Things i'm hearing...

…..for who?

We’re coming off a bowl season where we started 6-0 and were ranked, not some GRob fat lineman BS.

Colgate. Patriot League offensive player of the year before switching back to bball and hitting 9 threes in the dome against SU.

I don't blame him for leaving. He was 6th in scoring in the ACC and fans thought he was the worst player in the league, zero support. Probably lands in the Big East, close to home, makes a run in the tournament while Syracuse is fighting to get to Wednesday of the ACC tournament next year

3 years of playing PG next to Buddy did him zero favors. Him and Mintz didn't click.

Hes excellent and extremely efficient against lesser competition and a mixed bag against top teams. He owes Syracuse nothing. Big East team with other older players sounds about right.

NBA isn't entirely realistic but hes not far off the G League. Not much he can do here to improve his pro stock and get into a better Euro league. Going somewhere else and hitting over 40% from 3 would be his best option.

Question is can Autry get an equal player to transfer in.

It’s not the offensive side I’m worried about….mostly. Especially as a 2.

But man, he can’t do it on defense. Not for long, anyways.

Let him play Trevor Cooney’s minutes in 2013, and we probably win it all.

But he just can’t do enough to be a prominent guy on a good team at this level. Nothing wrong with that, he’s a good player. But we’ve seen an awful lot of him for 4 years to know what he can and can’t do.

Yeah.. he will get put into screening action all day long much like we did to less athletic smaller guards over the years.. that's just the start..

Remember when MCW and Triche took turns taking that 6 ft Indiana PG to the hoop whenever they had the chance? I want to be back on the other side of that.

Yogi Ferrell. He actually really improved after that point. Had some decent games as an NBA player.

Oladipo and Zeller have had very good careers too.

Wish we shot better vs Michigan because we weren’t losing to Louisville again.

In all seriousness, and I've suggested this before... I think Joe should use the covid year to play another season at an elite academic institution in a new area. He'd likely have an incredible final year while setting himself up well for life after his playing days are finished. Patriot League, NEC, MAAC, WCC, even Stanford if it's an option.

Seems like the kid bleeds orange and will be a great ambassador for the university and upstate NY moving forward.

Finishing his masters at Newhouse is a better option than anything you posted.

Hopefully Joe’s long term career arc can be replacing Cory Alexander on ESPN/ACC Network.

You don’t like CA broadcasting with WD? OMG!

Nonsense. This post.

Nonsense eh. This team is well under .500 without Joe. For some reason this board thinks were a final 4 team without him. Like i said before this is easily a bottom 2-3 team in the ACC next year with an o/u on overall wins set at 12.5

I see you have a lot of confidence in Autry already.

We have no idea what the roster is going to look like next year, so setting an o/u is impossible. Joe was an integral part of this team. But, if we are going to play M2M defense and play fast, Joe would have to play less minutes. One would think nobody would play over 30, if we play up tempo. Would he accept a reduced role?
