Scoop had a rough first year, even by the standards of most freshmen. Then he redshirted, I thought to get over his injury. He came out and had a fine year in 2009-2010 seson. His constant action on both ends of the court was a big reason why that team did so well. He quickly became my second favorite player on that team, behind Andy Rautins. Last year he had a productive year but seemed a step slower and seemed to feel that he had to do things himself. He's not a huge , "carry the team" type talent so that produced some awkward performances and got a lot of people down on him. The attempt to "save" a ball that didn't need saving vs. Marquette seemed to symbolize the season. This year he found he didn't have to do everything, just run the show and score when there was an opportunity to do so and he had a great year. even in the games where he wasn't statistically productive, he ran the show on offense and was aggressive on defesne. He's a very big reason we are 30-1 and has had one pf the best careers for a point guard at Syracuse University. That plus his positive, extroverted personailtiy should endear him to SU fans for years to come. He'll also have two college degrees, so he should have a successful life, whatever happens in basketball. He'll be a role model for young men showing what can be accomplished with detemination and hard work. Finally he seems to be one of those guys who will "bleed Orange" for the rest of his life and maintain contacts with the University and the community.  Go Orange! Go Scoop!
