Thank god for this dude. Can't imagine how badly we would be freaking out today without his commitment.

"Next G"?

I know it's getting played, but still. This one's fairly spiffy plus it rhymes.

Too soon?

Here's my new Q & A with Mr. Gillon, quite revelatory in parts about his role and expectations:

Very good interview. He has the nice mix of being cocky without being arrogant.

 

[Nicknack]

Maybe it's just me but I wouldn't describe him as cocky or arrogant after reading the article. Instead, I just think the young man is very confident in his game and what he can bring to the table. If he wasn't this confident, I would probably be a bit concerned as a grad transfer coming into a situation like ours.

Cocky was meant in a good sense

Imagine if he was the next Silent G?

Gillon is going to wear #4. Our last transfer who wore #4 worked out pretty damn well.

great work iommi, this is the money quote I think:
I always have seen myself as a starter. I make the most of it when I do come off the bench but this is my last year and I want to have the best role I can. In my eyes that’s being a starter and (playing) big minutes.

It's good he mentioned both, because with Boeheim, they dont always coincide.

I wouldnt mind(on occasion) seeing a 3(AW) next to that 4 in the backcourt.

If I remember correctly after the recruiting process was complete there was an article that said Moyer would wear #3 like his recruiter GMAC. Might be a problem for AW to get #3.

Moyer's the type of guy who would gladly surrender his number if that's what's best for the team. He'll get it back after a year anyway...unless Tucker wants it.

Moyer will wear 3 and Battle will wear 25.

Let's get Johnny some more gear... can't wait to see him hoop in orange!

For Gillon yes, but he has us finishing 9th in the ACC... That's not good.

Don't worry - we'll turn that rothstein frown upside-down. We always do! Soon enough, he'll say Chukwu has so much length he personally cleaned the top of the dome with just a step ladder.

Well unlike us he doesn't know White is coming Popcorn

Preseason rankings are nice but in the grand scheme of things aren't the end all. I prefer the coaches poll the second week of April SUball

 

[pearl31]

he has us finishing 9th in the ACC

lol

 

[asj410]

He sure mentions enough of our players in all of these lists (impact freshman, under-the-radar, transfers) for only putting us at 9th!
