not too shabby

OK I'M LISTENING

 

[hoopsupstate]

A lot of guys can't jump off two feet. With his length, he is going to be effective on the defensive end of the court.

Man a front court of Benny, Q, Woody and possibly AG will be nasty next year

and possibly Merek.

Just a FYI- he’s going to be a 2 year kid. Been the plan with him from the beginning. He’ll get some time next year but Q and Griff will start

I have been saying that Benny will start. That was assuming we would lose one of Alan and Quincy. If they are both still here, we will have first world problems at forward, because Benny is too good not to play a ton.

You're right, not many at all. Best two footed jumper I ever saw was Red Bruin. Right before he launched he would squat down and then everyone in the building would rise to their feet.

I remember 2 games in particular that Bruin put on an absolute high flying show 1 vs. Houston aka. ( phi slama jama ) and 2 against Marquette ( Doc Rivers ) we won both those games it the dome. Bruin scored 26 in eachof those games mostly on rim rattling dunks.

We got blown out by Depaul and all Al McGuire could talk about is Bruin. When the bright lights (national tv) were on Red was unreal. When he took off baseline sometimes he got horizontal to the floor, like superman.

I remember one Bruin dunk where he was just that, almost head and feet (not quite) parallel with The goal.
it was remarkable, one of the highlights I remember over the 52 years plus of watching/following Syracuse.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

I have a memory of a baseline dunk, over Ewing, in the Dome, but I can't find it anywhere. Either there is no video, or I imagined it.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Tony and Sidney Green were supposed to be a package deal, but Tark swooped in.

Sidney Green would have been a great addition to that team. They would have been very, very good.

If we have Benny, Quincy, and Woody at the forward spots next year?? Wow. Loaded.

And Griffin seems like “first year Eli”, which is not good enough to leave.

IF he becomes good enough all around to be more like “last year Eli”, then - he gone.

I just assume that’s his plan and intentions.

But if he’s back too, the rich get richer.

Either way, we look to be loaded at forward(hoping Q is still here!). Really excited we’re getting big, athletic, and skilled kids who can play both ends again. Gonna start looking like the Fair/Grant/Southerland years here again!

I'm already dreaming of a Richmond, Boeheim, Griffin, Guerrier, Ajak starting lineup next year with Williams, Newton, Girard, and Anselem backing them up.

Prolly won't happen given our history but it's always fun to think about.

Fingers crossed we get one more Bourama year

It would be nice but he will be 24 next November, I'm not sure if he does come back.

 

[GooseMutt]

Last time I jumped that high was when my ex wife was chasing me with shears in a dream. What’s his vertical, anyone know?
