[syrBossHogg]

Already can’t wait til next season lol

 

[FreakTalksAboutSU]

OK, I will eat my humble pie. Internal was a solid hiring decision.

LFG Red! Huge get.

I have no doubt Red is going to upgrade the talent level. What he does with it will be the challenge.

Great Friggin Start!

AS FLAVOR FLAVE WOULD SAY

YEAHHHHHH BOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

 

[JarHeadJim]

Amazing news. So the story behind the story is Boeheim was holding us back for these types of recruits/portal guys?

I'm trying to decipher how in less than a week we're suddenly cooking again with 5 stars. I guess his "last few days were better than the past 47" was something...

It’s much easier to recruit when you put in the work . Boeheim being a closer exclusively didn’t help lol

He didn’t recruit. That’s not a joke when I say that. He talked to Taylor on a few occasions and talked to Judah when he needed to. But I’ve always said the kids want to be recruited by the head coach and you can see already how much it matters. Him and Judah in backcourt. Oh boy

 

[Cusefan69]

Great start. More to do. I look forward to Syracuse and Red being the future landing spot for 5 and 4 stars looking to portal back NE. There is a really nice lane for that moving forward. Good stuff Red!

Great freaking start!

We confirmed Judah is back? I know he had that part 1 post but is Red confident hes on the sideline next year?

 

[GoSU96]

Very cool.

 

[cliftonparksufan]

I was just going to post the same gif. JJ is dynamite. Congrats Red.

 

[Cstate]

Love the athleticism…..but before we get too excited can we acknowledge the need for a lot of off-season shooting practice, especially if he is going to play the 2 guard! When other players absolutely torched our zone defense this season, JJ went 3-9 (1-6 from 3) for 7 points AND 3-10 (0-3 from 3) for 6 points in the two games against us.

More of a 2 IMO but can play the point in a pinch. But if Judah leaves and he gets the summer to dedicate to switching to point I think he'd make the transition pretty easily.

Unfortunately if Judah leaves it isn’t a net gain.

 

[Jasoncuse]

We didn’t even have to wait until Wed/Thurs like Slater eluded to

Maybe that's when Judah announces his plan to return and pair with jj

 

[RF2044]

Have to wonder what this means for JGIII.

Starling isn't coming here to sit.

 

[MDCuse]

Man, this is awesome!! Red getting to work in just 4 days is a huge positive.

Starling isn't coming here to sit.

I'd have to think JGIII is leaving.

Great Friggin Start!

I feel if we don't win it wont be because we have a lack of talent which is the first step. If Mintz comes back our backcourt can play with any backcourt in the nation.
