Benny Williams

[CousCuse]

Yeah, that’s probably it, Benny isn’t trying hard enough.

Benny's 18, do you think 18 year Orangefog had it all figured out, or do you think that 18 year old orangefog had a lot of stupid ideas?

Benny is a 5 star recruit, he needs to get his head out of the clouds and bear down hard.

The above is an example of the fans who take JBs word as gospel. The fan base is filled with them unfortunately

So your saying its Boeheim's fault that he's not excelling?

Benny should have played more in the beginning of the year, but we struggled so the minutes were not there. Hes going to be a good player hopefully for us. He really needs to work on his shot as a flat shot is death. I dont blame Jim for not playing him much but JB doesnt need to put the kid down in public.

You said “he needs to get his head out of the clouds and bear down hard”.

How would you know what effort Benny puts in, or where his head is? You don’t.

We’ve heard a few interviews from Benny where he sounded mature and understood what he was expected of him. He also seemed to trust the process and is ok being patient and not looking to transfer. We’ve not any heard rumors of him being a bad teammate or complaining about PT.

Then we hear JB come out publicly and say Benny isn’t worth talking about and won’t be playing.

And your response to all of this? For Benny to get “his head out of the clouds”.

So yes, unless you are literally at practice, all you’re doing is blindly trusting and following what JB says.

No, I've heard Benny talk, he is a very intelligent guy that should have no issues understanding the concepts of how Syracuse plays basketball. I've seen him play and he has a superior level of athleticism and many developed skills. He is the best player on this team but it just isn't happening. You tell me why.

The way Syracuse plays basketball? Lower third of the ACC and plays a 6.5 man rotation?

This is why people don't take you seriously.

 

[rhcuse]

What if the NCAA denied Jimmy just to screw JAB. How funny would that be.

If they want to screw him they'll approve it to guarantee a 2nd losing season in a row.

You don't think that Williams has the highest ceiling of any player on this team?

 

[CuseFaninVT]

This is way too typical; not developing players through game experience and then public call outs when they don’t come in and star. This is so very bad for the moral of players!

I don't know.

But that's not what you said.

He is the best player on this team

I’m confused.

You call him the best player on the team but then say it’s not JB fault that Benny isn’t playing? So not playing the “best player on the team” isn’t the head coaches fault?

How can you hold both of thoughts at the same time?

Because he’s trolling and doing shtick

You guys both know what I'm saying. Boeheim wants to get that potential player out of him now, not next year.

[RF2044]

Well it's no guarantee that the extra year will be approved for Jimmy.

That would be the ironic outcome here. JB makes Benny extremely uncomfortable and runs him off, and then Jimmy gets denied the extra year.

Classic.

I don't know what you're saying. I only know what you post. One of the downsides of the internet.

Benny will be 20 in April. His issues this year are not age related.

Classic.

I do think it’s a forgone conclusion that those Ivy kids will get that year back.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

So your saying that he should be able to understand all the facets of the zone and his role in the offense? Or you're just making political statements.

you're

how do you screw up the first instance but do it right the second time through?

Honestly, I have no idea what that poster is...
