Good news or bad??

[orange79]

why are we playing games here? if it's SO secretive why mention it at all?

Either you know something or you don't.

Attention getters...

Nothing secretive. They said they know something.

It can be nerve wracking, but it builds anticipation and one of the HUGE draws of this board, is the insiders here. If they were at liberty to say, they would. Basically, this is a heads up that something is coming. Let the speculation begin and build. Honestly, usually the actual news is a letdown compared to the sensational possibilities that we all come up with, but have fun with it.

A) I'm just trying to provide a corroborating opinion
B) I have no idea what I'm talking about - never do.

It has nothing to do with attention. I haven't read this thread but it has to do with not potentially effecting a recruiting situation. Some of us care more about SU and the program to jeopardize an opportunity. It's the opposite of trying to gain attention.

You can tell the difference between those who are members of the pay side and those who aren't...

Those who are just sit back and wait or post they know (because the pay side already knows)...those who aren't members beg for more information and cryptic posts drive them crazy!

Josh Pace, Hakim Warrick, Billy Edelin, Craig Forth, Kristof Ongeneat, Brandon Triche, Arinze Onuaku...

Edelin couldnt have been a 3 star, could he? He got a ton of hype and seemed like our biggest recruit in years.

Pace and Triche were guys whose stocks dropped due to injuries.

Blink once for TT, twice for Bibby, thrice for both, four times for Quade, and don't blink at all if it's all of the above...

You forgot the name that starts with H
ends with amidou

So long as good news is on the way, what's the hassle? The answers always come. I'm thankful we get a preview!

Theres been quite a few actually. Some like Triche were cause of injury. It's my belief Bibby is underrated.

James Southerland, Kris Joseph also were good ones.

Posters get so worked up about someone giving them a heads up because its not specific enough, I don't get it. The message is Something good is going to happen, even if you aren't privy to the specific info that's still good.

No way to prove it, but I bet guys like Southerland and Joseph would be four stars today, as the Syracuse affiliation carries more weight than it did in 2008. (Shows how little stock I put in those star rankings.)

My man, jordoo! I'm fairly certain we are connected in this life, the last or the next.

Interesting, I wonder. Southerland had an elite skill and athleticism, but severely lacked ball handling. I could see him as a possible 4-star. But, with that 4-star rating, he would have come in with more hype and maybe he would have been thought of in a completely different manner.

 

[MSOrange]

oh boy Jake chimed in.

 

[Jake]

Southerland had such a sweet release I always thought he was very underrated Coming out of HS. His athleticism surprised me.

Prepping hurt him in the ratings.

 

[Orangeman13]

well I hope you're right because nobody cares MORE about Syracuse than me...maybe equal but not more.

 

[FrancoPizza]

How good are we talking? I don't need details, just feelings.

Our guys are not always right, because things change at the last minute. But they do not pass along anything that isn't true at the time, and would not lead us on without reason. Have faith.

You mean like is it Christmas morning or Easter morning?

Just to play Devil's advocate, the original tweet did not state if the news was positive or negative. That could lead to speculation that it might be negative. On the other hand, I'll take Jake's interpretation that it's positive!

Any chance the news is Ron Patterson returning as a grad transfer to take Mali's minutes?

Hearing its Mookie maybe.

Well, now that the cat is out of the bag. That is what I have been hearing too. They had to wait until next week, because the league finals are next Tuesday in his bowling league and if he doesn't play out the season, he has to give back the shirt.

It's time for another good news, bad news.

Good news: Recruiting guys who only make shots.

Bad news: Recruiting guys who only drink shots.
