Well, he'll always have Italy.

Paul participated in two of the four exhibition games ... He splashed 3-pointers versus OXYGEN BASSANO and SIENA SELECT ... Paul also had a rebound and an assist in his first appearance ... He added a steal in the win against SIENA SELECT.

He was Buddy’s friend from Brewster who got to spend a year at SU with his sister who was a grad transfer on the softball team last year. Best of luck.

huge if true

Major repercussions to the guard rotation imho.

Wish him the best though.

 

[GooseMutt]

In a twist of fate we have a multitude of guard options. Good luck to the young man

Well this proves, beyond a shadow of doubt, that Boeheim has lost the team.

 

[sufandu]

I thought he used up all of his eligibility playing football in '80's. Pretty impressive he could play D1 ball at his age though.

Well this proves, beyond a shadow of doubt, that Boeheim has lost the team.

...and the locker room.

Didn't we recruit Paul to get Buddy?

I am really surprised. I know his father thru the women's softball program. He seemed to love SU. I am pretty sure he was a Falk sports management major. He was in every Italy photo and looked very happy, although I was surprised to hear his parents did not travel with the team. His father came to lots of events with both siblings.

I wouldn’t be surprised if after thinkIng it would be cool to play for SU as a walk on, he’s decided he’d rather go someplace where he can get court time.

Good call! And dont blame him -- only one chance to play college ball, no matter what level. Make the most of it.

Was really hoping Paul would be the Jonny Flynn to Buddy's Paul Harris, but I guess that dream is dead.

 

[illestcuse]

Not definite.

 

[jgeorge322]

I laughed at the jokes then realized this kid is pretty talented based on other posts on here and him leaving doesnt help the team and possibly hurts it.

 

[llandz]

We will still see him in Orange this year. Who knows what could happen...He definitely has some talent that could shine through.

How did Bayer do last year at wherever he transferred? Did he get any run?

Not ripping him at all -- but he averaged .02 points for the year, and had 1 assist and 2 rebounds for the season.

Doesn't look like he saw the floor / got PT.

 

[Shrmdougluvr]

He’d be a solid contributor for a Nescac school...maybe.

He may love to play, but everything is going to feel exponentially smaller after being apart of the program at SU. I won’t begrudge his choice one way or the other.

IMO, this photo from the DO story says it all. Total “me-first” player. I mean, Washington is literally pulling him into the team huddle as Paul resists with all his might. Good riddance.

I don’t think you can accurately analyze that pic. We don’t know what was going on when.

• Strong reputation of making big plays at critical moments

Not IN-accurate I suppose.
