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

    I mostly agree, but being able defend the paint from powerful big men was a skill that the team was missing this year. We really need 6'9" and taller guys that can do that. I don't care if they are called forwards or centers.

    I love the way this guy thinks

    There will be 12 teams in the playoffs next season.

    Justin Taylor transferring to JMU

    I'll always root for Justin. JMU is in a beautiful location in Virginia and the school is improving academically and athletically.

    Lets all root for UConn

    Disagree. I’d like to see UConn lose by a lot.

    Everyone who's been watching Syracuse basketball the past few years: "That's pretty normal, right?"

    Yeah, I remember really wanting him when SU was recruiting him out of HS.

    Maliq Brown to Duke

    Pretty replaceable IMO. There are plenty of Subaru driving, farm to table libs from the smaller conferences that we could plug in without spending too much NIL.

    If we don’t make the tournament next yr, is Red gone?

    I don't even know what the right strategy is for a coach these days. You would think that bringing in just below NBA level talents and giving them lots of playing time would be a great strategy, but that's exactly what Edwards, Girard, Guerrier, and Brown were and they all left anyways. UCONN...

    Quadir Copeland in the portal

    I can't believe that in the time that you locked this thread, Quadir decided to join Georgetown. Copeland to Transfer to the Hoyas.

    The brag about my kid’s athletic performance thread.

    My sophomore middle blocker played his first varsity game today and he fit right in.

    NIT Bracketology

    I hate the NIT less than most posters on this board and if we had a promising group of young players with bright futures I would be all for it. For a dysfunctional team that's about to lose most of its players, the NIT wouldn't be good for the program or most of its fans.

    All inclusive Marvel thread, MCU, D+ shows, comics and whatever else is nerds desire.

    I'm the only one in my family that will watch the poorly rated shows and movies just so that I can keep up with the story line, but my Disney+ renewal is almost due and I think that I'm going to save the $120 for this year. The quality of the Marvel (and Star Wars) content has been low, it just...

    The brag about my kid’s athletic performance thread.

    Wow, that's exactly what my kid's tournament was like.

    The Talk

    I don't know how many of those guys there are but you'd have to think that Syracuse would be an attractive landing spot for someone like that. There would be lots of playing time available.

    The brag about my kid’s athletic performance thread.

    My kid just started playing volleyball a year ago and made his club's elite team. They traveled out to Los Angeles to play the top teams in the country. He got a bunch of kills against the number one team in the country and got one of his plays on this highlight video. Unfortunately they lost...

    Frank Anselem @ UGA

    I imagine that he’d be starting at Syracuse if he had stayed.

    Is anybody mad?

    That's fair. All I know is that we need someone bigger and stronger than Brown down low, and he's my favorite player on the team.
  18. Conrad13

    Is anybody mad?

    With all of the transferring, which I hate, I think that we are allowed to be a little more impatient. Arizona is a good example of a school that went through a far more tumultuous coaching change than ours and they bounced right back. It doesn't take time to build a program like it used to...

    SUNY Cortland - Final Four

    I talked a lot of smack with all of my old Cortland friends and am getting rightfully killed for it. Oof. Cortland’s o line and qb were outstanding in the second half. Congratulations Cortland State!

    NCC coach is a good guy but wow, that was not a good idea going for two.

    SUNY Cortland - Final Four

    It depends on the school I think. The Wisconsin schools are as big as many Division I schools so they have a pretty good pool to pull from. I think that it's just part of the DNA at Mount Union. North Central has been putting some resources into coaching and recruiting. Most of our student body...

    SUNY Cortland - Final Four

    I grew up in Cortland and work at North Central College. I was really rooting for this game to happen. I have to pull for the Cardinals because I've been following all year. We have a great mobile quarterback who is a Gagliardi Trophy finalist and a three year starter with a fantastic O-line to...

    I'm married to a Colgate alum so I needed this win more than the team did. My wife's been killing me for two years now.

    I feel like he was only committed to UNC for about 15 seconds before Pitino came along.

    We should let him know that we have people to write papers for our international students. Too soon?

    Ludicrous

    I worked at Grinnell for three years and the games were goofy, but I’d be lying if I said they weren’t entertaining. A 20 point lead in either direction didn’t really mean much. A friend of mine was an alum and scored 80 something points in a game and you’d never have guessed if you met him.

    Chilly reception for King Rice, coaching against UVA

    I went to Golden Valley Basketball Camp in high school and King Rice came to give a motivational talk. They set up a one-on-one game between him and the best player at the camp. Rice got upset because we were cheering for our camp-mate and stopped the game when he airballed to yell at us. It was...

    Ian Aftermath....

    Glad to know that you’re safe. My parents’ place is in Osprey and they haven’t gotten any reports yet but they’re cautiously optimistic. Their friends in Naples house got wet and their car is trashed. Best of luck with the cleanup!

    Puerto Vallarta

    My friend's place is right on the inlet to the harbor in Nuevo Vallarta. A few years ago, they had a big quake and tsunami warnings. All of the boats hauled arse out of the harbor before almost all of the water was sucked out to sea. Fortunately, the wave wasn't too big but he watched the whole...

    Puerto Vallarta

    We were staying in Nuevo Vallarta so we were a little closer, but the road to Bucerias is pretty fast. It would be more than $5 for a ride but it's a pretty different scene than Puerto Vallarta, so I'd recommend it if you're looking for a change of pace.

    Puerto Vallarta

    We liked Karen's in Bucerias, It's a great place for a meal on the beach and watch the sunset.

    I drove through western Spain this summer and it was full of mountains, trees and almost no people. It’s a great country.

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

    Considering our current center situation, which isn't too bad, I'd rather focus on freshman centers than transfers. (Forwards and guards on the other hand...)

    Class of 2022 C Ugonna Kingsley Onyenso (CT)

    I completely hear what you are saying, but when we're not even using up our scholarships, I think that there are times when it's worth taking some chances. I'd rather use a scholarship on a player who could blow up if they are healthy than on a player that just isn't good enough or not using the...

    Jesse Edwards Out For The Season

    If you have depth at a position, the players who don't start will transfer. I know that JB should play the bench more, but this is a challenge that programs face these days.

    Yeah his poor defense is his old coach’s fault, not his current coach.

    The brag about my kid’s athletic performance thread.

    The ball got wedged between the rim and the backboard at my 8th grade son's basketball game last night. He casually jumped up and knocked it loose and got some of the biggest cheers of the night.
