Time to start facing some hard truths

Great thread to read today!

yeah, I mean I probably was guilty of a knee-jerk reaction at the time - but you can't honestly say things were not looking rather bleak that day Tyus committed to Mich

 

[HOFCeluck]

Things were bad short term coupled with huge long term question marks (basketball post Boeheim). How is it unreasonable to have been worried back in May?

I think I'm mainly just amused by the fact that this was bumped by a guy trying to say "I told you so!" despite the fact that he wanted to physically fight an insider who thought all along that Battle would wind up at Syracuse.

It was the latest in a series of nut punches to the program.

Unless you were expecting him to decommit, which is pretty rare in basketball compared to football.

Woah woah woah, really? I almost fell out of my chair laughing.

When I come to Syracuse this October, I must go to Applebees and find this guy and have a beer with him.

We aren't suppose to make knee jerk reactions yet what were you doing calling out the board insiders? Tyus Battle and his family didn't owe Syracuse University, coaches, or its fans a decision right away. Yet you kept harping on the fact he hadn't committed right away.

Want to know the definition of a knee jerk reaction?

I posted that we should keep an eye on Chukwu's transfer options about three weeks before he visited SU.

Your reaction was genius..something like "why should we listen to you, you said we were getting Battle."

It's really the gift that keeps on giving.
