Message: [QUOTE="Orange Barrel, post: 1056109, member: 845"] [I]"I think he is a great college player, but I think physically he could have used another year. I think when you get to the NBA, you need to be as physically ready as you can be, so I think Tyler could have benefited from another year, but certainly he is a tremendous player and a very smart point guard."[/I] Not exactly openly stating he made a bad choice. Just an honest assessment, with some very complimentary statements. Of course he's a salesman. He's a college coach. His job is to sell the school to the player, not the player to the NBA. No. I'm well aware of how good our staff is. They seem to be doing great work in spite of JB's repeated efforts to undermine them and bring down the program. Our recruiting is as good or better than ever. Have you ever heard any of the staff talk about JB? They don't sound too upset with him to me. Same with former players. They love him. Not sure what the Thues/Davis classes have to do with this conversation. I haven't heard one statement from JB that could adversely impact anyone's draft position. I think if he said Tyler Ennis sucks, it would have zero impact on TE's draft position. [I]"That situation, I think the media and the outside people that really don't know the situation kind of got a different angle than (the players) did,"[/I][URL='http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/05/19/syracuse-tyler-ennis-downplays-jim-boeheims-critical-remarks-on-nba-draft-decision/'][I] [/I]Ennis told NBCSports.com.[I] [/I][/URL][I]"Even through my decision to enter the draft, I sat down with coach a few times and talked to him. And even to this day we're able to speak and be on the same page. We're both loyal people, we have a good relationship and he just wants what is best for me."[/I] [I] [/I] [/QUOTE]
