lol, post of year candidate

Is it a foregone conclusion that Griffin is leaving? I'm not an insider so I don't know. He should be the one that we should hope is back. The kid has total stud potential. Again, I know almost everybody here has given up on him but I'm at a loss on that subject. I'll be the president of his fan club even if I am a cult of one.

I didn’t want to come off as to blasphemous but thank you

Griffin, just as well.

Despite what anyone says we need to confirm additional players who can inject speed and athleticism into the lineup. Cannot be too one dimensional. I want both.

Back from the dead on Easter Sunday.

 

[GooseMutt]

I really want the Cole Swider announcement

Allen has speed and athleticism in excess, does that make him a good or valuable basketball player?

He’s been the best player on the court at enough times in 2020-2021 to justify another chance

I really like Griff, but he has Roberson 2 written all over him. If he can transfer and not sit, he would be a good match with Rick at Iona.

Roberson? You couldn't have picked a player in history he is less like.

If any coach has a chance to get the consistent best out of AG it’s RP. But, it is really up to Alan to figure out how to focus. His talent is undeniable. If I were him, I talk to JB. I tell him I want to stay. I tell JB, I don’t want to start. I want to earn every minute I get. Then get hungry and go to work.

No news is good news?!

my gut feel is woody may be waiting on Swider news.

 

[orangefog]

my gut feel is woody may be waiting on Swider news.

Makes sense, but I hope he understands that there is room for both. Especially if he shows the versatility to play both at the top of the zone and bottom.

 

[Trueblue25]

my gut feel is woody may be waiting on Swider news.

You think that’d impact him? I see Swider as a concrete 4. I thought he may be waiting on AG’s decision, as there’s still an oncoming log jam at the 3

Interesting choice of words.

gone

We wouldn’t be going after other players if these guys were coming back.

I see Swider as a 3 who can play the 4 but doesn’t rebound very well offensively or much at all.

 

[Marty McFly]

Just assume they are moving on, and if they come back... it'll be a pleasant surprise.

 

[Trueblue25]

With Marek, JBA, Kadary and Robert gone we have spots to fill already. I don’t know if the current bait to Swider and others reflects AG’s and Woody’s positions yet

If Woody stays, I really don't want's Swider on the roster. Villanova supposedly didn't play him enough because he lacked the footspeed for man-to-man defense. How would he cover all the space a Syracuse forward must cover in the zone? It takes some serious athleticism, no?

If we have Woody (maybe starting if QG's gone?) & Jimmy B backing up the forwards, we'll have all the shooters we need, right?
