JB said what what we all think but forget to say.  These guys are getting paid big bucks.  Its fair to criticize then now as they are professionals..   He said they did not play to expectations.   And it was a direct reflection on the team performance on the court.

He defended Autry as he has defended all his players.  I give him credit there.  He will be forever in your court.  Nice to have people like that in your corner.   Granted there is some issue with how the program tailed off, no one like to see us struggle to be mediocre.

NIL is a different story as I do not know the real deal.  But the consensus is that on paper we had the team that should have pushed for the Dance.  I think we were rated #56 in pre-season by Jay Bilas.  So NIL was probably enough.   Coaching inexperience then was also a factor.

In summary I agree that highly compensated players cost Syracuse the Season.  i would add that Autry also caused us to miss the NCAA's.
