Do you think Boeheim has a set retirement date that he will stick to?

[Cuse181]

So just Benny, Joe, and Jesse gone?

Everyone else back? Anybody else knew brought in? Tourney in 2024?

3 contributors. Does JBA leaving scream bad situation? I’m sure some may twist it that way. And of course new players will come in. That’s been the sentiment shared by the coach all year.

We have zero players signed. Give It up.

So….tourney?

How the heck can we possibly expect to bring kids in? 2 years ago no forwards wanted to come/stay here?

Zero freshman, you already calling the transfer portal effort a failure before it’s even open? Talk about putting the cart before the horse.

 

[Orangezoo]

Yes, the 'JB is The Program' crowd has been conspicuously silent since the Thamel article broke.

This is why I've raised the moving the goalposts comment so often. You can't argue for so long in regard to giving him the benefit then transition to once he's gone it's hakuna matata and he fades into the sunset and everything he has done is erased.

What he says will matter if it continues. This last one will matter if it puts attention on our efforts for the 24 class. The NCAA is paying attention to all of this as we saw.

Same reason everyone else is able to bring people in: $$$$ and playing time.

 

[Toga]

So, for a year, maybe 2, maybe 3 - date to be determined by JB - the comments DO mean something,,,

But it's not even necessarily 2 or 3 years. It's until he finds something better to do (which he won't). He said so.

We’ve whiffed every other year recently, why would we do better this year? We don’t pay. Coach said so. They’ll all go to mighty Wake Forest for the big bucks.

$$$$? Not according to coach. Only the bad guys(every other program) do that, which is why we can only hope to play the good teams close - JB gives us that fighting chance! What a guy.

Another purposefully obtuse response. Who cares what coach says? AW is paying players for the community not the team, right?

We had playing time at forward 2 years ago and couldn’t get anybody, so the coach’s kid had to play all the minutes. It was weird.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

I was told coach deserves to “go out on his own terms”.

Well, here you go! These are his terms. Don’t complain now just because his terms are insane!

Syracuse had just brought in a 5 star, a nova wing transfer and a former 14 a game guy… where was that playing time exactly?

Ahead of the Cornell guy and the freshman stiff.

Ahead of the Cornell guy and the freshman stiff.

A Cornell guy who averaged 17 and 6, and a freshman who many on this board thought was the savior. If Jimmy had a different last name, people would’ve been pumped to get a guy with that stat line. That was the exact stat line we would love to have pulled in from anyone else.

If Jimmy had a different last name he would’ve never played 30 mpg for Syracuse…or any other equivalent program.

A 14 and 6 PF would be playing 30 minutes for nearly every team in the ACC this year. Again, this all bias based on his last name. I mean hell, buddy was an all ACC player and people still wanted him benched

Man you love to assume things and place them as likely facts. Be it hypotheticals or the future.

You see the future as far better than most. Some of us disagree. Maybe it's time we all recognize that and move on before another thread gets locked.

We all want and hope for the same things. Let's not forget that...

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Boy id be shocked if Jesse, Joe, Benny or Judah was here next year

Same here.

Not if they play defense as bad as Jimmy did.

Anybody can score a lot if they play all game and shoot all the time.

Is it normal to only carry 3 forwards that actually are a consideration to play(JBA doesn’t count - you already said so)?

sure sure, you think that, I’ll point to the fact that we haven’t had a forward put up that type of consistent performance yet this year

Maliq Brown is a far better player than Jimmy Boeheim was. You just have to understand what you’re watching.

 

[OrangeDW]

Holy crap, Jimmy actually averaged 35 mpg last year. Had forgotten that it was THAT bad.

This guy is acting like 6 rpg in 35 minutes is good too. Lol.
