% likelihood of each player returning

[pearl31]

I know it's been alluded to and discussed a bit in other threads, but I'm hoping we can use this thread to just focus on our current players and how likely it is that each one is back next year. So, give your best-guess likelihood % for each of:

- Buddy
- Jimmy
- Swider
- Benny
- Jesse
- Frank

I think this is about where I'd put my guess, too - though I'd probably bump up the Benny % to 90

Buddy 75% (if brother petition approved, 10% if denied)
- Jimmy 75% if petition approved
- Swider 50%
- Benny 40%

Am curious about your Benny %

 

[UpstateSM]

I’ll be pleasantly surprised if both Jesse and Frank come back. I reaaaally want both of them but Frank could start at a ton of good basketball programs and if he doesn’t want to be a second option again I get it.

Hopefully he likes it here and doesn’t mind being the backup one more season. I’m an idiot but his ceiling seems super high to me.

Buddy - 25%

Swider - 25%
Benny - 75%
Jesse - 75%
Frank - 90%

These are all total guesses obviously. I think if Jimmy is back, then Buddy is back.
Swider, I have no idea honestly, just gave his same odds. Seems to enjoy the team. Maybe feels a good year could help his pro chances?

I think Benny is leaning to coming back because honestly I don't know if he will have a ton of suitors, has many ex-SU pros telling him to stick the course, family seems to be ok...I do think if Jimmy is back, I would guess he would bounce.

Jesse, only to go pro. I think he wants another year to work on his game.

Frank, if Jesse goes, he stays obviously...and I think he'll get enough confidence to stick it out.

We'll see though..things are always change. I don't think anyone this time last year expected Bras gone or Q in Oregon. (the others, ya, probably)

Only question I have is if it’s a non-zero chance Jimmy and Buddy are back.

Everything else is in flux until those two are settled.

Agreed... I might not come back if the Boeheim brothers are back. I'm waiting on their decision as well.

The bros have it made. They're not going anywhere. Shoot all you want, no real pushback from the father, defense is optional. They love it at Cuse. Just can't see them leaving. Swider will follow suit, Jess coming off an injury will stay the course. Frank showed his promise, he might bolt of all them. The rest of the season will tell. He might want a starting gig.

That's fair, and I tend to agree.
I just don't think Buddy would have publicly and unequivocally stated, on more than one occasion, that he won't be back unless he was absolutely positive

 

[jgeorge322]

Jesse coming back is more likely than Frank. Frank is going to sit the pine once Jesse gets healthy. Also, Frank is ok. He is still a year away of being good at this level.

Jimmy 10
Buddy 35
Cole 50
Benny 75
Jesse 95

[miamicuse]

I say Jimmy and Buddy 0. I have to take their words, JB said he is petitioning for Jimmy, Jimmy said he is petitioning because he believes ivy league players deserve another year due to COVID not that he will use it but he will petition to help others.

I don't understand everyone rating Cole around 50%. What is he going to do if he doens't stay here?

 

[721Comstock]

I don't understand everyone rating Cole around 50%. What is he going to do if he doens't stay here?

Apply for his AARP card, and then start receiving Social Security?

 

[pearl31]

I don't understand everyone rating Cole around 50%. What is he going to do if he doens't stay here?

I tend to agree but then I think back to preseason chatter of his plan for this to be his 1/only season here, and then a couple weeks ago on the radio show when addressing the subject JB seeming to not include Swider in who should be back...

 

[chugg21]

I don't understand everyone rating Cole around 50%. What is he going to do if he doens't stay here?

Think because he will have played 4 years and may have 2 degrees and be ready to move along.

 

[OrangeFoo]

In think Jesse is gonzo… he will get into the draft evaluation process and get a 1st round score. He can focus on developing a 10 foot jumper while getting stronger/more explosive all while getting paid NBA dollars.

Not many big men have his footwork… but right now he’s neither an elite run runner nor a guy with all the offensive moves. But the potential is there.
