Red Presser 10AM Fri

[dwilmont44]

Red favorite band: Maroon 5.

Are you making a joke or is that real?

If that's real we need to back out asap.

 

[81South]

When might we hear the contract details for Red?

 

[grepal]

I do not blame you. I think this transition is hardest for many older fans. It makes me feel old.

It's not hard for me. I am just grateful. Great memories. Happy to continue rooting for SU.

Autry was my favorite player when he played and that Missouri game still goes down today as one of the best individual performances ever from an Orangeman. He was epic. He impressed me today and he has my full support.

I loved that 1994 team, they made it clear to recruits and everyone else that the NCAA sanctions weren’t going to hold back SU hoops, and Red was unreal in the Mizzou 2nd half and OT. And he was outstanding today!

 

[djorange1989]

I agree she is gorgeous despite haveing her Fathers nose.

Mostly Juli will overrule JBs nose

 

[Cusefan0307]

When might we hear the contract details for Red?

We won't. We never knew anything about JB's. We found out how much he made two years prior.

 

[kcsu]

Yeah….

The Athletic has a solid article today on Red

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

My lord that presser was perfect. I got way more emotional than I thought I would. Way to go JB and can’t wait for the new Red is the new Orange era!!!

 

[cuseinseattle]

Not making a point about Benny Williams one way or the other, I hope he stays.

But your other point is completely wrong. My three year old understands passive aggressive behavior.

I never get better hugs than when mommy pisses her off.

Benny absolutely could have decided he had better things to do with a thinly veiled excuse.

I hope that wasn't the case.

Benny is a Red recruit and it's Red that talked him back after the UVA game.

 

[OrangeCrush22]

He expects GMac and Griff to remain.

Will take time with new addition.

I just don’t see this going well, but I hope I’m wrong.

 

[HeaterCuse22]

Thanks for the kind words. My source is solid and sometimes things change in a very fluid situation. Thanks for the reminder why I normally don't post things like this.

You are quite welcome.

 

[HakAttack]

Brent Axe is such a hack. That’s a big takeaway I have. Another one is that we’re in more than capable hands with Autry.

 

[djcon57]

I REALLY need a weekly JB Podcast on College basketball and NBA just shtting on everything.

 

[Sherman20]

The downside today…JB is on the front page of .com….not Adrian.

I have to disagree about Syracuse.com/the Post Standard. As someone who works in media, the biggest story is Boeheim retiring after 47 years, considering his stature in the community and in the basketball and sports world nationally. He’s been the most famous Central New York resident for decades, a guy synonymous with Syracuse even beyond the university. Red’s promotion is, unfortunately for fans who are ready to turn the page, the secondary or 1B story (although still very important). He will be the front page story in the days and weeks and years to come.

The official Syracuse university media and social channels can center Red and the new chapter/turning the page storyline, but that’s PR and marketing.

 

[tptcuse]

Just watched and it was very well done. Great job by the athletic department. LGO!

 

[orangepassion]

Was hoping after the 1st question Autry would say "That's your 1st question"!!!????

 

[MikeSU02]

"Coach, it's great to have time with you each week to talk basketball. Today, I want to start about the MVP race in the NBA, who you think has a shot at the title and how you would use Wemby if you got to draft him?"

On my life, I would listen to two hours straight of that type of talk.

 

[007]

The Orange Standard

-Winning
-Playing Hard
-Championships
-Resilience, Determination, Grit

"I am a new face, a new voice, with new ideas. But the standards that build this program will not change."

LFG!

This was a brilliant way to honor JB and still deliver the message of his own vision. Tremendously impressed with Red in this presser.

 

[Scooch]

Agreed. He threaded a delicate needle quite well.

So glad we’re done with that nonsense.

Autry will be a classy representative for the program.

I’m not blaming .com at all, I’m just saying there is a downside to the way it played out. It’s sucks for Red.

 

[007]

Jake much respect for all your insights throughout this entire process. Well done

 

[HOFCeluck]

Pardon My Take guys talking about getting Boeheim on the podcast.

I would rearrange my schedule to listen to that.

 

[Brian Orange]

If Wednesday was a disaster this was the opposite. Well done all around. Everything is settled, and now it's up to Autry to prove it works. We shall see but we are all behind him!
