Well forget about Oats

[two3zone]

Its impressive how quickly Oates has built them to being a Final 4 contender

How long has he been there? a season and a half?

He didn’t have sanctions.

 

[two3zone]

Lived here 34 years all my life.

It shows.

as soon as he left for alabama i knew that was pretty much the end of that!
IMO i just dont see oats leaving alabama for syracuse. Too many things in bamas favor again in IMO

Without Coach K we would’ve not have won ten fing games.

I think you’re guessing. It’s warmer there. That’s the only real definite. Syracuse has good facilities(I have no idea what Bama has beyond their seemingly nondescript home court), bigger fanbase, better conference, and strong recruiting base.

While I don’t think it’s sure things he would leave I think you’re overselling Bama and underselling Cuse.

Dont know how much it matters but cuse was his team growing up

I would never undersell anything SYRACUSE ATHLETICS
They are damn near the only team that i follow 100% on different sites
Buffalo bills are in their as well but there's a gap between the two

yes so was marrone and we all know how that turned out

Alabama is a FOOTBALL SCHOOL. Basketball will never be a big deal there.

Is that right? He is from Wisconsin. Why would he be a Syracuse fan. Only plausible explanation might be that he was born in 1974. So when he was 12 to 18 we were really good and Big Monday was must see TV. We even got kids from California. Miss those days.

 

[cliftonparksufan]

Besides the fact that he turned the program around and parlayed it into a high paying NFL job. Was he supposed to turn it down and stay.

 

[Trueblue25]

I mean Marrone came here.

if Oats comes here then does well enough to bolt to the NBA I’d day that bodes well for post JAB Cuse bball

Bullish on UB: How Nate Oats got his start and sustained Buffalo basketball’s success

How the young bull got his start at UB, formed relationships with the Hurleys and brought Buffalo basketball to new heights.

Yup. We had some serious talent but even then kids transferred or took the bag at another school. So sad we went from Sherm to Michael Edwards.

What about lax

AJ Mccarron strikes me as a laxbro

No way that SU would exceed let alone match what Bama can pay him. The SU job is very attractive to an up and coming mid-major coach. I don't think it's as attractive to a coach at a Power 5 program as some here would think. We'll see. Actually we probably won't see. SU will prolly keep the search limited to former SU players.

What Bama “can” pay him and what they “will” pay him may not be the same. We care about hoops. Do they?

He makes $2.5 mil per annum. You think SU can get to that level or above (which would most likely be required)? I'd need smelling salts if that happened.

we can’t? UConn is paying Hurley more than that. They don’t even have football or ACC money.

It's not that they can't. It's that they won't.

We were paying JB $2.6 in 2017

 

[721Comstock]

We were paying JB $2.6 in 2017

And that’s with the “JB hometown discount”.

We don’t pay more because he doesn’t demand more.
Not because we can’t afford to.

In non-Covid years we lead the country in attendance.
We’re in an elite P5 hoops conference.

Wildhack will spend what is needed for the new coach, when that time arises.
