Grant gone according to inside source.

We are a bubble team without him

not surprised, our track record with guys returning is pretty much god awful. cj and who else? maybe hak coming back for his senior year but i cant remember if there was serious talk of him leaving.

Just making the tourney should really excite the fan base.

Don't take my comments as being satisfied. I am just being a realist. Maybe without expectations we can overachieve and make the sweet 16. I just have no expectations even with Grant next year. We have 1 PG on the roster and have Gbinije as the backup. We can't compete for a NC with that as our PG situation.

Christmas thought he'd be ready to leave his freshman year.

You realize how bad the bubble has become right? I get your frustrated and I know you know how bad the bubble is with how many games you watch. We are a tournament team without Grant we just aren't a NC contender for the first time since 2008.

I have willpower! Sig ups, you know what that's all about?

Yup, SU lost in the tourney to a team that was on the bubble late in the season.

BJ needs to hit the weight room big time and get ready to play meaningful minutes at the three. There is such a logjam at the 2, so this might present the young man with a golden opportunity for court time.

I hope the people who wanted my three "sons" to get more playing time this year are happy. You are about to get your wish.

And if they were afforded those opportunities this year, they'd be more ready to step in and help us next year...

 

[JarHeadJim]

We knew this on the pay board 3 hours ago!!

 

[orange79]

Well, this is a fine way to start the weekend.

 

[Briancuse]

Hopefully these rumors aren't true.

Well, this is a fine way to start the weekend.

And we can top it off by watching UConn win in the Final 4 tomorrow!

If we go 6-3 at home during conference plays, 4-5 on the road. That is 10-8 in the ACC and then lose less than 3 non-conference games we are a lock for the NCAA tournament. People who feel we are a bubble team are rightfully upset in the heat of the moment. Grant owes Syracuse nothing if he leaves early 2 years isn't that bad in today's college basketball.

I am not upset as even with Grant we aren't a NC team so without him the season won't have as high expectations. I just want to have fun and next year I will be calm.

Looking at this roster if Grant doesn't come back I dont think that its far fetched. Remember Lville is coming in, Duke and Unc have loaded incoming classes.

 

[Forza Azzurri]

Short of my wife banging Ajou Deng this is as low as i have felt in a long time.

Awful lot of talent coming in and on that bench.

And if it is 2006 or 2007 again for a year, it'll only be for a year.

Let's not kid ourselves.


Grant gives us some hope.


It's a really down year without him.

 

[Briancuse]

We might be playing Duke and Lville twice next year, we will have to play Unc on the road, that could be 4 losses right there.

 

[cuseguy]

There won't be much of a bench with eight guys.

I agree that it doesn't look like we're competing for a title, but we will still have lots of talent. I actually think we will surprise a lot of people next season. Expectations would be low, and Boeheim tends to do his best work when that is the case.

 

[NKR1978]

If true, wish him all the best and hope he and Tyler kick a**.

Lets see what these highly rated recruits can do. #6 seed or better next year. Nowhere near the bubble.

Joseph
Cooney
Roberson
McCullough
Christmas

Gbinije
Patterson
Johnson
Obokoh

The sky is hardly falling.

 

[We Are Syracuse]

I mean this with respect, but I wouldn't wipe my ass with this original post... What are we basing this off of???!!!

Anyways, if he doesn't come back, it will be a long year but hopefully a lot of positive developments will occur with the opportunities a lot of these young players would get. Next one up! Next year might be a long year...everyone should be prepared for that, just hope to see IMPROVEMENT come march and not digression like this year... go cuse
