Yeah I feel like they aren't being slept on, it's just that no one is talking about them because most have already penciled them in as heading to the finals.

Yeah, I'd still rather have the option than not, but it's definitely not as valuable as it used to be, especially with how early it has to be exercised. I still don't love the idea of trading out of the first round, regardless, unless you're trading for a player or you're trading a future first...

Donation Endows Men's Basketball Head Coach Position As announced at Campus Conversations yesterday, a $1 million gift has established the Wright, III '85 and Cathy Lassiter Endowed Head Men's Basketball Coach. The gift is the first seven-figure athletic gift in College history and the first...

This actually goes into detail on it, and actually argues that they aren't as valuable as they used to be since the value of the option was restructured in 2018, so idk: https://www.pff.com/news/draft-nfl-contracts-primer-how-much-cap-space-teams-need-fifth-year-option-deep-dive-and-more

I don't like trading out of the first round, because you give up that 5th year option. I think you should only be trading that first round pick for either a higher first round pick or a player.

I don't know who's a bigger idiot here - Porter for throwing his NBA career or the guy he was feeding info to. How dumb do you have to be to not think that an $80k bet on a Jontay freaking Porter prop might set off a few red flags?

Everyone in college is 1 and done now - just not to the NBA but to whomever makes them the best offer.

My god, no wonder Lebron bounced outta town without signing with the Knicks. Cringe level 100.

Soup and hot coffee.

Not since 2006 and I don't think there were many people mad about that.

Not to be that guy, but technically Clarence is a good old-fashioned grad transfer, no?

I haven't read the whole thread, but are there actually people that have suggested he could play the 3? That's...a take.

It's not an NCAA rule though, right? It's a student visa issue, I'm pretty sure, which has pretty strict limits on the ability to earn money while in the U.S. (although I could and have been wrong many many times before).

I stayed at the Delano the weekend of the ND-BYU game at Allegiant. Great location for the game and it’s kinda nice to stay at hotel without a casino while also having access to the entire Mandalay property. I didn’t think it was too difficult getting to the rest of the strip with the monorail...

Dude has been on an absolute tear lately. Knicks have a legitimate shot at the 2 seed with games against the Nets and Bulls while Milwaukee has to play at OKC and at Orlando.

It's ok, but it's certainly no Tusk.

This kid is literally playing in the NBA and we're still out here questioning whether or not he belonged at a program like Syracuse. And we're getting mad because there is a solitary thread on a Syracuse message board dedicated to discussing an alum who is currently playing in the NBA. Ok.

I tried to buy the hoodie but the only size available is XS so maybe I’ll buy that and get a Time Machine back to when I was 7 years old and it will fit me. Also, it’s a really exclusive club for the OVO NCAA apparel. Us, UCLA, Kentucky, Kansas and UNC. The Cuse brand still carries weight. Now...

Rochester November 2nd

Yeah and half the time you're connecting through a city that isn't much closer to Vegas anyway, so it's still a 4+ hour flight to Vegas even after your connection.

If you fly the weekend before, it's $273 round trip, so definitely way jacked up for that weekend.

Worst case scenario in 5-10 years the Dome is a post-apocalyptic Mad Max style event center. The wifi and sound system will still be terrible though.

I could be wrong but I assume it's because the upstairs will be an expansion of the concourse which will be above the outdoor walkway & entryway for the first level.

Yeah it could blow up in their face for sure. On the flip side, I'm guessing they never had any intention of keeping him beyond next season and they are hoping that they get an extra motivated contract year Diggs for one year.

I don't know. In 24 years prior to the championship (1978 to 2002), Boeheim landed 12 McDonald's All-American recruits out of high school. In 13 years after the title (2003 to 2015), he landed 8. Doesn't seem like a drop off to me. The real recruiting drop off happened after the 2016 class...

That was a rumor some years ago. Perhaps just a board rumor that grew out of nothing, though. The framework document with a new "campus building opportunity" in that exact spot would probably be the most actual smoke surrounding that rumor, I guess.

Interestingly though, the 2023 refresh document labels this "2017 Campus Framework"

I'd venture that's the previously discussed hotel and/or dorm structure. It is notable that it did not appear in the 2017 version (below) but does appear in the refreshed 2023 version.

Frontier used to fly direct to Vegas from Buffalo (I took it a couple years ago) but it looks like they don't anymore? So now only Southwest does, once a day. Looks like it's around $550 round trip for Thursday to Sunday right now. Breeze flies direct from Syracuse to Vegas but it's close to...

I have a conundrum here because I'm not sure if I will be living in Buffalo still in October or back in Syracuse, so I'm not sure where to fly out of.

Did Malachi Flynn have 50 career points before last night? Only semi-joking. Kind of devalues the 50 point game, IMO.

I enjoy flying Southwest with my brother. He gets claustrophobic so he pops a couple Xanax and throws a hoodie over his head with sunglasses on. Dude looks like the Unabomber. So I'll take the window, he'll take the aisle, and if it's not a full flight, no one ever sits between us.

Risky, IMO.

Yeah probably my biggest problem with all of this is why trade him to a rival AFC contender on the come up with a good (great?) young QB and already competent WR group?

Definitely an entertaining game. Knicks could not get a stop in the 4th and no one besides Brunson could make a bucket.

Because a walk-on that "played" at SU for two years and is not an alum got arrested four years after he left the Hill? Ok.

This is an asinine take. One of the wealthiest neighborhoods in all of upstate New York is literally a half mile from Canisius’ campus. There are plenty of reasons why Canisius wouldn’t be a good fit, but where the campus is located is not one of them.

Hot item on eBay...

John Beilein is the only one.

$1 billion annual salary would be impressive.

Man, if I'm Gerry and my goal is to be a successful head coach that moves up the ranks, I'm still taking the Siena job even if Canisius came in and offered more money.

Poor Marek. They updated the article and offered an editor’s note, but perhaps they should update the thumbnail on links as well.

Don’t look now, but the Knicks are 1.5 games out of the 2 seed.

Agreed, that's why I said it's not a reason to not take the job. I was responding to a post saying that he can "bank money" for a few years even if he doesn't succeed. Just pointing out that's not really true. If his goal was to be a head coach, then this was the most likely path that he had to...

Not that he shouldn't take it because of this reason, but I don't think the HC job at Siena will be a huge pay boost from what he's making as Associate Head Coach at Syracuse. The most recent 990 filing for Siena College had former coach Carmen Maciarello making a salary of $362,450. I know...

In no way do I think that if Gerry does in fact leave, that we absolutely need to replace him with another alum, but Jason Hart is looking for a job now. I assume his name has been mentioned here previously. It does seem like he's a west coast for life guy though, so I'd assume the chances of...

I actually thought the same exact thing last year. From what I heard, all signs were pointing to almost 100% chance he was gone and then bam, he was back.

Without an easy Google search, I'm assuming he is Matt's son?
