Because JB obviously doesn’t do the portal, I’m not excusing his actions, just not worth acting like the program will never have a chance to succeed again.Then why has the team stunk for the last few years? Why not turn it around?

It doesn’t matter who or when, if the new coach wants a good team the year after JB leaves, they can get the alum together and buy one. As Illinois just showed you, transfer talent will always trump freshman talent
Hopefully someone runs it back for Boeheim. Would be interested to hear what he thinks of frans words
He at least gets talent.Great assistant, meh as a head coach.
With. What ? Boeheim Bucks?The portal essentially guarantees you can turn a program around in a year. People gotta chill, this isn’t the 80s anymore where you have a build a program, now you buy it.
I think the worse regular season loss was when we had a good team and lowly DePaul crushed us. That was bad and the other really rough one was when UVA held is to around 30 points, ughhhBut I’ve never been more sure that its over for JB. This is a young team but they don’t only look lost, they look like they have zero guidance/coaching.
Fran spent the last 10 mins slamming the state of our program.
Its just bad. Can’t support this staff even slightly anymore. Its a disservice to the student athletes.

JB has largely only brought in guys he’s familiar with via the portal. He’s not really trying to land major talent. It’s a problem.Then why has the team stunk for the last few years? Why not turn it around?
Agreed. I think my post was poorly worded. Essentially, if he hasn't given the recruiting/practice effort before, then why would he start now?JB has largely only brought in guys he’s familiar with via the portal. He’s not really trying to land major talent. It’s a problem.
I think that we will need to agree to disagree. I don't think that it has been viewed as a "top" school for BB recruits in over a decade.It is still a very attractive job.
Facilities, fan support, resources all Top 10-20 nationally. Quality academic school (not that it matters). You guys don’t give the job enough credit.
Football is another story.
This is the issue. Fran even said we’d have NO problems landing major impact transfers if we wanted.JB has largely only brought in guys he’s familiar with via the portal. He’s not really trying to land major talent. It’s a problem.

I get the feeling that JB loves being a HC and coaching in games, but dislikes everything else (recruiting, practice, game prep, etc...) that comes with being a head coach.I’m almost glad JB is so apathetic, he is leaving no doubt that his time is up. If he had made a splash in the portal this year and we were somehow playing well, that wpild only extend his shelf life here
Jim has been mailing it in for yearsI get the feeling that JB loves being a HC and coaching in games, but dislikes everything else (recruiting, practice, game prep, etc...) that comes with being a head coach.
It’s more the Edmund FitzgeraldJim is the captain of the Titanic and not only is he steering the ship quickly towards an iceburg he also sent his distress call way too late. Ahhh...it was glorious at one time that powerful ship that supposedly couldn't be sunk.
It’s gonna take a long long time to dig out of this crater the program has been taken to. Not even sure it’s an attractive job to potential coaches these days given how far down we are now. Headed for our second straight sub-.500 season and next season likely won’t be much different regardless of who is at the helm.
Not the first time it’s happened and it won’t be the last, but it’s sad to watch another legendary college coach torpedo what he built.
So does every other father and male bachelor in America. He’s paid millions to do the hard stuff.I get the feeling that JB loves being a HC and coaching in games, but dislikes everything else (recruiting, practice, game prep, etc...) that comes with being a head coach.
The SU BoT does not appear to be a very diverse group based on their graduation years. Definitely skews 70+ in age. Could it be that many of them are JB loyalists and protecting one of their own?UConn got Hurley when they were in the AAC and was just as down as we are. We’ll be good if the University decides to invest. But does any one truly think the University cares?
I don’t really believe I need to be catered to, but man they need to give us some inkling that they care. I just don’t think SU cares, that’s what hurts the most.
I want someone better than Hurley. Until this year he’s been mediocre. The record is what it says it is. UConn hasn’t won sht yet. It doesn’t take 5 years to rebuild a power 5 program.UConn got Hurley when they were in the AAC and was just as down as we are. We’ll be good if the University decides to invest.

Had to have the sons playing 35 mpg last year, and then decided to “rebuild” with freshmen like it’s 1992 instead of hitting the portal?Then why has the team stunk for the last few years? Why not turn it around?
