Message: [QUOTE="Orangeyes, post: 239214, member: 34"] John Wallace came to Syracuse when the program was going through a difficult period. He could have chosen a Kansas team who was riding high. Instead John choose Syracuse primarily because the point guard, Lazarus Sims his AAU point guard ,was coming here, . The former playing partners teamed up beautifully and drove an otherwise ordinary team to the National Championship game againt Kentucky in 1996. Just like Noel Wallace's family did not live far away and could attend many of his games. Do not diminish the importance of chemistry. Michael Carter-Williams, Nerlens Noel, Trevor Cooney and Rakeem Christmas have unifying bonds. Together they will form the nucleus of another national championship contender. For that reason and the fact his family can easily navigate here will be weighing heavily in his decision making process [/QUOTE]
