Ok name some names since you brought it up. Im the only one who said MR plays bored here. So how does CM compare to MR? Guess what if he doesnt play d at SU, the bench will be warm for him.cuseguy said:
He always looked bored but that's just his demeanor. He started the season so well and then just hit a funk. The injury against FSU came at such a bad time because he had looked to have a certain juice to him in the beginning of that game that he didn't have previously during the slump.

Did I miss that scarfing food at the half? cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusetowwwwwwwwwwn1!
I thought he seemed unchallenged. The kid is unbelievably talented. If he had the fire of a Carmelo Anthony, he could dominate.
Wait a minute, but Paul out here saying the high expectations come from here though. Lol just toying around, since I've been accused of attacking posters. CG, we have no beef and I can't speak for others but always feel free to speak your mind. A different side of the debate is what keep things flowing and adds a different perspective.
You are not old enough. If you werent friends with Mr Naismith then you know nothing.bpo57 said:
He doesnt play hard because hes bored, thats how i see it. That wont fly at SU. So im not worried one bit.bpo57 said:
Smh this guy here. When have you ever seen me attack a poster? Nothing wrong with mentioning Mali's D or motor but we have seen multiple reports where only his "flaws" gets elaborated. It gets to the point where you wonder if the kid does anything right or has any positives to his game mixed in with the negatives?
If anybody thinks that Mali is going to play 20 minutes per in ACC play knowing that KJ, MG, and TC will all most likely be back then that's on them and not because of here. Believe it or not, but the majority of the most vocal and over the top contributors on the b-ball forum hardly if ever come on here. So they're basically forming their own opinion with what they've seen currently from those players at SU. You need to direct your grudge somewhere else, because I've never presented any player as the flawless recruit to give anybody the wrong perception that player A or player B will come in right away and tear it up. Since you've done a lot of lurking, you would know that most times when I talk about a recruit, I'm always looking at their overall projection for what they could be and contribute down the line once they reach their full potential. JB said that CMac was his best recruit since Melo and that the 2015 class is his best ever. That's the HOF head coach saying that, not me and I don't even agree with any of that fyi. Plus JB is known to usually hype up his recruits coming in, but yeah blame me and the recruiting forum for creating unrealistic expectations. Peep the vids where Hop and Red discussed all of the 2015 recruits. They're not saying anything different that hasn't been mentioned on here. So it seems like you should take issue with them as well if you're concerned about creating high expectations for incoming players. Maybe you can hit up JB on his weekly show about it.

You yourself just used the passive aggressive approach. i hope you realize that Francis travels to numerous games on his own dime and then gives his take to the public free of charge. If you knew some of the stuff he knows or hears you wouldn't be saying this. you sound bitter and childish.
Dean has stated often that he respects all opinions and I have never seen him imply his opinion or assessment is more important than anyone else's opinion. We are all Syracuse fans here. Why are people so negative and defensive, it is exhausting.
Nope. Everyone has always been welcomed to share their opinions. Did I ever reply or said anything directly to you about your assessment? I crack one joke to Tee and you mad about that?
FYI my haters gonna hate post was not directed at your assessment of Malachi, it was the comments about the locals where you said they were laughing about him being a McDonald's AA. I've had numerous people from NJ tell me that they've heard people bad mouth the likes of Battle and Briscoe. It seems to be a lot of sour grapes going around imo, but maybe due to these players statuses the expectations are for these players to be perfect every night. What I think some have to remember is that a lot of these rankings are based off future projections and upside. What some might expect the player to be now because of their high ranking, most likely won't be the case until years later when they fulfill that potential.
