Another day, another commit lol.

Sorry, what is this in reference to?

No no no, it's clearly the player posting photos of their college visit who is immature, and not me sitting at my computer in my shorts refreshing a fan forum page hundreds of times hoping to hear positive news about his visits.

No, absolutely I'd take that too. But as a Syracuse fan, I'd rather get a CJ fair than a Donte Greene, if you know what I mean.

The downside of a kid like this with his height and skill set, is that if he is even slightly good for us, he'll be gone to the NBA the next year. Shoot, he might even be pretty bad for us-- imagine him scoring 12 pts a game on 41/35/75 splits or something like that, and he might go.

Ah, the payside...

Unless Red completely outdoes my expectations in the portal, we are going to really, really miss Q next year. And I don't buy for a second that he wasn't completely about winning when he was on the court. If every guy on our team played with the toughness and passion he played with, we'd still...

This is the definition of rationalization.

That makes sense.

What would Red's success have to do with this? In this scenario, Red would obviously have to want him back.

Looks like Hop is almost certainly getting canned at UW. Would you guys want him back as an assistant on Red's staff? I know we've talked about bringing him back as head coach, but I don't remember if we've talked about assistant.

Not to nit pick, but ten years ago we were enjoying Tyler Ennis' freshman year and being AP #1 for a good chunk of the year.

Yeah fair enough. I don't know that much of the details of how it went down .

I can't ever begrudge a player trying to get paid. Basketball careers are short, and Jesse's likely not going to be pulling big contracts. So what if he shopped one offer around to get a better one-- if he was a software engineer getting a better offer by doing that, none of us would have a...

We always overestimate how good freshman are going to be. I'd love it if Freeman was immediately better than a junior Brown, but I highly doubt it. More likely, Brown adds a three point shot and starts at the 4 and is really solid while doing it, while Freeman plays 26 minutes a night when...

In today's college hoops, it's less about the recruits, and more about the portal players. We need a good PG and a true rim protecting center in the portal.

The fluctuation in opinions in here from one game to the next is hilarious. We went from QC is for sure an NBA guard to QC can't cut it at a P5 program lol. Every major contributor on this team is a sophomore, most of our players were recruited to play a different defense, and we're a mid-tier...

Serious question: are we sure Mintz is gone next year? I know he's had NBA hype but honestly am not sure he gets drafted if the draft was today as an athletically average (For the NBA) PG without a great 3pt shot. Add in NIL stuff and it might make sense for him to stay-- of course transferring...

Yup, I think we're pretty good-- at least at home. The other thing I keep coming back to is that everyone feels like it we only had a good perimeter shooter, we'd be so much better. I'm think JJ could be that guy. He's shot 8-17 from 3 over the past 6 games (including today's 1-5 effort) and...

The best league comp for QC is probably GPII. GPIII is a bit more athletic and a better defender, but QC is taller (although I don't think QC is actually 6'6--more like 6'4) . The fact that GPII had to grind his way through like 6 teams and only really is a useful player on very unique teams...

Stop moving the goalposts and arguing with strawmen lol. First two posts you say: - anyone who thinks SU will lose is traumatized. - the other teams aren't definitely better. Last post you say - Not arguing which are better. - Just saying the games aren't already losses. Who is saying the...

Ken Pom has us as the 10th out of the 15 ACC teams. I'm not sure why 10-9 would be our floor. I'd love to way outplay that, but I'm pretty sure we could do much worse than 10-9.

Also, Starling would 1000% have gotten an offer. Local McDonalds All American?? Idk what you're talking about haha.

It's gonna be up and down most likely the rest of the way for JJ, but hopefully the trend line continues up. I just don't understand fans who have no patience a player coming off meniscus surgery and recovering from shoulder injuries. Yes the shot isn't falling yes it's a bit awkward at times...

Yeah, and also MCW got drafted when there was only one season of tape on his shooting, and he made a decent number of 3s (like 1 per game) albeit on poor efficiency. Teams thought that he might learn to shoot. My best imagination for him at the NBA level without a shot is something like...

No, Niastri is right. It essentially means a PG sized SG, which isn't a good thing. Nobody called Ja Morant a combo guard, not because he couldn't play off the ball, but because he has true pg skills.

If UW fire Hopkins, I wonder if Red would bring him back as lead assistant? I'd personally love to see that happen. I feel like Red and Hop working together would be a very formidable recruiting pair.

I think I misinterpreted the original statement-- I assumed "shotmaking" meant creating own shot and scoring at all three levels. As a pure shooter, of course Buddy is better-- better than Carmelo too of course. I don't think he's necessarily a better scorer than Silent G and Waiters. On the...

Yah, some of these comments are really just prisoners of the moment, lol. I love Buddy, but I can think of a handful of better shot makers beyond just Carmelo since I started watching the Orange during the Hart/Thomas/Shumpert years. Waiters and senior-year Gbinije come to mind. Buddy reminds me...

Loyola was crazily underserved. Kenpom had thrm as the 8th best team in the country before the tourney started.

I think you underestimate how high the level of play is too. The players are CLEARLY better than all but the very best college players. I'd say it's about the same level of play as the G-league with a bit less cohesion and chemistry. But that cohesion and chemistry is what separates the teams in...

top 40 is better than us over the past few years. :(

I think it all depends on how good he ACTUALLY is. If he's a top 10 recruit still in two years then maybe not, but if he's "just" a top 25 recruit-- he probably won't have the option.

I actually disagree. With the importance of non-conference wins and overall conference strength perception, I like that moving conference games into the earlier schedule theoretically allows for more chances for teams and conferences to prove themselves against outside competition AFTER they...

By the laws of transferal, we beat the team we beat by 22, by 58.

Tons of NBA teams are led in assists by something other than a traditional pure pg. For example, none of LeBron James, Luka Doncic, James Harden, Jimmy Butler, Ben Simmons, Bradley Beal, Gianni's Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic, and Draymond Green defend pgs on defense, but all generally lead their...

Graffiti itself, no? But racial slurs against blacks and Asians. Yeah, that falls more under it. But I feel like you knew that already and we're just trying to troll no?

I wonder if they are trying to decide whether to include the non-basketball comments JB made at the end about the alleged hate crimes on campus.

I think our current QB needs all the experience he can get right now

Zac Foutz Samwell Tarly

It got added to YoutubeTV which I think is going to be the long term winner after the cord-cutting plays its course. So that's big news I think.

Well this proves, beyond a shadow of doubt, that Boeheim has lost the team.

He certainly could have done more. That said, I remember his freshman season and he was NOT ready offensively at that point.

Watching Brisset right now. He's just spotting up in the corner and hoping to get a pass. Super uninvolved in the offense currently. To be fair, that's most of his role probably in the offense. Be a big 3-D wing. But the best ones (Danny Green) do other stuff to impact on offense--setting...

Apologies if this was already posted. I didn't see it. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/26754520/ucf-fall-11-picked-draft-combine

Not just the coaches, the programs should get the death penalty as well. They knew exactly what was going on, especially since they have kept their coaches through this controversy.

Apparently Miller paid 10k a month to Ayton and paid to have recruits families etc moved to Tucson. This is rediculous. http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/26647372/miller-paid-10k-per-month-ayton

I hope some of you got to see Damien Lillard personally put down the Thunder tonight. His series winning 3 at the buzzer was a historically great shot. Dropped 50 to close it out. His wave goodbye after the shot was as cold as it gets.

As a devout Christian, I'm horrified by everything Jerry Fallwell Jr. His views and actions are the worst representation of Christianity and I'm ashamed/angered that I get associated with him in people's minds if I mention that I'm a Christian. That said, it's a tricky issue on whether we should...

You guys act like identifying, getting, and developing talent isn't part of the head coaches job. Florida State had somewhat similar players (by star rating) as Clemson and look where that got them.
