So checked to be sure. Benny averaged 4.1 boards in 22 minutes. If more playing time can translate to averaging over 8 boards, coupled with more points (this year averaged 7.2 per) it could work. Need him to be a 12/8 guy at the 4.
No. Discussions have been had with players long before they officially enter the portal.
Joe has to be out. JJ would be coming here to start with Mintz. I appreciate what Joe brought the past few years but he does not fit where this team is going.
Everywhere you read it’s predicting Starling coming back home to Syracuse.
100% agree
Oh I think so too, but I think most would agree that it'd be a pretty aggressive move by Autry to basically push Joe out so early on. Not saying it can't or shouldn't happen but I'd definitely be intrigued.
Solid relationship with Red and our assistants along with the possibility of teaming up with another star in Judah in his hometown. No more exclusive zone (these kids care about that because of the negative recruiting against us being a zone team over the last decade) and yea id say we have a good shot!
I know this might be shocking, given the bastion of cleanliness That is the NCAA, but there are probably some back channel conversations before people hit the portal.
Would be a phenomenal move IMO and an extremely promising sign that Red knows the type of player we need
100% this happens. Handlers/family members/former coaches etc can talk with anyone
Yeah, people needed to look beyond the stats to understand the type of player JJ is. Physical, athletic, dynamic combo/scoring guard. He and Judah will put a lot of stress on defenses just off of dribble penetration alone.
JB had mentioned that a number of players heading to the transport portal had reached out to SU.
