Love these...

"I think freshmen are more ready today,” [URL='http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2003/basketball/ncaa/specials/preview/2003/impact.mainbar/index.html']Boeheim told [I]SI[/I][/URL]. “But I think as we go on, we're probably going to start to realize how special Carmelo really was.”

[B]Boeheim on Carmelo Anthony:[/B] “Carmelo Anthony was the player of the year in college basketball last year in my mind and anybody that knows anything about basketball’s mind. You don’t lose those guys and expect to be as good. We’re going to have to work really hard just to get close. He did everything. There’s really virtually few, if any players I’ve ever seen in college basketball who have been able to shoot the three and rebound as well. He could pass the ball probably as well as any forward who’s ever played college basketball. He could handle the ball, make plays as well as any forward that we’ve ever had and any that I’ve ever seen. The reality of Carmelo Anthony is if he was voted Player of the Year in every poll, which he should have been, everybody would be talking about it a little differently. Just because you don’t get those votes doesn’t mean that you weren’t. He was, by far, the best player in college basketball. It wasn’t even close. Nobody was even close to him last year in college basketball. That’s the bottom line.
