Elijah Hughes couldn't play for ECU.

I wanted to make that comp, but Elijah was hurt I’m fairly certain

We still have no one to dribble and pass. This lineup is still missing a pg who can create for people. Symir averaged 12 minutes a game for a 13-14 team. Per 40 mins he averages 4.8 assists to 2.6 turnovers.

No girard isn’t a PG, he doesn’t create. He’s a shooter. No one to initiate the offense.

 

[UpstateSM]

I have had freshman woman do that. But not any guys. You are very brave.

Freshman woman are the best, dash. The older I get they just stay the same age.

 

[Briancuse]

We can take all the good news we can get.

Is any good news coming? Joe has a brother who is coming to be the 3rd guard?

 

[Cusefan0307]

If we are going to take Symir we should have kept Goodine. Good Grief.

Who says we need to dribble and pass

No argument.

6 to 1. etc.

 

[the villager]

Round and round it goes where it stops nobody knows. Having said that I hope it stops soon.

 

[Cuse1055]

Honestly, I'm at a bit of a loss right now. I know two moves and they aren't going to set the world a fire. My hope is in the improvement in the kids that are still here. A combo of Buddy and Benny is a good scoring start. And I have and have had high hopes for Jess since he got here. I would be very surprised if we landed Powell. For one thing, I'm not sure we are willing to work that hard. I can't hope I am wrong anymore about that than I do. The same way I felt about Kadary leaving. I'm encouraged that Woody hasn't left yet. Today would have been a good day for that. I don't know, maybe Braswell leaving has him thinking there are only 3 forwards on this team right now. We will see.

I assume the two moves you’re referring to are Symir and Jimmy.

 

[Cusefan0307]

I mean its quite obvious. We lose an impact player and this is what we are going to gain SMH.

 

[Day2]

Most here don't want Jimmy.

Most here don’t know what they’re talking about.

 

[Cuse1055]

Not gonna lie, would love to pin this thread and come back to it a year or two later with Symir proving the doubters wrong. Would be glorious.

 

[CU44SE]

Honestly, as much as people think I hate a lot of stuff. I don’t mind the jimmy stuff. He is a guy that can bang inside and score. I think he will be a very good bench player for us. 3-4 forward I think is a perfect position for him. So help me if he gets any run at Center I will be furious. But I think he can be an above average forward for us. He scored a lot at Cornell. And he wouldn’t be asked to do that, but he could be capable of doing that.

 

[Trueblue25]

Today begins my countdown to the random day in 6 months where Jake tells us

“Hey guys, word on the street is Symir is really turning heads in practice”

then we’re all like “nuh uhh no wayy”

then he’s magically the second coming

I’ll see myself out

well, you got me to laugh. so there is that.

 

[kcsu]

Hes hanging with Kadary

 

[Cusefan0307]

Jimmy is fine. It's the Torrence for Kadary trade that is ridiculous and a net negative.

 

[Jasoncuse]

I would be very surprised if we landed Powell. For one thing, I'm not sure we are willing to work that hard.

That’s discouraging and not surprising. But why do you feel that way? Is it a Powell thing or do you believe the staff just doesn’t want to do the heavy lifting for him or other transfers?

the staff should be using these departures and talent available to try upgrading numerous positions. We know the philosophy isn’t likely to allow a whole lot available to transfers though.

yeah. I don't see us doing the work needed.

 

[Doc5120]

Woody staying would be huge. Doesn't make up for Kadary but gives us a guy who knows the system and can play multiple positions. We should be full court pressing him to stay

You'll have to wait until we're down 12 with 2 minutes to go for that. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

If Q comes back, Benny comes and Jr signs on Woody is getting limited minutes.

I just think we can't on Q. We have to make decisions for our team next year.

Woody will be a far better player than jimmy

 

[Cusefan69]

Put me in the camp that Woody is just trolling. Love the kids upside but you don't suddenly change your tune. Per the insiders he was gone. Which certainly can change but I think he is out.
