Looking at it through a different lens... what a disaster Syracuse has seemingly been for the ACC.
They sure thought they were getting a different program that what we've given them.
The fact of the matter is that the NCAA actually succeeded in giving our hoops program the death penalty.
It coincided with JB losing his drive and fastball, Hop moving on, not being able to keep reloading as we had kids going pro after first year where peer programs kept NBA prospects for multiple years, and a perennial cloud hanging over the program.
Really need Freeman and Moore to be the real deal next year, and land an impact transfer.
Need to have a legit 25-30 win season next year and go to Elite Eight or further.
Really need the 2025 class to be top five, and pan out
Otherwise we are a slow sinking ship headed for GTown / Seton Hall / St Johns / Providence territory.
What's really going to suck is when UConn wins it all this year, and Rutgers has their best year ever next year.

I know others wouldn’t, but if worse came to worse, I’d be willing to sacrifice the football program to focus all resources on basketball and get back into the Big East. That said, I don’t think it’ll come to that. Red will have us relevant again next year, like Coach Jack has done for the women’s team. JB was mailing it in on the recruiting trail and turned away some potentially great players, 100Miami football and Syracuse basketball have really let the ACC down. I thought for sure we’d be fighting it out with Duke and UNC every year. I thought we’d be third, but a close third and be much more than a thorn in their side. And then 25-0 and everything was so exciting. And then it just turned to dust and hasn’t gotten better.
I have a panoramic of the first Duke game in my office. I don’t see us ever getting to that point.
It’s is the previous ceo gutted this programEmbarrassing that we haven't even made the semis yet
You can thank JB for thatWell we are a football school after all
