2010: we had 3 starters that were like 22-23 years old.
2003: We had Carmelo(and Edelin and GMac!) coming in, and Deshaun was gone. I felt great.
1996: We had a senior John Wallace, who we already knew was really good.
I was actually quite confident in all of those years.
I think the unexpected 25-9 2nd round of the tourney success of the 2001 team, or the 21-10 2nd round 1992 teams where a previously decent player like Shumpert or Dave Johnson suddenly makes a huge leap in a starring role is the more likely "best case scenario" type of season for next year. We're Syracuse, we don't recruits scrubs. The cupboard is not bare. But it's hard to see us being real strong by our standards next year.
hindsight is 20/20. no one thought we were going to be a top 10 team in 03 or 10. nobody.
you are lying if you claim otherwise. Hell we weren't even ranked until FEBRUARY in 2003! And we were never in the top 10!
