Awful opinions you've had (kinda OT)

Here's my all-time favorite:

I just KNEW that the '09-10 team was going to suck after losing Flynn, Devo, and Harris. I was so sure we'd get enough hype to hit #1 with them, but nope, without them, we'd be lucky to be a Top-25 team, let alone #1. The exhibition loss to LeMoyne only proved I was right. I even remember talking to my dad after that game about just how bad and unexciting this team was going to be.
 
I thought Todd Burgan was going to be the next Michael Jordan.

I thought Ramel "Rock" Lloyd would literally pulverize opposing guards into a pile of blood and guts on the way to 2 consecutive SU titles.
 
I thought MCW would play more in the D-league than NBA last year.

I thought Wes Johnson would be a solid fourth best player on a good NBA team.

I thought Doug Marrone was going to be a lifer here.

I thought the Mets should have kept Ike Davis, not Lucas Duda.

After watching the Canada games last year, I thought I saw a point guard who was going to be a four year favorite that was our next Gerry McNamara in terms of being awesome in college but not fast enough to go pro (at least as an early entry).

I admit to all of those except for the Mets one. With all due respect, I'm a Braves guy.
 
The people on this board wrong?!? :eek::confused::crazy:

Greg Robinson: "Here comes the 'A" team."

"We don't need Michael Vick because we got Madei Williams and Malik Campbell"

"We don't need Alonzo Mourning because we got both Richard Manning and Dave Siock"

"Keep Ike Davis: get rid of Lucas Duda!"

"So what if we lost to Tennessee on that late field goal? We're going to run the table! And McNabb will win the Heisman!"

"This is Doug Marrone's dream job. He will be football's Boeheim or Desko."

"Rafael Addison will make it big in the NBA"

"Pearl Washington will make it big in the NBA."

"Billy Owens will make it big in the NBA"

On hearing we 'd recruited Lawrence Moten: "Why do we need another 6-5 guy?"

"John Wallace will make it big in the NBA"

"Winfred Walton /Rock Lloyd / LeSean Howard/ Dedrick, (Etan) Thomas/ Jason Hart will be our version of the Fab Five."

"Preston Shumpert will make it big in the NBA"

"Warrick is better than Anthony"

"Dayshawn Wright is a man among boys."

"Paul Harris is a BEAST."

"Jonny Flynn will make it big in the NBA"

"Rautins will make it big in the NBA" (both)

"Wes Johnson will make it big in the NBA"

"Michael Carter-Williams isn't ready for the NBA."

"Connecticut is in the rear-view mirror."

Why does anybody listen to me? :noidea: (Especially about the NBA)

I called TRob 'Melo lite' based on the game all 4 recruits played in across the street from Lemoyne College before the basketball season started. Saw him hit about 4 0f 6 3s in warmups.

I remember leaving the Dome in Nov. 2003 after our first exhibition and thinking that Roberts was the next Derrick Coleman. He looked just like him, could run the floor, hit a couple medium range J's - I was so excited.
 
A random one i remember is I thought Carlos Boozer was going to be nothing as an NBA player. Thought he benefited from all the talent around him at Duke.

I am guilty on the lucas duda/ike debate.
 
"Well, they both can hit the long ball but Ike is a natural first baseman..."

Ike is the better defensive player , but Duda is really in an offensive grove these days.

There's not a single brave soul who wants to admit they were wrong about UConn last year? Is that the elephant in the thread? :)
 
Jimmer fredette was gonna be a star in the nba.

After the GTown game in 2013 at the Verizon center I said no way Syracuse makes it past the first weekend in the NCAAs.

Keita would transfer before he even got here because I thought he'd never see the court

The 'not pulling up your socks' penalty came at a bad time.
