this team: SO MANY ???

[pearl31]

now with TT gonezo - Tyus Battle is all we can count on - beyond that it's, well...

should be a fascinating/maddening/frightening... rewarding?? season

yikes

 

[EastCoast2]

So we're losing:
White (18.5 ppg)
Lydon (13.2 ppg)
Gillon (10.5 ppg)
Thompson (9.2 ppg)
Coleman (5.6 ppg)
Roberson (5.3 ppg)

That's almost 80% of total points scored last season.

The only rotational players back are Battle and Howard. Having TT be a no show means we have to get something out of Chukwu this season.

I think we can at least count on Chewy being massively out of position when we press

 

[Orangezoo]

What about Sidibe?

He needs to watch some tape of Jeremy McNeil. Sometimes it seemed like our press purposely let guys by to funnel them towards Jeremy so he could swat them.

 

[Trueblue25]

Send Tyus to Charlotte and lock him in a gym with Kemba Walker.

 

[HSPORANGE]

Next man up

 

[longislandcuse]

Probably the most intrigued I have ever been by a Syracuse team - So many unknowns. Lot's of potential but it could also be a mess.

What is the percentage of lost rebounds? Criminy.

Entire frontcourt is new other than Chukwu who played in like 7 games. I don't ever remember the team being in this situation.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Too much drama. And we aren't even starting fall practices yet. JB needs to get control or move out.

I don't think you can put this one on JB.

Eh, it seems like it's an apparently odd person being odd. Not sure what Boeheim could've done here. If the kid wanted to leave, what are you going to do? And that he did it in the way he did it...I think that's a reflection on who he is and nothing else.

2018 class is looking like a monster class. Could be a rough season, but we also could be looking really strong for 2018-19.

 

[Ozcuse]

It's a good thing football season starts this week.

We knew from the start this kid's mother was a problem. That's where the decision should have been made. Let him go elsewhere to cause his problems. I just think JB's age dictates fewer options for recruits.

Agreed. Plenty to blame JB for the last few years but this not one of them. What is he supposed to send Paul Harris and Devo to kidnap him and lock him in Manley until November?

I mean it sounds like a pretty good idea in hindsight...

 

[JLine]

We have the guys that want to be here. No drama. Geno can shoot, score and run the point. Huge pickup that gets missed a bit. OB is an absolute beast, and MM has had a year in the program. Both are top 50 freshmen, easily. Also a freak athlete from Slovakia, who has battled grown men. The young guys will be fine, along with Geno and Tyus. Frank, and PC are two that need to step up. Sid, and HW are talented too. We will be fine. I know, I know. Too much optimism. Really just need someone to man the middle. TT there was...yeah.

 

[Cusefan0307]

If we miss the tournament again I don't care who we having coming in and how young we are. This board is going to be calling for JB's head.

Next man up

 

[EastCoast2]

Things I'm looking for during the 2017-2018 season:

Tyus Battle gets caught shoplifting gloves and a bathrobe from Shoppingtown mall
Marek Dolezaj and Matt Moyer are accused of shaving points
Frank Howard breaks a girlfriend's car side mirror
Frank Howard is then suspended due to academic ineligibility
Oshae Brissett isn't cleared to play until November
Geno Thorpe stays in Tampa until the 4th day of classes

Intrigued is not the word that comes to mind.

I'm looking for Chukwu to knock up Battle's girlfriend.

Also need a few guys to fail drug tests
