    Quadir Copeland in the portal

    I hate college basketball. Completely ruined. Everyone is a professional on a one year contract. No continuity. Every kid just leaves when the going gets tough. Recruiting not worth following cause relationships are irrelevant and it’s just about the bag. In a tough year for any program...

    Effort, Toughness and Discipline

    If you look up my post history I'm one of the more positive people in this forum. I love our team, coaches and being a part of this community. And i usually avoid this place for a couple weeks after the season ends. Mostly cause i hate reading everyone ripping on college students who often...

    Imagine we had Winfred for 4 years. His senior year would have been the Etan Thomas/Jason Hart freshman year. Doubt we would have gotten all of them, but a frontcourt of Ryan Blackwell, Damon Brown, Preston Shumpert AND Winfred Walton would have been crazy.

    We were #3. That bag prevented him from going to Ohio State. Pair the brow with Jared Sullinger in the same front court... and Fab or no Fab, we would have gotten buried. That team with Davis would have been unstoppable. The real "what if" to that season is... What if we gave the ball to...

    Hunter Dickinson

    If we really let Jesse walk over 400k (no clue if this is true) in what world are we landing Hunter (who’s better and more prominent name) ? We need to focus on someone we can afford.

    Class of 2022 G Elijah Fisher (Canada) Offered

    Story has nothing to do with JB and very unlikely to change under Red. CIABounce (Orangeville Prep) and Grassroots are rivals. And no school has relationship with both. The grassroots program has a relationship with 3-5 schools and we aren’t one of them. I do think Red might unlock more CIA...

    Not sure he’s the right makeup for what we need. Would also pass. Good player though.

    He’s taking an extra parking space. Lol.

    are there any JB defenders left?

    I am still a JB defender. I’m finally at a place that if he chose to retire I’d be fine with it. But if he chose to continue id be fine with that too. What can I say… I have a lyrical soul.
  12. Toronto Cuse

    Maybe Weitsman is the guy that needs convincing, and not Wildhack?

    Think we all need to get comfortable with fact that Red will be our next HC when Boeheim retires. I am excited to see how he does recruiting from the big seat. Amd no doubt AW will continue to support if it stays in the fam (which it will). Zero chance he tries to run his friend out.

    Class of 2024 CG Boogie Fland (NY) Offered

    What planet are you all on. We aren’t negotiating NIL deals for kids to go to St.Johns or Seton Hall and commute to do charity work. You realize this is professional sports now right? He’s paying them to play for Syracuse.

    Class of 2023 PG Elliot Cadeau (NJ / Link) Offered

    sutomcat we def have a shot here. We have been putting in the time. Not ahead nor behind. Right where we need to be at this stage. Like him a lot as a player. Reminds me of Tyler Ennis in that he gets to his spots with his brain and not his legs.

    “I don’t care about the record…” - Jim Boeheim

    This thread is absurd. Obviously none of you have children. Coach was talking about his kids on Senior day and expressed what a joy it’s been to coach them. You are taking his comment way too literally. He was emphasizing point of how special the memories of coaching his kids will be for him...

    Ok , Benny Williams

    Happy for the kid. Him playing well tonight is a nice moment in a season that has had less than usual. Hope we get 2-3 more flashes before the end of the year and that he can carry that momentum into the off-season.

    How it ends: Going out on a whimper

    Let’s not say until 2014 and after 2017 to conveniently leave out the final four. What if we evaluated 2016-2022? Are you expecting an upgrade from that? Do we all prefer the Tyler Ennis year in 2014 to the final four year in 2016? I’m just trying to understand. We’d all prefer to be...

    How it ends: Going out on a whimper

    Guess I’m the only one who wants him to stay ‍♂️. He’s my coach. And more importantly I don’t think there is any chance in the world we land an upgrade. Grass isn’t often greener.

    When will you stop consistently watching?

    I will never stop watching. The memories I’ve made with my dad and brother attending games (Six in the city, GMac at the buzzer all week, bourbon street, Houston, Atlanta, Wes vs. UNC, the list goes on). I can only hope to pay it forward to my son. You gotta have a lyrical soul. Some years...

    Since I work for Bally’s I can answer this. We are a land based casino and hotel operator at our core but we also offer digital sports betting, iGaming and daily fantasy products. Since you are asking about our tv distribution…. We run 18 RSN’s (formerly fox sports). To watch on Bally Sports...

    What is your breaking point?

    My breaking point is when the basketball program no longer exists. Until that point... me, my brother, my dad, my son, my nephews, and friends will continue to watch, cheer, cook meals, and hope like hell we win. That’s called loyalty. I hope you all end up with wives, kids, co-workers, and...

    Already the best rebounder in the program

    Want to introduce the newest member of SyracuseFan. Theodore was born November 9th at 6 pounds, 15 ounces. He had a +2 wingspan. He’s looking forward to debating whether or not we should play zone or man for the next 75 years.

    We love you JB, but it’s time

    totally fair. I don’t think the program is stale but I can see how the argument can be made. MOST top 100 players think they are one and done (or two at most). So as long as they know coach is staying two more, don’t think JB’s age is affecting our recruiting as much as people perceive. I...

    We love you JB, but it’s time

    Dash... I respect you and your right to have an opinion. You have been a loyal fan and supporter and if in your heart of hearts you feel it’s time to move on, you have every right to feel that way and express it. I just don’t agree that coach can’t turn this thing around. And I don’t agree...

    We love you JB, but it’s time

    I’ll ride with JB until the day he no longer wants to be here. I owe the relationships I have with my father, brother and friends to this program (that he built). Would rather lose with Boeheim than win with someone else. Is this year hard? Not really tbh. What other team do you follow...

    Girard

    Joe Girard is going to be the point guard of this team for the next 4 years. Might as well get behind him and root like hell for him to keep developing. It totally makes sense that part of his learning curve is going to be learning how to play effectively against bigger, athletic, tough...

    Musings

    We have a high character, high IQ, unselfish team who can really shoot it and pass it. Should be easy to cheer for this group. Biggest question is who can beat their man off the dribble and create shots for our shooters and how good of a job can we do keeping the ball out on the perimeter...

    Weitsman to Open Basketball Academy

    Findlay Prep in Las Vegas is run by UNLV booster Cifff Findlay. That has worked out pretty unreal for UNLV recruiting. There are quite a few more similar examples around the country.

    Class of 2019 PG/SG Addison Patterson (CN/BellaVistaAZ) to Oregon

    In all fairness to Mike Mennenga he has spent more time in Toronto in his career than every other assistant coach in the country combined. He is from the Buffalo area (90 minute drive) and has recruited low major, mid major, and now high major players from the same 5 canadian AAU programs for...

    I'm gonna say it... you know you've thought it

    “If you don’t like the road you’re walking, pave another one”. Find a new team. Watching Cuse basketball (win/lose/draw) is exactly where I want to be. Gotta have a lyrical soul to be all in on a sports team for multiple decades. Going to be peaks and valleys. Never as good as it seems or...

    Next Coach When Boeheim Retires

    4 years away from starting a search at minimum. The landscape of who’s hot and who’s not is likely to change multiple times between now and then. I for one hope Gerry has a big few years on the trail and earns the job. Can we be less realistic as a group when naming potential targets...
