I am originally from Syracuse, and I live and work about a half hour from Emmitsburg, and this just isn't true at all. If you are a city person (which I am not) I guess I can see your point, but if you aren't, it is quite picturesque in Emmitsburg and is only an hour away from Baltimore & DC.

There is a cost associated with hiring and training someone. The more specialized, the greater the chance that is the case. We do the same - three years, as the cost does not justify the effort otherwise. It makes hiring more difficult, but it has paid off.

Embarrassed? I would be mad as h*ll. Coaches would have to wait in line behind me because I would be in his face if he was my son. Authority figures (which coaches are) should always be treated with respect, whether you agree with them or not. Yes, I am a parent of a 20-year-old, and I...

I agree. However, as I said, right now, based on how the players on the team have been playing, I wouldn't guarantee current players starting over Moore. There is certainly time for them to prove you correct, but there is a huge need for a consistent 3-pt scorer, who also defends.

Moore is sitting on the bench? I just don't see that as likely, at the moment.

It is sad that your fandom is all about negativity all the time. Most people choose not to live their lives like that and instead be happy when positive things happen.

So, you're saying you would prefer they roll with the current roster over bringing in another Center? Because, otherwise, celebration for improving the roster is what fans do.

They have decades of practice.

I have never seen so many words written to say so little of value as this thread. 30-40 pages of the same thing over and over again.

Some of those schools were probably paying players long before NIL existed.

It makes them feel better about themselves because they know how many horrible things they have said about him in the past.

Any recent ex-Takeover players who would be Transfer options?

No offense was taken. It is unfortunate that 15 intersects a portion of the campus, though it is mostly the athletic facilities on the east side, and the dorms and education buildings on the west side. Remember that it is a Catholic University with a major Seminary as well, so it being nestled...

Working near 'The Mount', I happen to think it is a very nice location and campus. Not everyone enjoys city-scape and concrete jungles.

I just find it hard to believe JJ would commit to an SU team that would already have Taylor & Copeland. Especially with Lands already committed. Where is his path to playing time? Can't help feeling that it is JJ or Copeland, and the coaches may have warned him that they will take Copeland...

I read this, and I suddenly feel really old.

The rumor is they only take up one scholarship.

As a fan of SU and also Arsenal in the English Premier League, I can't help seeing the parallels between the two teams. Both led by long time coaches, with stellar careers and much success. Arsenal are further along the arc than SU is, but if you want to see what happened after they kicked the...

With an extra scholarship & no Ivy League, why not a Senior year of Jimmy Boeheim?

Long time ago, but I graduated from high school and started college at 17. I had a late birthday, and turned 18 a month and a half after I started college. I don't see the problem here.

Anyone who thinks that JB doesn't know talent, is a fool.

Some things never change. It is almost comforting in its consistency, wouldn't you say?

The article about this indicated that SU has to submit paperwork, in order for Shy to be eligible for the supplemental draft. Hopefully, the administration will work to make this happen. Bam, thanks for bringing all of us along for the ride through Shy's career at SU. I wish it would have...

Sophomore slump is a real thing. Look it up. Last I looked Brissett, Marek & Sidibe are all Sophomore's. It is all a natural progression. Natural progressions do not all accelerate consistently. There are often stops & starts. This is reality. However, a common theme on here, is that...

Yes.

Calls link Sean Miller, others to recruit's handler

what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Syracuse's basketball shooting woes should be a thing of the past Paragraph 11. When discussing SU's 3 pt shooting. "I think Oshae is much better, Marek is much better," Boeheim said. So, apparently, MD has been working on something, if not his strength. These kids are long & rangy. It...

You can't commit somewhere if you don't have the grades. Until he can prove his grades, he can't commit, because he doesn't have an offer to commit too. He went the JC route, so he has to graduate from the JC to be eligible.

Doesn't he live in CT? Why would it be outrageous for a kid who lives locally to chose the local school, even if they might not be what some people consider to be the best option? Can't you make that same argument for JG3? I have no idea where the kid goes. I am a fan of SU, and I am...

This post, a thing of grace and beauty.

I went there, and I can't disagree. On the other hand, someone mentioned U of R as a beautiful campus, and I have to agree with that!

College Hoops Corruption Case I love this quote when talking about several of the jury during the selection process, and explaining that for the most part, they weren't made up of college hoops fans. "Only a small percentage of potential jurors who underwent questioning on Monday were aware of...

I'd rather have Akok. Nothing against Stewart, as he is an outstanding player, but he would be a square peg in a round hole is SU's system. Akok, on the other hand is exactly the type of player that thrives in SU's system. Akok would show better than Stewart.

It is funny money numbers. Many programs move the numbers around to be net neutral.

People also make predictions on here regularly and are right. I guess it depends on how you decide to look at things? Recruiting is fluid. 17-20 year old kids change their minds in an instant and are easily influenced by the adults around them. Everyone intellectually know this, but in the...

However, it is defense that earns kids playing time from JB. Hopefully, his defense will be good enough to get him some PT.

Having a teenager, so thus understanding how smart they think they are, while simultaneously being so blindingly stupid, I feel bad for the kid. He needs to head to a place like IMG where he can possibly rebuild his rep. Because if he thinks he can hide for a year then show up at the draft...

Actually, you are the one with selective reading skills. Try reading closer. At no point did I say that you, yourself have a negative attitude. That comment was directed at anyone who does have a negative attitude toward the program and the coaching staff. Why? Do you feel guilty? Maybe you...

None of it is valid. Try comparing it to similar situations, otherwise it can't be valid. SU was under sanctions, allowed fewer coaches to recruit off campus (which most people on here either completely discount as a disadvantage or forget about, though it actually is a huge disadvantage) and...

Jord is right on this. You have to take Zags info with a bit of skeptism, because he will drop teams names or not to fit his agenda.

How so? What should SU fans expect of teams coached by him?

That is your view of the other side of the discussion. Conversely, my view of your side of the discussion is that when there is a miss, the situation is dire. If you recruited them, you needed them, so losing them is a sign that the bottom has fallen out. And since you ignore the discussion...

Ah, two3, at least you can always be trusted to stay true to your view of the world according to two3zone. I have to hand it too you, unlike many others, you are unwavering in your pessimism. Keep hanging on, JB will be gone in a few years. Certainly, losing any player you are recruiting is a...

Yes, the St. Bonnie that just hired the Assistant coach he had a good relationship with at LaSalle. Which is the school he only decommitted from because the Head Coach was fired. What's hard to understand about this? Or, are we just talking about agenda trumps reality again?

LGO

Braswell on the team is the difference between being on probation and being finished with probation. The odds are high that he will be a 3-4 yr player. He is thin, but skilled. He has lots to work on, but when you are on probation, you don't have enough scholarships that you can afford to...

His previous high jump was 6' 6". Not bad, but nothing spectacular. 6' 10" is much better. 7' 1" is the top jump this year.

Have you seen his girlfriend? He is going wherever she tells him!
