You know what we don't know, whether Nova being a Catholic school gives them an edge.

What?!?

 

[dasher]

What?!?

What is the what? He went to a Catholic school in Mt St Mary. Now he is visiting Nova. You don't know any people that like to go to Catholic schools. Really? You don't? For some people,their Religion is very important to them. I am surprised you don't know that.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

And we didn't do that. As said above a number of times, red has liked and respected this guy for years.

Dash: people are going to believe their narrative. Might as well stop trying.

Billy Edelin was unstoppable vs Chris Thomas. Edelin scored 15 in a half taking Chris Thomas into the post and schooling him.

Watching highlights of our new transfer Davis, I was reminded of Edelin and his ability to dribble into his guy and post him up. Davis also has a similar over the shoulder shot, using his body to shield off the defender.

Of course, Edelin was playing against a sub 6' point guard, and Davis will be playing against ACC forwards and centers. But the move looks the same.

I'm disappointed I couldn't find any video of Edelin vs Thomas. Was 2003 the dark ages?

Yeah. That little “bump” before he goes up for the shot really hinders the defender. Billy was great at it.

 

[OmahaCuse]

What?!?

Fair question, family could be very religious and catholic education is great. Nova is a excellent school

U don’t know a thing about me. Lifelong traditional Catholic. My kids went to Catholic schools and colleges except for my son who went to Syracuse. I served on the board of our Diocesan schools.
You also don’t know a thing about the kids upbringing.
I respect u but this reaction is ingg insane.

Hak always said it was impossible to block Billy's shot.

 

[Cusefan69]

People must have low opinions of Red and his intelligence if you genuinely believe he only hired the new assistant head coach so he could get what amounts to a one year rental on not even a top tier talent. I mean if you just stop and actually just think about that for a second.

No What was insane was you making a deal about something you know nothing about. I know a lot of people who would not think of going to any school other than a Catholic school. So, since you questioned what I was talking about..THAT WAS IT. Since you said you are Catholic as I am, I wonder why you would question that.

I also post on a private board of Syracuse fans. There is none of the nonsense that we are stuck with on this board. Most of the guys don't post on this board any longer. They are the smart ones.

How do you get in that private board?

 

[dasher]

How do you get in that private board?

Truthfully, we are very selective. At the end of every year, we have a nomination (of posters on this board) and see who we would like to ask to join us. If one person says no, that is it. But if everyone agrees, we ask the person if they would like to join. Only Alsacs has ever turned us down. And he wasn't really asked. I asked him if I could nominate him and he said he was already on a private board and that was enough for him.

 

[50YRsofCuse]

Engelstad's record at Mt. St. Mary's was pretty awful. His resume wouldn't have gotten anywhere close to the top of the pile if a search firm had looked for someone.

I would have taken a chance on that young big man coach at IMG, who has connections to the NBA talent camp / program in Africa and has also been on the Nigeria national team.

If Engelstad is being hired for his bench experience, geez, it seems to me we could have found someone other than a guy whose only success as a head coach was in Division 3 seven or eight years ago.

Red hired him. That is enough you can say about it. Red must like something (other than his former point guard) to hire him.

I can't imagine your initiation process.

Made me laugh

Been following you for a long time and enjoy your posts. This board has gone unhinged. I like the days when Dean Francis posted. You’re spot on with Leffee.

Dean is just another example of guys that we have lost here.

 

[IthacaMatt]

Well, part of it was that he had to make a living from his content. Nobody begrudges him that.
But, yes, idiots grilling people about their sources has driven away many good contributors to the board.

 

[PeteCalvin]

It’s good news he’s taking his visit to Xavier. Obviously means he wasn’t blown away by Nova. Not enough to commit to them while there. And the crazy way recruiting works out is he could have gave us a silent verbal but still wanted to take visits to make sure he wanted to be at Syracuse. Just throwing my thoughts out there doesn’t mean it’s true or not.

He would be the starter here. Nova just signed the PSU kid and have other guards rostered. Xavier is still looking and in the hunt for a kid they could hand the keys to even if Leffew picked them. SU is still the safest bet for him to load up on PT. This delay has to be about the bidding at this point.

 

[OmahaCuse]

Staff needs to go after Roach, Wagner and Fland. No one is promised a starting role or minutes. We should be able to land one of them take the keys from Mintz

Or, Red's big board changed very recently. To be clear, that's just a wild guess. But, something changed this weekend. Cone of silence.

I will pass on Wagner and to get one of these guys, promises are going to be made. But that is okay.

 

[zilo]

I still think after landing our starting pg Red is going to surprise us with one last random addition we didn't seeing coming...like he did with Cuffe last year.
