yea actually I would, and there are most definitely not 200 better 3s in the portal then him.

Lotta odd concern over Bell returning as a starter in my opinion. He’s clearly the 2nd most important player to get back as I see it. He has an Elite skill (3 point shooting), is sneaky athletic also, and most importantly a lot of the deficiencies he had this past season can be improved with...

The x100000000

We weren’t thaaaaaat far off this year with the least talented team in 25+ years. 2025 it is LGO!

If Q gives us what he gave us this year next year then the team is no good again. Pretty wild that people seem to forget we always used to have a couple at a minimum fringe NBA guys on every team. There are literally 0 on this roster. There is 1 player (Brown) who would be worthy of meaningful...

As opposed to living in a fantasy world? If both teams were good the game wouldn’t be at 11:30… truth hurts sometimes.

Because they both stink and no one wants to watch.

I mean the worst part is if you take a mediocre, but not great Syracuse team, say 07-08. No one on this team is worth even having on those teams, much less a good Syracuse team. It’s honestly pathetic the lack of talent. I was as big of a cuse fan as anyone for many years but I can’t even do it...

Well its a couple of things... you wanted a 9 man rotation so you need Forwards that can steal minutes at C, which makes Grant and Hak much more valuable than him (esp when you consider Wes and Melo are light years better) and secondly he probably gets dinged a little because he stat stuffed on...

I mean, I agree that Gerry is better than Tyus... but he also had Devo and Nichols on that team who would have probably been the best player on this years team.

You probably couldn't even get him on a team of 15, let alone 9. Hes probably like the 8th best guard at syracuse since 2000 (9 if you count 2000 guys so Hart is in there) G - Flynn, Dion, Andy, Gerry F - Wes, Melo, Warrick, Grant C - Rak

right, because he was SO MUCH BETTER on defense when he was given the chance...

lol, you have got to be kidding with this post.

It was mentioned earlier, but use the ESPN Player app, they charge 20 a month, but it comes with a free 7 day trial as a new user. I live in Germany and that is what I use.

Anyone who defends the offense by saying "we have no shooters/scorers this year" must not have watched the last 5ish years when we did have scorers and still ran terrible offense.

I mean its the same offense we have run since ennis was here... High screen with someone who literally can not score so that they can double off of that person and on to the guard, rinse and repeat until the guard either chucks a 3 or occasionally gets a lane for a difficult 2.

nailed it.

well considering they have never been that good on kenpom im gonna have to go with, no "we" dont.

Anyone who thinks they are overrated is clueless, and probably have not even watched them play. There is a reason that before the loss they were the 2nd best team on kenpom since he has done it.

I am going to see cooney play monday in berlin if anyone wants me to attach a formal appology to mine for every time i ever complained about him.

They should be held to the same academic standards. I am studying in a different country and despite my course work being exclusively in english I am still forced to learn their language in order to qualify for the program. Sometimes life is just not fair.

I'd say the zone is to blame, but not for the reasons people think. Many of our players get drafted high not because they're polished players, but because of their NBA calibre bodies and athleticism. It's the same reason we lose so many players to the draft before they really show us what they...

Yea I think it's kinda absurd to hate on him for leaving, it's his life he if wants to make mistakes then whatever let him learn from them. It's just comical that we are at a point where kids who can't play meaningful minutes in college can believe that they are ready for pro ball. FWIW I live...

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Syracuse has never made the final 4 as a 1 seed... I guess we should never be allowed to have a 1 seed. Seriously this thread is stupid.

Easy classes where there is 0 interaction with a professor and your institution acknowledges they are to keep athletes eligible are.

Yea, in live poker they are pretty typical. I have played primarily online since 2008 or so, structures are better so no reason to chop.

I rarely chop, however in this spot it was really really stupid not to.

Because they cut the list down from the preseason list, which he wasn't on for obvious reasons...

I didn't call him a piece of trash, I was simply stating that he's very subpar RIGHT NOW. If you would have actually read my entire post I said that I like his upside and that I think he will be a good player here eventually. Of course I want the kid to succeed, I always root for that of our...

still think its rubbish?

No and when I pointed out that he's been horrific last week obv I was told it was rubbish

Yea i am probably over exaggerating slightly to make my point, but with how we run our offense our bigs scoring is happening very often independently of the pg. Just look at last game for example, a large portion of our offense was kaleb dump it in to Rak, everyone clear out and Rak goes one on...

Seems like a typical response around here, you say its rubbish but do nothing to refute it. A pgs job is to make the players around him better... for every instance where he has done that i can give you mistakes he made that just aren't even remotely acceptable. I still have faith in him, hes...

I think people are just trying to find reasons to give Kaleb a pass. I have said in the other threads that I do believe he will improve and be a solid player at cuse, but he is downright dreadful right now. He virtually never sets up his teammates in a position for them to be successful, and...

also, i understand he is a freshman, but Kaleb doesn't even look like a point guard. In all seriousness can anyone remember a single time in 5 games that you were like "man kaleb got (instert random player) the ball exactly where he needs to get it." Like i totally understand that we have...

someone please explain to me how force feeding rak every possession helps this team improve at all, esp in a 20 point game.

not to mention they benched their starters at the end of the 1st half and are still running them out of the gym... they are a very very good basketball team this year. 2 legit low post players and they are surrounded by elite 3 point shooters.

I don't believe that is correct, if he had played last year he would be a junior this year eligibility wise. The redshirt year just gave him a 4th year for development purposes, otherwise he would have been done at the end of next year.

To be fair, Carleton ran them outta the gym by 32 in one of the games... You don't beat a d1 school like Memphis even if they are down by that much unless u are good

Everyone is missing the obvious flaw here. Teams qualify for champions league based on what they did the year before, and unlike college basketball, the teams remain relatively similar from year to year. Especially in the smaller conferences... like imagine if murray state qualifies after they...

I love how the people making the arguement that Donte made a horrible decision are completely discounting the fact that he can use his contacts made from being in the NBA to get a, you know, job after he is done playing

okafor was a 3rd year player but had graduated already

Seriously though the people on this forum need to get over it. Who cares if Grant is ready for the NBA or not, its his life not yours. Even if he fizzles out, between the NBA money he will get and the money he would make playing overseas he will still make significantly more money than like 99%...

um, well, you must not have read what I wrote because my post has nothing to do with whether porter was more ready than grant

JB did not say he was the best small forward in the history of the big east, without looking up the exact quote he said that he was possibly the most well rounded small forward in big east history, because he was solid at everything, not because he was great in one area. That is a huge...

Otto porter was very far from a can't miss nba player.

I'm really getting sick of people laying out reasons he should come back because none of them are valid. He is literally never going to be drafted ahead of where he is projected now. Every improvement he needs to make in his game can be done after he leaves for the nba (remember he will no...

Love that it took 25 posts for someone to point out any defense let's team hang around if they are making shots lol

He just wants views... It's his job.
