I'm gonna beg to disagree with this thread on this, but Andre Jackson was not the guy SU needed.  His
value was being an athlete running all over the court either causing havoc on D or in transition on O, 
and that was not going to play for the Orange during those years.  He'd have been the only one on the
team doing it.  A new version of Paul Harris, lots of basketball talent, but out of place at SU.

Newhouser dead on for getting it right with Buddy changing everything, and there is a reality 
someplace that had this in 21-22 for the Orange:

PG - Kadary, SG - Buddy, C - Jesse,  - Swider,  - Guerrier, and a bench of Benny, Girard, Jimmy Jr, and
maybe Symir.  That team does a helluva lot better than 16-17.  JB retires after that, and Orange life is
better.

The PG who should've been starting on that team was the recruit more needed than Jackson.  If you're
going to say that he needed to go and Jackson was the one who the Orange needed, where was he 
gonna play?  He wasn't a PG, and was equally as bad of a 3 pt shooter.  Great athlete/defensive pest who
does not at all fit into a lineup that's built around a PASSIVE 2-3 zone with Buddy and Joe as a backcourt,
and then with Swider and Jimmy in the frontcourt.
