Cole Swider returning ???

[Capt. Tuttle]

He does.
But I don't think we want him doing that on 20 FGA

Wouldn’t need to if he is at 40%. 5/12 from 3 and a couple of FGs and FTs. Done

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Yes he does. I have strong suspicion that Benny is going to show he is a far superior athlete than one dimensional Swider. Swider is a placeholder for Benny. Swider if he does not shoot well, he is basically a 35 minute player who gets a couple of rebounds. Benny is the 3 year future starting next year. On defense Swider plays on roller skates.

Would rather have last year’s Swider than last year’s Benny. Superior athletic ability doesn’t make you a superior basketball player. (Paul Harris v Andy Rautins, for instance).

That would be great, and where are the other 35-45 pts coming from in a roster of unprepared freshmen and minus the Boeheims/Swider?

 

[kuethstheman]

Need to turn the page on ISO the Boeheim's and Swider. That ship has sailed.

Meaningless words. Now if JB doesn't hit the portal hard just because Swider stays, then you've got something, but to paraphrase, Paulo Banchero isn't walking through that door.

From what i’ve heard Swider is gone. Don’t need to believe me but I have a damn solid source

Better get Joe a tub of Ben Gay for his elbow.

That wasn’t the question, and it’s not my job.

Sometimes, it’s time to move on from college. It’s not like Old School.

Nothing so far since the season ended has pointed towards a likely return either. Absent an announcement, this past week has felt like the writing is on the wall. So not surprising to see this.

What's the source?

I posted an IG post Cole shared several days ago in another thread. Basically he mentioned how great it was playing with this group despite the upside and downs and that no matter what comes next, Go Orange.

Feel free to check with the source on confirming what that means...

Transfer portal here we come!!

If he wants to endure hardship just wait and see the roster JB puts together next year.

 

[MikeSU02]

If we go 0-2 on Mintz and Cole coming back, we need at *least* three portal players.

I’m not even sure if the scholarships allow a fourth, but we need at least three if this is the case.

JB thinks the guys coming in are good enough!

Fab 5 2.0?

Best 14 win Dynasty you have ever seen.

I think 2 would suffice, a G and an F, if they're the type of impactful players we need. But yes, as 0307 notes above, it's looking like JB thinks he can just roll with his returners and his frosh. He thinks a starting forward tandem of Benny/Bunch is a winning formula. Unreal. The excuses and rationalizing we'll hear throughout the season will be *chef's kiss*

 

[UpstateSM]

Sean Tucker, though..

Can he play small forward?

I’m not sure that’s a prerequisite to getting minutes anymore

You don't ask for sources on this board.

Oh boy.
