Practice Report

[SoBeCuse]

I'm honestly worried about this statement and Sobe's well being. Anyone seen or heard from him? I realize there was no way he could have read the report and came away with a Frank bash, but it seems like the kind of post he would have commented on either way.

Nah, I don’t understand Syracuse basketball.

Don't be hurt now. Just teasing a bit.

I think that was Howard Washington.

Thanks ...keep forgetting about Washington. Too many Howards...and football has too many Johnsons!

Any breadcrumbs for those of us starving for news? Any sightings on who new guys bonded with? Just nosey.

2 and the 3...he will most likely start at the 3. Shooting is a major major strength

I thought Oshae was our '3'. I'm counting on further improvement by Marek as being the biggest X factor for this team. I envision Hughes as a 6th man off the bench and Battle's back-up. He could also be in there when we go "small". But I don't see him starting with everyone back from last year's starting line-up.

Sounds like Marek is a legit 6’10 now. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him at the 5 for period of time of Chucks struggles and Sid isn’t completely healed/chronic.

The forward positions are interchangeable in our system for the most part IMO.

I believe sobe is conducting a national search for who should be the next USC football coach. He has a lot on his plate.

I bet he’s 7 feet by November.

He's turning into Darko Milicic.

He's turning into Darko Milicic.

Don't ever jinx him like that.

JB got so many options along the frontline this year, will be very interesting to watch

Hughes: 6th man, maybe, but “Battle’s back-up?” When is Battle coming out of the game?
I have really high hopes/expectations for Hughes. I fear we will have a lot of Marek at ‘center’ justice because we will want Hughes on the court. An interesting problem to have.

Marek at center will be our best O lineup but could make the D less effective

 

[Orangefan1]

Is Marek really still growing?

 

[Ceerqqq]

When is Battle coming out of the game?

When we open up those 20-point leads...

Good point.

If Marek is an inch taller, has he put on any weight?

Nobody's playing 40 minutes this year.

he lost two pounds

 

[cuseinseattle]

he lost two pounds

The two pounds he lost was bad weight though. So it’s cool
