Probably curfew issue again.

Of course, we had some really bad games, but had some structure. We have a little more talent now and look like we all met for the first time at the park.

Where is there more talent? Jesse vs Naheem? JJ vs Joe?

Yes?

If it is booze related lame by Red pretty sure he’s 21 and even if he isn’t who cares he’s in Hawaii and probably needed/wanted a few Mai tais. Lots of athletes play better with light hangovers as well.

I’m totally cluelesss and unconnected just putting that out there.

He’s not on a personal vacation. He’s on a University sponsored trip and is representing the University. That makes a difference.

 

[BomberOrange]

Yes?

Cool….Good to know who’s opinion to ignore

This is 100% true.

For the last 20 years I always used to say JB treats his kids like men and it brings personality. What recruit wants to be curfewed at 9 at age 23 as a 5th year senior?

Was that the issue for today?

 

[oTTo113445]

idk but I would clean house of the athletic director also if it was. Its fair and sucks for new recruits, but its treating returning players like merchandise.

Every work trip I’ve ever taken ends with drinks in the bar in the evening.

This board likes to keep the real reasons under wraps so I’m just speculating. I believe this day and age 420 is straight up allowed if these young adults so chose but may be a team rule as well that’s only going to be broken.

This isn’t a work trip, he’s a student a part of a team.

They’re in Hawaii. Let them have a little fun.
We were gonna lose these games anyway. Lol, KIDDING. Hope it’s not a big deal. We need Benny on the roster if we have any chance of being good this season. He played pretty well against Tennessee.

 

[AZOrange]

This ain’t about “having fun”.

If you're playing at 9:30 in the morning (Hawaii time), you better be in your room by 9 PM the night before.

9:30 AM tipoff usually means a 6:30 AM wakeup, 7:00 AM team breakfast in the hotel, and arrival at the arena approx 8:00 AM for a shootaround.

 

[PoppyHart]

Are we treating kids like amateurs or professionals these days? I keep forgetting.

I’m glad RA is handling this and not claiming his hands are tied. This team could use some discipline it seems.

 

[CusefanATL]

The Syracuse I remember was a farm league 1-5 seed 2 out of three years and usually a 6-16 the other.

Benny had the seniority alone at the end of last season once Jessie left and Hima disappeared from the roster. He just got ripped out of the high post in this new system, and the zone. Maybe Jessie didnt leave for the money?

A coach has lots to handle does adding new team rules make it easier? But we make excuses with everything else that's knocking us down. It should go both ways a bit.

Dont see what possibly could of happened in 7 hours, but its pretty rare you hear x player suspended by our opponents. Just saying.

I'm knocking on wood its just a injury because I think he made the Jr leap but never the sophmore.

I wonder if this was a rule that could of been made just for new recruits and messed with our starting lineup at the beginning of the year.

He was late for the morning walk through/meeting/breakfast and led to a blow up argument…. If I were to guess what would have happened. Occam’s razor.

 

[NorSyr66]

you're in hawaii...just say "jellyfish "

"no comment is the most disturbing comment of all"....jellyfish said that!

 

[grepal]

Yep, makes it sound like it’s more than a back issue, which goes along with what I heard.

Maybe he is hanging with Angel Reese.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Donna said on Axes pod that possibly a minor team violation policy.

I’m done with this kid. He doesn’t get it.

What the hell are you talking about? Your posts are rarely decipherable.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

If anyone knows what this is actually about I’d appreciate a pm.

 

[bevosu]

Not impressed with a couple of the player's attitudes. There's more than one head case on this roster.

 

[Cuse181]

Was he the head coach? No. We were recruiting with our hands tied behind our back. You may not like it but assistants going up against another head coach….its not easy closing the deal. Our recruiting suffered as JB put less effort in. That’s reality.

So the portal excuse is??? I just want to know for next year

 

[SmilinBob]

I get that people want to know what's going on but maybe it's really just none of our business. Sometimes things need to stay within the team, whether fans like it or not.

Some people get upset when Jim threw a player under the bus and some get upset when nothing is said. I realize how and when you say something matters but to be honest Red has to do what he thinks is right and if that is what you say, within the team, that's the way it is.

 

[tipphill]

maybe he needs some professional support of some type. whatever it is i hope he gets what he needs. such continued turmoil is not good for any one.
