Your story above is yet another example of Weitsman doing good with his resources. Kudos to him, and I hope that your niece is on the road to recovery. By all reports, he's a solid dude, who is very generous with his resources. She rang the bell at Upstate Cancer Center in September, thank you. Little girl has been through more than just about anyone I have known. Survivor. And a budding ? fan. I took her to her first ‘Cuse lacrosse game last week. I get what you’re saying.

bbb Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Hey, Bona has it's own felon superfan...........John Rigas was let out of prison because he was dying...........And, then every game I've been to since, there he is in a suit, in his season tickets looking down on what was briefly called Adelphia Court at the Reilly Center...........When I've been asked about the dying part, I've said Yeah, he was dying to go to Bonnies games!

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Tough loss. The only guy that seems to be a consistent offensive threat at this point outside of Hughes is Dolezaj. The rest of this team just goes cold for long stretches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 What the heck was that? I gave Syracuse 0% chance to win, and they blow out UNC by 30?! Interesting how they’ve beaten every team they’ve played the second time— hopefully that holds true for Louisville. But that first Louisville game was a dumpster fire.

They'll need all their starters plus Guerrier to play above their heads to have any shot at Louisville. Carolina looks like they have a whole bunch of low basketball IQ players. They have some key injuries but they could usually withstand them. Couple that with what seemed like a very unathletic NC team (I know Cuse rolls out the debate club looking roster), I was shocked this was the same team that thumped Cuse to end the season.

Honestly, UNC looks poorly coached. As much as people rip JB, this actually good be one of his best coaching jobs, since he basically has 5 role players on the floor.

But he was going to be stuck in a log jam for PT for his college career. He’s not a dependable PG, and his shot isn’t there yet. He did flash on defense, IMO. IMO, Washington proved to be the #2 pure PG behind Girard. With Richmond coming in 2020, Dior Johnson coming in ‘21 or ‘22, and Westry a distinct possibility for ‘22...Goodine would have been buried on the depth chart. Would he be happy with 8-10 minutes/game next season? I doubt it. I think he made a good decision for himself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Howard Washington and Jalen Carey transferring as well. I guess I’m ambivalent about all 3 of them. I like Washington as a pure back up PG, but Carey was just not good. Goodine has potential and played solid D, but he wasn’t going to get more than 8-10 min/game next year anyway. Here’s to hoping that K Rich is as advertised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think this has any bearing on Hughes’ decision. I think Hughes is close to his ceiling, and would be wise to enter the draft. I don’t see how another season at Cuse is going to help him. Worst case scenario he plays d-league or overseas while he finishes his degree. I think the next few recruiting classes are going to be good ones. Despite Carey, Washington and Goodine leaving, we’re going to be loaded at guard for the next few years. Edit: Good summary here of 2021-22 targets. Worth noting that Dior Johnson (commit) and Chance Westry (near lock to commit) are both possibly reclassifying to 2021. Kadary Richmond, Woody Newton and possibly a grad transfer in the 2020 class. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/2020/02/syracuse-basketball-recruiting-see-highlights-and-notes-for-sus-2021-2022-targets.html%3foutputType=amp Edited March 14, 2020 by Johnny Hammersticks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCOrange Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 The thing that'll be tough regarding transfers is that those guys are generally transferring because they want more playing time. We don't really have the ability to offer that; our starting lineup is pretty much set in stone for next year already and Boeheim doesn't play a deep bench so it's going to be near impossible to get any of the top tier transfers IMO.

I’d like to see them go after a grad transfer like Brendan Barry the PG from Dartmouth. Knockdown shooter who can handle the ball. Just depth for JG3. Edit: Seems like the only other one they have seriously reached out to is Joshua Morgan, a 6’11” 195 pound C from Long Beach State.

He was saying how it should be a no-brainer for Hughes to come back. Wallace was in the exact same position, came back for that magical senior year, and moved up to about 15th. BTw, this led me down memory lane and re-watching a ton of Wallace highlights, including that Georgia game!! Great memories.

Many believe he was poorly utilized at Illinois, but the thing is, he’s kind of a douche. I believe he intentionally stomped on an opposing player’s arm this season? Unfortunately, unless given an unlikely waiver by the NCAA, he’s not eligible until fall 2021. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
