C’mon Etan, you sound like you’re 5’7.

Some great stuff in here.

And unsurprisingly…. Stuff I’ve seen posted on here plenty of times by people, myself included.

I guess since we’ve got some actual “names” attached to them though..

Anyway, some really great back and forth!

That was a fascinating piece. Many things said by those ex-players that have been said several times on this board. But they're not in the HoF so what do they know?

They should get into coaching, there's a lot of money in it and they have some good ideas.

Lazarus Sims: "They were both great games, but we didn’t have a consistent true point guard on the floor who put everyone in the right position. I’ll go back to when they won the championship in '03. Many people will say it was 'Melo [Anthony], it was Gerry [McNamara] — but really if you go back and watch the tournament, when they played their best, it was Billy Edelin who was the key. He put Gerry in his right position, the 2. In contrast to this team, against Villanova and Georgetown, when they put Symir [Torrence] in — who is a pass first point guard — it puts your shooters and your scorers in the right position. It puts Buddy [Boeheim] at the 3. It puts Joe Girard at the 2, and allows them to do what they do best. What we’re doing is forcing the 2-guard into [being] a point guard, so the flow isn’t there. It lasts for awhile, but it’s not sustainable."

Arinze Onuaku: "It’s totally different from when we were there because obviously, our responsibility was solely the paint area, so it’s odd seeing Jesse Edwards run from corner-to-corner. I know they switched the defense to the 1-3-1 [zone] at times and we know it’s the bottom man’s job to run corner-to-corner, but to have Jesse be that person, it does take him out of rebounding position."

What a fantastic piece. Several of my all-time favorite Orangemen with lots of insightful comments.

Etan: I saw the press conference after the Georgetown game, and Coach [Jim] Boeheim was saying the guys are worn down and they’re tired. And I’m thinking 'Well, you got guys on the bench ready to go.' The starters don’t have to play ironman minutes.

Really great stuff. By players who still clearly follow Syracuse and were (to put it lightly) key contributors to successful teams.

Lots of familiar themes in there.

And they’re all taller than 5’2”!

sounds like the "Emperor has no clothes..."

Too bad the old stubborn coach doesn’t listen to anyone else. But it’s obvious to everyone. Still going to get worse before it gets better sadly.

When I'm posting in all caps you can bet I'm just messing around and pot stirring.

Strange that former D1 players are saying the same things that posters on this website have been saying for the past 2-3 years. And we were called names, and told we are the problem. What do they say about these former players?
