Buffalo716 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 1 minute ago, Johnny Hammersticks said: Oh, I’m sure Frank will get the start, but I wonder how many minutes Carey will steal from him. Carey, IMO, is a better passer and a much better shooter that FH. It will be interesting. Battle, Howard, Boeheim, Hughes, Carey, and Washington. That’s a lot of mouths to feed. Yea Carey is a dynamite recruit... but we are talking about what Frank is doing at Cuse now and what Carey is doing in HS Frank was also a top player in Virginia as a SR... though Carey should have a better shooting stroke... I'm hoping he's every bit at advertised im excited , Carey should give us great explosiveness off the bench. And some scoring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a text from my friend in the know late last night saying “Looks like we have a really good shot at landing Bryce Golden. Would help soften the blow of losing Bazley.” My response was “Who the f$&k is Bruce Golden?” After doing some research, I think this would be huge for Syracuse if this happens. Big, strong, athletic, and supposedly a pretty decent jump shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this works for him I think we see a lot more kids go this route. I fully believe that he likely wouldn't have been eligible so his hand was forced but I don't dislike the decision for him at all.

I don’t disagree with anything you posted, but he’s still full of crap. It’s just annoying to me. And maybe this belongs in the pet peeves thread. Recently my nephew (who is a little arrogant, spoiled prick) magically returned from boot camp. We threw a huge party for him right before he left! I gave him a card with $100! “Uh, yeah I just realized that the Army wasn’t the best option for me. I’m going to start off taking a couple classes at OCC and then look at pre-law programs.” His Father told my Father that he just quit because it was too hard for him. Was crying his eyes out when they picked him up. FULL OF CRAP!!! Be a man and tell the truth, you puke! ? Now here is Bazley....after totally disrespecting the coaching staff by withholding this until he last possible minute. Leaving them scrambling.... Now he’s grandstanding like some kind of pioneer.

Give me a break ? Sorry everyone I was too much of a kitty to make it in the Army Did Bazley get notification that he was going to be ineligible or just find out himself? I remember having to go through the NCAA clearinghouse to play athletics but I don't remember when I got my clearance. I did chuckle when I saw SU was his "dream school" made me think of Marrone. I wish he would take a couple of the Duke recruits with him too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
