Get Hodgson, Get Melo on Board

[Cusefan0307]

Doesn’t matter who we hire next if he’s not backed by a serious upgrade in NIL budget. Louisville is top ten in that regard. Kelsey’s a great coach, but he still had to buy talent.

We bought Lampkin. We could have got 2 better players for the cost of him.

Not sure why this is so complicated for some folks.

Send Hodgson in with Fran for tag team Jedi powers on Melo...

Posters and the ESPN radio guys keep saying 3rd year. And saying I'm overreacting too soon. To that I say just wait and see how it plays out. Do we have more embarrassments at JMA like this?

Day man, come on... His team is missing two top players, and his best transfer was #77 according to 247. its not like he went out and got 10 top 50 guys... NIL my a$$. He can coach, red cant simple as that. I dont believe for a second this is some 8 million dollar roster

Outside of Brent Axe no one else has the balls to stick their neck out.

We bought Eddie Money, who did Louisville buy? The pg Hepburn? Did they really go that nuts in the portal? Asking, since most of their guys I never heard of.

Per my link above, they had the top transfer class. Top ten in NIL with a $1 million match program.

We thought we were getting Lampkin/Leffew for $900k. Hepburn got $750k.

Good research, however are they #1 because they brought 12 players in? Quantity over quality, however, all their guys were solid no superstars really. Closest to that was Hepburn, I vaguely remember him at Wiscy. So it's talent evaluation and coaching.

SU lacks both.

Lampkin got more than that after he threatened to leave. And the 247 numbers are garbage. That’s been discussed as nauseom here. Louisville got a a lot better player than we did for around the same amount of money.

They had the top class because they had 12 transfers... If you look at the average rank they are pretty far down the list.

To put this point home a bit, California is 15th in the transfer rankings, are we really going to say they brought in more talent and spent more on transfers than Arkansas? No, its because they brought in 10 guys and it gave them a numbers boost.

Its like when Syracuse football was top 30 class for a bit, it was only because we had by far the largest class in the rankings and it gave us extra points compared to smaller classes even though our average/recruit was well below everyone else Now they are .55th once everyone else started filling their classes.

The local media is so soft

Scibilia and Infante will say, we're just 1 game under .500. we had won 2 in a row. Lots of basketball left. I already know their talking points tomorrow. Scibilia might admit things looked bad last night, he will tread lightly though.

 

[UnknownOrange]

It comes down to coaching.

“You can’t fire Red and jeopardize this recruiting class”

Has he given anyone in that boat confidence that if he stays, he’ll coach those players better than these?

Get the right guy

 

[DilemaCuse]

Waiting on the Louisville post game thread. Did anyone notice ville had more coaches than players?

 

[sufan59]

Syracuse.com you know what to do…send in the bulldog axeman and have him ask the hard questions.

I kinda like Brent because he’s good at being critical of leadership while not trashing players.

Yeah this is not how this is supposed to go when the capacity for your basketball arena is 30,219.

No, how many did they have?

 

[jdubs30]

Hodgson is the obvious answer and you have to strike now. But everything we hear makes it seem like Red has 2 more years. I’ve accepted the fact Red is here next year but If that doesn’t go well he needs to be gone

Scibilia is wildly under qualified for his gig on air. Everything out of his mouth should be disregarded

2 more????? Man alive

They brought in three 1,000 point scorers. That‘s a pretty good way to start.

No take backs.

This is the way but there will likely be equal or more desirable options available. Indiana, Miami, UVa, Nova(?), Oklahoma (?), Mizzou, maybe Maryland, Mich St if Izzo hangs em up, etc

UVA is totally unserious about using dollars to get players. Maryland is 13-4. Willard isn’t going anywhere.

No doubt... There's always programs looking for new coaches.

Extend him if we reach double figure wins.
