    Class of 2023 F Alyssa Latham (IL) transferring to Tennessee

    She was given every opportunity to display her talent. WAs she given a do not shoot order from the staff? She played almost 30 minutes per game and would have played longer if she could have stayed out of foul trouble. I am not trying to slam her game, she has talent and I actually thinjk she...

    Class of 2023 F Alyssa Latham (IL) transferring to Tennessee

    Her impression of her game, the way she described her skill set, when interviewed, was different then the reality of what she presented on the court. Yes, she could handle the ball, and had some mobility, and perimeter skill set, but, that aspect of her game, needs a lot of work. She had every...

    Class of 2023 F Alyssa Latham (IL) transferring to Tennessee

    'If Felisha can't keep them, no one person can. She is incredibly engaging and involved with her players"!!! That is why the LATHAM transfer hurts so much!! All the reasons that LATHAM STATED, when she was interviewed and asked why she selected Syracuse, were true, she got playing time , she...

    Class of 2023 F Alyssa Latham (IL) transferring to Tennessee

    Losing Latham Hurt! Why? She was an important building block for the growth of this team over the next few years. In the current "Transfer Portal" environment, building a team, will be an every year project! In the old days, players transferred for many reasons, but playing time and...

    2024-25 Potential Roster

    Coverage of Cuse women's basketball is poor at best. "You were hoping to hear our name mentioned with a few transfers?" From who? Why are there no updates on Women's basketball recruiting like there is for Men's basketball and football? I asked this question of a syracuse print media journlist...

    Transfer Portal 2024

    Thw question we all should be asking...is why is there not better media coverage of Women's basketball at the Cuse? We collectively need to demand it. I asked the question last year of a Syracuse journalist, here is what I was told: When we do write stories about women's basketball, there isn't...

    A Crucial Stage in the Program's Development

    All signs point to a drop off. No guarantee that we can get the help we need from the Portal The Portal is about money , plain and simple, and our war chest isn't as big as a lot of our major competitors. Look on the men.s side, Calipari just left Kentucky for Arkansas for big bucks. It was...

    Get used to it...this is going to be the norm! It says nothing bad about the coach or the program!! In this new environment, you have agents for schools that are putting out feelers all year, speaking to AAU coaches, parents, other people who are close to talented players, and they are making...

    NIL..it is all about the cash! Good players like Latham, and their parents, look around and see other players geting big money, millions in some cases, and they say to themselves, or other say to them, hey, you should be getting more, you deserve more. So, they put their name in the hat and...

    I like her game. She looks like a nice pop and drop shooter who can play the high post , drive to the basket ofr take the short jumper. She looks like a nice post up player as well.

    Class of 2020 C Izabel Varejão (Brazil) Grad Transfer from Michigan to Syracuse (5/23/23)

    Awesome news!!! Here's hoping she can stay healthy! I saw her play live at NC State, her best game of the year and she gave NC State's big post player all that she could handle..I think she had 14 points. If she stays healthy, she can be a difference maker.

    We all have to get used to the fact ...this is the new norm! Can you blkame the kid? He has been playing out of position for both of hi seasons here...and every sign points to the fact that he would be playing some Center next year as well. Kids have to do what is in their best interest and...

    I told you we would figure out a way to deal with the scholarship limit thing...Players will leave..and open up room. This is the new norm. Rosters will have to be rebuilt every year moving forward with such free player movement allowed now via this thing called the Portal!

    We will make one for her! New York is her home. At Kentucky, she is just another Yankee, but if she comes home, she could be the center piece of something really special.

    I agree on scholarship limit...but I bet if we can get a talented Big in the portal, we will figure out a way to deal with the scholarship thing!! Plus, who is to say that all of our players currently on the roster decide to stay??

    Portal Needs

    We are all allowed to have our own opinions. We had really good perimeter players, we started in essence, 3 guards, and that is where all of our scoring came from. Our bigs hustle, yes, play good defense yes, and rebound yes, I agree with all of that, but they don't score points. That was our...

    Utah coach at NCAA’s

    are you suggesting that it didn't happen? thus the reference to pictures and videos? Racism and hate is real. in 2024, you should not have to fear for your safety while playing basketball and representing your school.

    The Ladies had a great season and congratulations! Now, it is time to look to the future. One of the glaring weaknesses of this team and it showed up in the the box office tonight ( our bigs only scored 10 points and 8 were by one player, Latham), was an inside scoring threat. This team needs...

    SU 74 vs Arizona 69: Sat Mar 23, 3:30 PM [NCAA 1st Rd]

    Woolley needs to stop turning the ball over. She had as many points as turnovers yesterday! Just shoot the ball! We are getting very little from Rice at this point in the season. We will need more balanced scoring and great defensive effort to beat Uconn....but Uconn is beatable! Let's...

    Transfer Portal 2024

    I don't get it. Latham started, played almost the entire game unles she was in foul trouble or fouled out, which was an issue all season. She had every opportunity to post bigger numbers on offense, but she struggled to put the ball in the hole at times. Is that the Coach's fault...or the...

    Class of 2024 G Madeline Potts (AUS) COMMITTED & SIGNED TO SYRACUSE (6/30/23)

    I have watched al of their games this year and seen some live. Next year's team will need a physical big(at least 6-4), with the good post moves and the ability to score inside. Marilena, at 6-5, will need to get lot stronger to compete in the ACC. We need another big like our freshman, Allisha...

    Class of 2025 W/F Lara Somfai (Australia / IMG) Offered

    She is really good! Reminds me of Emily Engsler, when she was coming out of High School. At 6-3, she has a great handle, very nice post moves, and can shoot from the outside. I see her as a stretch 4 type. She would be an awesome get!!

    Khalil Ahmad back to Penn State

    Clearly, Penn State saw what HCFB and Syracuse was doing in New Jersey!!! They got scared, and offered Ahmad a lot...and I mean a lot of cash to come back, he most likely asked Cuse to counter, and they said no, thanks, so he split!!!! Typical move...people do it everyday in America! No...

    I live in South Carolina and have been to a few South Carolina games. The athleticism and physicality of the upper echelon teams, is shocking compared to Syracuse. We need a dynamic point guard with some speed and handles. Remember how dynamic Tiana was? We need that caliber point moving forward.

    Class of 2020 C Izabel Varejão (Brazil) Grad Transfer from Michigan to Syracuse (5/23/23)

    We need her to be healthy and strong. Our interior defense was much better when she was playing, she gives us another 5 fouls to give in the post and from the limited time she was on the floor for us, she seems to have the best post up game of all of our Bigs. She is coming back for our stretch...
