ok - back to the recruiting board... ah that's better

Wow, what a win! Sure, we aren't going to shoot 60% every game. Some games the little things go the right way (JJ's bank shot 3p), and that is what happened tonight. However, lots of other positives that are repeatable. Played smart to close out the halves. Bell passing up that shot near...

Definitely more than one thing. Willing to give Red a full offseason and next year to sort it out. After all, players change every year.

Unless guys are going to transfer twice (very unlikely, correct me if I'm wrong), we will have the following roster at a minimum Returning players - JJ/Cuffe/McLeod/Westry New freshman - Moore/Freeman Before this recent slump, I was big on keeping Cope/Brown, and everyone else was replaceable...

Agree Chesney should try to make it happen I'd argue coaches have always had way less loyalty than the players, and the players are now catching up

Good take - because you raise some points that often aren't raised Who knows who would have left if JB stayed at the helm? Many thought Judah was off to the NBA. It could have easily been a rush for the exits. The keys weren't handed to Red until after the ACC tournament. Maybe it was known...

Good analysis Looking at the schedule, these next 4 games are crucial (Miami/Florida St/BC/NC State). Sweeping that stretch would do wonders for the resume

Agree 100% One other way to put it, would anyone expect a better record if JB was coach with this roster? The mix of stinkers/blowouts is an emotional roller coaster, but the overall record is absolutely respectable I had us at 21-10 for the Iggy predictions, and that still looks possible...

Keep the Bacot jokes coming, they are hilarious! Agree 100% on a true center - you have to go with Filopowski. Next up would be 3p shooting Thinking some more, I wonder if the staff thought they had a real shot at Dickinson. Always seemed like a pipe dream to me, but would explain some things...

People (myself included) are scarred from the recent JAB lineups where we only went 6-7 deep, and never adjusted during crunch time. Red has done a good job (with some hiccups) mixing up the lineups when necessary. Starters don't matter as much. We have 9 guys averaging 10 mpg. I do like...

Great win! In some ways it would be good if we develop amnesia about the shooting, and don't think we are now the "Splash City" Warriors. However, encouraging to see different players step up (JJ), and winning in different ways. And most importantly this team has an ability to bounce back...

Erie Canal = 78 Tobacco Road = 77 Don't ask me how we do it, but we do!

Agreed - don't have a good feeling about Saturday Feels like a game where Bacot goes 20/20 (with many offensive rebounds) and it will be really frustrating. Not that McLeod would have made much of a difference, but now the task is even tougher

With every game our flaws become even more evident (frontcourt, 3 pt shooting) On the positive side, the Q's are fun to watch. They feel like a tandem that can keep improving, and could be downright scary by senior year. I get vibes of guys that got better every year like CJ, Christmas, and...

Such a great memory - I was at the game and also the year before at UCONN (never seen saltier fans, and a satisfying drive home in the snow)

Bill Curley = 74 Leo Rautins' hair = 79

Worked for Pete Carroll

My favorite line from the article... Over the years, Stellato would watch “Jerry Maguire” before the start of each football season, and he convinced himself that it could be the proper career choice. As he sought clients, Stellato began tracking DeVito at Syracuse, and then at Illinois.

I was lucky enough to see the game live at Cameron last night. Been trying to go for many years and it finally happened. When the wheels started coming off in the second half, my brain quickly switched to thinking - better enjoy the experience of being at such a cool/historic venue and soak...

Kyle McCord = 76 Dan Marino = 69

Fran strikes me as a coach who will use any slight to get the players fired up. Fran's entire background is someone who started from the bottom and earned everything. I get it is a bad grade because he's never been a head coach, and the reporter probably didn't pay close attention to the...

Cool little stat related to Tommy (pasted from ESPN article). And even if he turns out to be the next Devlin Hodges, that is still $2 million more in career earnings! He is just the third undrafted rookie quarterback in the common draft era to win three of his first four career starts...

1 - Starling - a much needed game for him 2 = Mintz - had somq quiet stretches, but put up big numbers 3 - Copeland - contributed a bunch. The dunk itself almost gets him on the list... HM - Hima, was able do a bunch already. If he can get healthy, will be a key person...

Taking it full circle after seeing Soundgarden on page 1 - digging this cover

Hey now - the ink isn't even dry on the Iggy predictions yet! Because it is so early, I'll give him a "B." Sure the team has flaws, but would the record be any better with JB at the helm? It will take some improvement to keep a "B" grade at the end of the year. Interested to see how we do...

The blueprint for winning with team is fairly obvious -Bell and/or Taylor hit 3s, which gives Judah room to do his thing -Effort on defense - turnovers and rebounding If we do both, we can compete with most teams. If we do neither, we won't even beat an average team. This team clearly has...

Lou Reed = 75 Huey Lewis = 71

Awesome interview. He's coming in ready to work hard, and you can already tell he will be great with recruits and player rapport. One part that stuck out is his line about never wanting to be a coordinator. This tells me he's ready to bring in talent on the staff and properly delegate. It...

Eh - Bulldog's info has actually been very useful. Even though it's an Internet forum, he really has no incentive to construct such an elaborate narrative for no reason I'd place even money on JW lying to the press to save face In any case, this is getting way too deep in the weeds. The way...

Mullen was the only one that checked both boxes for chops as a HC and recruiter. Everyone else had question marks of sorts. Whether it was coaching at a lower level, or moving from coordinator to HC - it requires some belief the person can make the leap. I totally get the argument that...

Ever since I was old enough to follow sports I remember some basketball games in 1987. Remember more of the Sugar Bowl in 1988. Auburn's QB was named Burger and he threw a bunch of rinky dink passes. I could not fathom why Auburn would go for a tie instead of a win...

After reading this entire thread, I now understand what it feels like to be catfished Unless JW pulls a rabbit out of his hat, this one will hurt for awhile.

I live in Raleigh - when they were 1-1 (barely beat UCONN) the fans were calling for him to go. This 8-3 season was not at all expected. Man, I wish Cuse had years like that (unexpected 8-3 seasons)

It's like the old ice hockey game on Nintendo. You can't have a team of all small guys, need some variety to win I agree it's a problem, but much smaller problem than a complete lack of reliable scoring and rebounding from the front court

My immediate thought was how the heck do you discover a player like that? Turns out there is an article about it! JT watching random pickup games... crazy stuff...

The challenge here is figuring out if this new regime is "different" or "better" It's clearly different with a deeper lineup, and getting (mostly) away from the zone. Jury is still out on the other question. Tennessee was the better team, but there were stretches where we were hanging tough...

I tried that strategy once with a girl that I liked when started dating someone the same time we met. Sadly (for me), they are now married with two kids. This may work better with the portal, I give you that...

Agree 144% People aren't realizing the growing pains of a new coach. JAB, for many years, had Cuse "punching above their weight." No losing seasons. Great seasons with no real NBA talent. As an coach, he was one of the best. Arguably that part only became a liability in the final few...

1) ACC RECORD. 13-7 2) OUT OF CONFERENCE RECORD. 8-3 3) ACC TOURNAMENT RECORD. 1-1 4) NCAA TOURNAMENT. 2-1 (Sweet 16) 5) LEADING SCORER. Judah Mintz - 17.7 PPG 6) LEADING REBOUNDER: Maliq Brown - 7.2 7) WHO WILL MAKE THE MOST THREES THIS YEAR AND HOW MANY. - Justin Taylor - 56 8) TIEBREAKER...

Epic diss of Georgia Tech by Clemson GT absolutely loathes Clemson, and this is salt in the wound. Instead Clemson chooses Florida State, who could end up leaving the ACC

I've heard great things about the distillery (and town), and had several of their bourbons Everything I've tried has been good. It's pretty well stocked at the ABC stores where I live. They are a new distillery, so many of their original releases were blends with other bourbons. The origin...

Thankfully - I knew all these terms thanks to the Wayne Brady sketch on the Chappelle show Seriously - this is awful for Delonte. Lots of people have been trying to help him, but he may be too far gone...

I think 1-2 is the base case. If you add up the probabilities of victory of each individual game, you should get close to 100%. It feels like this is the year to get it done on one of those tough games. Anything better is gravy and amazing.

Did anyone else notice they had his name as "Marlon Wax" on the screen when they showed him mic'd up on the sideline?

Sadly, that looks to be the case. Such horrible news.

I was lucky enough to meet him around 20 years ago at a ESPN magazine party Figured I would talk to him about the Grateful Dead instead of basketball. He seemed to appreciate that, and was very friendly

It can fluctuate if a team is contention, would call this the long term average SU basketball 40 SU football 30 Yankees 20 Giants (football) 10

According to the Twitter comments, this data only includes the collectives It may be missing several other income streams. Naïve question, does all this data eventually need to be public for tax reasons? I feel like whoever can aggregate this to get accurate figures is going to be a hero

Interesting study there This mostly makes sense, first looking at the guys who left -BJ Johnson was the one guy who really made the leap after transferring. -You can mostly ignore someone like Kaleb Joseph, who barely played at each school. -Jalen Carey was coming off such a low number, it...

For this season, I think the more accurate word to use is intrigued New coach, new players, and potentially many new lineups, schemes, etc. The most recent years were a combination of bad record and a very predictable product on the court. Now every game could be interesting and style could...
