one can only wonder

I should have chose my words more wisely, they were big time recruits.

That said it wasn't a surprise they blew up and became great players.

it won't be a surprise when Roberson does, either . . . to us. But the rest of the nation will see his ~300 minutes and relatively small freshman stat line and think "how does Syracuse keep coming up with these guys?"

PG - MCW/Ennis
SG - Dion/Cooney/Patterson
SF - CJ/Gbinije/Johnson
PF - Grant/Rak/Roberson
C - Fab/DC/BMK

Yeah, safe to say that team could have gone undefeated.

Of course you can play this game with any team, and the results will be the same. Everyone loses players early at the elite level. Still fun to consider what might have been.

I don't think the NCAA would have allowed us 14 scholarship players.

Well we have 3/5ths of that starting lineup, and a backcourt that will be very good this year with at least one of them being a future NBAer.

I don't quite understand why. We went 34-3 and in the biggest loss of the 3, Dion fouled out - so he got all the playing time he could handle in that game.

I think the playing time arrangement forced Dion into some personal reflections and really helped him mature.

I'm glad we weren't in a situation where JB felt there was a need to tolerate his immaturity. I believe the program is stronger for it.
