How’s Etienne doing?

[Orangefan1]

I noticed he’s averaging a solid 1 point per game in his sophomore season. I’m sure his handlers are enjoying the money they got from UCLA.

Frank Anselem averaged less minutes then he did when he played for us at Georgia.

Quincy Guerrier is now a bench player

These players seek greater pastures by most of them have not from what I can see

 

[Cusefan78]

Just goes to show how far we have fallen in the talent level.

 

[Cuse12]

I’ll look at it from a different angle. Kinda goes to show you how lackluster the caliber of player we are “in the hunt” for lately. I’m sure they would’ve done more here, but if they were undeniably elite they would be very productive at any place they go. I mean we clearly saw QG do more here, but for some reason it isn’t clicking for him out west

Bingo.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

For the record, Guerrier averaged 13.7 & 8.4 his last year at Syracuse.

He was down to 8.7 & 4.4 this year at Oregon.

I guess that's what happens when you play out of position.

 

[Brooky03]

I don’t know all of the reasons everybody leaves but it’s usually something related to not being allowed to play the way they want to. Well, looks like there was a reason the HoF coach had them playing a certain way.

Goes to show how much we were actually getting out of players.

and all you want to do is launch 3's.

That’s part of the story, and I agree.

The frustrating part is I think there’s 2 or 3 guys who would be better at Syracuse and Syracuse would be better if they had them. And it’s frustrating that they all left.

One very good thing about Boeheim is that he was able to get a lot out of his mid and low ranking players. Of all the transfers during his tenure, there might only be a handful who went on to greater success at another school.

 

[Orangefan1]

Guerrier was on the cusp of the NBA a few years ago now he won’t even make a D league team

In an effort to generate more interest among grade school kids, the NCAA is considering a motion to fill in midrange court space with lava.

I disagree. SU has had a ton of players over the years who transferred out and done very little at their new schools.

I blame Louie McCroskey... It all started with him.

Just kidding,...

That should be a clear indication of our talent level

Really neither here nor there. The only “good” players to transfer out of Syracuse were Quincy and Kadary, other players were 4th or 5th guys in classes who were never going to be much more than role players. That’s not a miss as much as what occurs when you need to fill rosters. Everyone does it.

Well, in all fairness to his post, he used the caveat, 'elite' players. If indeed those guys were elite in the first place, I'd completed agree with that sentiment as 'creme always rises to the top.' Doing "very little" at their others schools is just more proof of not only not being elite, but being relatively quite ordinary.

Most of the aforementioned guys, in reality, were far from elite, but rather more along the lines of solid type guys that a HOF coach knew from his high coaching acumen, etc. what roles tapped into their greater strengths at the time.

These young adults, for the most part, clearly don't have the wisdom to know otherwise, and follow a path in which they hear from others what they want to hear.

Braswell is good too. His issue has been out of his control as we knew when he was here.

Referring to the shin issue?

Yeah.. it shut him down again this year.

 

[Cusecuse44]

A really valid point to drive home for guys that may be teetering on staying/leaving. The grass isn't always greener on the other side. If we stay together next year we might surprise a few folks.

Not really accurate, Jalen Carey was a 4 star guard with offers from Kansas, Nova, Miami, UConn etc. Brycen Goodine was also a 4 star out of high school.

Well they never played like it,

They came with an agenda that wasn't JB's agenda. When recruiting the recruits should understand they leave their agendas at home.
