Goodbye Benny?

Had to expect it would come to this. Kid clearly wasn’t happy.. and that was before he lost his starting spot.

 

[CuseMan4]

Don’t let the door hit ya on the way out Benny. Honestly might be one of my least favorite Cuse players in the last 15-20 years. Especially after this move. If I’m being honest this move might be a blessing in disguise for the team for a multitude of reasons

This might be a good time to get in early and note that we never know what is going on in these kids’ lives.

Wonder how this effects Judah

Fair, but if it was something other than basketball it seems like he wouldn’t quit after being benched.

 

[tbonezone]

i think benny will thrive with better coaching. kid's got talent.

 

[FreakTalksAboutSU]

Sad. So much wasted talent. Seemed like a good kid off the court, just could never get it together on

Of course.

100% but gotta read between the lines here…you lose your starting spot and you quit the team before the next game a couple days later. All ya need to know

I think we were all surprised when he didn’t transfer last year. The way he got called out all the time finally wore on him. Time for Mr Brown to step it up.

I thought JB was kind the way he spoke of him. Roberson, now that dude has beef.

 

[OrlandoCuse]

Just add him to the list of exits over the past 5 years

 

[Cuse181]

Idk

injury, rough academics, family troubles I get but outing and quitting because you’re not playing well? Sorry, that’s weak.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Pretty big mistake giving him all the run we did year 2 after he was bad year 1 and a huge miss.

Nice kid and nothing personal but JB banked on a huge turnaround and didn't even get a seasons commitment.

Bad day for SU sports with the embarrassing announcement we are moving the Pitt game to NYC. They better return the favor and move one of their home games to the new Bills stadium.

 

[Louie and Bouie]

Boeheim gonna need to find a new whipping boy now. He's not happy unless he as at least one.

Chris Bell says hello

 

[orangemass]

It’s almost February why not stick it out for one more month

 

[50YRsofCuse]

While I hope I am wrong about Benny leaving, it does not bode well to quit a team with only a third of the season left. It would be better to fight through his problems on the court instead of giving up and leaving. I thought he was better than that. Show a defect in character if he left.

 

[capeorange]

Could be sick, injured or family emergency.
Probably should wait before writing him off.

 

[DilemaCuse]

I hope he wasn't the host for that recruit Adams

 

[pwong]

They would put a press release if Benny got covid right? Red has been wearing a mask on the bench all game.

Hard to fully say he’s gone until it’s stated publicly.

 

[Jzsshuttles]

Kids been all about himself since day 1. He has no one to blame but himself. Idc if him and Boeheim don’t get along behind closed doors. You aren’t suppose to be best friends with your coach. Boeheim has gone to bat for him multiple times this year in his pressers. He was a baby last year when he didn’t play as a freshman. He’s been given every opportunity this year and he’s just not doing a single positive thing out there. Go play hard. Go grab a rebound. Do something. Kids soft. We’re better without his drama.

I think Benny is less talented than most of the team, unfortunately. He belongs to a mid-major, not ACC.

 

[FreakTalksAboutSU]

Kidding aside, we really should wait till we know more here. It may be a short term thing. We just don't know.

I really hope that we get a relatively complete story so that, for once, the speculation can be replaced by the facts.
