Woah
as recently as 2017 when dajuan, lydon and tt all saw minutes thereWe go 3 deep at center, when was the last time we had that? Never.
arinze had ricky, fab had both baye and rakWhy didn't we win championships with Arinze and Fab? Because they were both unavailable and we had no viable replacement. K, Dude.
This is the strongest Syracuse has ever been at the center position.
This has got to be satireWe go 3 deep at center, when was the last time we had that? Never. Marek creates a matchup problem and is a great high port player. Sidibe is getting healthy and can be a scorer down low. And, Chukwu is an intimidating force down low in the zone, which will come into play against the top ACC teams late in the game. 15 fouls to give, a real luxury.
It’s notThis has got to be satire

I guess that's the power of the internet. Make an insane comment that contradicts everything that has been posted on here all season, and then call those who make the obvious retort about said comment negative.Can any complement or show of support be given to the current team without a group of superior cynics shooting it down. I'm aware that Rony was a better center than any of our current guys, but that was a long while ago, so long it doesn't even register any longer. Dejaun was always hurt and that scuttled those seasons. AO was injured and down went that team. Fab was sidelined and that great season of opportunity hit the skids. I believe the 3 guys we have there now are going to take this team quite far, farther than all of you guys can imagine.
The problem with the internet is a statement is made, then repeated and then it becomes a fact. Weather or not it's valid or true is immaterial. I see it happen all the time on this board. As far as the center position at SU is concerned, I can count on one hand the number of seasons where injury or lack of depth and resulting constant foul trouble were not a issue. Sidibe is a much better player than people realize, offensively. He is just getting back to his full capabilities from an injury/ Marek creates match-up problem's and will pull big men out of the paint, and I think can, with his quickness, draw fouls on opposing centers. And having a 7'2" guy who plays great defense and has contributed to last years NCAA run as a third option is very high quality depth. I very encouraged by this group and think at this point it's an asset.I guess that's the power of the internet.

Here we are having a perfectly nice emotion-based discussion and you come along and muck it all up with one of those pesky facts.We had Derrick Coleman, LeRon Ellis, Conrad McRae, and Richard Manning all on the same team. 4 NBA draft picks who were either legit centers or PF’s that were actually big and could play center.

A loooong time ago. Before many of the current fans started following the team or were even bornWe had Derrick Coleman, LeRon Ellis, Conrad McRae, and Richard Manning all on the same team. 4 NBA draft picks who were either legit centers or PF’s that were actually big and could play center.

We'd rather not, but we might have to drive a stake through your heart.A loooong time ago. Before many of the current fans started following the team or were even born
RutgersAl has the same type of sentiment for a program that is so totally inept and without any basis of accomplishment it is laughable. I am talking about the Syracuse Orange basketball program who's history is full of glory and tournament runs and is coached by one of the greatest basketball minds of all-time: Hall of Famer,James Arthur Boeheim. If you don't see a difference, I feel sorry for you.RutgersAL?
Meh.2006 we had Daryl Watkins and Arinze Onuaku(both played in the NBA), with a PF with legit size who could slide over if needed(Roberts).
Don’t make me keep going...
Meh.
Sidibe is a real talent. He has had leg problems. Just watch and learn.We'd rather not, but we might have to drive a stake through your heart.

Marek is fast and cunningly agile. He is going to get guys in foul trouble early. When he learns not to get himself in foul trouble early.Watkins and AO(yes, even as a freshman) >>>PC and BS. And Roberts> Marek at playing C.
Sorry.

We go three deep now. Sidibe looks healed.So a young center with leg problems...that makes me feel so great about the present. Which is what your post was about.
By the way, Otis Hill and JB >>>>
