Jim Boeheim himself said Griffin isn’t a guard.Nice to see you come around and agree that last year’s bench just wasn’t very good.
And even though many of us believe that Griffin is the 4th guard, I’ll stipulate for the sake of debate that we only have 3 guards on the roster. What do you propose we do about that, given that it’s 12/24/2020? Can we find a non-combo point guard to join the team mid-season? Someone who is capable of immediately stepping in and playing 20 minutes per night? Or are you just going to post the same complaint over and over... on every thread, regardless of the topic... where does it end for you?
I think all of us would love more talent on the roster. The Isaiah Jackson kid (who chose Kentucky) would probably have been a better big in terms of making an immediate impact, but he decided to go elsewhere. And the Tape kid from Columbia probably would have slotted in at C when Sid went down. But he decided to ride the pine at Duke instead. What are you gonna do? Kids make choices... and we have who we have... you can keep complaining about the roster if you want (please don’t think that I am in any way trying to stifle debate), but to me it’s a little pointless to do so. Unless the point is to simply complain about Jim Boeheim.

If we want to win a NC or be really good to contend for conference titles we need as much talent we can get. If just being above average is our expectations then I will shut up. I am acting like we are still an elite basketball school. Not Providence or Seton Hall.
If we aren’t a top college basketball program anymore then I will shut up and accept what we are.
If post sanctions we are just going to be what we are now then fine.
That is it in a nutshell. We can’t pretend we are better than we actually are.
