You won't beat Louisville unless you outspend them.

Louisville won't be outspent.

Come on now.

You need a competitive budget, sure, but this is too much.

Louisville won't be outspent.

Except by Kentucky

 

[hoopsupstate]

Who will be the center is the main question for Syracuse and it’s ceiling next season

We still need more than just a center. I think it’s safe to say the current roster is less talented than last years roster.

Louisville just spent 9 million on those two. That was 70% of D1 teams entire budget last year. College sports are so cooked.

Yes, though those other moves don’t matter as much if they don’t have a good center. Last years roster had more individually talented players. This roster is a good center away from being an overall better roster. Not as much on paper flashiness.

Patience. Portal door just opened. Gmac knows what he is doing. Give him some time to cook

We’ve been simmering for a long time. We want a full boil

Gee I thought Papa John’s was in trouble.

To be fair, their quality of pizza has dropped quite a bit in recent times

Long NBA career if he gets better defensively.

A lot easier to sell your fanbase and tax payers on this when down the road in your own state Kentucky is dropping 22 mil a year.

A lot of schools want to compete but some will sell their first born if it meant beating their in state rival. Etc UNC and Duke. Also LSU type schools.

Long NBA career if he gets better defensively.

Illinois doesn’t play a whole lot of defense but they’ll drop 95 points a night.

Just to let everyone know yes talent helps but just because your ranking is good in the portal doesn’t mean success.

They did lock it down for some games in the tourney

This kid can shoot it

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Never knew Syracuse was involved here. Would have been a good option at Center.
