I don't understand how the evaluation of Kaleb Joseph was so wrong. I mean it wasn't even just Syracuse who was wrong, he was ranked higher than all they players mentioned in this thread by the recruiting services. That's the spot that is just killing us right now.

You assume that he has no potential to play at this level, even with a change of scenery or late-term growth.

I don't necessarily disagree, but I would hold off on his obituary until we see how his career ends up.
 
Future? Do you really think Joseph is part of the rotation next year? Or were you saying Richardson and Thomas at guard with Roberson and Lydon at forwards? While possible, even that is a stretch.


Two very promising freshman, a 3rd frosh developing, and a nice class and a transfer big coming in to clear the decks of the mess of the last couple of years.

With these kids you cannot always tell if they were evaluated wrong or they just didnt fit wth the coach / system and they never developed properly. Not like they are finished products when they get here. For all we know, had he gone somewhere else he would be fine.

Confidence is a major thing. He seems to have none, and Boeheim obviously has none in him.

I watched Joseph get in the lane and make floaters and mid range jumpers at will, in the exhibition game against Carleton (experienced and pretty good Canadian team) last year. I think he had 19 points. He looked well on his way at that point.

He has better skills and talent than he's shown. Hopefully he can get it together and play to his potential.
 
The 2013 class was rated by the experts as the #6 or 7# recruiting class coming in without a burger boy in the outfit. One of Canada's best, NJ's best, Pa's best lead the charge and rounded out by the others. You need a combination of all when recruiting. Great players will leave, long term serviceable players stay 4 or 5yrs, some transfer for various reasons and some just hang on as deep bench players to be apart of the team/practice players. Now, that being said, BJ was not a miss at all, maybe mismanaged but definitely not a miss. He was recruited and was locked up early by the coaching staff. If not for the circumstances, BJ would still be playing significant role on this team. So really no need to wonder.
Thank God you are okay. I was worried to death when during our 5 game winning streak you were nowhere to be found. I thought, I sure hope nothing has happened to BJ's dad. becasue believe me, I know how happy for us you were when we were winning 5 straight. This was going to be a tough year. not because of the kids we lost. we didn't lose anyone, no offense meant, that is anywhere near as good as Mali and Lydon. And I would take Howard with pretty much anyone who left. No, the reason this was going to be a tough year was our lack of inside defense. Chris M could have helped there. next year, we will be back with a terrific team

Your are a complete idiot!!! You have no idea of what kind of relationship I have with the folks up there nor understand that I communicate with JB in support of him having a good year. As recently as the win over BC. If your gonna have classless posts you should not post. It only further solidifies my statement. You think you know me but you don't! By any means of the your imagination. Oh by the way, I am doing well and right back atcha as I continue to watch the games pulling for the players and coaches to succeed. If you've never been in the struggle then you probably have no idea of what's it like in players fraternity for your brothers. Save that BS for someone else!!!

Just about everyone here knows I am correct. We won 5 straight and we didn't hear a peep from you. We lose two in a row and lo and behold, here you are. I could have told everyone you would be here today. So save your false outrage. And you don't know me and what I have done either. So save your condescending comments. You are very transparent.

True but the response was to since the two 5th years weren't doing much, maybe we should have gotten a glimpse of the future which to me implied wanting to see them BOTH sit and the freshmen play as part of unit. I do believe that Thomas is part of the future jus not part of the 2016-17 starting 5.

When was the last time you communicated with coach and if you checked my recent posts you would see that I'm still a supporter of the team in spite of idiots like yourself. I personally know most of the players and pull for them so stop it!!
 
if you need to speak to him JB's at the lacrosse game today.
 
Everyone here knows about Cooney. Kid would be great as a dude off the bench who can come in, play hard nosed D, hit 3's, hustle, play 18-20 min, etc. But the fact that we need him to produce for 37mpg kills us.

I really want to see Kaleb for at least 5-7mpg at this point. He can't be worse than some of the lapses we've seen with TC and G
Kaleb cannot play at this level. Period. He proved it last year, and again this year. If he could, he would play ahead of Howard, who can't shoot a lick at this point. (but certainly can pass.)

LOL sure you do. It was just a coincidence that you didn't post while we were winning 5 in a row and you came back when we lost two in a row.
 
I'm sure he will be glad to hear from you.

Have you notice that you are not getting many likes from posts of being a hater of the SU family. Un N believable!

You haven't been getting many since your return with the back handed, passive aggressive compliments that you pass off.
 
I've been reading OGBJ's posts in the past few months; I have to be honest: OGBJ used to be a valuable contributor to the board. Lately, his posts have come off as disingenuous at times and sour grapes at others. I think most SU fans wish BJ well at LaSalle and beyond but I'm not sure OGBJ is offering the board much at this juncture. Obviously, BJ leaving the program stings and his father is bitter but why do we have to be subjected to those feelings in a passive-aggressive way? Maybe there is a LaSalle hoops board?

I wasn't going to say anything but I have been inundated with emails from people thanking me. You can save the b.s about hater of the syracuse family. I have been here for over 40 years. I also didn't name call. You did. Says a lot more about you than me. I also gave you great advice a few years ago when I told you BJ needed to red shirt. You can say anything you want. the proof is in the pudding. 5 straight wins and not a peep from the loyal member of the Syracuse family. 2 straight losses and here you are.
 
Does this sound like the post of someone who is not wishing us well?

Sometimes, people pick and chose what they wish to support their argument, but that post WAS DURING OUR RUN!

I just have to ask why. Jeez, leave this stuff alone. Bobby genuinely believes in and supports the team.
READ THE POST IN THE LINK! It was and is not edited but I am sure some of you will find fault in it.
Let it go and enjoy, wow!

Please spare me. He doesn't root for us. and I don't care one bit whether he does or doesn't. That is his business. But he doesn't post when we win 5 in a row and as soon as we lose, here he is.
