Autry starts by saying the team is at full health. He says Chance Westry has been practicing full go for two weeks. Autry says they were precautious with his return.

Autry mentions his long-standing relationship with local product and Notre Dame transfer JJ Starling. “I’ve known JJ for a long time. I think I’ve known JJ since he was seven.” Says his son grew up with JJ. He felt like it was a reunion, getting him to come to Syracuse.

Autry admits it is a little weird standing at the podium as head coach, but flashes a bit of humor. “This is the loudest and clearest this speaker has ever been,” he jokes.

Autry says he’ll play deeper than Syracuse is the past. He mentions Quadir Copeland has worked on his jumpshot and Maliq Brown is understanding what he needs to do.

Autry says within the half court offense he at times will have four guys on the perimeter who can dribble, pass and shoot. Sounds like four out and one in at times to me.

Autry says Benny Williams is much improved ahead of his junior season. “He’s gotten a lot stronger, he’s worked on his game. He’s an improved finisher around the basket.” Says he expects Benny to expand his game and be able to shoot from the outside.

That team pic looks a bit discombobulated.

We hire our cuse.com spellchecker as photographer?

It’s not the team picture. It’s a picture Syracuse.com took.

That makes more sense

Great job by Red on that pc. You could tell the nerves were there at the start but he settled in well

I agree. Andy Katz (love him or hate him) also seems to agree.

Any idea who the kid using the crutches is? It's cool he gets to be in a pic with the team.

No don’t know who he is. For over a decade Nick Trivelpiece, a young brain tumor patient, survivor was the team‘s junior mascot. I don’t know if he aged out, perhaps he’s in college now since he‘d be around 18, 19 or if he was JB’s choice and Red has a connection with this young man.
