Guess this thread fits as well as any for this.

Hard to believe that was SEVEN years ago...

Seems longer to me

On paper this is a pretty loaded team...

Agree. This is the least hype I recall for the team/tourney but they actually look to have a group that should be able to really compete.

Looking forward to hearing about the scrimmages with the current team.

I would pay to watch those.

At the least, there should be some videographers out there when BA scrimmages against the SU basketball team.

It would be nice to watch some video when reading the impressions the BA players got from scrimmaging. Might even be nice to hear when the SU players thought scrimmaging against the BA players.

The school doesn't allow that. They also don't allow anyone to watch.

I get restricting things so no fans are allowed.

It is a shame they don't allow video. Don't see where they would hurt anyone.

The trash talking might be NSFW.

Agree. One of the reasons I suggested a video (not a live feed).

It is a shame something like this, which so many SU fans would love to see, will go largely unseen or unreported on.

Donna and Mike, please write this up big this year. With all the new players and the new head coach, the fanbase is starving for news. Every quote you can get from the BA players would be greatly appreciated.

They will try. That I can guarantee you.

Hmm, sounds good but does this mean somebody is out?

I thought he was already announced and this is just a more formal welcome.

More boring team assembled. Looking more forward to the Syracuse/Gtown alumni game.

I was very much not excited for TBT but now that I’m watching D3 give the Kansas team hell I remember how friggin awesome this tournament is. So good every summer.

5 guys who didn’t play for Syracuse.

Of those who did, 1 barely played and then transferred out, 2 of them transferred in for one year, one left after 1 year of college where he played like 10 games. Even Chukwu transferred in.

He was here a few years so there’s a little more attachment, and otherwise Battle and Christmas are the only ones that were all Orange and here multiple years.

Not the same as the early days when Lawrence Moten was player coach and the roster would only have 1 or 2 guys from elsewhere, and the roster was filled with 3-4 year guys like Warrick, Pace, Devendorf, Nichols, Roberts, Jackson, Southerland, Triche, etc. I had way more fan attachment to those guys.

Wow Langford still out there...

Chris McCullough’s knee injury triggered depression. How therapy aided Boeheim’s Army forward

McCullough, once a coveted high school recruit who played one season for Syracuse, is returning to the region to compete for Boeheim's Army.

As bad as my Yankees are playing and make no mistake about it they are a dumpster fire, I’ll watch them if they are on at same time as a BA game.
TBT needs to make this an alumni only affair.
TBT was kind of cool to begin with but just doesn’t get my fandom engine roaring anymore.
