He's hilarious and seems like a fun teammate/person to be around.

I hope he's healthy this year. We are a much better team when he's available.

Dad 7-5, mom 5-5.

McLeod is a funny dude. Good things to say about a lot of guys.

Like that Red went to him about Lampkin.
Love his confidence, and the fact that now we know that he was hurt all year. We haven’t seen the best of him.
Great news on Chance.

We could be really good if everyone is healthy.

 

[PauliePeppas]

Super super likeable kid

Real easy guy to root for. Sucks we only had him on the court injured.

Mellow Jonah Hill is a good interviewer. Naheem is an interesting guy. I loved the tough guy persona about people scoring on him but the not wanting to play in the NIT made me cringe. I understand it but still tough from a competitive standpoint to hear people say no to playing ball.

Two things I learned.

1. He knew he wanted to come to SU mid season last year.

2. Red let the players vote on the NIT.

Tells you everything about the players. I like Red letting them vote.

Hidden in the interview was a reference to things that have been alluded to here: the locker room was a circus.
Not playing in the NIT may have been more about not being with some teammates than not wanting to play.

 

[orangefog]

I've always looked up to him.

I've always looked up to him.

I see what you did there.

I'm sure they say no to playing pickup games at times. Saying no to the NIT is only slightly different than that. There's nothing at stake. There's no pride to be gained. The school would have to find a spot to display the banner while also hiding it, if we managed to win the whole thing.

IDK. I get the argument that some fans want to see the team play extra games. The argument that declining it is anti-competitive doesn't resonate with me, though.

Me too and I think Red is savvy enough to understand that the "issues" going on behind the scenes would come out. He took the high road all season and waited. Well played.

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

I will say it again chemistry completely disintegrated after he got hurt. Glad to have guys like him on the team.
As far as not going to the NIT it shows exactly what the problem with this team was. I am 43 and will still sub in a men’s league anywhere anytime looking for a game. Real hoopers want to play.
