So Who Is The First Portaler?

[Fly Rodder]

I don’t understand this board anymore. We want Q gone, but Cuffe to stay.

1) This board doesn't have anything to do with anything. 2) And I wouldn't expect any kind of coherence from an internet message board made up of hundreds to thousands of people.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Well, if Q stopped going to classes weeks ago, there's only two words...

He gone.

This thread has been interesting. Looks like a collection of good info, predictions, rumors, and H0T Takes. The problem is that it's not always easy to tell which ones are what.

I also find it interesting that up until the nc state game and this thread, most comments have been about how Cope is a great leader and teammate. Now, the narrative is just the opposite. Just goes to show how little many of us know at times.

Maybe we need to put some fans who disparage our players in the portal.

Insiders shift this board on a dime.

Cuffe is a good kid. So are Brown, JJ and Taylor. Although, Taylor won't be back.

lol. That’s a short list.

As a teacher, I have a relatable question for you all... I'm not with all the rumors but straight what you see on the court every game and on the bench.. Nothing else.

If you translated our guys into a classroom environment with a new teacher or sub, which players do you see being an issue and not teachable for that new teacher/sub , and which ones are going to do whats expected and be teachable..

Now on the court which players do you think are with the program and coachable for our staff trying to build a winning culture?

Seems very easy for me to decipher which is which.. Ill be honest with Q on the court I see a kid with a good heart but hyper energy thats hard to control...lol

 

[RealMcNeil]

Surely we have a lab where we can extract Cuffe's maturity and team player mindset and infuse it in to Q?

We have the technology, just not the NIL to make it happen. /s

lol. That’s a short list.

But you didn't say it was wrong lol

Someone said above and I’ll echo. We don’t want a team of choir boys either. Moten talks about it on that Kindve crappy podcast he does with those kids. He said we played games thinking our crap don’t stink and that we didn’t lay down hard fouls on defense to make teams think twice about attacking the rim.

We need an enforcer or two in the portal that will lay down a hard foul. Our guards took some nasty shots at the rim and all we did on the other end was smile and wave as we gave up easy buckets. Obviously we had no depth at the end but even before we played really soft at the rim.

If we’re losing some of the more emotional guys and leaving the quiet ones like Brown/JJ/McLeod/Cuffe we gotta bring some guys with at least a little fire.

My dad just called me. He's mainly an Iowa fan but cheers for Syracuse also and watches all of our games. He's never been on this board in his life, so he hasn't been influenced at all.

Dad - "Say I haven't had time to talk to you since the NC State game the other night. What do you think of Mintz? It seems like he's always looking for his own shot, isn't a great shooter and is constantly whining to the refs. Now granted, sometimes he's right, but after every play? Do you think they might be better off trying to replace him?"

Me "Funny you should say that Dad. I don't think you're alone with those thoughts."

So it's not just the board picking on Judah.

Yep, I've had casual fans in my life say similar things without prompting. The crying to refs doesn't usually go over great to the casuals.

The casuals?.. People who understand basketball hate it.. Its busch league.. occasionally is one thing.. We have 2 players that complain every time their touched and at times they make it worse by not getting back because their complaining..

If he has all 's how does he just transfer and play?

Transfer to the SEC?

Oh my young naive friend. I have a dozen friends that are lawyers right now that had all ’s from Syracuse’s Political Science classes

I’m thinking closer to 20 to 25 people

The job market doesn’t require you to sit out a year because you want to get a new job.

This is 100% inaccurate. There are plenty of professions where you get non-compete contracts either when you sign or if you leave. My wife has a 2-year non-compete if she leaves her job.

Most state courts rule them unenforceable
You can't prevent people from making a living

 

[TinyManInside]

I do believe that. We started a forward at center and a small forward/2 guard at the 4 who averaged like 4 ppg in conference play. Bell can be a great scorer but I’m not as bullish on him as some because his defense is a net negative most games. This is Syracuse Basketball, if we can’t pull in 2-3 ACC caliber starters when we will have minutes available then we will never make it back to being a powerhouse.

This hasn’t been Syracuse for almost a decade.

 

[Zepharus]

That simply isn't true. Yes, we want to win more. There was a lot going on with this team. And it wasn't good. If you want to win, you have to have the right pieces. But you also have to have everyone pulling the rope in the same direction. That wasn't the case with our team. There was a lot of disrespect for the coach and what we were trying to do. And it came from 2 or 3 players. Oh, and that isn't guessing or reading body language.

This is as clear as day if you were paying attention. It was evident after Tenessee . AA did a phenomenal job getting this team to 20 wins

Aren't they pretty common in tv news? Or is that a case where they are being paid by the new station but just can't appear on air?

I've heard about that in that industry and that might be one of the last industries it's allowed or enforced but in my market they might switch to all 3 affiliates during their career
