Honestly, probably makes sense given the current landscape

Chris Bell will officially be the last player to wear Orange who played under Jim Boeheim. Red has turned over 95% of the roster since taking over 13 months ago. This is all Red now.

Jeff Lowe in the late 90’s played both LAX and Football (WR). Originally from Liverpool.

Yes….but not at that level. Those roles are fewer and far between. I’m waiting for Cuse181 to apply for those higher level roles ;)

There’s probably around 4,300 D1 scholarship players. Take away 750-1000 as graduating seniors/no longer have eligibility and you get to over 55% of eligible players entered the transfer portal. Yikes.

Hysterical

I’ll remind everyone that Baker Mayfield started out as a preferred walk-on to Texas Tech. Literally has no bearing on our PWO QBs other than pointing out every once in a while one of these guys actually hit.

This literally makes no sense

I also think he’s irked by finding out compensation gaps of $100k can exist within the same title.

Boomer? LMAO. You’re off by a couple of decades.

Need to find a Soph/Junior transfer QB that will be willing to be a backup for a year and have a shot at starting next year. Either that or have strong conviction that Williams will be ready to play as a backup this year as a true frosh.

Fran was fairly even keeled in that interview. My guess is he knows exactly where the weaknesses are with the team and he’s going to be laser focused to fix them by fall.

Just asserting dominance. It’s fun.

You’re way, way out of your element here.

Incorrect

This is technically true. He’s getting players that were never going to settle for going to Rutgers.

LOL. Not remotely an issue.

Talent is not equal therefore compensation is not equal. I don’t hire people to flip burgers. These are very competitive mid 6 figure roles. Equality is an idealistic illusion.

LOL. Not remotely how it works.

I just hired a new person on my team that makes $100k more than another at the same title. It was completely worth it. Now the other person doesn’t know that and likely won’t find out, but I really don’t care even if they did.

That’s funny.

There’s a big difference between acknowledging Coach P’s granddaughter is currently on staff from rehashing a decision on P’s firing 20 years ago. The two people are related but the two topics are not.

Good grief, why do we need to keep rehashing the Coach P decision? It literally happened 20 years ago. This fan base really struggles with getting over the past.

Fran is taking the approach of doing the complete opposite of everything Dino did

Sports aren’t always rainbows and sunshine. If you want to be an athlete at an elite level you need to understand there will always be some form of criticism. It only gets more difficult the higher up you rise as an athlete.

Growth spurts are cool, especially when guards grow to 6’10” in a year

It’s obvious that McLeod is just letting everyone know he just ate 3 oranges. Dude likes Cuties.

Some guys that don’t have the talent to make it to the two deep might realize that all of the hard work required to be on the SU football team under this new staff might not be worth it.

He’ll portal to the NBA next year

Ego can get you places but it usually ends up being a detriment and leads to a downfall. Too many were willing to anoint JB as the Syracuse basketball god. I guess the program gets what it deserves.

Other than a miracle run to the FF in 2016, we’ve been completely irrelevant over the past decade. Like really irrelevant. Program needs a full rebuild. It’s stuck in a rut and can’t seem to figure out how to get out of it. Standard has completely shifted to where fans have accepted mediocrity...

JB held on way too long. He built the program and felt he was entitled to tear it down. It’s a shame. Red has a big job ahead of him. I hope he figures it out. Needs to land two or three more quality players asap or the natives will start getting restless. He doesn’t seem to have the transfer...

Even if not true, why not start the rumor

Does Vandy still have a basketball team??

Highly doubt Boogie wears Orange. But if somehow he ended up here you throw him out there at PG and let him run. That’s a first class problem.

Probably not unless he puts up dismal results (less than 10 wins)

“Most places had him 100-150” is what I wrote. As if there isn’t a post you can refer two pages back. Good god man. It’s like your brain refuses to work on this topic. It’s like you are incapable of saying “my mistake” or “I guess I was misinformed” This is one of the funnier interactions I’ve...

Really hoping that’s not the case. Kid deserves a break. Hope he’s able to make a full recovery and reach his full potential.

If it was 100% AI it would probably be good. This was like 85% AI ;)

Believe it or not, Westry was projected as a PG coming out of HS and JJ was listed as SG. Realistically they’re both probably combo guards. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Westry get some run at PG. He did have issues with turnovers, so he’ll only get run there if he can control the ball and...

I have yet to find any list from a reputable recruiting site that has Cuffe listed in the top 100. You stated he was 78th in Rivals. I literally showed you the Rivals list that had him at 111. You’re either trolling or ignorant. I really don’t care. Also, you still haven’t shown any list he...

You’re dug in. Strange. I guess we live in a world where facts don’t really matter anymore. It’s a weird position to take, but you have the right to take that position.

1. You stated he was “Top 50” 2. All of this stuff is easy to research. He was 111 in Rivals (listed as “new” so he never appeared higher) 3. The headlines you are reading do not appear correct if you cross reference the 2021 recruit rankings. Again he was 111 in Rivals. That’s the source, not a...

Incorrect. You’re confusing his grading with his ranking. He was 111th ranked player by Rivals. He did not appear in the ESPN top 100 player rankings.

Fran Brown is the reason Fran Brown is here.

I think JJ is going to make a significant jump next year without Judah. But he has to improve his outside shot. I also think Westry will get significant run at PG/SG/SF as Red looks to get him on the floor. He’ll replace Q’s duties next year. I’ll be happy when we get a PG (must be able to...

Most savvy fans knew JB was full of BS when stated the 2022 class was the best ever. He was spewing pure propaganda.

Cuffe wasn’t a top 50 player. Wasn’t even top 100. Most places had him 100-150.

While Bell can definitely improve, he’s probably the worst rebounder to ever play at Syracuse. He came to SU with zero rebounding instincts (and that may be an understatement). He still has a long way to go before he’s even net neutral on the rebounding front.

Thank god because we need it
