Kiyan is already our poster boy?

[HyattsCuse]

I get he has the name recognition, but was still surprised that he’s representing ’Cuse over Donnie or JJ on the Players Era page.

Melo is a brand.

 

[Cuse99&01]

What’s even more surprising is the Players Era has Auburns former coach on the ad

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Just how long has it been since that website was updated?

Is Red the only coach missing?

There are 18 teams playing.

The Associate Manager of Marketing who made that image probably had to use ChatGPT to figure out everyone who's participating.

There are 18 teams playing.

I bet Melo has a friendly chat with Kelvin Sampson about the goon squad hit job he got in Albany by the no-name foreign dude.

Could someone explain how this format works? 18 teams playing two games to determine a championship game and 3rd place game. Do they just take the teams that won 2 games and use scoring differential to determine the top 2 teams? Seems like a weird format

Plus I would think they prevent conference matchups, such as us playing Notre Dame.

Rick Barnes looks like Emperor Palpatine

Saw Kiyan gracing a photo display at a mall store yesterday for his American Eagle deal with Travis Kelce. He’s got a lot of marketing power given the job he and his parents / team have done since his HS days.

Zero percent surprised by this.

Kiyan Anthony is Carmelo’s son.

Out of all the players on our team, the people who aren’t Syracuse fans, the most notable one is Carmelo’s son.

Of course they are going to use Kiyan for a national poster.

Also this wasn’t produced by Syracuse Univeristy.

 

[Biaxtar]

Non-Syracuse basketball fans who start converstaions about the team with me always start with something like "they got Melo's son right?"

I’m usually getting something like “ What the heck has happened to you guys?”

Is Red the only coach missing?

6 (well 5 now) of 18 teams have the coach on there
7 players of the 18 teams
9 teams out of 18 represented in the graphic (I think that's a Kansas player at the top)

At least we're on there, unlike Notre Dame, Rutgers, Creighton, Baylor, San Diego St, Maryland, UNLV, Iowa State and Oregon.
