Stupid question - with a top four NCAA seed seemingly done does SU actually need to do this? Other than for the spirit of competition?

yeah you're right, i sorta banged that post out quick.

I don't know anything about Mason Gillis, but how does he fit into this now that he committed to Duke?

The Delaware de-cleating?

He took 17 three point shots all year.

Come on. That kid traded up conferences to wherever Delaware is moving to this year. I get you like the kid but Duke and Cuse are cashing the same ACC checks.

JG3 felt like he took a gap year going down there. This kid, again, an under-recruited guy (who the one time I saw him in hs was frankly awful, thought Gerry was gonna walk on the court and take his scholarship away) whose team is seemingly righting the ship, walks over to a program like Duke...

Both teams played at an incredibly high level, and that 2 minute major didn't kill us. Might be the best sporting even I've seen in 2024.

Really? Jungleland is a pretty common fish.

Their ain't no might about it. What their teams do on the high school level is ridiculous. Paul VI literally swallows up their opponents players.

Honestly that's nothing to worry about until it's something to worry about. Forgive me for sounding like Mookie Wilson...

An explosive 6'10" 5 star over a 165 pound point guard that everyone saw and still ended up in the Ivies.

One day there might be an NIL service charge baked in :)

Agreed - we are lucky that we do have a superstar / mega rich guy who is loyal 100%.

Even in 2013 our donor base was top heavy. I used to be really in favor of the small donor thing, just don't think we can pull it off for a variety of reasons. Namely don't think we can pay people enough to get it to scale and have the math work. My personal opinion is schools will end up...

I didn't say we were going to corner the market. If the asking price is true it's a big overpay, but a risk Georgetown needs more than we do. Everyone saw Mack in HS, and he ended up at Harvard. Hard to think that was an accident.

It's just a matter of when these collectives get rolled into an AD. Paying kids gets easier when TV, tickets, bookstore stuff gets rolled up together.

I don't think its a simple as people in the community suddenly woke up and stuck 5 mil into football. Fran clearly has his own thing working.

There's a great chance why? His TTO guy is with us.

I don't know any details on the interactions with MB and the team after the season outside of what I read here and JB's public words. I do know that SU took a raw and toolsy kid and recruited and developed him into a nice player who can do a bunch of things. If he was asked to do something to...

How much scale can they get on that? SUAD never really tried that approach either.

Boeheim flat out said it

Yeah, happens in all sport at all levels. Then reality sets in for many (this isn't passing judgement on MB).

Buddy and Cole got two way deals because they can shoot it.

Were you in the hall? Sorry quick hitter of a trip

Bruce wrote Because the Night for Patti Smith, and Atlantic City was insane. Good review otherwise :) Really really wanted Racing. Sorta bummed I saw that original setlist, but, never mess with artistic greatness!

Original setlist had Racing… Otherwise great great show. Ticket worries put aside that place was packed. Syracuse, you’re a great xxxx audience !

12 hours and change...

Went through the Venetian on the way to The Sphere / U2 gig, and wondered why the heck we weren't staying there. I have nothing but bad things to sat about Paris. The air circulation system was vile.

Put on your best dress Chip...

Ah ok. Bellagio was across the street.

Where would I what? Sorry don't follow...

Albany setlist was a banger, looking forward to Thursday. Have some bets on what he plays.

Had to stay at Paris on a biz trip this year. Absolute dump, place had a mold issue (it was rumored).

Guys are moving between teams in the same conference, from a glance, or other lateral moves. If you're worried about the Duke game next season they have other guys who seem pretty good. Iron Dukes have a lot of cash, maybe it's just a payout. Doesn't really matter.

He was literally our only competent player by the end of the season. I am / guess was a fan, but he's not OG Anunoby. The team got bigger, longer, more athletic. Would rather he stay but there's a zillion portal guys, maybe who put up good stats for P5 programs that are doing the same.

Mack played on a high profile team in the best conference in the country (that won it), and was scouted by everyone. Guy didn't end up at Harvard by accident. Maybe he blows up at the next level but there's a reason he ended up there.

He also did a couple of years on the AAU circuit. Team Takeover (Freeman's team and the Paul VI feeder program)

Cost us Jesse. The rest yeah...

Stupid question for the novices...would / does the ACC tournament just provide downside for the NCAA if a team losses the first game?

It's a win in ACC play.

David Hale's retort:

Drew turned it down.

Can use more than one miner in a gold mine

Yeah agreed. The upside affluence is crazy.

Not sure digging up the dead and putting em on trial is apt. They were in the American when this post started that had a whole host of hurdles. Going home helped them a great deal. That being said Hurley is an animal with 100% buy in. Credit to him.

Yep...

Watched them play a few times. CHSAA was so stacked then.

He did.
