No matter how things unfold, no matter who the next head coach ends up being...

Have to have a real PG but have to have a real offense a PG can run…

The story with Morris is that we recruited him, and he came to the elite camp [where he killed it] with his family, who expected him to receive an offer. They were prepared to accept, which is why the whole family was in town to tour the campus, etc. outside of him playing in the camp. I think there may have even been a reporter from his local [Detroit?] press on hand to cover it. Morris [I believe -- may have this detail wrong] was in the same class as Ennis, and was cool coming here alongside Ennis.

Very surprisingly, Boeheim opted to NOT offer him. The family was stunned, as Syracuse was his top choice. He proceeded to end up at Iowa State, where he played on some good teams, ended up being a multi-year all-american, and had a lengthy NBA career.

But apparently, he wasn't good enough to play here.

The what ifs with that backcourt and then you could have had SGA and just uggh. Our start to being in the ACC would have looked a lot different.

Silent G was a great player. I would kill to have him now

Same.

I also loved that he would occasionally try to launch for a dunk just inside the free throw line. I don't think I saw him make one, but man he had some FANTASTIC missed dunks. It caught me off guard every time...cuz he never seemed like someone that was just going to take off like that otherwise.

I am 46 and am still dealing with Long Covid, just got referred to a LC clinic out here. It’s been a really difficult few years, appreciate you saying something.

Sorry to hear that, I hope things get better for you. My father had some extended symptoms as well after he was infected for the first time. It's no joke.

...I really hope that we get back to having a superior point guard. PG is such a competitive advantage in college hoops -- the most important position on the floor, and most years we aren't as good there as we need to be.

Need a superior point guard plus someone who can score, be that the small forward or the shooting guard. Center and power forward have to rebound well but not necessarily the top quality.

Murderers row there

Murdered the SU program

Yes the old man did

Citruscide.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Yes the old man did

His was the first blow, to be sure

 

[NCo’range]

…hope he has unbelievable motivating skills.

Howard was a buffoon -- and an absolute loon who submarined recruiting and caused locker room friction.

Tossed from Gonzaga first semester freshman year as discipline issues. That’s how he ended up at PVI. So yes he had known baggage.
