We all WANTED Red to work, obviously - if it worked that means Syracuse was in a good place.

Last year was passable for year 1. You could certainly argue the roster wasn’t the best but there’s not much he have done about it. But he got to 20 wins - we beat LSU, Oregon, GTown out of conference.11 ACC wins including UNC.

Judah understandably leaves. Q leaves for a few reasons. Taylor leaves, no big loss there. Maliq leaving was the first red flag. GMac leaves for his shot to be a HC.

Red gets the chance to hire an assistant coach and make the roster “his”. His 2 prized recruits. The portal is filled with hundreds of kids - he has a chance to build his roster. Usually you can only build through HS but not anymore, which should lead to a quicker turnaround. You can watch tapes of these kids who’ve played D1.

He whiffed on it all with the exception of Davis. The freshman seem good but he’s only playing Eli cuz JJ is hurt and he still seems unsure when he wants to play Freeman.

We’ve taken 10 steps backwards from last year and it isn’t even debatable

It looks more and more was a combo of Judah/Maliq and GMac that made last year be somewhat palatable. Once Red got his full hands on the roster and was able to hire his own assistant, it all went to
