Class of 2016 SG/SF Andrew White (VA; Grad Transfer from Nebraska)

[HoustonCuse]

If Battle doesn't start, I think it will have recruiting repercussions. Also, he is a stud and has as much zone experience as Gillon (zero). I'll be extraordinarily surprised if TB doesn't start at the beginning of the season.

 

[edowd26]

I have never told a false opinion.

I definitely have...

I think you're a great addition to this board.















jk man, fishing for cheap laughs.

 

[orangenirvana]

Nobody really knows where White is going and a guy on a message board was wrong. "Shocking"

Yeah, I can't disagree with your sentiment. I was thinking they may convince him based on how successful Dion was coming in off the bench. I don't envy the coaches. It's a very difficult job to keep the players happy and satisfied with their PT and starting assignments. Over the years it seems our coaches and Orange tradition has cultivated a lot of unselfish players. Let's hope the team gelling part occurs.

The weather looks even better today than it did yesterday. If that's even possible

Your comment will instantly generate 5 pages of comments. I thought when I came back around 6:30 and seeing 5 pages added to the thread the announcement came. I'm hoping today is the day!

I'll be back in hour or two. Nobody screw up the thread.

 

[orangenirvana]

I agree. One mistake on defense will get a player yanked.

I was thinking Gillon, White, Lydon, Roberson, and Coleman as starters. White plays the 2 for three or four minutes so he's happy. Then Battle comes in off the bench like Dion Waiters used to do and plays the 2 spot. White slips down to the 3 spot. And Lydon swings over to the 4 or 5 depending if Roberson stays in. Then Chukwu and Howard get slipped in as needed. Moyer and TT get at most 8 to 10 minutes. I don't think Moyer will red-shirt as some people are suggesting. Howard subs for Gillon as needed.

After giving up four three-pointers in the first 3-4 minutes of the first five games, Boeheim will realize he never should have listened to Dave85 when deciding to start White at the 2.

I know my place. I never question any of JB's decisions. He's a really good coach. Anything he decides is gospel in my mind. I only say this after coaching my boys CYO teams. You don't know how good he really is until you try to doing it yourself!

Ok I get it now, that was clever...

 

[Orangeman13]

I had a "vision" that Syracuse will have a serious threat from beyond the arc that it will allow Battle to slash to the hoop with ease.

It seems the chair is against the wall.

I believe shortly we can add "The tick is engorged."

"Tippy toe..."


Any perspective you can share about why it hasn't starting raining yet? The weather forecast indicated a storm front to wash away all of those salty MSU fans.

I believe the weather has held off rain because it would be a slap in the face and unprofessional to immediately rain on East Lansing. The weather wants to appear to think things over, even though meteorologists in Syracuse show 100% chance of sunshine all over CNY and rain all over East Lansing.

But what day is this forecast for?

I honestly don't know. I never predicted rain yesterday at 3:30. I want to be accurate which means taking myself out of the equation and just reporting exactly what the weather satellites say.

 

[dasher]

Okay, I'll bite. 83% of the three's made last year were made by 3 guys---G, Cooney, Malachi. All three now obviously gone. That is a helluva lot of perimeter shooting to replace (and although Lydon is a real good shooter, he only made 49 all season). So now you have a guy that averaged nearly 17 ppg in the Big Ten, who thought about going pro before pulling his name out, that shoots an insane 41% from three (which is even higher than Lydon's great team-leading percentage last year). On what planet doesn't he start on this year's shooting deprived team? (Gillon shot a very mediocre 33% last year--that's even lower than Cooney and Mali).

Gillon also shot 39% the two seasons before.

Get my likes back to 1,400 where they belong.

I sacrificed them for the sake of a healthy forecast.

I'm dreaming of a "White"out outside today.

I'm dreaming of a "White"out outside today.

It will definitely be a white Christmas in Syracuse this year.

Coming off the bench. I like him in the Vinnie "Microwave" Johnson role here, although I think he'll be on the floor during crunch time.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Gilardino suggested there would be an announcement yesterday afternoon...

I don't think "likes" are going to get you raffle tickets or anything. Unless they're doing something different on the pay side.

 

[dasher]

He was wrong. But, if you say that every day, there will be days when you are correct.
