Class of 2023 PG Garwey Dual (TX) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (4/11/26)

[IthacaMatt]

Wilkins is overrated. Turns it over and shoots it at a low percentage from deep. You’re name brand scouting.

Funny, but the difference between Wilkins' three point shooting and Tobiason is negligible. Half a point shooting difference; one guy made 65 threes on the season and the other made 68, both on about 190 attempts.

 

[IthacaMatt]

Who’s 4 sienna guys?

Doty and the Center are signed. Moesch and Folefac are expected.

 

[IthacaMatt]

like who?

LIke I said before, you should ask Gerry.

If I wasn't keeping *any* starters from last year's team, I wouldn't say at my first press conference, "Hey folks, the cupboard ain't bare."

I mean, he did say that, did he not?

Are you impressed to keep 2 bench guys, only one of whom is good enough to start?

Yeah and who played in the better conference against stiffer competition? Tobiason had a TS% of 60 pct vs Wilkens 57 pct and AT is in the better conference. PER was about the same again AT playing better competition,

 

[JaySU22]

This is a good get. Good metrics, good tape. We’re putting together a defense that will be tough to play against.

yes he did say that and he was right. 2 players is not bare. why did you want to keep soare? there was nobody else. so soare was the answer?

 

[BEGood]

Doty and the Center are signed. Moesch and Folefac are expected.

Oh didn’t realize that folefsc and more h signed? Also didn’t know moesch played for sienna this year? What were his stats?

 

[Orangezoo]

Doty and the Center are signed. Moesch and Folefac are expected.

They are possible not expected. If you follow the tea leaves it might only one or even none. Tillery is now very much a target too.

 

[Strathless]

Do you want 4 Siena guys and no one from a P4/P5 school?
Do you think that makes the NCAAs?

These threads are funny. Imagine being followed around at Wegman's with the same level of scrutiny.

"Great, we're going to have a bag of onions for dinner? Seriously, you think one head of garlic is going to make a difference? Perfect, some aluminum foil so I can wrap up my onions and garlic and eat that..."

Man, we've been here five minutes and haven't hit the meat section yet. Just chill.

 

[23Zone]

If Dual defended George, Dual would completely destroy him, eat his lunch, poop on him, say goodnight

 

[IthacaMatt]

yes he did say that and he was right. 2 players is not bare. why did you want to keep soare? there was nobody else. so soare was the answer?

So, if that's all he was keeping, I think he would have been better off not saying what he said

2 means not bare. bare would be 0. you're hung up on semantics for nothing.

Actually, my friend, Wilkins played for the #65 team in KenPom - McNeese State, and Temple was 159th, behind Towson, Idaho, William & Mary, Wright State and about 20 more punching bags.

So, no, I disagree that Temple played a tougher schedule, or was a better team. Both played a strength of schedule a little over 100.

How do you know he didn’t try to keep more?

 

[2B20Again]

It seems to me that if he wanted Donnie and could turn his head around, and if he was able to keep Kingz, to go with Sadiq and Kiyan and maybe Soare, all of those guys would have given us a more solid foundation that we see so far.

Wow I’ll take the new guys. Donnie soft, great talent but soft, Soure much rather have the kid fro Siena.Kingz wasn’t a choice.

Wilkins played for Furman- who was 184 in KP and the highest rated conference member was at 164 with most everyone below 200.. so no you aren’t correct.

Temple is in the American with 9 teams higher in the KP than the top team in the SoCon including 3 in the top 100.

 

[IthacaMatt]

I agree. I was just taking issue with what Gerry said.
I agree it's better that Donnie moved on.

 

[IthacaMatt]

OK, my mistake. But Furman's SOS was 108 and Temple's was 107.
Point still stands. They played roughly equal talent last year.

Lots of high tensions on the board this weekend.

At the end of the day I come here to laugh.

chat with other members about Syracuse.

Whether it be positive or negative and try to make other people laugh.

It definitely sucks seeing a bunch of us bickering but it’s hard not to tbh given the climate and NIL.

It’s pretty exhausting actually. I definitely don’t come here to pick arguments.

I really, really, really hope we are good next season.

 

[Madbiker]

4 schools in 4 years? Raises concerns.
If all we get are mid major players will we end up with a mid major team?
The plan seems to be to create a team comprised of all star (1st/2nd team) mid major players. Maybe because they cost less??

The non conference doesn’t make your case for you. Furman played a total of 1 top 100 team in KP until the NCAA and it was just High Point. Temple played multiple ( inckuding in conference) they just also played more sub 300 games than Furman. The tails of the curve average them out but Temple faced more quality opponents and that’s not up for debate.

This thread needs an enema.

That’s the thing we can all agree on. We are all like this because we are diehard cuse bball fans and are thirsty to get back where we deserve to be

Maybe because they’re good players?

That we know of. We didn’t know about 3m. The doom and gloom because we arnt linked to a player is just funny to me and overblown. Again George was a top pg last year how did that work?

Jfc. Do you have “doom and gloom” as a macro on your PC?

Your gatekeeping efforts are just ridiculous.

Your application of one player’s fortunes/results to any others is also ridiculous. George played in a given context last year. The previous year, he played in a different context. I think we were mostly pleased to get him. So, I guess since he was a ‘bust,’ we shouldn’t go after people we would be pleased to get. We shouldn’t go after a “top pg.” We shouldn’t pay a PG $3M…. Please codify all the rules that would keep you happy, with both the roster and how we communicate here.
