I wouldn't be surprised to see GMac get another coaching gig somewhere.
He wants that... but the first center he brings in is McLeod??People better get used to not having a true center. It’s not going to happen. Red wants bigs who can defend on the perimeter and able to shoot. The days of a low post, back to the basket post man are over.
That video is worth a visit to this threadSpeaking of...which one of you made this 10 years ago?
Heck i was going to suggest it was Huggy Bear and the month and half he was at WVU before he got canned! Or maybe it was his money hungry two timing dad!Serious question.
Who gets the credit for developing Jesse. Was it SU coaches or the camps and national teams he spent his summers with?

Good for Gerry if he gets a head coaching gig. But it would be a net loss for us if he leaves.I wouldn't be surprised to see GMac get another coaching gig somewhere.
I’d be interested to see who Red brings in when Gerry or another assistant does leave. I wonder if he goes “outside the family” or does something like grab DNich from Wake.I wouldn't be surprised to see GMac get another coaching gig somewhere.
But, the “decades” are no longer constant. We had, in that era, the tools to be the marquee program in our region and conference. The Dome was a new, shiny, beacon. Things have changed. Considerably. The Dome is less special. We are in a NIL era. Media covers everything, streaming gives a platform to everyone, and we are in someone else’s league.The constant through the decades is an irrational fan base. That's true of about every college.
I lived in Syracuse from 1981-1986 when the take on JB was that he couldn't recruit, and he couldn't win with the immense talent he had on board.
Red is doing just fine.
I’d say the Dome is even more special. It’s just so different and big…and the fans show out when the team is producing for big games.But, the “decades” are no longer constant.

It’s probably truer to say “Red might do just fine.”
“Is doing” is generous, depending on what “just fine” means. We may have been just fine for the last five years, but why would we want just fine? Is that irrational for an invested fan(atic)? I guess the answer is in the word itself. A fanatic is not so much rational.
I've long thought of the Dome as a limiting factor, and still do. Yes, there's a lot of history and when it's packed there are few venues that can compete, but that hasn't been very often for the last 10 years - Which is more a problem with the team performance than it is on the venue, but still. People show up for Duke, UNC, GTown and other marquee games but when there's less than 20K in attendance it looks bad on TV and sounds like a library.
If we can get back to being a perennial or near-perennial tournament team maybe that'll change, but there's a reason why the nationwide trend over the last 5-10 years has been towards smaller venues rather than bigger ones.
How did that work out?We have to get a rebounding guru into this program somehow. Make it a priority. If we get even a single rebound against UNC, it will only be because the heels get bored.
