Boeheim's Army / TBT 2021

[Windyfly]

Wow Boehiems Army is NOT playing around this year, great to see.

This team has a great mix of youth, veteran leadership, athleticism, shooting, ball handling, rebounding, defense, toughness, and talent. This teams looks to be the hardest out in the tournament.

The guys we have added are elite, like Eric said...this team is Elite and we still have one more high profile yet announced. I don’t know about you guys, but I’m really excited to watch these games and watch us take home the title!!

Kane and Devo on the same team. That is some serious trash talking game

 

[pwong]

I remembered he was very good at Iowa State. He should be a solid addition.

I remembered that he was so good at Iowa St because he was like 24-25 as a grad senior lol.

 

[SUFan44]

They could use McCollum & DJ Kennedy. Those two would be my picks. Kid from Arizona wouldn’t be bad either.

Edit: DeAndre Kane would be great also

 

[4evaOrange]

Didn’t he play against us one year while at Marshall and put up some good numbers on us?

I know they want to win to grab the money. All the power to them for that. But as a fan I'm not as interested as they add more guys without a SYR pedigree. That's the big appeal to me, watching the SYR guys rep the Orange again. The more non -SYR guys they bring in, the less inclined I am to be interested and engaged with it.

While I would love all Syracuse guys it’s a lot more fun when they advance past the first one or two games, and the way the team has been structured the last few years with all ex-orange players has not been working so a change was needed.

the core is still Syracuse so I really have no qualms with it.

Belbey talked about reaching out to some of the SU stars that we would like to see on BA one day... Melo, Dion, Battle, Wes (tried talking him out of retirement), Ennis (coming back from injury), Rak (was committed to play but got hurt).

It's tough. If say there was a mini league or they did round robin groups and then a tourney I would agree more as you get to enjoy the nostalgia of favorite Cuse players for a few games for sure. Instead you see some guys in great game shape and form and others that are a shell of their former selves and it ends up being a frustratingly quicker exit.

Any idea why Kane wasn’t back on his former TBT team?

They aren’t OSE fielding a team this year, not sure why.

It'd be nice if he actually got the team name right.

Army of Boeheim?

Army of Boeheim?

Weitzman's Warriors?

 

[OrangeXtreme]

 

[Cusesky8214]

Nice!

 

[Orangezoo]

There is the extra beef.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Weitsman is not screwing around.

 

[Cuse1055]

So is it now possible for Weitsman to really help out SU like he is Boeheim’s Army?

 

[two3zone]

I’d rather lose with our guys than win with this team.

I guess i can understand some people thinking like this but is it any different than your favorite pro team signing a hired gun to get over the top. I'm a Cubs fan and when they sacrificed their top prospect to get Aroldis Chapman for a few months did anyone care when they hoisted their 1st WS win in over a century? Let BA win it once and then worry about it. Can you be happy for these guys who probably need the cabbage.
