    Marek will NOT play in Italy (and other observations from Rothstein)

    I'm not sure about the current recruits, but I hear Jerami Grant is up to 8'6.

    SU vs Carleton (Exhibition): Tues Oct 29

    And yep, I believe this year the Cuse-UVa series is home and away. I think it's home and away the following year as well, and then just a home game in 3 years.

    SU vs Carleton (Exhibition): Tues Oct 29

    I was glad to see this. Carleton is no gimme - about as tough a exhibition game as you'd want. Good scheduling - one easier exhibition game, one tougher.

    Iowa?

    No, Jersey Mike's would be like Notre Dame or Ohio State. Rutgers is like a three day old tuna sandwich from a gas station. That was first accidentally dropped on the bathroom floor.

    159 days until Syracuse/UVa...

    It'll be close. I think we'll both be right around 5th in the ACC. Here's the big question in my mind - would you rather have a proven, solid 3 star back-up guard like Clark starting at the point, or have 2 unproven 4 star recruits fighting it out for minutes at the point like Carey and Goodine?

    Boeheim’s Army Roster

    So we're set in the backcourt with triche, Devo and gillon. All 3 should see serious minutes. We're set at center and power forward with mookie, mccullough, and warrick splitting time between those 2 spots. Seems like we can really use a small forward who can drill the 3. What do you guys...

    159 days until Syracuse/UVa...

    That all sounds reasonable. Just earlier today I said uva was at least a top 15 team. Gun to my head, I'd say they're top 10-12.

    159 days until Syracuse/UVa...

    My quick take on our depth chart for players with best chance for pt: PG: 4* Jalen Carey; 4* Brycen Goodine SG: Buddy Boeheim; top NY state HS scoring champ all-time Joe Girard SF: Eli Hughes F: Quincy Guerrier; Robert Braswell (2 time SC state high jump champion - 6'9 3 point shooter but a...

    159 days until Syracuse/UVa...

    Like Brissett before him, Guerrier was the national player of the year in Canada. Similar in some respects to Brissett - but I expect Guerrier to be a better long range shooter but not as good on the boards. Plus, anytime you're talking about a true freshman, you never know how much time it'll...

    Ty Jerome / Hunter / Guy / Diakite

    Yep, exactly. Bennett got a little lucky - the first two times he saw Jerome play, he was actually there to watch someone else. After the first time he saw Jerome play, Bennett said he was impressed, but then forgot about him. The second time Bennett saw him again a year later, it was also by...

    One returning player improvement on next year‘s roster

    I would rank it in this order - 1. Sidibe (if healthy obviously) crazy upside, just look at those handful of games where he could actually, god forbid, jump. Pitt, I'm looking at you! 2. Oshae - i think 1 of these 2 will get most improved player in acc. Once he either improves 3 pt efficiency...

    Buddy Boeheim Redshirt?

    At this point nothing would surprise me. We know boeheim isn't going to play more than 8 once his rotation gets set (if that). And it seems frank, tyus, jalen are the backcourt, ob, marek and hughes the forwards, plus the 2 centers. So it'll probably just come down to whether it looks like...

    10 healthy scholarship players

    Exactly. Our depth gives us so many options. Assuming frank, battle, brisset, dol, and chukwu start, carey will get real pt spelling both guards, and hughes will get real pt spelling battle and brisset and dolejaz, with either brisset or dolejaz playing PF on offense when hughes is in at...

    Class of 2018 SF/PF Robert Braswell (SC) SIGNED WITH SYRACUSE

    What can we expect from Robert Braswell next year? I'm pretty excited about this pick up! Sounds like we might have found a real under the radar gem in this kid. But I don't know too much about him, other than he played in Germany where he developed guard skills and he didn't really play on the...

    What program mirrors ours most

    Arizona and Louisville both great calls. An interesting comparison might be to UVa - both are best known for its distinctive and highly effective defensive system run by its elite coach. The first thing people think of when they think of UVA is tony bennett and his pack line defense - a system...

    Down 2 with 5 secs left in the game...

    I'd want the ball in gillons hands with robey down low, white and lydon out on the wings, and a center setting a high screen for gillon to play off of, read the defense accordingly. look first for an easy bucket for robey down low, then for either white or lydon if then can get an open look, or...

    South Carolina clobbered Michigan today, 61-46

    Michigan in the bits I've seen of them have looked really good. if south carolina can even just stay with michigan and keep it close, then we'll know sc is legit and we'll have to bring our A game to beat them. That being said, i predict michigan beats SC by 3 and we beat them by 10.

    UVA dismisses Nichols

    It definitely hurts but uva will still b a top 10-ish team. reuters looked good off the bench, so he'll just get more minutes now , plus i think 1 of the 2 four star freshmen they're redshirting might b a big, so they might just pull that redshirt and play him this year. but if not, and they...

    I ask this with all sincerity (UVa - SU comparison)

    I actually live in Charlottesville and have been a season ticket holder for the past 5 seasons, and my take is that Syracuse is being a little underrated and that UVa is being rated about right. I think we will win this year because we're playing UVa at the Dome, but if we were at the John, then...

    @ Wisconsin game, 11/29

    your best bet is to just keep checking stubhub a couple times a week. but the key is, like someone else mentioned, find out when the day single game tickets are made available, then check that day and everyday after that on stubhub, and you'll find a reasonably priced ticket.

    Thoughts on the upcoming year

    I completely agree with everything you said. My money is lydon as 6th man leading the team in minutes played.
  26. C

    Just imagine if Gillon comes in and shoots 39% from 3 like he did his first 2 years.

    I think gillon and battle emerge as the key leaders on this team.
  27. C

    Just imagine if Gillon comes in and shoots 39% from 3 like he did his first 2 years.

    That would be awesone if gillon could go back to those shooting numbers, but wasn't he primarily a sg when he shot 39% and playing off the ball, and then his numbers dipped a little when he became a pg with more ball handling responsibilities? Hope I'm wrong about that. Would love to have 3...

    OK, minutes instead of lineup

    Exactly, very good problem to have! And I agree, Lydon I don't think (or hope) will play any minutes at C out of necessity, except maybe when extreme foul trouble issues arise, and I think most games he will not play a single minute at C, but I think there will be games where he'll play a bunch...

    OK, minutes instead of lineup

    Hey Brooky, Rob from rivals here. I think this is pretty dead on accurate. The only tweaking I might do is to go with Lydon getting a few more minutes at SF from White and at C in certain situations against certain teams to take advantage of mismatches. I don't see Lydon getting less than 34 or...

    White addition moves us from 8th to 4th in this pre-season prediction...

    Yep, their style of play is maddening. Living here in Charlottesville, though, that made it so much sweeter watching that beatdown against UVa last April after having to listen to everyone saying how bad they were going to beat up on the Cuse! The fans at least were totally looking past us...

    White addition moves us from 8th to 4th in this pre-season prediction...

    I hope they do take a step back, but as high as I am on our team this year, UVa looks like they've reloaded very well and will be a tough game. They return Perrantes, who is as good as any PG in the country, and bring in Austin Nichols, who would be in the NBA right now in all likelihood if he...

    Frank Howard

    I hope you're right. Its not unrealistic to think howard will be much improved this year, but I'm still guessing that gillon starts and howard gets significant minutes off the bench. It was good to hear devendorf et al positive reviews of his game this summer. They got it exactly right with...

    Your top three lineups

    Hetes a few variations Starting lineup: Gillon, white, lydon, Roberson, coleman Fast break/pressing lineup: Gillon, battle, white, roberson, lydon Big lineup: Howard, white, lydon, Roberson, chukwu Best overall lineup balancing offense and defense : Gillon, battle, lydon, Roberson, chukwu

    I actually live in cville. All great restaurants you mentioned. While you're still hear, make sure to try ivy inn and maya, my 2 favorites. Maya has twelve dollar tuesdays which gets you an entree and side - best deal in town. Also oakhart social has great small plates.

    PS: Syracuse senior Dajuan Coleman on next year: "I'm definitely coming back''

    Such good news. Agreed we should have a full 8 man rotation. PG Battle/Howard SG Richardson SF Lydon PF Roberson/Moyer C Coleman/Chukwu That's some serious size, especially when Chukwu is in the game!

    Duke lands two studs

    I really hope you're right about McCullough. But from what I've seen and read, Okafor is the real deal. Absolutely dominant. If he were playing in college this year, he'd be the best center in the game by a lot. And he's still got a year to continue developing before he gets here. I think it's...

    Patterson extremely impressive at practice

    What did Waters have to say about Patterson? Was he impressive just on defense or is his ball handling or shooting a little more developed than we've been expecting? By all accounts he's going to be a very effective high energy guy on defense at the top of the zone. Would love it if other...
