    Class of 2018 SG/SF Buddy Boeheim SIGNED WITH SYRACUSE

    If that's the case have him commit now or better yet anounce he'll play as a walk-on and clean up all the uncertainty about the coaching situation. Recruits know he's here for 5 more years so it's a non issue at least for a year or two

    Anyone worried about Battle leaving?

    He'll go through the process but won't leave unless he gets a 1st round promise like Mali did last year. It's highly doubtful that will happen in this draft. Who knows maybe our luck is starting to change and we land a of get everyone back and make a legit run at a national championship next year

    Lydon

    He'll measure well but it's a very deep draft. I don't see him getting a first round promise so it wouldn't make sense to leave

    Kentucky effect

    We don't have anyone to blame about the PG mess but ourselves. We went all in on one guy and didn't even bother with a backup option. The coaching staff should have been in panic mode the minute KU came into the picture.

    Question about scholarships

    Putting Waters in any conversation is highly optimistic. He hasn't even been let out of his scholarship by Grown yet and there's no indication the coaching staff has any interest in him.

    Kentucky effect

    Wrong guys as in how many busts have we had in the past 4 years. Also Syracuse doesn't appeal to one and done guys. Our system doesn't showcase them the way KU does. KU probably runs more fast breaks in a game then we do all season

    Villanova has taken our rightful spot as..

    We have just put together a recruiting class that should have us in the exact spot 3 years from now that Nova is in today. Along with Moyer and assuming Washington accepts his offer we have 4 players who are going to be around for 4 years. It's up to the coaches to develop them and bring in a...

    Kentucky effect

    Don't blame Kentucky for out recruiting us they out recruit everyone. Blame our recruiters for not getting the job done and recruiting the wrong guys. We have been terrible when it comes to recruiting for a while and it doesn't seem to be getting better any time soon.

    So here's the deal to all the "I'm not watching the NIT" crew

    No one on this board is going to stop supporting the team but the fact is no one cares about the NIT. It's the consultation tournament. If we win all it means is that we were the best of the bad teams this year. When I played finishing 2nd meant you were the first loser. Winning the NIT makes...

    Michigan State road record was 4-11

    Historically in worst home loss in Syracuse history and coming to a team that finished 8th out of 10 in the big East. Oh and just to rub salt in the wound Georgetown was the 9th place team.

    We cannot lose to Greensboro

    National sports Media isn't even covering the NIT much less blow it out of proportion. No one will even know who wins these games. The box scores probably won't even be printed by most papers or shown on major networks.

    First round locks?

    Always bet against top seeds in the NIT. These guys don't want to play in this tournament their heads aren't in the game meanwhile the lower seeds knew they would be here and are out to prove something against a big name school. Even if the top seeds win they won't likely cover. Happens every...

    I would like to take the time to thank the AD at

    Ya good luck with that. Why would Lydon come back now and where is a top of coming from with no top recruits left. Another 5th year transfer great so we repeat this season. If you thought this year was rough next year is going to be a lot worse

    SELECTION SHOW - Commentary as It is Announced

    I agree my point was if you look at the majority of our games this year we fail the eye test. The big wins at home were great but we looked terrible to often to make anyone think we could make a run this year. Frankly the way we played all year, even down the stretch, away from the dome makes it...

    Well then schedule some games out west forget about the big East. We aren't in the Big East anymore and shouldn't worry about rivalries that don't mean anything anymore. The past is the past leave there and do what's best for the program right now. Schedule properly to give us the best chance to...

    If the eye test mattered no question we're in. Problem is we the bed for the first 2 months of the season. You have to consider the entire season and no one would have had us in any post season tournament on Jan 1. The eye test theory would have any P5 team that makes a conference tourney...

    That's because the guys at ESPN watch games and know we are a good team the committee doesn't they look at our entire resume. The first half of our schedule we played so bad we would Ave been lucky to make the not. They can't overlook that and can't rule out we don't play like we did against St...

    Howard Washington

    Does anyone know why they chose to make the offer now. Is FH gone, Ayala not going to reclassified to 2017 or for whatever reason Duarte out of the picture. Where did the extra scholarship come from.

    Class of 2017 PG Tremont Waters (CT) to LSU

    Great we offer a 4 year backup the same day an impact of comes back on the market. Our luck this recruiting cycle can't get any worse. We should go after this kid hard we need all the help we can get at pg.

    Howard Washington

    Good move long term but don't expect much out of him next year. Gives us a decent backup for a few years and no issue in going after JQ next year so that's a positive. He'll be a starter as a senior and hopefully will develop with the rest of the class to give us a very nice team in a few years...

    I never thought I'd say this but we should drive and try to get to the line every time with out freethrow shooters. I don't think JB has ever been able to utilize that strategy.

    We need to get some rebounds? We're playing great defense forcing bad shots and giving up too many 2nd chances. Robbie and Lydon have to really pick it up and White has to realize his shot is off and try to get the other guys the ball. He's our up 3 straight bricks

    Loved the press conference and all the positivity no one deserves more respect or or praise for the coaching job he's done this year and over his career. That being said with all the love he dished out today coach had to find a way to rip Robbey - no chance we get those 2 at the end. LOL he...

    If we somehow land a guy like this and get a commitment from Duarte along with the 2 guys we currently have I think we will have come out with a very nice recruiting class. Next year will be a little painful especially if Battle leaves with Lydon but we could pick up a 5th year guy to run the...

    PG Situation/Battle at Point in 17-18?

    As long as he works out for a few teams he's gone. Seeing as he can put his name in the draft it's 100℅ he will. Once NBA scouts see his potential up close he's gone. I don't see him back no matter what happens the rest of the way. Players are drafted on potential and upsside which he has loads...

    Class of 2017 SG Chris Duarte (NY) to Oregon

    I love this kids game long term. The comparison to Grant was spot on. He has the athletic ability to be a beast but he really does need to work on his jumper to be able to play the 3 at a high level. I'm not saying he isn't a player, I actually see him as underrated but the biggest weakness in...

    Class of 2017 PG Jordan Walker (NJ) Transfer from Seton Hall to Tulane

    Really? He's got no vertical he plays well below the rim. He looks like he's quick and hAs a nice handle but streetball doesn't translate to ACC ball. I doubt he makes any of those jumpers with a 6'3" guard on him. He's a Gillon highlight film coming out of highschool. Guys like him are a dime...

    Class of 2017 PG Jordan Walker (NJ) Transfer from Seton Hall to Tulane

    He might be a late bloomer but coming from the Patrick school you would have to assume he would have gotten a few more offers from top programs if he warranted it. It not like he's playing for a school no one has ever heard of in the middle of nowhere. It's one of the top programs in the country...

    Class of 2017 PG Jordan Walker (NJ) Transfer from Seton Hall to Tulane

    The kid isnt even ranked by any of the major recruiting services. His only high major offers are Georgia, Kansas State and Seton Hall. Come on you can't be serious. Just because he had one good game don't suggest this guy should be offered a scholarship. I mean he could be a serious sleeper but...
