    UCONN’s offense

    Screens are like blocking in football; could probably be a moving screen / hold call on almost every play.

    Class of 2020 F Jyare Davis (DE) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (4/15/24)

    Haven't thought about that in awhile, but man, I would have loved to have seen that game! And I hope Jyare Davis is a key contributor to the next great 'Cuse team :)

    Class of 2020 F Jyare Davis (DE) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (4/15/24)

    It's hard for me to think like that anymore. Pre-portal/free transfer era, we'd have an idea of what the team will look like in two years and be able to forecast a bit, but now, I am looking at what the 2024 roster is looking like and can't see anyone other than, hopefully, Moore, definitively...

    Class of 2026 G Jordan Smith Jr. (VA) Offered

    I wonder if our new Asst. coach has connections here to supplement Red/Straughn? The DMV is always loaded. If the game plan is to try to get a lot of our team from the region, I'm all for it. The "Hyatts" portion of my username is short for "Hyattsville". I literally lived next door to...

    OT: hypothetical question that I heard on a podcast

    Zero. I’m thinking of UConn’s strategy. Let Edey get his and shut out everyone else. Even if Luka/Giannis/etc put up 60-65, I can’t see a 16 seed + 1 NBA superstar winning 6 games in a row.

    Hurley to UK

    Cal entered UK under similar circumstances; underperforming team, won a Natty, was king for awhile, then slowly wore out his welcome with BBN. I said before, IMHO, the allure of a 3peat and actually achieving it would make any coach God-like regardless of the school it’s accomplished at. I...

    Hurley to UK

    I don’t think he’s going anywhere. Luke Murray and Kimani Young are also quoted as saying they’ll be back. An opportunity at a 3peat has got to be tempting. If they were able to swoop in and get a Liam McNeeley to commit plus a portal big, they’d be right back at the top next year.

    NCAA National Championship: Mon April 8

    Sheesh, was going to type that foul trouble might make this game interesting and then UConn scores 5 quick points.

    NCAA National Championship: Mon April 8

    Can we start a collective to poach Luke Murray if he’s the architect of this offense? UConn is so fun to watch.

    Class of 2028 DL Chase Foster (GA) Offered

    Obviously, I have no doubts that Coach Fran, ERob, and Williams know what they’re doing. That being said, I’m curious what their message is to kids this far out knowing, at least, Robinson is highly unlikely to be here in ‘28.

    Proposed rule changes to NIL and portal to enhance player retention

    Your solutions tie NIL to school performance/attendance. My understanding is NIL doesn’t have anything to do with the school. We all know that’s a load of bull, but I don’t think you’ll find a working solution if there’s a direct connnection between money paid for NIL and attendance/performance...

    Happy Anniversary!

    Thank you. I was today years old to see this!

    NCAA Selection Show Thread...

    Am I the only one to think that was an obvious illegal pick they had to call? It was the most blatant kind. The UCONN girl clearly leaned and threw out a chicken wing elbow realizing she was out of position and the Iowa girl had already beat her screen attempt, but got knocked off balance with...

    Way-Too-Early Top 25 for 24-25 Season

    Our entire "young team/group" left except for JJ. LOL. It did have a nice, happy, nostalgic effect on me though seeing a #10 next to Syracuse again. Hopefully, DeCourcy's fantasyland becomes reality someday.

    2024 - Portal Tracker

    Sheesh, I feel like this kid has to be the early favorite for who's going to be next year's Dalton Knecht. Shoots almost 50% from 3 and looks to have decent athleticism. Lot of dunks and drives to the hoop in his highlight video.

    But still absolutely dominating. NW dude is shoulder checking him constantly. First time seeing this kid. He’s a beast.

    Random plays that stick with you

    Not random and not regular season, but anytime Syracuse and National Championships come up, the whole sequence of Triche/Coleman missed FTs and Smart’s jump shot going in flashes through my mind. Sucks, but my therapist says I’m making progress!

    Slightly OT: compression sleeves and leggings

    No idea about the fashion aspect but, functionally, they work amazing. Compression leggings: I run long distance for fun. Knees, shins, calves feel so much better during and after when I wear compression leggings under my pants Elbow sleeve. At the ripe age of 40, I finally got my elbow...

    So Who Is The First Portaler?

    IMHO as a random person on this message board, Q has not been “trashed”. This is actually a huge pet peeve of mine. “Trashed” or, another favorite of mine, “ripped” are so overused in the media. I see those terms and I think of one person just going off on another person. It’s almost never the...

    OT: New Jersey HS screwed by officials in state Playoff game

    Personally, if Syracuse benefitted from this exact situation where it was blatantly obvious that a shot should have counted for the other team, I could not celebrate, buy any championship gear, etc. I'd feel like a schmuck celebrating or wearing a championship T-shirt knowing that my team...

    Latest mock draft: Cuse 0, Yukon 4

    Interesting enough, Adam Silver had some things to say about the future of the Ignite. More talent might be coming back to college basketball. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/39548967/adam-silver-nba-reassess-g-league-ignite-wake-nil

    Chance Westry Transferring to Syracuse

    This is what I hope for the kid. Hopeful, his recovery is more "Joel Embiid-like" and he fulfills his potential versus the unfortunate paths of our own Sidibe and, from the looks of it, Hima where the injuries never fully heal. Trust the process!

    Who do you tend to fear most?

    I'll vote for this then. Never met CuseFaninVT or his wife, but Dasher's info is always solid! Don't really "fear" UVA, but being owned by that team probably annoys me the most.
  28. HyattsCuse

    Chris Bell..

    Was going to post similar. Bell's development could be "old school" where a kid stays for 3-4 years and turns into a very good to great player as an upper classman. Hopefully, he stays and continues his upward trajectory we've seen the last few games.

    Class of 2024 K Liam Padron (FL) Committed to TAMU

    For sure. Frankly, just scrolling through this thread for the first time, I was surprised to see only a PWO offer from Cuse after seeing he made the Army AA game.

    Judah and his 20 free throws

    Watching Judah reminds me of watching Dwayne Wade back when he and Shaq won a championship together. Obviously, the Heat won which is good, but I didn’t really enjoy watching Wade get free throws almost every time down the court (it seemed like it anyway). Similarly, I’m glad he got all those...

    My wife yelled at me for screaming at the TV

    My kids came running into the room when I let out a huge “YES!”. Been several years since I’ve done that watching a Cuse game!

    JJ Starling

    I've caught portions of a few games this year. The first exhibition when Judah didn't play, Red put the ball in Starling's hands and he ran the team. Granted it was an exhibition game but I thought he played decent in that role. Has there been any extended runs during the real games this...

    OT - Going to Need a New Clyde’s….

    It's a little bit of a walk or a short metro ride, but I used to love going to the Crystal City Sports Pub for the first weekend of the NCAA tournament. I watched every game of our 2003 run (except the final game) there.

    How many targets to Hatcher? Did he throw to any other WR this game?

    Wow is right. The Self Help Tour - Book your visit from Kaleb Joseph. Seems to be focused on athletes, but his message in that video should be heard by all kids and their parents.

    OT - Caleb White ( HS PG in AL)

    Here in PA, at least at the middle school level, they have a whole concussion requirement just to try out for ANY sport. Athletes must complete the following two concussion items in order to participate in a sport or attend a tryout: Please understand that there are 2 different requirements...

    What is your Mount Rushmore for Syracuse sports moments you've experienced?

    These are the Top 4 that come to mind that I experienced in person. 1. Sherman's final game versus G'town. The reverse jam at the end is still cemented in my brain. 2. Following year, G'town game. The JT Technical's, Billy O makes two free throws, so awesome. 3. GMac's game winner at G'town...

    I owe Hubert Davis a big apology

    What also impressed me was how overtly involved his assistant coaches are. Hubert was huddling up with them constantly even while the game was going on. He obviously values their input. I’m not saying other head coaches don’t utilize their assistant coaches, it just seems like Hubert does it...

    Cole Swider returning ???

    Yeah, I think Cole's a shoo-in for an overseas spot somewhere. The question is if the Cole we saw at the end of the year against UNC and FSU shows up for a whole season, a 2nd round NBA pick could be possible. The way NBA teams are going for "Big 3s" these days doesn't leave a lot of cap room...

    2022 PG Judah Mintz (DC / Oak Hill) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE

    So we’ve re-recruited Benny as a package deal with Judah. After last year, I wonder if any guarantees were made (minimum number of minutes played per game?) to seal the deal.

    Class of 2020 C Quincy Ballard (NY) Transferring from FSU to Wichita St

    Not surprised. I don't know anything about him, but he had 3 other 7 footers in front of him at FSU so figured he would look for an opportunity elsewhere.

    Chandler Jones signs with Raiders

    NFL has always been a copycat league. I feel like there are a lot of teams that are now following the Rams blue print of spending and dealing picks. On paper, the whole AFC West looks ridiculous.
