They were limited and already spoken for by players who had committed. They recruited Huerter REALLY hard since he was a freshman. Trust me...he would have been Orange if they had a scholly for him. Total NCAA bag over the head punch in the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total NCAA bag over the head punch in the face. I thought Boeheim offered a scholarship at one point and after the sanctions and commits didn't have another 1 so it still is kinda letting him go. Coulda got him to commit sooner Edited November 28, 2017 by Buffalo716 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huerter took his sweet time committing, as was his right to do, but by the time he was ready to make a decision he no longer had a scholarship available at Syracuse. Boeheim could have pulled a dirtbag Tom Crean move, and lifted a scholly from a verbal commit for Huerter, but he didn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It stinks but it is what it is. the kid was a top 75 consensus recruit and in Boeheims recruiting hotbed it definitely stings but we got some nice talent coming Edited November 28, 2017 by Buffalo716 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy Boeheim not nearly as accomplished, but he is the shooter that we desperately need. Jalen Carey is that pure point guard we have been lacking. Bazley is special...probably our best recruit since Melo (I realize that is becoming cliche, but I really feel that way). Loving the idea of Bazley playing at the 4 next to Sidibe/Chukwu next year. The future at Syracuse is very, very bright. We will have incredible depth at all positions next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my alma mater Bazley keeps climbing the rankings and might finish top 5. He's a beast, I can't wait Buddy is actually maturing a lot too. He can ball and had an offer from gonzaga as well as a few others great shooter and his AAU team struggles when he doesn't play so it shows he is turning into a key player for his teams sad Boeheim only has 4-5 more years but he might be able to pull out 1 more Championship. Gotta stay healthy and eligible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Bong Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Mo Bamba is from Harlem.. Did Boeheim not have a shot with this guy? He'd kill in the zone but evidently wanted to get as far from new York as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bamba's a weird dude. I'm from Austin, he wasn't even on Shaka Smart's radar, he actually called Shaka and asked if he could come down for a visit lol. Anyways I saw Bamba against Bagley in the Duke Texas game, and Bagley for the most part had his way with him. Bamba seems like a defensive force, sadly not for Syracuse, that will bust hard in the NBA. He is sloooow on offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I'll watch the Big Ten and key ACC games, and Cuse (heh) this year, as my cable package gives me almost all these games. They still won't give me Nova, which has been a deprivation to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it Frank Howard is blooming before our eyes and tyus battle is still a blue chipper but they both better stay healthy! i know a lot about Howard Washington because he is a buffalo boy and I like his rhythmic play. Reminds me of Tyler Ennis though not at that level yet. Just play style hopefully he is finding his groove 1 minute ago, The Poojer said: I'm sure geno didn't take too kindly to Jimmy B's comments about that MD kid that he wanted but didn't have any scholarships for...
