Bingo, we need to stop throwing blame and have faith that the true issue is being addressed and will be rectified. Adam is not evil, the administration is not evil, the coaches are not evil, but they need to all get together and figure it out for the good of the program and the university.
I just threw up
Swallow that puke, let's see how this all plays out. With the portal, it is quite possible that we can build a competitive roster.
It’s early. I agree. I have said this in other threads. But if we can’t pay Edwards. We most likely can’t pay Mintz. Now we are without Mintz and Edwards. And running back a team that had tremendous flaws. With 1 recruit coming in. Need to pound the portal. But as history has shown us, we haven’t had much luck with the portal.
Link?
Cliffnotes? I don’t have the attention span to listen to the same person talk for longer than a minute or two at a time.
Thank God, I thought I was the only one. Is it ADHD? Whatever it is, I've had it since high school.
If this is calling out Jesse's dad, please don't add to that idiotic narrative.
Hey man I'm just throwing the Alley Op lol
It also talks about the Weistman situation. Must listen. Really good stuff
I understand, but as a father, I am sensitive to calling out another man's parenting, particularly when I believe he has probably given his son solid advice.
Was or is?
Before this Jesse fiasco, the narrative was already leaning the wrong way. Not turning over the roster, especially the position, having no guard depth or anything in the pipeline were giant mistakes Red made right away. We shouldn’t have been focused in running it back, instead this program should have had some real churn to actually attempt to improve. Gtown and Cooley knows what’s up. Pitino knows what’s up. Does our staff?
I know a lot of people who know his parents and have only heard lovely things about them (travelled in Italy and other tournaments with them). There is just so much in these 85 pages that is so wrong. And some, I am sure, is correct. But does anyone really know? So many think they are experts. There used to be a core group of trusted posters here. I've been a part of this forum for years, and miss those days. I have not posted inside information on here in a long, long time. Unfortunately the comments and so called experts are really getting out of hand. This thread throws in the kitchen sink of every single potential involved person, theory, who did this, who said that. It is really both sad and comical. There are a trusted few on here who are trying to pull it together. But most of you have no idea who they are. You are all newer to the game and you have no idea who you are arguing with.
Thanks for adding evidence to the quality of Jesse's family. Some have driven away the logical and informed posters. I consider myself among those left, maybe I am wrong, but either way, I am trying to show those that jump to conclusions the error in their way.
He hasn’t even done his interview or announced where he’s going yet - this thing could be going well over 100.
Can you shed any light on what happened and how we just lost our fifth year senior leader to another program? Do you get the sense that we’re way behind on NIL fundraising? I believe you’re connected to alumni fundraising. Losing Jesse is simply devastating. To many posters, it just seems like we’ve been caught flat footed and completely unprepared for what was going to unfold this off-season with NIL. But mostly: How can we ever expect to retain talent if they’ll just go make more money at another program?
I'm not she, but it is 100% NIL. Jesse wants to stay, but the discrepancy between what we have to offer and what other schools have to offer is too large.
I agree, what we lack is coordination, and I believe that can be rectified. But, it takes all parties coming together for the good of the athletics programs and the university, because they work hand in hand. Right now things are a mess. Egos have to be put to the side and all parties have to recognize the benefit of NIL contribution, no matter how it is delivered, so long it is in within compliance. Compliance is a gray area, but the fact that things are public and social media is involved, while being unattractive to the traditionalists, is where we are and can be utilized to strengthen the Syracuse brand and benefit both the athletic and academic sides of the university.
