Who pays for Eddie’s flight to cuse?

I think we do.

dasher who are you expecting to be our starting point guard?

 

[dasher]

I think he is very good. But I think more so, the name will do wonders to rejuvenate the fan base and the casual fans. More interest, will result in more money for the program.

I looked up the assistant coach thing. And didn’t see anything online. Any idea why we have not hired two non recruiting assistant coaches? Any idea if that is Reds decision? Seems like a no brainer to get as many coaches as posssible. Even if they can’t recruit. Help with game planning, philosophers, in game decisions, etc.

I would want as many guys as we can get. Having said that, it isn't like we are going to go out and get a D or O coordinator that is a maven for us. I think it will be more entry level positions. But I agree they should be filled. And they probably will be.

Carlos. The coaches like him a lot more than most of our fans do.

Not many programs have based on looking at their staff directories on line. Looks like Duke and UNC are the only two in the ACC. I sent a question to Mike Waters for his mailbox last week. We will see if he has an answer.

you should include freeman and moore in the class...and you should also include the returning players

I much rather pick up players that fit and want to be here and buy-in etc than flashy names with high rankings who play me me me ball

The discussion was about portal transfers and the ranking of that specific group.

I did also make specific note that group transfer rankings are pretty much irrelevant, because they don't factor in what a team needs, freshman/HS class, and how many are lost.

I don't think anyone disagrees—we all want 'buy-in' players. But, we also can't ignore talent.

Why does EVERY SINGLE thread end up like this now? EDDIE

Carlos. The coaches like him a lot more than most of our fans do.

Do you think cuse gives Autry 3 or 4 years to turn the ship around for our program

I see how he could make us flow better on offense. Does he strike you as similar to John Gillon?

Kihei Clark is the mold of PG he is to me. They do some things differently stylistically and Clark was extremely quick but that’s the mold.

FWIW he had a higher BPR on that Hofstra team than Dubar ( it was close).

isn't this another thread?

Oh yeah: If we don’t make the tournament next yr, is Red gone?

Yes. Unless we fall off the floor.

 

[dasher]

By the way, we are good here.

 

[Orangezoo]

By the way, we are good here.

 

[jordoo]

By the way, we are good here.

Wait, you’re telling me he came all the way to Syracuse to finalize things and get started?

 

[OrangeXtreme]

He's sending Lampkin to apartments.com

 

[CuseTG2003]

He's sending Lampkin to apartments.com

Well played

 

[rrlbees]

It's hard to see what's happening with football and not wonder why basketball seems to be flailing.

A few reasons. One, the HC was named the #1 recruiter last season. Two, the DC was named the #1 recruiter the season prior. That’s a pretty good start. Then one person alone brought in more NIL for football than probably all the rest of SU sports combined brought in including MBball.

 

[Toga]

Who pays for Eddie’s flight to cuse?

I believe it is Bees.

 

[IthacaMatt]

Kihei Clark is the mold of PG he is to me. They do some things differently stylistically and Clark was extremely quick but that’s the mold.

Clark is really tiny, though. I don't see Carlos as that small.

 

[dasher]

Wait, you’re telling me he came all the way to Syracuse to finalize things and get started?

Yes. That is what I am telling you.

 

[dasher]

I believe it is Bees.

That guy. He is sending me to Vegas.
