Kadary Richmond in the transfer portal

[NateW]

T

Quite the roller coaster for the pro-JB and anti-JB crowd this year.

Pro JB..

All season: crickets

Tournament: Aha!!! JB forgot more basketball than you’ll ever know!!

Post season: crickets

Anti:

All season: program is trashhhh

Tournament: Let’s goooooo!!!!!

Post season: program is trashhhh

There are some ppl whose penchant for misery is so strong that their life is peaking, right now, in this thread. Strange stuff.

This is one of the worst days in SU basketball history.

Eh not even close. Bernie Fine, the accident on 690, the two NCAA findings, every tourney loss day. The 1987 natty

FWIW. got the text message this morning on this. Kadary wanted the starting spot and JB wouldn't promise or give it to him. Tried to sell him on the Dion role but Kadary wasn't having it. One of our assistants are EXTREMELY upset, to the point of I wouldn't be surprised they dip this summer if given offered a job. He also has folks close to him saying that every program will be after you (listening to the internet gush over him). We'll see what happens. Sucks

Now that is a believable version of the Boeheim conversation that could easily be misconstrued by an eager journalist or misrepresented by a frustrated kid.

 

[AZOrange]

Can never understand these types of peoples.

ADJW needs to step in at this point and get a commitment from Boeheim. We’re hurdling down a really bad path

JB cannot hurdle

Lots of doom on here, this is a huge loss, probably inexplicable, definitely 100% on the head coach, but we will field a team next year that is probably .500 in the acc and on the bubble. It is what it is. We wont be terrible. We just wont be very good, and we will get handled by anyone that plays pressure defense.

So basically another version of the same team we've seen for the past 5 years. Ceiling of a bubble team and hopeful of a miracle double digit seed run if we manage to get into the NCAAt.

Rather, rinse, repeat.

But I'll ask you this, if our ceiling is a bubble team, what do you think our floor will look like? Because that's a more likely scenario for next year.

Congratulations on the most hyperbolic post in this thread. After reading all 29 pages, that is saying something.

 

[llandz]

Just gonna say, they all called, but do you think they are only calling him? Some players are going to get burned in all of this. Calling is not the same as committing. They are calling 5or 6 or even 10 players. I am sure Kadary will end up fine, but a player like Woody will get burned in the end.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

You aren't the brightest if you think that is a valid point. He was in the portal for an HOUR at that point and had already gotten calls from that many.

I’m sorry. I’ll try again. Kadary good. Boeheim bad.

Well that to me is a miserable reality when I plan to watch that for 70+ hours next winter.

.500 is probably the floor. This is on the hc for sure. But it is what it is. Guy is bringing in his other son to play. This is how jb wants to go out. His top priority isnt necessarily winning at this point. Maybe it will work out magically. Maybe it wont. But ppl who say were done for next four years are being hyperbolic. The truth is somewhere in between, and im as big of a kadary fan as anyone. It sucks this is self inflicted, but well field a team next year. The team will win some games. Jb will retire. Well bring in a good replacement. And well see where things go

 

[Newhouser]

Sure, but none of that warrants the flack he’s about to get from the fanbase that really should be directed at JB and the Athletic Program

The flack will be influenced by Kadary's production at his new home.

 

[OttoMets]

I should have added an assistant to my list of departures...

I'd actually be happy about that.

Plus it'll be fun to see Young Jimmy Boeheim getting hired to fill the player/coach role, nobody's done that for decades.

 

[Sherman20]

Goodine was the same

Yea but Kadary was actually playing. A lot. And he had a bright future here.

So STUPID. Kadary is so much better. Should’ve been starting since December. This is unreal.

Woody will end up at an A-10 school, at minimum. And will end up better off (a la B.J. Johnson) than he would have being buried on the bench at SU due to petty grudges held by the coach.

Anyone care to share the many facets of the DeShaun Williams story? I am pretty sure he had a couple outbursts directed straight at the HOF coach.

Boeheim has truly lost his marbles.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Has anybody used this gif yet?

 

[chugg21]

I’m sorry. I’ll try again. Kadary good. Boeheim bad.

I'm sorry True Believer. Do you think that Joe was better than Kadary? If the answer to that is no then yes, Kadary good, Boeheim bad.

 

[Trueblue25]

Guessing the AC is Griff? Would be very unfortunate, he’s bailed us out multiple times with late commits after misses

 

[Orangefan1]

I guess I’m kind of at a loss for words at this point. Losing Richmond is big news but I don’t think he isn’t replaceable either

 

[Newhouser]

This is one of the worst days in SU basketball history.

Seriously?

 

[FloridaFan]

I guess I’m kind of at a loss for words at this point. Losing Richmond is big news but I don’t think he isn’t replaceable either

Who we going to get to replace him that good

 

[jgeorge322]

So apparently Kadary was told he’s not starting next year

dasher ?

 

[djcon57]

I guess I’m kind of at a loss for words at this point. Losing Richmond is big news but I don’t think he isn’t replaceable either

the replacement is Joe.
so unless you think Joe will be better than him, he’s not replaceable

Yea but Kadary was actually playing. A lot. And he had a bright future here.

His minutes grew for a stretch of 7 games in late Jan/early Feb, and then receded again. He went from playing 25+ minutes in 6 of 7 games, to not cracking 20 again until the Houston loss. I don't know if there were injuries or conditioning issues at play, but it was very clear that JB was not going to let Kadary go 25-30+ again. He consistently had him on the bench through the first 2 TV TOs of each half. I found it very strange, but nothing about JB's rotations this season made much sense to me.
