Over/under 8.5 scholarship players next year

[AlpharettaCuse]

They do. They’ve been over. Goodness.

Been over since when?

 

[NineOneSeven]

Been over since when?

Let me go check

To answer the question, we'll easily be over 8.5 scholarship players. I don't think that's really in question.

That however doesn't change the fact that Kadary was a huge loss and that our recruiting and general success has continued to trend downward over the past 6 or so years.

 

[SBU72]

I remember when we used to be ranked every week and made good postseason runs. Guess the standards have changed

Yup just like the conference they play in changed.

 

[pokercuse08]

I didn't count it as Top 25. I said #26. Learn to read.

I can read just fine...

We haven't been ranked in the Final Top 25 Poll since 2014.

We were #26 in the final poll in 2018.

That was your response to that, as if it counts. Horseshoes, hand grenades, and top-25 polls?

 

[Fly Rodder]

Yup just like the conference they play in changed.

They'd still be a top 3 seed if they were in the Big East like UConn?

That's a bold take.

Ah yes it's the ACC's fault SU can't compete anymore...

AlpharettaCuse said:
We were #26 in the final poll in 2018. Also don't forget that #10 ranking in 2016, when when we made the Final Four. Awful.

“Another” as in we’ve been ranked many, many times in the Top 25 final poll.

Again, learn to read.

Are you counting Chaz in your total lol?

In reality you are probably right, but one year we had 9 I think and had to play Brandon Bayer in a tournament game and I could see that same situation next year.

So wait the takeaway is we lost Kadary because of sanctions?

No, we landed Kadary. He was barely a Top 100 kid, right? He's transferring just like the 1000 other kids in the portal. Like Washington, Goodine and Carey, who all are not very good. Not the end of the world. JB usually does well in the transfer portal.

No. Kadary is and was better than all of them. What is this spin? And last years class was clearly better than their ranking.

If he ends up at FSU I hope JB prays we have A better record than them, because if he doesn’t he will deserve all the criticism coming.

Again, learn to read.

We can all read and we all know you were trying to spin a #26 into a top-25. I'm done, arguing with you is pointless. Have a good day.

If you could read, you'd have seen where I pointed out the Top 10 ranking in 2016, the near miss in 2018 (#26) and the probable Top 25 ranking this year. Guess the world is not ending?

Have a good day yourself.

I can already see it, after a few losses;

“ ya know we don’t really have a point guard who can handle the press. Joe does okay there and marek helped us a bunch last year. Marek really was a terrific player. We gotta get better at handling pressure but these guys just aren’t ready yet”

Kadary is a better than them all for sure. But we may end up with a replacement as good or better, than Kadary. The overreaction last year was silly, as is this. Lots of time between now and the start of the season.

Oh really?

You think a more talented guy would want to find here knowing what happened with Kadary?

 

[AlpharettaCuse]

Oh really?

Yes, really, We got a verbal from Griff in April last year. Over 1,000 players in the transfer portal.

And we lost to the same schools we usually lose to.

What happened with Kadary? The kid was a freshman that played significant minutes. He has a lot of potential, but he wasn't a great player. Yes, I think someone as good or better would want to come here.

 

[AlpharettaCuse]

And we lost to the same schools we usually lose to.

And we made the Sweet 16.

 

[Cusefan0307]

No sht. Can we compete for conference titles ever again?

Maybe.

That's a bold take.

The whole dynamics of competition and recruiting changed when SU entered the ACC. How many poster predicted problems with the change in conference? A lot. How well have the other former BE schools now in the ACC fared. Other than Louisville, not well. How many times have people cried Carolina bias on officiating and conference decisions? So yes standards have changed
