Competition in practice should be much better.

So anyone hear anything about Leffew? Take Cuff stuff to main board please. Reading two pages about the fifth guard in the a different players recruiting thread is too much.

Jason at Kentucky sets up the perfect replacement if Red isn’t successful. I want Red to be successful and believe he will be.

I will say it again chemistry completely disintegrated after he got hurt. Glad to have guys like him on the team. As far as not going to the NIT it shows exactly what the problem with this team was. I am 43 and will still sub in a men’s league anywhere anytime looking for a game. Real hoopers...

The good thing is this staff won’t pray they’ll go recruit.

He and Red are very close too.

Don’t sleep on Peña. I heard directly from a coach’s mouth that they LOVE him. Just have to keep him on the field.

Dakota is following Syracuse people, don’t see too many Nova people.

Hope it works.

That’s a sore subject. Tyus and family were told he would be handling the ball almost like a point. They weren’t too happy with how he was used initially.

Just posted.

We were talking about offensive systems. You always move the goal post when having a discussion. I said Carolina struggled a little. Cadeau didn’t need to be guarded and it cost UNC a potential championship.

Cal sucks. He didn’t adapt quick enough to the portal and older players. Nothing to do with system. Watch UConn or UNC and see it work. Carolina struggled a little with Cadeau, when they won it was with a combo guard in Love. What would you suggest instead?

Haha. Hopefully our Jordan Poole types are all gone.

I don’t think there is any mystery to the system. Want a center who can run pick and rolls while being the finisher and passer off the short roll. Forwards should be lengthy and able to shoot 3s. Guards should both be “combo” guards who can lead the break and both attack off the bounce. Expect...

There are plenty of good point guards available right now. It is important to remember that some players might enter the portal at the last moment due to NIL commitments. Syracuse isn’t cooked yet.

Really? Etan and Fab Melo might disagree.

It was Chris Thomas. Two of Billy’s best games were against him.

Never mind. Just saw his top 4.

I still want BJ Freeman. Use Freeman, Chance, and JJ along with Lampkin as playmakers. Donnie Freeman, Bell, and Davis as finishers.

I love this pickup for a number of reasons. He is a 22 year old who has produced at a lower level. Davis is willing to come here without a guarantee of starting. Doesn’t sound like it will cost a ton to get him. He is coming here looking to prove something. The role he is being asked to fill is...

Villanova visit is taking place now.

I watched a few Delaware games. Davis is not a great defender. Got beat back door a few times. Definitely a good enough athlete to be a good defender. He is a very good rebounder. Big and strong enough to play the 5 for a few minutes if needed.

He’s not just a shooting guard. Stop with that. He payed point most of last season and is a willing passer.

We will see if Mack is a program savior but I tend to doubt it. I sure wouldn’t spend all my money on an Ivy League point guard.

Are transfers similar to a second wedding? You can do the whole big announcement and ceremony but it seems a little tacky.

Shumpert works in the district and is the JV coach. He would be the logical replacement.

Give Dasher credit here. He was the first to say that the staff was really targeting Leffew. Leffew was definitely in the small circle of guards they wanted. The staff got one of their guys, we will all see how it works out. Watching Bones Hyland last night reminded skinny guys can ball too.

They were caught off guard with Jesse last year. Didn’t expect him to get that much and they were still navigating international aspect. That’s not the case now. Georgetown is looking to become competitive and is sitting on money. I am sure there are other schools doing the same. IMO this is a...

So here is my final thought on Mack. Syracuse stayed in it and has shown they can be in a position to compete monetarily. I don’t think they have unlimited funds and Mack began to cost more than he is actually worth. Dickinson was the best player in the portal and Kansas did nothing. Basketball...

I think we have a real player in Marcellus Barnes.

I truly believe this has changed since my original post.

100%. If McLeod is healthy he will play 8-12 minutes most games. He is perfect for that role. Can make an impact. Guys on the team really like him. In my opinion it’s no coincidence that chemistry seemed to get worse when Naheem was hurt.

As a backup McLeod is a valuable piece. I think this could be a good frontcourt.

Someone Syracuse native Rick Brunson is close with the Wagner's. Someone tell him to hook Red up.

My wife had mono as an adult and still suffers symptoms years later. Can be a very serious illness

This would be huge. All of the sudden last week there seemed to be a change in who they think they can afford. Red has been asking for more money.

https://www.hudl.com/profile/19358831/braylon-otis This is another freshman from Liverpool who played varsity and has a great frame. Going to end up probably 6’5 215-225 by end of high school.

Freeman would start over Leffew.

BJ Freeman is a nice big point.

Plays basketball with my son. Very coordinated for someone this size and age. Has great hands. Not afraid of physical play. Super nice people. There are a few kids in Liverpools freshman class that have serious potential on the football field.

Knecht?

Kadary Richmond and Eddie Lampkin just started following each other.

Mack is not in SU’s budget according to people who might know. So forget about him and anyone else who will be close to a million.

It will be interesting to see if they take two portal 3/4 what the quality of the second would be. I wouldn’t mind a D2 5th year guy who wants a year of ACC ball with little expectations for playing time.

Yeah starting to think this will be our point guard. Go get Leitao as the new assistant and get Tyler Jackson for 2025 point guard.

That was good basketball. Very entertaining.

https://gosycamores.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/coaches/matthew-graves/1003 There is no connection but this is a guy who would be a great assistant. Much of Indian State concepts offensively come from him. Interesting résumé’

If you can get this guy to be the third forward it’s a huge win. Minutes are available and he has a different game than the other two forwards.

Some players want to be paid like a pro and treated like a kid.
