Where did he bolt to? I could never see where he played again anywhere after leaving from SU after only a few games. It was like he disappeared. He went to 3 colleges never finishing his last year here - sad if he at least didn’t get a degree.
Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt.
I have no problem with the Jimmy Boeheim commitment.
He got his undergrad degree from USF. He bolted off to the real world.
Good for him then.
You’re
Last I heard he (Geno Thorpe) was a realtor in Philly.
I agree with you for last year but instead of giving Benny Williams some sink or swim time, the decision was to run with Jimmy Boeheim. it was better for the team at that moment but bad for player development.
Most people don't understand how hard it is to be a high major level college coach and do it for an extended period of time. Recruiting is a huge crapshoot where you are at the mercy of 17- and 18-year-old kids trying to figure out where they want to go away to college and then once they get there do they want to leave. It's gotten so much worse than ever.

I agree with him on this. Akok is coming off a serious injury and we don't know if he is the player that he was in HS. Jim has a class that he feels is his best ever. So lets roll with it see if we can get a true 5 to play backup and call it a day.
Even if that "one year rental" (not implying that is the particular case here) can get us out of our new normal of being nothing more than a middling/mediocre team in our conference?
I was told here 'nobody wants to win more than JB.' So, perhaps someone can explain this to me like I'm a 2 year old.
I think that’s what they’ll do, but they’ll regret it. They boxed themselves in with two unserviceable players. I’m sure they never thought it would matter, but now it does. We’ll just need to be patient next season. It’ll be a long one.
It’s not they. It’s JB. He thinks the schedule is easier this year so the team can get off to an easier start and I guess he believes by the time the schedule gets more difficult the young guys will be ready.
This past season wasn't long enough for you?
Can someone on the staff inform him that the portal makes everyone a 1-year rental option at this point? I am at a loss for words here.
We haven’t seen the schedule yet, and an easier schedule doesn’t help in earning a tourney berth. I suspect he’ll toy early with a deeper bench and eventually declare the young forwards just aren’t ready. I’ll gladly be wrong. I doubt it.
Most of the schedule is out already. It’s only the dates that aren’t set.
I’ll wait until see the entire schedule. And again, an easier schedule doesn’t help in the long run.
A win against a really crappy team has to be better than a loss to somewhat crappy team. Doesn't it?
Syracuse basketball in 2022: Let's hope our schedule isn't too difficult!
He's just laying down his usual negative vibe. Like Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh.
is it published somewhere?
