    What does the PG position look like

    Passes they made (and completed) in high school should not be attempted at this level. They'll learn, or they won't get PT.

    CBS is writing our team off, no tournament

    According to the article, the Orange are going to have trouble scoring, but I don't think so. I'm more concerned with the defense. It's hard for a bunch of freshmen to learn JB's 2-3 zone. It takes time, and they're going to make a lot of mistakes. On the other hand, I think this bunch will find...

    Hughes

    I'm not sure why, but I feel more confident about Hughes in the role than I ever did with Tyus. Something intangible. I also feel better about Quincy in his role than I did about Oshae. Again, nothing I can really put my finger on, but I believe, in the long run, the team is in better hands. And...

    Howard’s Mom

    She absolutely has a right to her opinion. I don't think her public expressions are going to help her son maintain his positive outlook very much, or increase his chances of getting playing time.

    JB's Presser after Daemen

    Seemed like as the presser went on, he thought of more and more stuff his young team needs to work on. He got tired just thinking about it!

    Battle & Brissett Stock Watch

    In my mind, the fact that both Battle and Brissett went undrafted goes a long way to explaining why the Orange have been so down lately. Neither developed the way we expected or hoped they would. Add in Frank Howard and you have a recipe for mediocrity right there, and that's exactly what we've...

    JB: "No end game strategy."

    Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim has no plans to retire, no end-game strategy "“I’m coaching,’’ Boeheim said during an exclusive hour-long interview at the Final Four. “I tell every player the same thing. I’m coaching. I’m not going anywhere. Period. That’s it."

    Class of 2019 C Jesse Edwards (NL/IMG) SIGNED WITH SYRACUSE

    It looks to me like this is the kind of team, athletically speaking, other coaches often turn into fun-to-watch, successful surprises. I think maybe we'll see just how much JB really does have left in his tank, at least from a player development standpoint.

    Serious question, who here would have an easier time accepting...

    Stewart evidently had a good relationship with Hop or he likely would have wound up here. Now that Hop is on the left coast, the number of times we lose kids like that (at least to him) should decrease significantly. I tend to believe that the sanctions hurt us for longer, and in more ways, than...

    Class of 2019 C Jesse Edwards (NL/IMG) SIGNED WITH SYRACUSE

    This was brought up earlier in the thread. Apparently, he's gained at least 10 pounds since January. Maybe 215 now. Interesting. At least he shows an ability to gain weight, unlike Marek.

    Is this the worst NCAA Tournament ever?

    I feel like there have been a lot of games where I'd look at the score and say, "Oh, look! An upset is brewing!" Then, I'd switch the channel only to see the boring favorite pull away down the stretch. So yeah... I feel your pain.

    10 pounds added since January is a good sign. Shows he can gain weight, something one of our current "centers" seems to struggle with.

    This Tournament Really is an Indictment of our Strategy

    Not really, because the bulk of this thread has been about how the zone is outdated and needs to be scrapped. Last year's zone, combined with a even a semi-effective offense, would be formidable.

    This Tournament Really is an Indictment of our Strategy

    Ja Morant

    Unranked. Lightly recruited. How'd we (and most other programs) miss this kid? Just wondering how long it will be until we recruit and actually get a kid of this caliber to come and play at Syracuse? Seems like it's been awhile.

    Please tell me how we are better next year?

    But this is exactly what this board specializes in. When you put it like this, it actually sounds pretty reasonable. They should make a pretty formidable "junior trio."

    Next Year's Starting PG......

    I guess I don't understand why people continue to ignore Carey's own statements regarding transferring. He's not. He'll start next year, unless either JG3, Goodine, or Washington come in and amaze.

    No matter what you think about our HOF coach and whether or not the game has "passed him by," no matter how much or how little you think of our current coaching staff and their ability (or inability) to recruit or develop players, and no matter how much or how little importance you place on the...

    Interesting Quote From Tyus...

    I have no idea if it points to anything, but it is interesting, and whatever else he may be, Tyus isn't stupid. He's got to know he's not good enough yet to be the NBA player he so desperately wants to be.

    Tyus and Frank

    Posts in other threads, as well as recent games, seem to point to an incompatibility between Tyus and Frank on the court this season, and that raises a lot of questions for me... 1. Why did Frank have his best games of the year without Tyus on the court? Is it primarily mental, just because he...

    it's pretty insane that the ACC got 3 of the 1 seeds

    Is it that the ACC was, in fact, very top heavy this year, or did it only appear to be top heavy because the top teams kept beating the lesser teams?
