Ok, but what about length?

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Depth isn't important.

Girth is.

The country's hottest team has everything.

Per Katz, Boeheim on the team... "We've got everything - we've got depth, we've got shooters, we've got size. This is the best team we've had in a long time."

Can we get the schedule out?

I'm excited

 

[Widget24]

Wow. Always a really good sign when JB says stuff like that.

 

[HoustonCuse]

Strong words... from a strong man.

Andy Katz knows that if JB is saying this, then we must be good. Expect him to be pro SU this preseason.

Does that mean he will have us 7th in the acc?

Moves us up to 6th!

Interesting to hear JB's comments starting this season. He seems to have always been "We're not that good yet and need a lot of work. If we can do this and do that then we may be competitive". I hope his crystal ball is right.

I'm with a lot of you - let's get this season started Popcorn

Once practice starts he'll temper expectations a little. Take pressure off the players...

Apparently JB has seen what he has now that the team has reported. This is great news and like some here have been saying JB is echoing, we have all the pieces. And that is rare these days in college ball.

Jim's preseason assessments of his own teams are usually pretty accurate. Looking forward to this season.

ACC media view: a non Duke - UNC upstart, how cute.

I'm very excited this year for football, but holy crap I haven't been ready for a basketball season like this since 2011-2012. LGO!

 

[SU94]

I did not understand one small portion of that piece.
When speaking to converted point guards, was JAB/Katz calling .Howard a converted point guard or a "real" point guard?
I think JAB was calling him a real point guard, although, going back to high school, Frank was more of a forward.

Not that it matters ... Frank is going to be a big part of this team. And he's going to make a few jumpers along the way too.

It feels like that year again!

I still can't get pass Andy Jack Donkey saying "the Orange are national contenders."

He's still a Jack Donkey.

No, Silent G was the converted PG. With amazing success as you know, but let's get back to playing kids at their natural positions, shall we?
