Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Boy, they sure make things look easy when shots are falling, huh? Everyone who played deserves credit, but the real hero in the game was the defense. This was the most active I’ve seen the defense all season. They played with a physical edge on the glass as well. I hope Moyer is okay, obviously, but it was good to see Dolezaj play. I almost forgot why I liked his game so much. Two very important games coming up with Pitt and Wake. The “experts” say 9 ACC wins gets you in the dance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not your typical European guy (dead eye 3 point catch and shooter ) but he can put it on the floor create and finish hes great at the high post because he is a triple threat to pass, shoot or put it on the deck he is the 4 year player Boeheim needs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually doesn’t surprise me based on his on court presence. It seemed like he was one-upping Washington at one point tonight and was on sidibe Too. I just don’t like his vibe— really unjustified cockiness. FWIW, I haven’t heard anything negative about him since last year. I assumed he had cleaned up his act, and grown up a little. Maybe he was just having a bad night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw him kinda grab the ball away from Washington when he wanted the ball at the top and Washington was trying to call out a play but he's leading the ACC in steals and having a great year and other than tyus, he should have the ball because he's a playmaker and the leader of the team Edited January 28, 2018 by Buffalo716 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bray Wyatt Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 that was one of the worst offensive performances i think i have seen from a syracuse team. Howard couldnt get his head out of his ass, lazy with the basketball Battle was awful, better in the second half but thats not saying much Chukwu, my god he has no awareness I wish Dolezaj could shoot Our offense was their best offense, thats sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all accounts, he is a great kid with outstanding character. Tremendous teammate. I kinda get his frustration, and I know that Boeheim had been widely criticized within the past couple years for underrecruiting local players. He has lost out on a few good upstate NY recruits over the past few seasons. Mike Hopkins had reaped the benefits of this out at UW with Hameir Wright, as one example.

Hameir Wright is a bad example because Syracuse offered Wright. I don't blame Boeheim for being apprehensive about offering Upstate NY recruits. I think Andy Rautins was the only one to work out over the last 20 years or so. Josh Wright and Dayshawn Wright both stunk. Chinoso Obokoh never developed. Dajuan Coleman was a bust. Howard Washington is a freshman out of Buffalo. . Girard is midway through his junior year. Is he supposed to offer every basketball player from Upstate NY when they're sophomores?

The Poojer Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 why does boeheim have players on the bench if he isn't going to use them...i get that sidibe might be hurt, but he seemed fine the other day, there was no report that he wouldn't play, he's got a player that comes from a pretty prolific, but albeit minor school, but they all made this team for a reason you would think. I get that this has been his M.O for 42 years but these players have to be gassed, if you are going to be down by 21 you may as well give some players a rest for a few minutes and give these guys some gametime to hone their skills. Boeheim has forgotten exponentially more basketball than i have ever learned, but come on. His son better be the next coming of Carmelo or Pearl because he probably should have moved aside and let Hop take over a couple years ago.

Is he supposed to offer every basketball player from Upstate NY when they're sophomores? Hameir Wright is a great example of a JB recruiting flub. What are you talking about? Boeheim went after Wright hard, and probably had him locked up, until he started to pursue Jordan Tucker and nearly cut off all contact with Wright. Boeheim was criticized for snubbing Wright (some say Red Autry was particarly opposed) even before Tucker ditched Syracuse for Duke. JB made a late, desperate push for Wright, but Hameir chose Hop and UW who had stuck with him the whole time. Of course I don’t think they should offer EVERY player from Upstate when they’re sophomores. That is ridiculous. If you follow Syracuse recruiting closely, however, you would know that Girard is player that should have been offered before Washington and especially Michigan got involved. Boeheim Needs to do better at locking up the best recruits in his own backyard. Edited February 4, 2018 by Johnny Hammersticks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
