good luck, BJ, I hope you find a better situation

 

[OburgOrange]

Best of luck to the young man

 

[Toga]

Whoa

 

[texascpa]

Not surprising. I think everyone saw that coming. Now, that frees up a schollie, right? Even with the sanctions?

 

[iommi]

Best of luck, BJ. We wish you well.

OGBJ, thanks for being a class act.

 

[Orangezoo]

Good luck to BJ and thanks to OGBJ for all his posts and enthusiasm!

I have been a HUGE BJ proponent since the kid signed. Sorry to see him go, and wish him [and his father] the best wherever he ends up.

Wouldn't remotely surprise me to see him go to a Big 5 school, and after a transfer redshirt year [where he has a chance to have his physique catch up to the level of his athleticism] to see him average 17 / 8 / 3 / 2 / 1 as a versatile force on both ends.

The 3 sons down to one son?

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Really wish he had redshirted one year here. I think that would have made all the difference. Sorry to see him go. Good luck young man!

 

[Trueblue25]

Didn't want this to happened. Really believed that BJ would've ended up a better more impactful player for us than Bryant or patterson.

Whatever though, f the NCAA.

Thank you for everything Johnsons.

Couldn't agree more. Kid could have been a very, very good player here. But I don't blame him--instead of this being the end of his RF year, his career is half over--and he an opportunity to maximize the remaining half. Best of luck to him.

 

[djcon57]

Absolutely Best of luck to BJ and to his dad. Will be rooting him on wherever he goes.

All I'll say from our end...I don't feel great about how his progress was handled.

depends on how you read it . . . I am in the (minority) camp that the answer is "no"

 

[OttoinGrotto]

That's a bummer. He's going to end up someplace and average 15 a game.

 

[orange79]

Best of luck to BJ, and many thanks to OGBJ20 for his contributions to this board, and for raising a fine son, not necessarily in that order.

 

[RF2044]

I don't think that's the minority perspective--I think it is just unclear whether the appeal process [and associated temporary freeze in penalties] provides a loophole to squeeze him in.

 

[Alsacs]

I gotta say everything Anomander has said during this whole tough process has bore out to be true. Good luck in your future endeavors BJ Johnson and family you represented the Orange for two years and we are thankful for your time on the Hill. I hope you have a great last two years of playing at another university and will always be a part of the Orange family.

 

[Budley]

I wish him the best no matter where he ends up, I hope Jimmy sets him up in a good place.

 

[Briancuse]

I wished things would have worked out, but its probably the best for BJ, best of luck to him.

 

[moqui]

That's a bummer. He's going to end up someplace and average 15 a game.

yeah, but the assembly line that is Syracuse recruiting meant that it was never going to be here . . . at best, he could have had an off the bench, James Southerland-like senior year

sad to see him go, like RF I had high hopes for him and I think he barely scratched the surface with his talent.

 

[dasher]

It does. That isn't the question.

 

[We Are Syracuse]

Best of luck. Wasn't a good fit especially with sanctions coming up. Best fit for both sides in reality and wish him nothing with the best because I'm sure he's a good kid and obviously has talent to produce at a D1 school somewhere

 

[dasher]

The key was his frosh year. If he had red shirted he would have been a star here. Now, with a year of getting stronger, he will put up strong numbers somewhere else. I wish him the best of luck.
