Alan Griffin transfers to Syracuse.

So, the d--k kick?​

d--k kicks come in many forms.

Or so I'm told.

Or so I know.

Rothstein is such an asshat. He used to be amusing but his takes are consistently terrible and he adds nothing of substance to anything, ever.

When was he amusing?

I Miss the old Jon...the one that spread rumors about players' heights.

When I thought his entire persona was a shtick

 

[UpstateSM]

he’s not wrong

Complaining about the NCAA handing out immediate transfer waivers in the middle of a global pandemic is such a moronic hill to die on

I don't think hes trying to die on the hill, hes just trying to be funny.

The schtick got old in 2012.

Well, and Kaleb Joseph “shooting the blood out of the ball” in preseason practices.

Guess that’s why he sucked in the regular season - anemia.

 

[HOFCeluck]

Listening to Rothstein talk he does know college basketball but that is definitely overshadowed by his ridiculous, repetitive schtick.

Laughed so hard at this hahahahaha

I follow him on twitter (yeah I'm a masochist ok) and his expanded repetitive shtick has become trumpeting bad movies as must-see and intricately describing food at various Italian restaurants like he's Mario Batali

Sounds more and more like the Dick Vitale of the Internet.

 

[UpstateSM]

Getting some work in at the top of the zone

Geez, he's such an azz-kisser. Vitale's schtick grows more tired, more stale as the years go by.

Admit it. When Vitale finally retires, it won't be the same.

Can't come fast enough! Like I said, he wore out his welcome w/ me a long, long time ago. I think it was the first time I decided that muting him during one of his "look at me! look at me!" rants, made the game a much more pleasant experience. That and the constant circle-jerk of Duke and Kentucky basketball which exposed him for the shill and hypocrite he is. Good riddance!

 

[ORRange]

I'm not a fan but Vitale is right. What's the holdup, everyone moving closer to home should be automatic. I hope he touts his horn more, maybe Bilas will soon be on board.

If he gets a waiver, what will be Alan Griffin’s impact on the team this season? First offensive option and leading scorer? Second or third leading scorer? Does he definitely start ahead of Quincy? How long will it take for him to adjust to the SU systems?

Based on his production as a soph at Illinois, and assuming improvement being a year older, and more minutes...I think good chance he’s first or second leading scorer.

I think he starts over Quincy because we need a 3rd 3 point shooter on the court. Quincy, Marek, and Sidibe in there together would’ve been fine in 2000. Not in 2020 though.

Agreed. He's going to have a big season...just hope there is one

He’s not as well rounded as Eli - but he’s a better 3pt shooter and rebounder. He won’t be able to create for himself as often as Eli did so he’ll rely more on JG to feed him. I think it’s reasonable to expect 32mpg, 15ppg, 7rpg and 40% from 3

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Alan Griffin.

Political discussions are welcome on the OT board.

Sounds good to me!!! With another guy bringing in those numbers this team will be a nightmare to guard from the three point line

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

I like Vitale.

Might be time to keep him to one game/week and he was too front and center for a time but he brings a lot of energy.

I also miss ESPN prioritizing college hoops which coincided with Vitale being everywhere. I think everyone who works there deserves to be fired for getting rid of the 24 hour marathon.

There is no reason to deny any waivers this year. The friggen rule would be gone if not for the pandemic.
