We will be Bc bad next year, I can't wait.
So will that 0-36 conference stretch kick in next year? LOL.

Cue Syracuse's Kemba seaso
I actually feel bad for Battle, the pressure on him next year is going to be enormous.
I seriously question JB right now. He with a straight face is saying we have a good roster and is pointing to 2002 and 2003.According to JB we have a blueprint for a great team.
Thank you. Fair post, although I don't completely agree.See my post in the other thread and respond to that.
EDIT - I brought it here for you.
With the team we might have next year, its not too far fetched.
We had a miserable year this year and went 10-8 in the ACC. But it's "not too far fetched" that we might not win a game for the next two years.
Awesome analysis.
Our season, until we land someone else, hinges on the junior year of Franklin Howard.

This is crazy.
We don't have guards. We have 3 guards on scholarship right now. 3 total.
Fair enough. Ball is a once in a generation PG talent, imo. So that's an unfair comparison.Ever hear John Wallace speak about playing with Z Sims?
Take everything he said and make it the opposite and you'd get the PG play that Lydon had. Lydon is not a creator. That's not in his skillset.
Or for a current team, look at UCLA and how Ball gets that ball to the right guys at the right times, in rhythm. His pace and style give that team so much confidence. Lydon didn't play with a real PG in either of his college seasons, or even with any players, let
alone guards that were strong passers.
Boeheim just compared Frank to Scoop so there's that. I guess he's back for sure.
Blueprint for 66/game average
Tyus Battle 20
Taurean Thompson 14
Frank Howard 8
Moyer 8
Sidibe/Washington/Brissett 6
Random Grad Transfer 3 PT shooter 10
Who are the grad transfer Cooney mold 3PT shooters who can also handle the ball?
Fair enough. Ball is a once in a generation PG talent, imo. So that's an unfair comparison.
And I don't think lack of a quality point guard (Gillon wasn't all that terrible, btw) excuses Lydon's hesitancy and lack of urgency throughout the season.
You sound like a petulant child. How about you offer something aside from insults?
I have to think that we are going to be more active that anyone can believe to fill up this roster. As it is right now, we will suck. At this time last year, we didn't have white or Gillon.Roster right now
PG- Frank Howard, Howard Washington
SG- Tyus Battle
SF- Matt Moyer, O'Shae Brissett
PF- Taureen Thompson, Bourama Sidibe
C- Paschal Chukwu
That is 8 scholarships. JB has 3 scholarships to use and that is after Lydon leaving.
Look at the roster. What are the odds JB can bring in 3 usable bodies for next year?
I see two scoring options right now in JB's easy to defend offense.
He might know things we don't know.I seriously question JB right now. He with a straight face is saying we have a good roster and is pointing to 2002 and 2003.

I cannot believe we'll go into next season trying out the Frank Howard at PG experiment again.I was saying this last week:
Next Year's PG - Hope for Howard
