Moms not going to like you.

always nice to hear about the Weirdo. any updates on the Quitter?

 

[OrangeDW]

I wish the kid the best, but the Syracuse basketball program is head and shoulders above Seton Hall in every aspect, including player development. Flaws and all, he’d be starting at center getting around 15 and 7 here on 50%+ shooting.

I feel bad for him that he was led astray and made the wrong decision.

led astray? he had a starting position at a blue blood and gave it up to sit out a year for a mid-major, and he waited until august to tell us. he completely screwed us and himself.

Yep. But orangehomer is right. That boy ain't quite right.

Which on the surface makes zero sense. So what does that imply about him and his family? Honestly? I feel bad for him, I’m not mad at him. Those Seton Hall message board goofballs though? Forget them.

The Barksdale organization cut Wee-Bay off while he was locked up, and so his wife pressured their son Namond to sell drugs, even though he clearly wasn’t built for that at all. I get it. Family pressure can be real.

Quite possibly.

I don’t see that as something to celebrate though.

Word. I feel a little bad for him too.

 

[OmahaCuse]

Asked in what I see he would not be playing here. Super low BB IQ, very slow feet and apathetic on defense, seemed lost. He is a bust.

Agreed on his weaknesses. But he still averaged, what...9 and 5 here? He showed real offensive potential. He could shoot and had good footwork.

That he’s only gotten worse in two years...that wouldn’t have happened here IMO. Unless he’s just THAT gone. Even if so, I’m still gonna blame Seton Hall since their dickbag fans blamed his initial weaknesses on Syracuse and talked like he’d be great there and how they were a much better program.

 

[Ghost]

No points in double OT...his three point percentage jumped way, way, way, way up to 25% this year from his Frosh year here. Otherwise, not so impressive.

Totally irrelevant, but I wanted to throw in a classic Omar line: "You come at the king, you best not miss."

Hope everything works all well for the young man. Young

Blue blood? Let's not get carried away.

Blue blood? Let's not get carried away.

fairfax high school won the los angeles city championship last weekend. i met the mother of their backup point guard at a party. when i mentioned my affinity for syracuse she said "oh, wow!" then turned to her friends and said "syracuse is like duke; you hear that name and you know it is big time!"

this is the reality of the perception of the syracuse basketball brand

Blue blood? Let's not get carried away.

Says who?
Only some in our self-loathing fan base choose to denigrate our program.
Everywhere I’ve gone, when i mention I’m a Cuse fan, the reaction is always: “ oh, wow- that’s big time”!

Seriously its a disease. I witnessed it with a very good friend.

If I was a grown man badmouthing a teenager because he decided (for whatever reason) to transfer on an internet message board I’d probably engage in some self reflection. But that’s me and I possess a modicum of self awareness.

There are some posters in this thread that should do some serious introspection.
