Rothstein really went out on a limb there. In related news, there's a strong chance that Boeheim plays only the 2-3 Zone next year.
That raises an interesting question. What would our lineup look like if we played man to man? Chukwu probably would be riding the pineRothstein really went out on a limb there. In related news, there's a strong chance that Boeheim plays only the 2-3 Zone next year.
Well, once we get Thorpe, there's a good chance he might be wrong on 2/3 or possibly all three.

How come this thread title doesn't have "Signed LOI with Syracuse" or equivalent?
Frank is your game 1 starter. You could bet your house on it. Game 10 though... Who knows.Well, once we get Thorpe, there's a good chance he might be wrong on 2/3 or possibly all three.
Please don't bet your house on that. I don't think Thorpe comes here to sit. And seeing that he is almost surely the better player...Frank is your game 1 starter. You could bet your house on it. Game 10 though... Who knows.
I think he's going to mostly ride the pine anyways. Fully expect TT or Sidibe to start at C.
Well done! I am equally enthusiastic about him but my enthusiasm for Brisset and Dolejac supersede him but I truly believe we picked up a great unproven classSidibe is a lot better than Chukwu. I guarantee that. I couldn't care less that I haven't seen BS play one second of college ball. He's better. Sidibe played many games against tough competition and thrived. Guys like Deng Gak amd even Nick Richards. I'm not sure what JB will do with our lineup, but Sidibe is miles ahead of Chukwu in every facet. At the very least, Bourama has coordination of his arms and legs. I know that's brutal towards PC but I'm just speaking the truth. Hopefully, Chukwu will be more comfortable and understand his role as a guy who just needs to use his height. That's it. Just stay in the paint and play tall.
Sidibe has a high hoops IQ, runs well, has good hands (he can finish layups with both; I've seen it with my own eyes) and can defend. He's more than capable of making a 15 footer. He is a mediocre foul shooter but his form is fine. He needs to work on his strength. He is thin but not skinny. Think senior year BMK. That could be an issue this year and I don't think he will be a big scorer this season but he can chip in. He will get BMK comparisons but he has better hands and is a more capable offensive player. Defensively, Baye wasn't a shot blocker but he really played the middle of the zone well, especially in help defense.. Sidibe is a shot blocker, so to me, that mitigates PC's only strength, when comparing the two players.

Do you think he has enough lower body strength to establish position on both ends? You have seen him more than me, this is my biggest concern. I love his potential. I think TT will be the starting center interesting to see if someone else steps up as the backup.Sidibe is a lot better than Chukwu. I guarantee that.

Do we have a nickname for Bourama yet?
Can we call him CarMax? Or Weebee? Am I the only one who thinks of his name when I see this?

Had to google to be sure but the dude on the left played Stevie Kenarben's father, Abe, on 'Malcolm in the Middle'. One of my favorite all-time shows & Stevie's one of my fav all-time TV characters.Do we have a nickname for Bourama yet?

Please tell me that there's a better option than starting Chukwu this season - the program can't be that bad off right now.
