Message: [QUOTE="Henny & Coke, post: 2686249, member: 323"] Good post & I agree with so much. This offseason HAS seemed long...but we slowly ramping up for the new season. So many reasons to get excited. Let’s count them: -[B][I] Tyus Battle[/I][/B] really came back to school?!? I’ll admit, I thought he was 98% gone most of year. What a pleasant surprise! Type we don’t usually get. Almost didn’t know how to take the news haha. Excited to see him polish his game. - Recruit like[B][I] Robert Braswell[/I][/B] that we just happen to find late in process? Sign me up for that! Here’s a guy who’s 6-8/6-9 who owns a nice shooting stoke & can step out behind the line. A perfect prospect to take a chance on. Don’t exactly need him this year, so give him time to beef up, learn the zone, and refine his game. Even the Boeheim’s Army guys has good things to say about Braswell - Blackwell calling him a “sleeper” who can “shoot it with ease from NBA range”. Again, great job by staff to get him here after the whole Bazley debacle. - [COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)][B]I Love Transfers[/B].[/COLOR] There, I said it. I think it’s a great way to keep the talent flowing into the program. And i’m VERY excited about [B][I]Elijah Hughes[/I][/B]. [B][U]My prediction[/U][/B]: Hughes comes in ready to play this season. It may take some time for him to find “his place” since we have other talented returning players (Battle, Frank, Oshae, Marek)...but once he does, guy will be a rock for this team. Solid body type, and gonna bring that offensive spark we badly needed last year. I think by end of year Hughes will be an integral part of this team, creating many opportunities on the offensive end. - And [B][I]Marek Dolezaj! [/I][/B]How the hell could I forget my man Marek, with the “blond cheerleader girlfriend”!?! Haha I had[I] so much fun[/I] last season watching this kid mature & develop. And that scoop shot he has...[B]money[/B]!! I love everything about Marek’s game & he does all the little things that help enable team to win games. Just a pleasure to watch this kid play the game. - AND...so many other reasons for excitement that I haven’t even touched on yet! [B][I]...Jalen Carey[/I][/B], the talk of the Boeheim’s Army Guys, who say kid has “NBA talent”... ...We have a Senior point guard! Hallelujah! Such a luxury...hoping for a good season to cap off [B][I]Frank Howard’s[/I][/B] career in Orange... ...Remember when [B][I]Pascal Chwuku[/I][/B] blocked a shot, fell down, got up quickly & proceeded to block another shot at home against ranked Clemson? God, I do - may never forget it. Freaking love that play & the heart kid showed... ...And holy crap, I legit almost forgot about our Sophomore sensation, [B][I]Oshae Brissett[/I][/B]! This is a kid who may be a lottery pick in next year’s draft & yet I’m over here taking him for granted already haha! Bring on the season, dammit! I’m so ready to watch our Orange play faster tempo on offense with lockdown defense like last years. Dare I say it...but I think it’s one of those “special” type seasons. Where people gather to watch big games in movie theaters. And maybe we even get a long winning streak to obsess over. Whatever we are in store for...bring it on already. [/QUOTE]
