Now that GMac is HC, what does next year's squad look like?

Vinny Lobdell said today NIL of $4-5 million. So that’s $9 with direct comp. Not enough.

Whether that's true or not, unequivocally will not be obtained exclusively through Secondary/ tertiary Internet sources and certainly message boards. In lieu of that what are your thoughts as it relates to upping the ante?

I’m not a Kelsey fan at all - but they were 16-5 with Brown and 7-5 without him.

Their team was essentially built around him

Is it too early to start looking for portal signs from our current and future players Instagram posts?

George posted about 20 mins. I’m reading it as he’s out altho it’s mostly pics of him in orange.

I can also go into the details about his picture of vegeta from dragonball Z as well but I doubt people care about that here.

After his GMac talk?

Watching all these NCAA tourney games, one thing we’re definitely going to need next season is way more size (and physicality). Michigan, Illinois, Duke, Arizona, Tennessee all have huge size. JB’s philosophy for years was to try to be bigger than your opponents at every position. We’ve definitely gotten away from that. Gmac is gonna have to find some big guys in the portal. But he does have a potentially good big man coach in AO, who was one of my favorite SU players from that golden era. We shoud have won a championship when he was here if not for that post-season injury!

Jbs thing was taller. We need muscle.

George can leave for all I care

Whoever this is is predicting Andrew Ball to come to Cuse. Interesting player. 6’9 215 SG

Seems unlikely. A quick Google search shows he visited LaSalle a couple days ago. If we are competing with LaSalle for portal guys, we’re in big trouble.

As the 14th man? That’s not an account with a clue. Ball is an inefficient taller wing who came off the bench in the CAA.

 

[hoopsupstate]

6’9” 225 lbs. two guard who didn’t start as a junior. 30% from three.

Perfect for LaSalle

Really reaching for that social media graphic "Top Players in the Portal"...

We have a right to our opinions. Many of us continued to remain positive during the years of fading under JB and during all 3 years of the Red debacle. We had a chance to FINALLY turn the page away from the Boeheim era and another family hire and gain a fresh perspective, and maybe hire a great proven coach, and instead we’re doing more of the same. Fool me once… I hope Gmac succeeds. I really do. But I’m not being blindly positive about this until I see evidence otherwise.

I understand your decision to not be blindly positive until seeing evidence otherwise.
For many years, SU hoops slowly sucked the life out of me -pretty much just hanging on as a fan.
The GMac hire was like CPR -he's our guy, and he's a winner. I decided to be blindly positive.
Now I've donated to the coach's fund, the next day bought seasons for the first time in many years, and will be there 4pm Monday.
I'm supporting GMac, allowing myself to get excited about SU hoops again.
The coming years could be very special -got on the train now before it leaves the station, and feeling great.
SU has made their move, the $ are there, and I think it's now or never to avert SU's tailspin into irrelevance.
So I'm all in, and if GMac doesn't win then I'll live with that.
But I believe that GMac WILL win, and that being fully bought in from the start will make it even more special!

The new coaching change transfer rules for 2026 is players can enter the transfer portal 5 days after the new coach is named or announced. They don't need to wait for the regular portal window, so if they want to jump in they can do it now.
