Elijah Moore transferring to Utah

[RedtheGOB]

Not unexpected.

How many games did he start this year as a true freshman? He had his chance.

 

[atlanticuse]

Speaks volumes about Red.
Benching, not playing him was no commitment to him.

 

[sufan59]

Are we just going to end up rebuilding the entire house?

How many games did he start this year as a true freshman? He had his chance.

I don't consider it that simple, because his minutes were completely unrelated to how well he played. Token starter that got jerked around.

 

[tptcuse]

Yeah this is a self inflicted wound, unforced error, whatever you want to call it, that's what it is.

But at least we got to experience Jaquan Carlos.

 

[tptcuse]

Are we just going to end up rebuilding the entire house?

Yes.

 

[tptcuse]

How many games did he start this year as a true freshman? He had his chance.

He started towards the middle/end of the season, and mostly because of injuries. Before that, he was pulled several times when he was playing well while Carlos made as many mistakes as he could muster and got much more playing time.

Knew this was coming. But still crazy to me what Red did here. Coaching malpractice. Kids a freshman. Lost year and he continued to not play this kid who showed loads of potential. If any year was to play a freshman into the ground and get him game experience. And instead, red sat him and gave him the quick hook.

Maybe I will be wrong, but this would be a really good player off the bench next year.

Does it matter

 

[syrBossHogg]

Guess we'll have an entire new roster next year lol

 

[Sbucketball]

Red would pull him first timeout and Moore though you gotta be Jaquan me.

People were killing Red for not winning enough and people are complaining about sitting a guy who didn’t make a basket for a month and couldn’t guard a chair. Sitting Moore would be at the end of my list of concerns.

 

[Ghost]

Man, this is exciting. We get to see Red really dig in and work his magic now!

After this past season I can only imagine how well this is going to go!

 

[Madbiker]

Where was he getting any PT with JJ and Anthony coming in? They all play the same position. Smart decision.

The fun thing about our program now is you can literally complain about everything.

Not playing the walk-ons enough in the first half of games is a pretty valid complaint. We're that bad!

 

[Dinkyspond]

why not? we lost 19 games, such is life in modern college basketball, you completely rebuild your team every year

 

[Hopkins16]

If only players existed that could play on two ends of the court.

They exist but not at Syracuse.

 

[kingtidge]

This one was expected.

 

[Brooky03]

Not surprising. Woulda liked to keep him but with JJ in his way and the clear need to bring in a real PG, there weren’t going to be big minutes for him next year.

Exciting player who will be a contributor somewhere.

Best of luck, Choppa!

 

[CardiacCuse]

sucks to lose him

i would leave too if i was him

but if he wants to do well at his next stop he will have to improve on his defense

 

[orangenauburn]

Carlos got 500 more minutes than him on the season. Ridiculous.

Based off his shooting potential alone I would have rather ran him 25 minutes a game to work through his freshman yips and show a commitment to him than rely on whatever it was Red rolled with at guard this year

 

[hoopsupstate]

Loved his potential as a scorer, but todays game is all about the now.

 

[Hopkins16]

Are we just going to end up rebuilding the entire house?

A rebuild with cheaper materials.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Carlos got 500 more minutes than him on the season. Ridiculous.

You really think Moore could play point guard?

they base their player eval 100% off offense

moores defense was unplayable at times...and thats why red sat him

that said, i predict moore will be big time wherever he goes next
