Jesse Edwards in portal and transfers to WVU

[miamicuse]

but is this as "definitive" as Devo jumping on the scorer's table in celebration of a game winning basket?

FIFY

Yep. Very different personalities but think of Derrick Coleman back in his SU and NBA days and who he is now. Some do change for the better

I would say most change for the better, couldn’t imagine being the same knucklehead 20-30 years later.

Devo seemed to be hesitant about Justin Taylor returning. Interesting

Devo seemed to be hesitant about Justin Taylor returning. Interesting

That's what I thought at first but upon reflection, I think he was just at a loss for trying to figure out how to insert an -bomb into the sentence.

 

[baggerbob]

on a different team I would have hated him. But he was all ours. I loved the swagger. The dude could make layups on fast breaks.

We were never out of any game while Devo was here.

That would be unfortunate…unless it’s a sign Mintz is staying and we’re adding Moore talent through the portal.

It took frame by frame analysis to determine that. Everyone at the Garden thought it was good, until we started seeing the replays

Love Devo, but he and Gerry would have been as bad as Buddy and Joe at the top of the zone in this era.

Not sure about that, Devo was much quicker than Buddy and Jim and had decent length. Gerry understood the zone and played the angles well even though he might have had the same lack of athleticism as Joe.

This would be fantastic news. Jesse comes back followed by Mintz and a portal pick up. Cuse need to be relevant again! Would also LOVE to see Red get off to a great start.

gotta keep Taylor

 

[Nicknack]

gotta keep Taylor

Do we though? I'm all in on Taylor, but if we can get a better talent in the portal, so be it. I just want to win, damn it.

 

[atlanticuse]

Wondering what Red’s take on Taylor is

Devo was disinterested in playing defense.

Jesse..
And Justin & Q.
No surprises with no Judah, Joe, or JBA. No Benny though.

 

[Cusefan69]

I would think we should be hearing something official from Jesse one way or another pretty soon at this point right?

Benny already announced anyways.

Love that Red brought team together to see the game and set the tone of where we need to be.

Where Judah at?

Yes, he did.. was just pointing out who wasn't there as well.

Let's go Red!

 

[jordville]

Where Judah at?

Probably working out and getting ready for evaluations, etc.

 

[RF2044]

Need Jesse to return, Judah to gamble on himself by deferring the NBA for another year knowing that he'll be drafted higher, and for the staff to add a quality guard and forward from the portal.

If those things all happen, I could see us being substantially better. If not -- hard to say.

Roger that I figured... Given some folks only lurk occasionally was just being repetitive

 

[hoopsupstate]

It seems Benny is missing a lot for special occasions.

I think if Jesse returns, Judah returns, and we add either a quality guard or a forward, we will be substantially better.

Heck, I think if Jesse & Judah return, plus improvement from the returning freshmen and one makes a leap like so often happens, we could be substantially better.

 

[orangejunkie]

Posters keep saying we need another top level guard. If Judah returns and that's a big if at this time, they should be all set with the addition of JJ and backups in Taylor and Quadir. I had thought that when they recruited Q it was as a PG but he got his playing time at forward. JB frequently referred to Taylor as best suited for 2G in the future. If Judah moves on, that changes everything and hopefully if that occurs it's not too late to find a quality PG.
