    Our crying need. A true center!

    You didn't do anything wrong. Thanks for the info.

    Class of 2024 DB Marcellus Barnes (TN) COMMITTED / SIGNED NLI TO SYRACUSE (1/6/24)

    If you click on the header "Rank" you'll see that the ranking refers to the snowiest years in Syracuse history. 1993 is ranked 1st at 207.9 inches. 2007 is ranked 2nd at 184.6. 2005 is ranked 3rd at 176, etc.

    Class of 2024 CG Boogie Fland (NY) Offered

    James Harden is a combo guard. Nobody is disparaging Boogie Fland by calling him that.

    Maliq reminds me of Rick Jackson

    Wasn't Roberson the player for whom JB coined the phrase "he had one more rebound than a dead guy?"

    No. You're thinking about it.

    Weird take. Only makes sense out of context.

    I’ll be that guy

    Why are we concentrating on the first series of the second half? Why not talk about the last series of the first half? Why did Dino leave the starters in for that series? If he had pulled the starters before the final series of the first half that would have been the right decision, but leaving...

    Class of 2023 C William Patterson (NY) COMMITTED/SIGNED TO SYRACUSE (2/20/23)

    Yes. Patterson is listed at 220, but also we have a transfer coming in named Mounir Hima who weighs 230.

    Anyone know if Mintz will actually be the starting pg?

    I wouldn't have had a problem with a different distribution of minutes. I just disagree with your suggestion that JB should have moved Buddy off the 2 spot.

    Anyone know if Mintz will actually be the starting pg?

    His son was first team all-ACC at the 2.

    Syracuse is in an Elite Group of Schools

    Correct. All of those schools won their championships in the past.

    It was bound to happen ...

    That's a point I hadn't considered. Player movement will continue, but this could actually keep them in school longer.

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

    I'm in the believe it when I see it camp, but if there were a year to mix in some man to man, this would be it, exactly for the reasons you listed. We've seen upper classeman transfers in the past who didn't grasp the zone until midseason.

    Akok Akok in the portal

    No. The people who have a different opinion than you about Akok do not want the team to be successful.

    Class of 2023 G Reid Ducharme (MA / Brewster) Offered

    Who cares? Where is he ranked? /s Just kidding. Terrific analysis!

    Class of 2022 PG Judah Mintz (DC / Oak Hill) COMMITTED/SIGNED TO SYRACUSE

    Great call. He almost didn't believe it himself. Confidence level 1!

    Bol over Frank ?

    For what it's worth, I don't blame JBA. He shouldn't have been in there.

    Congratulations Buddy #1

    Buddy was the ACC leading scorer. Shooting percentage, number of shots per game, team record, nor minutes played has never in the long history of the ACC been a consideration when listing the ACC leading scorer for the season. Buddy is in the history books, and there is no asterisk.

    Bol over Frank ?

    As the ball came off the front of the rim, JBA was flat-footed. Again, his positioning was fine. He was out-muscled.
  22. DBCooper

    Bol over Frank ?

    JBA's positioning was fine. The problem was that he didn't jump up and get the rebound.
  23. DBCooper

    Class of 2022 PG Judah Mintz (DC / Oak Hill) COMMITTED/SIGNED TO SYRACUSE

    I believe JB actually said that 2 or 3 freshmen will start next year, but it seems foolish to bank on that in February. Regardless, if Mintz signs, I think he would be the most likely candidate of the freshmen to start

    Class of 2021 C Mac Etienne (CT/Brewster) Offered

    I agree with your larger point, but I think your description of calling someone a pig as being dehumanizing is overblown. Clearly it is a metaphor. Would you prefer a**hole? Because that seems to fit, but it seems a lot worse of a thing to be called if you are taking it literally.

    When Benny finally figures it out…

    All of those players coaches must be poor evaluators of talent or else suck at player development.

    I believe its an apt description. Flip the bird like a normal person. Spitting on someone is revolting. And I believe it goes against Covid protocol.

    My Questions for tonight's Jim Boeheim Show

    All five freshmen will play? So - a 10 player rotation?!?

    My Questions for tonight's Jim Boeheim Show

    I agree, but the only locks are Jesse and Joe.

    Just a reminder

    We were outrebounded the whole game. You don't seriously think that when OP said we had a good effort for 30 minutes he was referring to rebounding, do you? OP didn't even mention rebounding. You brought it up.
  30. DBCooper

    Just a reminder

    The problem with that is that nobody in this thread has associated the poor rebounding with tired legs except you.

    1-1-3 zone…..

    When the ball rotates around the perimeter, the 1-1-1-1-1 spins around like a propeller

    Sean Tucker will break Joe Morris single season rushing record

    Still haven't gotten over Roger Maris hitting 61, huh?

    Class of 2022 PG JJ Starling (Baldwinsville / La Lumiere) Offered

    Bazely was a debacle. Bazely had signed a LOI and then decommitted in March of his senior year. Lands decommitting the summer before his senior year gives us much more room to operate, especially with the transfer portal, which wasn't an option when we lost Bazely.

    He's waiting until he decides what his top schools are

    No it's about your own personal uncertainty. It's a guess.

    Next year’s starting line up ?

    We'll be good this year. The "incredibly frustrated fanbase" are just the loudest voices.

    LOL. I know it's been said before, but Hopkins' facial expression is hilarious.

    John Bol is likely staying

    What's the matter with you? Why is everything a dumb semantic argument? Post better.

    Class of 2022 SG Chance Westry (PA / AZ Compass Prep) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (4/17/23)

    I think we should do that with all of our '22 recruits. Give them one week and if none of them commit - move on. Start recruiting a whole new batch of players. And give them a quick deadline too. Presto! Monster class.

    Did anyone listen to Allen Griffen on Orange Nation?

    Fascinating. I would have never guessed you felt that way.

    Quincy Guerrier to test the NBA and enter the portal

    I think this may be true. Both Benny and Cole would be more likely to fill the wing forward position on offense when paired with Q.

    Jimmy Boeheim Transferring to Syracuse

    I understand the issue many have with the athleticism of this coming year's team. I am just saying that looking at the guys we are recruiting in '22 and '23, it doesn't appear to me that JB has completely abandoned his desire to have athletes who are good defensive players.
  43. DBCooper

    Jimmy Boeheim Transferring to Syracuse

    I think it's more nuanced than that. JB has clearly embraced the shift in emphasis in the modern game to three point shooting and has adjusted priorities accordingly. But I look at guys like Bennie and Kamari and I see old school Syracuse type athletes.
  44. DBCooper

    It’s Portal time!

    I agree. I also don't believe that someone deciding to transfer is a sign of poor character.

    DO article on Recruiting

    We need to get back to the days when we were bringing in guys like Bennie Williams and Kamari Lands. Because recruiting has been down, and we don't bring guys like that in. And we probably won't get any other highly rated kids in 2022 either.

    Assistant coaches salaries

    I found it one of the least intriguing questions here. I did find it a funny question for a first post. A little comic relief.
