Johnny Hammersticks Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I'm concerned about the coming season, the depth, particularly up front is paper thin. Could be a mediocre season for Central NY fans. Definitely. We're going to be so reliant on unknown freshman to get minutes. Moyer and Brissett look to be competing for minutes at the 3, with Sidibe and Dolezag holding down the 4? Thompson should be able to man the 5 with Chukwu backing him up. Might be a long season.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 For some reason, I have a good feeling about this season. We seem like we have enough offense to compete. Guys like battle and Thompson are going to improve dramatically-- that's pretty much a given. I can also see Frank Howard turning the corner. If they can get that defense back to its elite level, I think they can be competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also spent some time in the weight room. Gained 20-25 pounds I believe. I also believe that Brissett is a highly underrated recruit. I think he contributes at the 3 right away.

Bray Wyatt Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 So Lydon did end up being a first round pick, good for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 So Lydon did end up being a first round pick, good for him As much as I hated the decision, he sure proved us wrong. I wish him well, but I would put money on the fact that he will be playing in Europe in like 2-3 years. Stinks that AW3 didn't get drafted.

It depends, if he bulks up enough and plays with more confidence he could be really good, granted those were the two weakest parts of his game. Also on ESPN they list him at 6'10", I thought he was 6'8" And White III is such a pure shooter and has size, I figured he would be a second round pick at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Good for Lydon. Pretty sure Uncle Drew will catch on somewhere. He's too good of a shooter not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LB3 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Very happy for Lydon. He made the right decision. Guaranteed contract. Even if he doesn't get 2nd contract, he can go play in Europe and then go back to school with the millions he's earned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Good for Lydon. Pretty sure Uncle Drew will catch on somewhere. He's too good of a shooter not to. Cleveland could be a good place for him. They need reliable shooters, if he can D up he might get a good look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roberson should have led the team last year and dominated but his effort just was missing on so many occasions. White was a little too passive in many games but wow what a jump shot. I think he has a much better chance to make an impact in the league than even Lydon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Huge 2018 commit for 'Cuse.https://twitter.com/cusesigel/status/881949612147445762 Good get in Bazely. Swider to Nova is at least good for the Big East, and I'm a Xavier guy. We were deep in the mix for both, but still in there for plenty of talent. This years class is maybe the best ever, but work to do for next year. I don't remember seeing 'Cuse in the Elite Eight last year, or half of the last 8 Sweet 16's.
