Let's pretend we are the new GM of Syracuse Basketball

[CuseFaninVT]

I’m going after a kid like Lucas Mari, Spaniard who plays for UVM. 6’6” guard who plays with a ton of energy. Can defend forwards as well. Plays like a younger brother of Hugo González. He’s probably a year away from blowing up, so time to get in on the ground floor while the price is right.

Sitting here minding my own business….

That’s really funny.

How was Portugal?

How was Portugal?

Amazing. Loved it all. Porto-Douro Valley-Coimbra-Lisbon. Such great food and wine.

I want a much smarter and more skilled PG. I was very disappointed with George this year. Too many turnovers and dude shot 29% from 3 yet took nearly 4 a game. Just bad decision making between hoisting up 3's too quickly and constantly looking for the homerun pass that often led to a turnover.

I certainly want a couple guys on our roster that are 40% or better from 3, but a player like Kingz, who can also find other ways to score. I'm really tired of having a guy like Bell or Betsey who don't do anything else but shoot 3's. Betsey wasn't too bad because at least he came off the bench but having Bell in the starting lineup who didn't rebound or look to drive was frustrating. We need guys who have some versatility besides only shooting from deep.

I want a center who can shoot threes. Pull the opposing big man out of the lane and let our athletes attack the basket.

If it was me, I’m calling this Adam guy I know as a big Cuse fan with lots of $$$$$. At this point, I think it’s time we do anything and everything POSSIBLE, to get this program where it once was.

I think the new coach will be well supported. I don't understand the Nate hate. He wasn't great but for the most part he was ok to very good. We just had so few games where mist of our guys were on at the same time. The only good consistency came from Kyle and to lesser degrees White and Nate. So many up and down players
JJ imploding by the end of the year. There was talent on the team but so inconsistent it was impossible to know what we would get game to game

You weren’t watching the same team I was. Kyle and Kingz followed by white (in limited time). George had some good games but was the model of inconsistency. Way too many key to’s. A junior 3 rd Year in ACC. Could live with it if a freshman. A junior nope. Kayian needs to get stronger anc play a lot better D. Very skilled on offensive end but lacks strength. Need legit center and a couple drop dead shooters.

First year cull the roster. Win like 3 games and focus exclusively and recruiting the entire season

We need wider and thicker big guys. We just get pushed around. We still have bodies like we were playing zone.

Agreed but don’t forget taller too. The entire ACC went right over the top of us.Kyle was great blocking shots when he helped off his man but he couldn’t stop the multitude of skilled 6’11” guys that everybody but us seemed to have.

Absolutely. We really need to go in the portal and get at least two guys 6’10” and 250 lbs.
