Dior - 42 tonight against Baylor

[Cuse_NYC]

Would anyone on here be willing to take a flyer on him? Or the drama isn’t worth it?

 

[Zelda Zonk]

For next year? He will have eligibility? What am i saying... What is "eligibility?"
Seriously, though—we haven't signed a HS guard yet, right? Maybe Nait comes back?

The question on both sides is: who is the Syracuse coach next year? Not sure i'd trust Red to deal with the drama. Why would Dior come into a tumultuous situation. Again?

Leads the country in scoring

GMac should get him at Siena.

A Power 5 school will take a flier on him next year if he has eligibility.

Absolutely not. It's not "drama", it's a legitimate criminal background that he pled down.

Like Wade and NC State?

Sounds about right.

It’ll get ignored, sports success trumps criminal background almost every time

If he was playing 33 minutes, he'd be averaging 30 points a game. They are holding him back. He sometimes misses at least the first 6 minutes of the game.

The kid has committed to like 6 different teams. He’s been in college longer than Bluto from Animal House and he’s done zip. Now at the latest school he is leading the NCAA in scoring out of no where and they are holding him back?

I see it a bit different. The coaches at this school are the only ones that have figured out how to get any production out of this guy. I wouldn’t change a thing if I where them.

It has been shown that he doesn't score much when he's sitting on the bench. This we know. But, in his 2023-24 Season: He was the leading scorer in NJCAA Division I while playing for Clarendon College, averaging a stellar 29.7 points per game. During this time, he had two games where he scored over 50 points, including a career-high 58 points.

35.7 minutes per game, started 20 of 21 games.

Not to go against any SU players, but I would like to see him start in place of Starling today at Pitt. Tell me you wouldn't like to see this performance in Orange;

Dior isn’t a winning player.

Style is fun to watch in highlights, but doesn't fit a team? Maybe. Jimmer Fredette might not have helped 2010-11 SU...

He plays less defense than Starling or Kiyan.

So therein is the problem with Dior... Good point. Wish he could fix some of these things. The coach maybe is trying to get Dior to understand this, by not starting him...

He’s been at 8 schools in about 8 years. There’s a reason he’s not at a power conference school.

Interesting you used the word "frustrating" in your post (your individual thread on page 2 now) about us fixing things. Same goes for Dior. Has to be frustrating for all involved.

He abused women. Probably frustrating for her that he still gets to play D1 basketball

Gotta save all that energy for his own glory!
