IF AND ITS A HUGE IF. Sids tendinitis is better, The kid from the picks cuse we will be better.There are a couple people on the board that are insinuating the team will be better next year. Please give me an idea of how this will be the case?
Syracuse loses three starters -- a senior guard, a senior center and the team's leading scorer.
There are four commits currently -- two combo guards, a small forward and a center that, in my opinion, is a project.
No Top 40 players committed, no McD's All-Americans, and most importantly -- nobody to fill the starting center or starting point guard role.
A ton of IF's -- if Sidibe makes a leap, if Carey makes a leap, if Hughes/Brissett become more consistent, if Boeheim gains more agility/strength in offseason, if Goodine can come right in and play, if Guerrier is the small forward with inside outside skills that we have been missing... the list goes on.
Trying to find positives about the future but there are just so many question marks...
Yeah way too many ifs for me too feel comfortable stating that were better next season.There are a couple people on the board that are insinuating the team will be better next year. Please give me an idea of how this will be the case?

But this is exactly what this board specializes in.Nobody in March is going to get even close to guessing right. There’s too many unknowns.
When you put it like this, it actually sounds pretty reasonable. They should make a pretty formidable "junior trio."Hopefully the junior trio of Hughes, Oshae, and Marek become the vocal/team leaders.

no, we really don't.we clearly need to fire boeheim /s
Absolutely!Exactly.
IF AND ITS A HUGE IF. Sids tendinitis is better, The kid from the picks cuse we will be better.
Girard is twice the guard as Frank. The Kid from Mass 3 times better. Buddy is going to improve same with Hughes and Marek. Bras as well. I really hope OB comes back as he is tough and we need that. Key is we need better chemistry and i cant see how that doesnt improve. We will be better.
"/s" is the sarcasm switch - internet thing. He was clearly joking/referring to some posters on the board who clearly have that opinion.no, we really don't.
Every year I hear about how much better we're going to be, how much better the guys coming in are than the ones who leave and how underrated the unranked recruits are and every year since its been like this we're on the bubble or close.
we can't be a lot better which is the goal!!!!! we have fallen so very far from real su basketball. at this point we should not be settling for maintaining the status quo, but rather, who we CHOOSE to take from the elite.We can't be a lot worse. Battle will be tough to replace the other 2 not as much. I think the biggest key is adding a center. I.like the guys we are bringing in.
Crazy people said that!
We had Jalen Carey and two projects last year. This year everyone was excited because of the people coming back...and the transfer.
The year before that we had OB, which people were rightfully excited about, and a bunch of kids we threw together at the last minute.
The year before that we had Tyus, who was legit, Matthew Moyer, who looked like crap even in his highlight reels but apparently could play music and was a really nice kid, and Thompson? Who sorta panned out...and then lost his mind and now barely plays for Seton Hall.
We had a legit good class with Mali, Lydon, but Frank turned out to be...well, Frank. Which seemed odd as I feel like when he was recruited there was a lot of talk about him being a high character guy.
i was being sarcasticno, we really don't.

Thank you - I get it '79 but I can live w/o the sarcasm side - it get's very old sometimes. OK, 2012."/s" is the sarcasm switch - internet thing. He was clearly joking/referring to some posters on the board who clearly have that opinion.
