If you haven't seen him play, then why such a strong post like he could be the missing piece to a final four team?   You stated [B]"If Thompson can read the tee leaves here ... he'll see that with him coming on board, next year's team has FF potential".  [/B]

Please understand, I'm not trying to second guess you or anyone else (and especially not the Hall of Fame Coach Boeheim).  I  am just trying to get a proper perspective for my own mind.  The last 2-3 years, as you very well know, we have had some big misses in terms of recruits not producing like what we expected.  I could give several examples but I won't because the true intent of my post is not to point fingers or speak ill of members of our own SU family but instead, just trying to understand where this recent optimism and high hopes is coming from.

If there is anything that I get blame for on this board, it is wearing orange colored glasses and "not seeing the reality".  That is why I ask these questions and have pressed a bit on my inquiry.  I'll stop, because I don't think this will probably go the direction I intended.

On another note, I just came in from the garage where I watched the second half of the Duke game AGAIN (for the fourth time) and man, I love it more every time I watch it.  My wife is getting royally annoyed with me because she and the rest of her family are Dook Alumns.  Whatever... as for the game, Roberson was an absolute beast!  I really believe that we start seeing more consistency out of him, although maybe not at that level every night.  That was just sick.

We win 4 of the next 5 and we are right where we need to be.  It all starts against ND on Thursday!  I really like this team because we are so dangerous.  We just need the opportunity to make some noise in the NCAA tourney!
