He’s gotta know how much of a legend he would be if he led Cuse to a natty.

Despite the way Syracuse’s 2021 season ended, with a loss to Georgetown in the NCAA Tournament, Spallina is still bullish on the Orange’s future.

“Think there are some really bright days ahead for Syracuse,” Spallina said. “I really can’t wait to play for coach Desko. Can’t wait to get there, do everything I can to help get Syracuse back into the Final Four.”

Didn't have a lot of concern about him decomitting but this is always good to hear.

I agree but the question is would a coaching change affect that? SI Syracuse did a great job of interviewing each ‘22 commit shortly after they verballed. Most of them mentioned their relationship with Desko & Rogers as playing a big role in their commitment. Everyone’s excited about the ‘22 offensive commits but it’s also going to be the best defensive group we’ve brought in in years.

I could very likely be naive, but if I'm Spallina, the recent troubles at SU only enhance my desire to go there more. As someone mentioned above, it is likely no one will wear 22 next year and the number has certainly been tarnished. Joey can come in with all the talent in the world and raise up a long standing power in the sport? Be the absolute alpha? Seems even more enticing to me. Add to that his class is stacked, so it's not as if he is looking at coming to the school with a bunch of average players.

That said, his relationship with Desko is big, but I truly don't see Desko being gone next year. Lelan may be asked to move on.

You don’t have to have stripes on your arm to have honor, Harold!

I think it would be fair to call this the Miles Thompson shot just like backhanders are called the Lyle Thomson shot.

 

[ivorytower]

That shot is indefensible, only chance to stop is if it just hits the goalie or misses cage

 

[Powellfan]

Another absurd stat line from Spallina - four goals and seven assists against Half Hollow Hills West in a 16-2 win.
