    Ty Jerome / Hunter / Guy / Diakite

    hahaha. this is one of my favorite posts of all time.

    Ty Jerome / Hunter / Guy / Diakite

    Carl Krauser is probably still hooping at some school being 55 pretending to be 21.

    Yeah, sounds like UVA and Wisc are the landing spots.

    Ty Jerome / Hunter / Guy / Diakite

    Looks like UVA might land two senior transfers from MU which means they MAY have a 1-yr down swing before jumping right back up.

    Ty Jerome / Hunter / Guy / Diakite

    Agreed. Everyone knows he can shoot and is smart as hell, so all another season does is put his limited athleticism as the main negative talking point and add another year to his age.

    Thoughts on the tourney, UVA and Cuse

    I don't dislike Virginia. What I don't like is that questionable (and massively wrong) calls were made in huge spots closing out MULTIPLE games during their run. Games they would have likely lost had those calls been made. I didn't even think twice about the "Guy tripped on his own teammate down...

    I think Heyward is a MUCH better athlete, but yeah, similar games.

    Ty Jerome / Hunter / Guy / Diakite

    Excellent college basketball player. He'll hang around the pros because he can shoot. I can't see him defending at the next level. The idea that he's better than Hunter, however... UVA lost Hunter and then lost to a 16 seed. With Jerome. That still matters. And Hunter will guard 1-4 in the...

    Seth Davis top 25 next year

    JB said the team will be "interesting" and you know what that means: top 10 FF run baby.

    Jerome, Guy and Hunter

    I likened him to the Aaron Craft of offense: always hooks, elbows, pushes off, or flings his body into traffic. He's a good player, but he's one of those "I don't like you unless you are on my team" and I think the NBA-level praise he's getting is crazy. As with most overrated players, its the...

    Jerome, Guy and Hunter

    And he does all this in a system that doesn't take advantage of all his tools. Hunter is, to me, a possible Kawhi Jr. Now, I saw Jerome compared to Klay last night all over Twitter and THAT is pure lunacy.

    Jerome, Guy and Hunter

    I hope Jerome goes in the mid first just so I can see him get torched by NBA guards (the dude will not be able to defend at the next level no matter how much he works on his skills) and not get a 2nd contract. I've never grown to loathe a player more in a single tournament than him. It must be...

    Auburn got screwed

    I have a problem with the call in the sense that UVA has defended that way all year, as well as physical pressure at the top of the key with guards, and are never penalized for it. Essentially, I'm 100% sure that if the shoe was on the other foot, that would've not been called. The Jerome missed...

    Look at all the small guards in the final four

    Who needs height if you can dribble, shoot, drive, and make good decisions?

    Uva

    Edwards with one of the best games I've ever seen ended up overshadowed by my sudden and vast dislike of Jerome. He's like the offensive version of Aaron Craft.

    Oshae Staying in the 2019 NBA Draft

    I'm pretty interested to see Braswell get some run with the 10-15 lbs I expect him to add this offseason (though, I thought the same for Marek...)

    Tyus Battle’s farewell letter to Syracuse fans: I am ready because of you

    I think Tyus will wind up fairly underrated in the grand scheme of SU history, but he's definitely one of my all time favorites. The load he shouldered, both in production and minutes, is a pretty rare thing and he provided some great, great moments.

    Battle Gone ... per Zags

    Reading this and reliving all of this in my mind as if it happened yesterday, I have two thoughts. The first is: HOLY CRAP FLYNN WAS A BEAST and we were lucky to get his two years. The second is: this is why Tyus coming back was simply a bonus for us fans given how limited their time to play...

    Battle Gone ... per Zags

    Which means we saw it last year. My hope is his % changes even out, he becomes a bit more efficient, and we have a solid 15/8 guy for another year.

    Why isn't Duke better?

    Poor phrasing on my part. I didn't mean to say Barrett specifically is mediocre (I think he's a beast). I meant the overall roster after Zion is much more pedestrian than I assumed it would be at the start of the season.
  24. C

    Why isn't Duke better?

    Their team is wholly mediocre, top to bottom, after Zion. They aren't making the FF unless someone gets hot from three for a few games. Edit: mediocre for Duke. They are likely a Sweet 16 team without Zion, all in all.

    Frank’s trip

    I think Frank's response sums it up: you think he honestly put 4 years in to be the senior leader PG of a potentially dangerous tourny team only to get suspended by trying to injure THE generational player? Frank isn't a heady player, but he's very obviously not a dumb (or bad) person.

    JB's Presser after Duke

    Which was the 4th or 5th time Zion did that: celebrating while back pedaling his 400 lb frame into SU players. Frank wasn't trying to take him out, he was moving out of the way. Also, for the "Zion just has fun and doesn't show boat" crowd. I hope they were paying attention last night.

    Why isn't Duke better?

    It's becoming more and more clear to me that as K has become THE recruiter in college hoops (with the help of staff), I find it harder and harder to point out where he's actually developing a team throughout the year. Last night, the only adjustment he made was waiting for the short SU rotation...

    No Jalen Carey threads?

    Without looking it up, my hunch is that years we do true international trips wind up being strong seasons.

    No Jalen Carey threads?

    I know it's gotta be super tough for a blue chip to sit most of a year, and sure, SU basketball may not be held in the same regard as it was 10 years ago (debatable), but I can't imagine the incentive to leave when you have the starting PG role in your hands at a still elite, Nike-darling...

    No Jalen Carey threads?

    I know that Buddy's first second half stanza gets a ton of the credit for last night's win, but Carey's minutes was like a full coke rail for this team heading in to halftime. They energy was vastly different literally the second he came in, and it carried over. Juxtapose that to Frank looking...

    Next year. Just need a big

    This list may be wrong, but he had offers from: UVA, VT, Memphis, Butler, and BC, among a few others. Truth is, we've had a non P5 PG for 3 years running in terms of both skill and IQ. Give me the same player with a high IQ and this offense is likely way better by default. HW is mentally better...

    Next year. Just need a big

    If I had to place bets on who would challenge for some sort of postseason recognition: Hughes assuming some sort of improvement with his handle/conditioning/drive and Guerrier as an ACC-ready frosh with a pretty polished offensive toolkit. MD might ultimately be the best all around player, but...

    Next year. Just need a big

    Amen to all of this. Exactly my thought, as well. I think the entire position has a lot of raw talent, but my hope is Howard is in great shape and the most game-ready. I'd like to see him have the legitimate shot to LOSE the job (which would be a great problem to have). I was excited about his...

    Not seeing any minutes for Wash? Think he'll transfer?

    Next year. Just need a big

    The big hole over the last couple of season, IMO, is steady, consistent floor general play (aside from any sort of offensive contribution from the 5). For this reason, I want to see Howard Washington log a ton of minutes at PG. We don't need flash if we have steady and efficient. We've had none...

    Duke also got like a 500-5 FT advantage in a home game they won by 1.

    But also less athletic, not as deep, and no interior presence to speak of.

    To be fair, in the NBA, Hunter fouls out of the game in the first 12 minutes.

    The flip side was, if he doesn't score, it'll be a double digit loss.
