 

[Flacusian]

Having Hak will make a huge difference. Dash Riley was awesome last year and should provide some solid big for us this year. Must say... this tournament is very engaging and enjoyable and I'm looking forward to this year big time!

LGO!!!

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Do it all Paul

Paul Harris -- interesting.

On paper, I like both this and the addition of Kris Joesph -- need more athleticism [and defense] on the wings.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Paul Harris added to the team. Didn't see that coming. I know he's been around the world playing ball and his style is tough in today's college/professional game, but his physicality seems to actually be a good fit in a pick-up style game like this.

I qualify this by stating up front that I love, love, love Hak.

Two seasons ago, I was very much looking forward to seeing Hak dominate this tournament. I was surprised to see that he appears to have lost some spring in his step [not surprising -- he's in his mid-30s]. He forced a little, and sometimes tried to do too much.

I like Warrick as a role player on this team, but like the fact that we've got younger options like Kris and Southerland. Hak can be a step up from the likes of TRob, but he isn't the same player he used to be.

Again, huge Hak fan -- not trying to be overly critical of him.

Love the paul harris and hal additions. Physicality to wear down the opponent so Triche and Devendorf can find their openings.

Yeah, I'm not a big Harris fan, but I think he'll be good for this team.

 

[NineOneSeven]

The most productive lineup, imo, would be Triche, Devendorf, Joseph, Southerland, and Riley (assuming no AO/Rak).

It is what it is. Its not a knock on a him. I said the same thing two pages up.

Its not 2005 anymore.
