So let's think this through. IF this is a case of an agent or shoe company rep flashing som $$$ promises around last night what are the chances that Baz is the ONLY player who will bite? The statement about being the first and starting the trend tie in with that as well. I'll be interested to watch this one develop.
 
Respect the kid for following his dreams but the coaches and players were caught with their pants down. Hate how Bazley went about this. Left the Cuse coaches completely out of the loop. My guess some fishy people were in his ear this week and he fell for everything they told him. College basketball for ya

Why are people offering a kid money to play basketball "fishy"? There's nothing illegal about making money playing a sport. Agents can legally hook kids up with cash.

This sucks for us as fans, but it's not the end of the world.
 
Conflicted on this. Never for a second did I think this was a possibility. Disappointing as it does truly us.
BUT, I think he is the first real domino to fall in changing the landscape, someone had to do it...

Hurts us right now but if it becomes a trend it will hurt the dukes and Kentucky’s more hopefully.

Why do I have to respect the kid? He committed then backed out at the last minute. Didn't play a minute for the orange. Actually screwed over the basketball team. I have no reason to respect anyone that doesn't earn my respect.
 
Wonder what goes through battles mind now He he like I’m out the door for sure or. If I stay the spotlight is mine again and I love my guts too

He owes us nothing...and we owe him nothing, including respect.
 
Let me try this on for size. Bazley talked about how comfortable he felt at Syracuse. And then he learns from Moyer, everything isn't as rosy as he thinks it is.

Highly doubt Moyer had any impact. More likely Bazley showed his scatter thinking when he decommitted from his first school. The article claims he is mature but he keeps appearing to act like a child who cant make his mind up
 
This was our best recruit in a decade.

We have a big time problem.
Our coach needs a filter he won’t develop.

Next year is now another bubblish season.

We have no depth again.

I can’t believe how we are losing players left and right like this. It’s a disgrace

More than a decade.

Boeheim is a great coach but I’m sick of this.
 
Bazley said the following:

“I’m aware that this might start a trend and that’s one of the reasons why I am doing this,” Bazley told Yahoo Sports. “I’m outspoken and I like to speak on things. This is me speaking through my actions, speaking through my character. This is going to happen down the road and become more common. But someone has to start the fire — and I believe I’m going to do that, and it’s very important to me."

Well, congratuf'inglations - great trend, screw the school you signed with. I hope kids don't follow in those footsteps. I'd be a lot more OK with this if he decided it 3 or 4 months ago. Now we're up a creek and need to find a grad transfer, or much lesser recruit. Just disappointed in the way this played out. Frustrating to say the least.

yes his trend is back stabbing and not sticking to comittments. Soft!
 
he sounds like an intelligent kid(in general, not necessarily about this decision), but any chance he wasn't going to qualify?
 
JB and the guys just need to buckle down here in the spring/summer time and get to work. Replace him with a grad transfer and hopefully land a sf/pf tweener and we'll make it work

There is no replacing that talent. We will be mediocre to bad next year. Again.
