2024-25 Portal

We recruited Ian Jackson hard in HS. Went to UNC. Now Pitino lands him in the portal. The kind of guys you need to win if you want to play with the big boys. Slick Rick does it again. Jealous.

Even when you say something positive, you still have to take a jab at Red.

It’s not taking a jab. It’s stating the obvious. I don’t feel confident yet that he can coach our guys up to their potential. I hope to be proven wrong this coming season. I’m finally starting to see some light here give me a break. Not everyone is a born optimist.

You can do it if you have NYC $ including the very public Mike Repole.

I didn't take it as a jab, FWIW and generally agree with what you said. Not sure why people are triggered by stating the obvious.

Maybe a possibility if he gets another year and Deng doesn't happen. Seems to fit the profile of what they want.

Some people on this board are fixated with negatives about Autry. He's so bad that 4 stars Kiyan Anthony and Sadiq White wanted to attend SU this year and our top two players from last year elected to stay. Everyone complained about JB's outdated zone defense which was a negative in our recruiting. We get a coach that is moving SU away from the zone, thus resulting in improved recruiting.

Miserable season, but the players on the court were sub standard and with a subpar NIL we were handcuffed in who we could bring in. Red needs to get better players in the portal which it looks like he has done, and then show that he can coach with a more quality team on the court. Didn't SU sin 20 games his first season but I guess he forgot how to coach after that.

Jeff Goodman is not funny.

Jeff Goodman is not funny.

He's not wrong though.

 

[CardiacCuse]

i dont understnd the logic of going after another 6 8 guy when you hvae 4 of them on your roster already but have no one taller than that...why not go for some actual height a la 7ftrs?

forwards and guards are set...its center that is the question mark

Robbie Hummel entered the transfer portal?

You think those guys are coming here cause Red is a good coach. Oh boy.

I don’t try to fixate on Red’s negatives but show me some positives to look forward to after last season.

Relying on better players to fix your coaching is like putting lipstick on a pig.

we are looking at a stretch forward from cincy. hoping we got our eyes on higher prospects as it seems we should have a decent amount of $ left. who knows.

Any chance it’s Dillon Mitchell from Cincinnati/Texas? He still hasn’t committed anywhere and posted some good numbers, but not really a shooter.

Probably needs the waiver from a nursing home

If he doesn't want to make it about him, and donate his money to a collective, he could do that at any time. I have no idea who donates to the collectives, so it is what it is.

But if he just wants to use SU as his personal PR factory, I'm not interested.

I guess the Lally’s didn’t put their name on the football building.

So disappointed that these talented players didn't have the benefit of your coaching. We definitely would have been dancing if Wildhack had just seen your hidden talent.
