The Poojer Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Did you see Boeheim talking about Zion during the post game, heaping all sorts of praise on him, says he's like Charles Barkley, but not as fat, then he chuckled....I can't wait to hear Chuckies response. He is truly a beast out there, if he can develop a better outside shot he will certainly be a candidate for the next great NBA player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s going to UW. Sorry... I had been hearing for over a month now that he was leaning toward Cuse. He and his family did not enjoy him being so far away at prep school, and he really enjoyed his official to Syracuse. I guess his mom really liked Red Autry. The coaching staff felt really good about a commit. Something changed within the past couple weeks. I just learned about it today. Must have informed JB, Autry and Gmac recently. Who knows in the crazy world that is college hoops recruiting though?? Allegedly, Nerlens Noel changed his mind twice the day of his announcement (Cuse-Georgetown-Kentucky). I certainly hope Isaiah has a change of heart. Big time, program changing recruit. Edited January 18, 2019 by Johnny Hammersticks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 FWIW...just got a text from my dude on the hill. Said Boeheim sent GMac to Springfield, Mass yesterday to make a final last minute attempt to flip Stewart. Said his family still is pressuring him to choose Cuse, and apparently Mom has been in contact with the coaching staff. He finished by saying “It’s looking like UW, but don’t be completely stunned if it’s Cuse. Make sure to tune in.” Just thought I’d share with my Cuse peeps. ?????? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The frosh (White/Little) combined for 50! My son is a big tar heels fan so I usually watch most of their games with him. Old Roy's team is going to be an interesting study come March. When they are knocking shots I think they could beat anybody ex last night. When they are not knocking down shots they could lose to anybody ex Louisville. It doesn't seem like they have that reliable post player that Carolina teams are noted for. You know the one when things get tight they could throw it down to the post & usually come away with a bucket. With that being said outside of Durham they are as talented a team as anybody in the country. Bold statement I know but that is the way I feel. Virginia Tech is a talented team that I have pegged as getting to the second weekend of the tournament & the heels just ran them right out of the building. UNC will tag on a few more losses because their schedule is so brutal so I don't see them getting anything higher than a 4 seed this year. I could see them making a deep run. I could also see them getting bumped in the first round. It will be interesting to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maye can do it against lesser competition but against a skilled big man he looks out of his element. Brooks has shown flashes. They've got another "big" (Manley) who has missed the past seven games with a sore knee but he should be back soon. But it's strange not to see them with a true go-to guy inside. The key for this team is how they play D. After a very slow start, Nassir Little has been excellent the past three games. If he has finally figured it out then they are immediately a legit F4 team. Coby White is playing so well I've begun to worry about him leaving after one season. The Louisville game was the watershed moment for this team, I believe. Roy told them after the game (and I'm paraphrasing) "you will continue to lose if you don't start listening to me" and walked out of the locker room.

It is funny you mention little, right before the game started Bilas was talking about how the light has finally come on for Little on the defensive side & expect to start getting more minutes over the next few months(I think he is averaging 18 or 19 min per game). White has been playing out of his mind & he is fun to watch. Maye, I think he is really missing Berry setting him up so well to score. There was so many times the past few years Berry would setup Maye in perfect position to score. It seems like he has got to create his own shot a bit more this year. Coupled that with the fact he is trying to learn to play with some of the new guys & it has been an adjustment. He is still important to their success.
