Johnny Hammersticks Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Caleb Joseph was a good signing for the Orange. Another top 50 prospect, and a good insurance policy at point guard in case Ennis leaves early. Joseph and MCullough already makes 2014 a very strong class, and if we could land Justin Whitehead that would be incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Nice" as in a very quality in-depth piece. But I agree-- sad that Flynn has been a bust. To me, Flynn is the posterboy for why you stay in school all 4 years. Probably would have gone lower in the draft, but could have come in with a more mature game, and not flamed out before his second contract if he had stayed.

The recruiting experts on the SU boards seem to think that there is little to no chance that Whitehead goes to SU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recruiting experts on the SU boards seem to think that there is little to no chance that Whitehead goes to SU. Wishful thinking. I think he's a Zona lean right now. I'm actually not too worried about picking up another G for 2015. I'm confident we'll land Isaiah Briscoe in 2015. Buss Patterson, Silent G, Joseph, and Cooney can all provide depth at the point.

The Poojer Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 (edited) Cuse, struggling mightily north of the border against Carleton, down 32-23 at half and according to twitter, getting hammered on the glass, CJ hasn't scored either.... Didn't realize, Carleton has won the Basketball 'national championship' 9 times between 2002 &2013, so they are a formidable opponent Edited August 24, 2013 by The Poojer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

section122 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Well they pulled it off. Ennis looks to be for real too. Hard to be too excited about this as it wasn't pretty but what the hell it is cuse bball! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Jerami Grant is going to be a beast this year. I think he has grown an inch and a half over the offseason, and has put on 10-15 pounds of muscle. Ennis definitely looks as advertised. Most shockingly impressive players, IMO, were freshmen BJ Johnson and Ron "Buss" Patterson. Johnson with a silky smooth jump shot, and Buss a tough guard who can handle the ball, see the floor well, and has a pretty nice shot from outside. Mike gibinije looked lost out there. Definitely not a point guard. Good warm up against some good competition in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 My buddy was raving amour BJ Johnson. Good to hear that he may contribute. We need gbinije to play well -- no one else plays the 1, right? Need a backup to Ennis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need gbinije to play well -- no one else plays the 1, right? Need a backup to Ennis. I think both Cooney and Patterson could play the point. I also think BJ Johnson will get his minutes at the 2. This is the deepest SU team, at the forward position, that I can ever remember. We haven't even seen Tyler Roberson yet.

This will put him at a disadvantage academically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I did watch the game and he looked great...granted it was only one game but the whole team looked energized, Evan Turner played like people thought he could, Thad Lewis was a beast out there, Lavoy Allen was actually chasing down balls...I am glad they are sitting Noel to ensure he is 100%, if Philly fans can stomach a rough year of ups and downs, this young team could turn into something special.

A friend of mine called the exact minute single game tickets went on sale. By the time got through, the only seats remaining (for Duke) were in the upper deck....way past where the blue curtain used to hang. He decided to watch the game at home. I believe some records will be set. I know most of you aren't local but I got season tickets this year. Let me know of there are games your interested in and I may be willing to part with them.
