Westry has played 105 minutes of college ball, he should be considered a bonus at best. There’s no guarantee he’ll ever be a high level player.Start from scratch with Starling and Westry next year. Have Brown and Copeland off the bench.
Recruit over all the other players.

Sometimes the best thing you can do for a young man is to move on. Wish him the best and walk away. JB and Red have each given him multiple chances. What he needs we obviously don’t have.Williams has some major issues. He acts like he’s in another world. I think he has 3-4 technicals this year. It’s ridiculous his lack of discipline. He acts like a punk. He’s a 6’9” spoiled brat that thinks he knows everything. He’s a cancer on this team and needs to be sent packing. If he went to the locker room without shaking hands that’s reason enough to remove him from the program. At some point, enough is enough. Play guys that want to play the right way. If you’re going to get killed, at least have players on the court trying to play the right way. We will learn a lot against Louisville. They will either come out guns a blazing or quit on the season. I feel bad for Red. He wants it more than the players.
Seems like that might be what it takes to get him off the team. He’s had 4, 5, 6 chances over the last couple years.At least he didn’t deck someone.
was wondering why he was pulled too, started to do something and then yanked, maybe his D was bad?Taylor finally got open and started shooting. He missed them in the first half but made a quick ten points in the second half to bring us within 12. Then Red pulled him out, and he never saw the floor again, while his teammates shot bricks and gave Wake lay-up practice. Inexcusable coaching,
Taylor was guarding that Carr kid who’s a 6’11” senior, quite a task for a 6’6” guard/small forward. Awful mismatches in this game. Maliq was guarding their 7’ junior center, Reid, and giving up a number of inches himself. Sadly we are playing some of our players out of their normal position. Both of these Wake players plus Sallis and Miller are all transfer portal players who start for Wake Forest. (4 of their 5 starters were portal additions) Red switched quickly to the taller Benny against Carr which made sense especially defensively against Wake.He clunked 3 wide open 3s in a row then added a forced fadeaway and bad drive after we had closed the gap killed our first half. He also go abused on d. Nobody was food tonight but need to figure out a plan for next year
Exactly. The weight disparity is what's brutal too. I feel like I'm watching our banged up and injured football team limp through November again. Guys that are 20/30/40 pounds smaller and 2-3 years younger than their matchups every 3-4 days are going to get worn down so much quickly. Soaking wet Brown is 220 and our meatiest player on the court which is insane to think about.Taylor was guarding that Carr kid who’s a 6’11” senior, quite a task for a 6’6” guard/small forward.

So we just give up on him now?Westry has played 105 minutes of college ball, he should be considered a bonus at best. There’s no guarantee he’ll ever be a high level player.
Rather count on what remains to be seen than the crap we’ve seen for years with other players.Westry has proven to be injury prone. Cannot be counted on.
I watched the whole train wreck, I find it oddly intriguing. And I leave games early all the time. It horseshoed into something so bad, I had to watchI have never, until last night, turn off a game. I could not stand to watch the continuing horrific play. I sure hope Coach Autry can turn this team around.
I don’t count on the other players either, it's got to be blown upRather count on what remains to be seen than the crap we’ve seen for years with other players.
Have to hope Westry can get - and stay - healthy. By all accounts he’s much more of a PG than Judah, which is what this team desperately needs.Start from scratch with Starling and Westry next year. Have Brown and Copeland off the bench.

We need to raise the talent depth significantly. Boeheim tanked Syracuse standards the last 6-8 years. Westry, if healthy, helps with that. Many here choose to forget the very familiar names Chance shut down in HS before he spurned us. We’re lucky to have him.Have to hope Westry can get - and stay - healthy. By all accounts he’s much more of a PG than Judah, which is what this team desperately needs.
Will definitely need to get a hired gun at the 3 spot in the offseason as we need a floor stretcher and someone who can replace Judah’s points.
Starling, Copeland and Brown are good pieces. Fine with them. Surround them with players without crybaby attitudes and who want to win.I don’t count on the other players either, it's got to be blown up
Justin Taylor has a PER of 8.2 and a TS% of 43.3%. And starts.
But here’s my point by showing that — I’m not sure where on the list of the program’s issues this falls.
Honestly. I have no idea.
It would have been a whole lot better for him and SU had he left for the MAAC two years ago. He’s a Marist/Iona kind of guy.The kid has had multiple fits since the second suspension. He did some of the same garbage just the other night at Boston College. Did you see him brush by red on his way back to the bench? Have you been watching the games all year since the second suspension? Doesn’t seem like it judging from your post.
Because of course success beyond our recruiting is guaranteed to us. It is our birthright! Wake up to reality, welp.Hall of Fame 100 percent created this mess the last ten years... malpractice
