The thing is we really need him next year.I have a feeling that even if he sits out in 2020, with the 30+mpg he’ll get in 2021 he’ll end up declaring for the draft

Yeah I don’t see him playing in college past 2021 even if he isn’t eligible this season.I have a feeling that even if he sits out in 2020, with the 30+mpg he’ll get in 2021 he’ll end up declaring for the draft

I think the they’re going to pass the one-time exemption immediately anyways and even if they don’t he’ll get a waiver anyways
It might be the quarantine messing with my head but I agree I think we could surprise a lot of people. A more experienced team with JG3 and Quincy taking sophomore leaps can be very good if Alan can give us 12-16 or so a night.So with Alan I’m going to go out on a limb and say we end up ranked much of the season and end up with a seed between 5-7.

Bo playing like he did to close the season would be huge too. Now we just need a season
- Freshman to sophomore jumps from JG and Quincy. Both have chances to be studsWe gain Griffin, Kadary, and Newton while loosing Eli, Goodine, Washington, and Carey and people think we go from one of our worst seasons ever under JB to ranked. How?
Are you talking about people in the transfer portal or overall transfers amongst all students?Actually the far majority of transfers have nothing to do with sports. That is just a subset.
Hughes isn’t coming backDoes Griffin stay if Hughes comes back?
Hughes isn’t coming back
We have 1 open scholly that we offered to Tape and now Ballard. JB pretty much told Eli to leave (his words). Don’t get your hopes upI thought the same about Battle...and the fact that his father wished he came back to Syracuse tells you it is possible right? I give it 10 percent chance of it happening but had to ask

JB wants these kids to be successful. He knows Eli is as ready as he can beI don’t believe JB would ever tell someone to just leave...especially Hughes unless there was some friction somehow which I never heard of any with Hughes
Hughes is still on scholarship and if he decides to stay, he has that scholarship. Syracuse has 13 total scholarships, all but 1 is accounted. If Hughes goes pro, there will be a second scholarship available.We have 1 open scholly that we offered to Tape and now Ballard. JB pretty much told Eli to leave (his words). Don’t get your hopes up
My bad, you’re correct . He’s still not coming back lolHughes is still on scholarship and if he decides to stay, he has that scholarship. Syracuse has 13 total scholarships, all but 1 is accounted. If Hughes goes pro, there will be a second scholarship available.

- Freshman to sophomore jumps from JG and Quincy. Both have chances to be studs
- Buddy improves as much as he did last year
- the last month of Sidibe carries over to next year
- Marek as a senior becomes more aggressive (and gains a pound!)
- Griffin is a better 3pt shooter and rebounder than Eli (Eli has a better overall game though)
- Kadary gives us something we didn’t really have last year, someone who can consistently penetrate the defense and create for others. Word is he is up to 6’7”.
Eli was great but the other 3 guards who left didn’t do much. Everyone is a year better with 5 guys IMO who have a chance to improve significantly ( JG, Buddy, Marek, QG, Sidibe). Griffin was top 10 in the COUNTRY in offense efficiency. 8ppg/5rpg in only 18mpg
We’re a 20 win team If Griffin plays.
Also last years team was much better in ACC play since we were so young to start the season. They got experience and got better.
"Size" of "ifs" certainly debatable, but don't see 7 "huge" ones-That's 7 huge "ifs". I still dont see it.
You never seem to.That's 7 huge "ifs". I still dont see it.
You never seem to.
He told Melo to leave.I don’t believe JB would ever tell someone to just leave...especially Hughes unless there was some friction somehow which I never heard of any with Hughes
This year might tell us nothing about how well we develop talent--because there has never been an offseason like this. And we don't know when they will be allowed back on campus.Based on the recent trends I am confident we will have a season. Hoops yes fball though I'm not sure.
This year will be one where we learn whether we truly can still develop players or not. There is effectively a whole roster that needs to make some major improvements while doing so being stuck in place because of this virus. With Griffin on the court and significant growth from by the sophomore class, the ceiling is pretty high when you also factor in the incoming frosh. The problem is all the "ifs". The floor is no doubt a sub.500 season.
