Agreed.  Totally different team than I spent $2000 to watch lose two miserable games in NYC ?

Ouch! I pay $1100 for 2 season tickets!  

 

That team last night was much more representative of the team i had seen at the games in the dome.  I don't know what was up in nyc but they were completely disjointed. 

 

Elijah continues to impress and be my favorite player on the team.  He, brissett, and battle make a formidable trio that can actually also hit foul shots.  I stand by my assertion that this is a top 15 team once they gel.

it wasn't even jock itch that was butchering the names, he was just completely off the rails on his color commentary.  I thought it was Ravetch, who i do like, that kept doing the 'dolejaz' and 'See-Dee-Bee' heavy emphasis on each syllable.  It was brutal all the way around

To be fair, I only spent $150 on tickets.  The rest of the 2K was spent on hotel, food, and mostly booze ?

Nice win last night.  Granted it was an injury depleted Northeastern team.  But it was nice to see the second team come in and play so well(ie, marek, buddy b and carey).  Brisette seems to be getting into stride, Hughes is just a nice solid player.  Battle couldn't throw it in the ocean.  Tough stretch of games coming up, hopefully they can continue the momentum of the last few games.

Jalen Carey is going to be awesome for this team.  As soon as it clicks for him it is going to watch.  His athleticism last night was through the roof.  And nice to see someone other than Battle finish at the rim!

 

Agreed.  Ultimately, I think the plan is to move him over to SG when JG3 gets there next year.  Jalen makes the typical boneheaded frosh mistakes, but sometimes makes these incredible athletic plays that drop your jaw.   Gmac needs to work with him on his outside shooting.  He’s gonna be special.

Former 5* combo guard Quade Green to transfer from Kentucky during his sophomore year.  Got over-recruited and now barely sees the floor.  Perhaps you should have made a different choice Kwah-day??  SMH...

That is what happens when you have 5-6 5* guys on a team...

 

not enough to go around

This is what happens when programs like Kentucky and Duke (hello Jordan Tucker) over-recruit these 5 star kids and essentially break their promises.  This happens all the time, and these stupid kids keep committing for the name of the school and the notariety...rather than commit to another major school where they can stand out.  Stupid, stupid, stupid.

That was was point. They have too many 5* recruits who they all promised playing time too and there isn’t enough time to go around 

 

When you have three 5* SGs or PGs , somebody is walking away lol

I believe it was down to KU, Cuse and Nova for Quade.  He would easily be the starting PG for either Nova or Cuse right now.  Hope he got lots of instagram “likes” for picking KU.  This ***** irritates me.  Coaches like Cal and K exploiting naive and arrogant young men with false promises.

Maybe he is a transfer option to SU then? Carey is more of a CG , slashing SG than true PG rn

 

I know the legend of Joe Girard is coming but he is a stroker 

 

I miss the days of Tyler Ennis and Carter Williams lol and Flynn and Pearl

Perhaps.  We’re going to have a log-jam at guard though in years to come.  Green can play either guard position.  I think the plan moving forward is Jalen Carey at PG and JG3 at SG.  Even though both Boeheim and GMac said public ally that they were recruiting JG3 purely as a PG.  I’d take Green for some guard depth ?

Perhaps the best SU player of all time.  I’m much too young to remember him, but he’s my father’s favorite all-time player.

you beat me to this Johnny!  I thought I was going to get on here and break some hot Cuse news.  Jimmy B should be headed to wherever Quade lives right now!  I feel like we would have a really good chance at getting him on the transfer.  That backcourt would be filthy good if Jalen stays that long.

Pretty sure both Carey and JG3 will both be 4 year players.  Green would instantly (as soon as he were eligible) step in and be the starting PG.  I’d take him.

I remember him well with the Pistons............I don't think I ever thought of it that the all time SU and all time SBU players were the two stars of the Pistons in the 70s.

Brycen lookin like he’s gonna be a good one for Cuse as well...

 

next years class already looks great but can become exceptional with a commitment from Stewart  

 

Goodin is the forgotten child in this draft class; being overshadowed by Guerrier and JG3.  I hear he’s been tearing it up this season and over last summer.  Another great job of early recruiting by the coaching staff just like they did with Dion Waiters and Tyus Battle.  Recognize their talent before the “big boys” can get to them.

 

Don’t forget about 4* C/PF Qudus Wahab who just postponed his decision date, many speculate, to wait and see where Stewart goes.  Many think he’s a Cuse lean if Stewart goes elsewhere.

I wasn’t able to watch the game, as I was driving all over VT today for my son’s hockey games.  I have it recorded....I probably won’t watch.  I knew coming into this game that ODU was a very tough defensive team, and would give SU a game.  I think they’re ranked in the top 20 in ppg allowed, IIRC.  Recipe for disaster for Syracuse who is playing a very ugly brand of basketball right now.

 

How does JB seem to pull it all together by the end of the season most years?  Last season they looked like a NIT team at best, and made a run to the final 4.  I just don’t get it.  This team has waaaaaay too much talent to be sucking so badly right now.  So disappointing.  Hopefully JB has some of that magic left in the tank.
