Would be awesome just don’t see the fit/minutes unless Bell or JJ are leaving

Crazy football is year-round now for Syracuse. Well done Fran !!!!

I agree. Usually when things get public and the kids (right or wrong) are trying to get their 15 minutes we usually don't come out on top. Hopefully that changes because Red clearly wanted him as he was Red's #1 target at PG.

I figured going after older more mature players you wouldn't have to put up with this kind of stuff.

Cuffe is a solid bench piece. Really good 5th guard type. Plays hard on defense and hustles on the court. Great kid to have on your bench

I agree for two reasons if we don't have the money to secure a PG and then if we don't make the tournament his seat is going to be extremely hot.

There is a difference from just going in the portal and spending the most money we can to get the "best" players on the portal ranking lists and identifying your top portal targets that you feel will help your team get over the top and getting outbid on those players. We are in the latter and...

I think the biggest question is why? How has football come in and raised all this NIL money? How does Indiana have all this NIL money but we don't? We have one of the biggest fan bases in the nation and constantly lead in attendance why are we lacking in NIL? What are other basketball...

I wonder if it has to do with the football coaches' philosophies about new-age recruiting, social media, creating buzz, and asking for money compared to the basketball philosophies that have been learned from JB who hated that stuff. There seems to be a disconnect someplace within the...

Budget allocation is a completely different argument and one I can get behind.

It depends right? The NIL isn't an unlimited pot of money it is a budget. Say we have a budget of 2.5 million per year and Nova has a budget of 2.0 million per year. We could have used up 2 million of our 2.5 million budget on JJ - Bell - Freeman - Lampkin - Davis - Westry etc and only...

As the NIL expanded there are probably more people that know stuff now than ever before. Not saying the people on twitter know just in general with more hands in the kitchen the more information that will get leaked.

Why can't stuff just be easy for us. Seems like someone is always trying to use us to get something else.

That is almost what I figure anytime someone really good enters the portal now since they leaked how much NIL money they have to spend.

Kentucky and Arkansas are going to be on everyone$ li$t that hit the portal. But if ST Johns is reaching out then we should be reaching out.

Would imagine Arkansas will be calling also if the money stories are true.

Portal Alert change the big board

Correct pull out everything for this kid. Probably a long shot but this is exactly what the team needs.

He never officially entered the portal

Saw that and keep refreshing this site to see who it is lol

I would take a flyer on him if he wants to come as a backup PG but we can't go into the season with him as the starter at the point.

Coach Fran doing Coach Fran things. Shaping up to be our most talented roster ever from top to bottom???

I don't care what the person comes in as long as they are a veteran calming influence on the team, can get us in and out of offensive sets, can break the press, and can knock down a jumper. I don't care if you call the kid a true point guard, a fake point guard, or a combo guard. Doesn't...

Massive get. Coach Fran doing Coach Fran things

Yes please but I would imagine he will just follow his coach.

I don't know this kid so I don't know what his goals are but he might be looking for other things besides just the biggest bag. NBA Dreams? So then what program offers him the best opportunity to show case his skills while winning on both sides of the ball? Education for life after...

I would think if he leaves this weekend and takes those other visits it would be a bad sign.

Which is a little concerning in the first place he had to know his coach was coming here to be on the staff but still felt the need to schedule other visits. Seems everything is lined up for easy recruitment but something is off. Kid wasn't sold on Red or Kid wasn't sold on Syracuse or Kid...

The "one of the bonuses to picking Leffew over Mack is it doesn't block our 25 highly rated PG recruits" comment sort of hints at that. No?

So the plan is next year to have a Freshman starting at PG? I can't believe that is a plan either right? All this talk about Vetern PGs being so valuable and we are not taking a guard with multiple years of eligibility because they will block our 2025 class point guards? Again so next year...

Hmmmm a little head scratcher here but open mind, Red wouldn't hire someone he didn't believe in with his job on the line.

I wonder what the sales pitch would be?? Copeland role? I don't understand the fit on our end to similar to the starter who logs a ton of minutes.

I agree and it sucks for Red but that is a reality. Red knew what he was getting into when he took the job.

Purdue guards play worse defense than our guards and I didn’t think that was possible but I am seeing it with my own eyes.

Hopefully Kentucky gives Hurley a blank check get him away from UConn

This game is over. Purdue needs to hit some 3s and fast

Purdue needs Jones to give them something

Big minutes here with Edey on the bench

Edey looks tired

Fun game so far

Seems he has to decide what he wants. The most money he can get on a lesser team or a good chunk of money and play for a team that won 20 games last year and play with his burger boy buddy

We are back to NO Mack lol

In on Mack, Out on Mack, Back in on Mack, Out on Mack, Back in on Mack ... I can't handle the swings... I think maybe if we are really back in his asking price may have changed to fit in our window.

Freshman year he took 21 FTs and shot 81% Sophmore year he took 143 FTs and shot 83% Freshman year he took 141 FGs and shot 44% Sophmore year he took 376 FGs and shot 44.9% Why the dip in 3 point % his volume went up across the board but only his 3 point % dipped.

I would be interested in having a conversation. His 3-point percentage this year is a little concerning but I wonder why it dropped so much. His other shooting improved from his freshman year to his sophomore year but his three-point shooting went down a ton.

This game is over. Good run by NC State

Cant imagine there are many if any higher ranked 2024 PGs still on the market. If I remember correctly Louisville had a decent 3 star kid from NJ who recently decommitted.

Is it possible to take both? Is Jaquan Carlos getting a lot of attention in the portal? What he come like Davis into a back up role. If we got Davis and added both Carlos and Leffew that might be a solid PG rotation.
