Get him to work with Jim and GMac and he will learn alot Based on the stuff I saw from Copeland this summer, I’m as high on him as I’ve ever been. He has a very well rounded skill set and improved immensely as a ball handler. He’s also a 6’6” kid with room to grow into his frame. A year at IMG with elite coaching, facilities and competition will also surely help his development. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants a recruitment with NIL in place. Turning NCAA recruitment into more of a meat market. Forget the G-League idea for high level prospects, now they can make 6 figures by choosing the school that offers the best marketing/exposure. Same reason Chance Westry has wanted to play for Cuse all his life, but is going to commit to a school like LSU or Bama. Sweet 😒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The teams that can recruit these guys with a solid “marketing” plan are going to land the best players. It’s going to take a whole different type of recruiting strategy.

Doesn’t mean I have to like it. Going to be the downfall of major college sports, IMO. Schools like Syracuse just can’t compete with the likes of these colossal SEC/BIG10/PAC12 schools. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tempaccount Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I believe a time is coming soon that the NCAA will be forced to make institutional changes to catch up with what is happening with the NIL. Feels like they are still stuck in the late 80's with their policies when college athletics has basically become a AAA feeder league for pro sports. At least they have begun to acknowledge what it actually is, but why not fully embrace it and change the structure to fit what has been happening for decades?

Nope, the NCAA is powerful enough to just continue to do what they are doing. There are enough players out there that will play in the NCAA. College BB in particular would be better if the best kids didn't go to it. College BB is missing the days of getting to know the kids and creating rivalries for 4 years. A single best player playing in the league, doesn't mean the league is better to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I’m not buying this either...well not completely anyway. I have, however, heard this criticism of Boeheim before. Increasingly, he has become less “hands on” with recruiting which can be a turn off for some recruits. My understanding is that the desire to part ways was somewhat mutual between Prince Dior and the coaching staff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not going to be snap chatting with these 17-year old kids. He’s probably dictating emails in 16-point font at this stage in life. Maybe that will cause him to lose some guys, but not sure there’s anything to be done about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I just finished reading the new Carmelo memoir. It was decent in parts, but too much ghost writing and was way too surfacy in parts where they could have really fleshed it out. It’s like they rushed to put the book out. One of the few interesting Syracuse tidbits is that Carmelo was coming back to Syracuse for his sophomore year. He met with Boeheim, and Boeheim basically said “over my dead body— you are going pro now” (though in much more direct and vulgar words). The other sort of interesting tidbit from Syracuse was that he roomed with Edelin, and Edelin had a little community of friends in the Pioneer Projects in Syracuse. Carmelo ended up hanging there and really being part of that community. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just able to fast forward thru a decent amount of the replay on the ESPN app just now. I am loving Edwards and I thought Anslem actually looked very good too. I am thinking that Swider is an upgrade for this team over Guerrier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkman Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Cuse hammers Drexel. Lots of contributions. Jesse Edwards might be the biggest surprise. He barely looked like he understood the game last season. He’s turned into a force in the paint. Swider is a legit threat and TBD’s favorite son JGIII set a Cuse record for 3 pointers made to start a season. I believe he’s 8-8 at this point. I hope Boeheim (coach) engaged Benny enough to keep him out of the transfer portal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCOrange Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Very promising start, especially from Girard who is finally playing like the shooter that he was billed as coming out of high school. I'll be more of a believer when we start doing it against better teams, but I think any reasonable person would be very happy with the start we've had so far. I don't know when I'll get around to really doing my deep dives on the incoming recruits, but now that they've signed their letters of intent, I'll probably start trying to dive in when I have time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bray Wyatt Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Jimmy Boeheim has impressed me, as well as Swider, and the big men (Edwards and Anselem) they aren’t just guys that take up space on the offensive side that we usually have lol Buddy developing his game at becoming more than just a 3 shooter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because it's happened with some players doesn't mean it's going to happen with all them Every single recruit knows what they're getting into when they come to play under boehiem... Some think they can handle it and can't Most suck it up and get better Benny is super talented, but is not a big offensive threat right now.. he has a flat jump shot and needs to learn how to score in college He is a threat on the defensive side of the ball and Jim will find minutes for him in the rotation.. but he's not going to go to somewhere in the portal and start scoring 25 He needs to work on his offense game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
