Transfer Targets 2026

[donniesyracuse]

I have a feeling the nil budget isn’t what people think it is.

Do you mean NIL/Rev Share?

Hope we get Zoom Diallo!

Need a Center badly.
Still need a PG that can score as well.

If Gerry and Cuse don’t come away with a stud in one of those slots I am not going to be that optimistic that the Orange can be a NCAA tournament team

I’m confident we will get a stud center. Another point guard idk

Hate to disappoint people, but we’re not getting a high caliber center or a PG with offensive skills. We’re gong to get a few average centers and operate that position by committtee.

We’ll get another PG, but it will be a marginal backup.

Not attempting to be negative, just being honest.

Ok based on what? You would be the first person outright claiming we aren’t getting anyone else that can help us…

I figured as much…

His personality.

If they were building this roster based on flashiness, op would have problems with it as well. Games are not won on paper, but if you actually looked beyond the headline statistics on paper there is reason to be encouraged by the direction they are trying to take for this program and for this upcoming team pending the final additions.

Based on players we’re targeting, players available, and NIL money. This is the roster you get with our available resources. Players are asking for more money. The money SU had last year doesn’t provide the same return this year. We can’t afford high end point guards and centers. If SU wants to upgrade the program, donors are going to have to step up.

You don't know what players we are targeting because no one knows who we are targeting. The guys we have already signed came out of nowhere. And we have more money than last year.

Sure would be nice to have an NIL collective fans can donate to.

Can we please get more 6’5” guys? We don’t have enough …GERRY WAKE UP

So you are another one who bought into the Norlander article assuming we don’t have the money. Got it.

Well when we do better than your pessimistic prediction I look forward to your return. The known targets and those that are available absolutely don’t line up with your take on them plus what 0307 said. Also you clearly are assuming things on our resources that only line up with what Norlander said not what multiple others had shared on here.

It’s your typical glass is 90 pct empty take. You and 78 are two peas in a pod or maybe the same pea with a burner.

Ok, let me set you straight. The portal is weak this year for centers. We’re looking to fill out the center position with average mid major centers. The high end centers are being taken by better programs with more money and cache. We have our point guard. We’re not getting someone better. I know it’s hard to face reality, but this is where the program is. It’s going to take more than a year to rebuild.

We have 7 players. We are most certainly going to sign at least 4 more and still have quite a bit of money left. They need to make the tournament next year and they know it.

Got it. Get back to me when we acquire a high end center and a PG. Most of the good ones have already been taken. And I’ll add this. There’s a reason Hodgson and Schertz turned us down. Maybe you’ll figure it out.

Yeah,we have room to sign more. But if the 7 we have are as good as some people think, how much actual pt do we have?

Once again every bit of this is doom casting.

You’re right. We’re going to add two marginal centers, a backup PG and a backup PF. That’s the roster. The money isn’t as deep as you think.

 

[Orangezoo]

How many great additions did BH add so far? He’s got a roster with 3 guys on it and PC isn’t leading for anymore big names instead looking at guys like the undersized PG from NW . You always just come here to doom cast complain and then dissapear. It’s like clockwork.

 

[cuseguy]

It’s the truth. Someone I respect on McAllister’s board called this our least talented roster in decades. Our PG averaged 8 ppg last year. Our only center is from Siena and was injured last year. We have no idea whether White and Anthony can elevate their games. Huge assumption.

The Calvary isn’t coming.

I’d get prepared.

 

[Melancer46]

Sort of true of Tobiason, though we did find out he was visiting.

We were publicly known to be pursuing Dual though (and obviously Doty did not come out of nowhere but that's a different thing).

I do hope/would assume there's a big man that were quietly pursuing though because the only one we're known to have contacted that is still available is the guy from SFA.

Oh, I’ll be back. I figured we’d know reasonably soon what next season looked like. Well, here we are. It’s not rosy. Just being honest.
