Why if the staff thought he was coming back? All signs show that Jesse wanted to come back but daddy wants a better NIL deal! The staff was blindsided! Crap Jesse has been around the team etc for various things! Why wouldn’t they think he’s coming back just needed to figure out the NIL. It collapsed and the staff was shocked. Now I have faith in the staff to move forward! I for one am still excited about the future!! LGO!!
Then you have to worry about the staff. This will take criticism, I’m sure, but you can’t read a kid that’s on the fence? Even if he is saying he’s in, shouldn’t you be able to tell something is up?
A little. New coach, same story.
I don't remember him publicly announcing he would be back like some players. I think that speaks volumes.
Great point. Also makes you wonder what the heck our staff was doing
According to the insiders here this wasn’t an issue last week. You can’t anticipate 180s
Yeah this is not on the staff, sounds like a 180 that was out of their control
Looks like Wes Johnson literally.
As concerning as being blind sided by Jesse is... I'm actually more concerned that we don't seem to be in the market for another guard and a forward who can stretch the D. I posted this earlier and got slammed for it but it sure seems like we are okay running it back without Jesse and JG3? If that's the case color me concerned because one of my biggest criticisms of JB was that we wouldn't recruit over starters to upgrade the talent in the backend of his career. I thought Red would aggressively try to upgrade talent even if it means less talent current guys would need to sit?
I don't think any merchandise is less than $100. The only thing $100 gets you is a tongue lashing and a quick escort to the exit.
The Syracuse usual: make a sg(or sf in gbinje’s case) play out of position. starling…
Yes, you can. And you should. You have to be prepared for anything and everything. That’s the job.
Red flag, eh?
They better have fight. He just got a head coaching job at a top 10 program of all time. But it’s not good when your biggest rivals are flourish hung around you. UConn wins #5 and Georgetown made the bigger/better hire and are crushing NIL/transfer portal while we are being blindsided by our best players.
The university and athletic department have to get on the same page with regard to NIL. If they can get that figured out and how to incorporate all the different personalities of donors, then we can compete. But, very rich people may want to do things their way. Can you blame them? So, a compromise has to be found, and quickly. Who knows, if they can get this done, maybe we pull Jesse back in and maybe even Judah if he doesn't get an acceptable guarantee. Then we're cooking again.
