Ryan Cabiles Canned / Robert Harris new Director of S&C

[RedtheGOB]

A million times better! Last offseason we were grasping at straws, just hoping all the different things that needed to go right would come through for us.

This offseason, it feels like everything went right. Good coaching and admin hires, excellent recruiting, a new S&C coach that brings intensity we haven’t seen before…

The roster is so much better, it’s hard to quantify. Even if we have a rash of injuries like last season, we’ll still be able to put a full rotation of P4 quality players out there.

Last season, only a few guys getting hurt sunk the whole season, because their backups weren’t that talented.

Not just grasping at straws but we really recruited and portaled an entire group that we knew would be gone in a year. Even without the messy offseason it still felt like a lame duck season just to get to the next season.

Love him already

X's and O's weren't the biggest problem last year, not having anyone on the team who could play offense and defense was.
The entire team was a bunch of Misfits. Too small, too slow, bad shooters, defenders, not a good passing team.
All in all a mess.

Right, it doesn’t matter what you call if the players can’t do it. If they can only do certain things, you can try to do that every time, but it doesn’t take long for other coaches to figure out how to stop you.

Once we were running Davis, Lucas Taylor and Carlos out there for starter minutes, we were cooked.

Red is probably going to look a lot smarter as a coach with George running the plays he calls.

Not sure what sport his daughter played, but I’m pretty sure the recipients of his blow up schatt bricks.

All right then.

I wonder how long Cabiles's bio will stay on the website. Think he makes it to tip-off?

Lets just be glad the new coach wasn’t introduced as Robert Cabiles…

Kiyan talks about how he is in the weight room as much (or more) as he is on the court.

Now Rob is going to help him get even stronger.

Kiyan just gets it with a ton of great advice and insight from Melo, not to mention the array of offensive skills.

Doesn't he know that weight training will ruin his shot?!?

I am falling in love with Rob Harris a little more every time I see a clip.

Half the job of the S&C coach is getting buy in... If the silly DAWG acronym and actual bone get the players to buy in, hell yeah.

If Donnie can get to the 215-220lbs range he's going to be a monster.

Are we seeing a culture shift in the Syracuse men’s basketball program happening before our eyes with Harris in the program now!?

Do or do not, there is no "if".

I'm just glad to see him practicing and working out full speed. He was in a boot not too long ago. I kind of expected that the coaches might be limiting his load this summer, but there he is, Harris getting in his face with the rest of the team!

DAWG is the new DART

I thought he was already around 215. I would say to increase his pro chances he needs to get to around 230 or 235. Not sure it’s possible but it would allow him to elevate his game.

Oh thank god!! Looks like a great hire!!

Did you watch the video

I did - I thought the comment was specific to a more public view than just our own optimism over his approach.
