JBA in the portal

Just finished reading the Grisham book, Sooley, about a South Sudanese basketball player that comes to the US. Great read and authentic picture of what these kids go through to achieve a better life and the tragic life they leave behind.

The basketball story isn’t all that realistic, but the national hero of South Sudanese basketball players is a superstar who spent his one year in college taking Syracuse to a national title!

With all due respect I feel it is my responsibility to say that the book is awful and anybody considering buying it should not waste $ on it.

It's been a while since I've been back up to SU, but isn't it closed to vehicles now?

That's what i thought. And there are barriers on each end of University Place that are "intended" to prevent a vehicle from passing through.
 
I would LOVE if UMass reached out to JBA. Our presumed backup center went portaling this week and I actually think that Jon Bol can contribute to winning off of the bench in the A10.

That would be a good spot for him. Not sure if Binghamton or LeMoyne have a spot? I expect he is looking for a specific Masters Program.

Don't they have 2 freshman centers coming in? Martin is going to play Cohen a lot, probably give the 7 footer some situational minutes for development, can't see where JBA could get PT.

I’d be surprised if the 7 footer plays much. Reclass kid who has only been in America for a year or two I think. And Martin will play two bigs at once if he has the pieces.

It almost definitely won’t happen but it wouldn’t be a bad match for both parties.
