We’re gonna use man as our primary D this season. Watch an explosion of five star recruits Listing Syracuse in the next 6-8 months.

We've already abandoned it. What happens in Italy stays in Italy.

Honestly, we have a team that probably ought to play man against Notre Dame and teams that shoot it like that. I wouldn't be shocked to see him try it out a few games in preseason (although there are fewer opportunities to do so, beginning this year ...) just to see if he could get a 3 guard offense out there. It's pretty clear that we have been offensively challenged with rosters constructed the way they have been the last few seasons. Imagine a Carey, Buddy, Girard, Guerrier and Sidibe as a lineup.
