That's why I stated had is it better term than I have but If without Thompson we will be complaining all year specially watching all of our targets thrive on the college specially watching all of our targets thrive on the college scene
right, suddenly all of those guys were going to go to Syracuse but Jb said bad words about Chris so they all stayed away. Look, Jb hasn't helped himself with these silly and stupid statements when kids want to leave early. No question about that. But sanctions hurt us a lot more than anything jb said.
, a nationally acclaimed party school, and we get more national TV and press exposure than any college basketball team in the northeast (usually). There isn't a northeast team that has been as consistently good over as long a period of time. Decent NBA player placement...at virtually every position PG, Forward, C, 2-guard.
Maybe, maybe not; but it really isn't the HC's role to say such things. Let the analysts break down his game; a player's HC should have his back no matter what reality is, or whatever he thinks it is... You don't offer an unbiased opinion when you shouldn't be unbiased. If a microphone gets put into JB's face, he should just say "Hellyeah, I think he will be ROY!"
lol here is the problem with your take. long before Chris, long before jb said anything about Ennis, we weren't getting the kids you claim we missed out on because of JB;s words. We virtually never beat duke or Kentucky for a recruit. And Tucker and Green were heading our way until Kentucky and duke missed out on the guys they were recruiting first. Weren't they upset about JB's words? The sanctions killed us. I, know what I know.
I agree with that. But that isn't why we aren't getting the guys he mentioned. We weren't getting those guys before he said those things. In 41 years of Syracuse basketball, how many top 10 recruits have we landed? And now the excuse for not getting guys in the top 10 is words that Jb said?? What was the excuse before he said those words?
Half those guys we miss were not top 10 but players we needed and could've had that are impact players nonetheless. The differences even 20 years ago they were not thinking about the NBA OUT OF high school
I don't understand that statement. Please clean it up. What does NBA high school mean?
You have it backwards. Dasher knows what he knows and you think what you think.
Whatever nobody asked you.
Francis was talking about the scholarship restriction and some of the misses we have had and the that being the problem. He never said the whole process of the sanctions had no affect on recruiting I don't believe.
Then what does you think what you want mean? I feel like we have been down this road so many times. I don't like the all in Quade Green like strategy either but the idea that we are going to beat out UK and Duke for kids is just not true. There is history that shows it won't happen. It sucks that UK's main PG target went to Oklahoma and that Dukes main forward target went to UK at the last second. We would have had Green and Tucker to go along with the best high school senior in Canada and Sibibe. Now how does the 2017 class look.
Ummm, it's an internet sports forum, not a private conversation.
True
I know different as my source has direct intel
