  1. Fair point, but again, I think Frank has skewed our perception of the SU point guard. Tyler Ennis was more of a traditional game managing PG. The offense went through him. But “cerebral” players can come in all shapes and sizes. Frank Howard was anything but cerebral ? Quade Green was supposed to be that guy, but Frank made certain to sabotage that plan during Green’s recruiting trip ?
  2. Goodine reminds me of a young Michael Carter-Williams when I watch his highlights. Would a traditional “fleet of foot” distributing PG work in JB’s system? Certainly, Boeheim seems to want taller/longer PGs at the top of the zone. But they also, ideally, need to be able to create their own shot AND shoot well from the perimeter. I think Frank Howard has changed our expectation of what a Syracuse PG should be. Frank was not a great ball handler/distributor, was not great on defense, and was not a good outside shooter.
  3. Owns an impressive collection of scabs which look like deceased US presidents. His most valuable, a brownish knee scab which resembles Grover Cleveland.
  4. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/2018/06/syracuse_basketball_recruit_brycen_goodine.html%3foutputType=amp Goodine has been preparing this entire season to play PG next year at Syracuse. He’s tall and long, has a great handle, and can take it to the tin. I’m sure it will take him a bit to adjust to laying point against college competition, he certainly is the archetype of the Syracuse PG. Assuming Carey returns and grows from his freshman “yips.” They’re going to have a decent guard rotation with Goodine, Girard, Boeheim, Carey and (hopefully) Howard Washington. Hell, Girard and Boeheim could prove to be the best shooting tandem in the NCAA’s.
  5. Are you on your period or something? Jeez...
  6. I hear ya, and I’m all about people changing and growing. That said, ANYONE punching a woman in the face 75 times while pinning her to the ground is unforgivable, IMO. Similar to someone who puts a bunch of puppies through a wood chipper when they’re 18 years old, but then gets help and cleans up their act. Good for them, but I don’t want them on my football team ?
  7. Oh, the Charles Manson thing obviously was just a joke! Lighten up Francis. That said, I'm not touching this guy with a ten foot pole if I were a NFL GM. I've seen the video as well, and it makes the Ray Rice video look like an episode of Sesame Street. And that's like....just my opinion, noob ?
  8. For some reason this dude is infatuated with trolling Boeheim over this incident. See him all over Twitter. Sick dude.
  9. Exactly. I don’t know why folks are scoffing at this. Why not kick the tires and work this kid out?
  10. Thanks, Frank. Makes me sick.
  11. Syracuse burnt that bridge. Did him dirty...
  12. He’s gotta be up there. BTW...Hop signs a 6 year extension with UW ?
  13. I wonder what @Gugny would do if he ran into Tuhrod Taylor at Busch Gardens?
  14. Give Plaxico Burress a SHOT at WR?
  15. The more I learn about Nsekhe, the more I suspect they might want him at LT. I agree with your sentiment, but if they liked Nsekhe at LT the line might look something like this. Nsekhe/Dawkins/Morse/Teller-Long/Rookie (Risner) I wouldn’t cry myself to sleep if this happened.
  16. Isn’t Simmons the one in the video beating the snot out of a woman? If so, I’d rather draft Charles Manson.
  17. I voted for Oliver/Risner, but I would love Taylor/Tillery. Didn’t see the option ?
  18. I wonder if they’re hoping Drew Lock Falls to them in the 2nd, or maybe trade back into the 1st for him?
  19. The T from Bama is actually an OG. I’m with ya on Taylor though. Beastly.
  20. Doesn’t surprise me either. Mike Hopkins wanted Frank gone for good reason, and Boeheim overruled him. Fitting ending for Frank, sadly. Good chance for Tyus to take over the tourney similar to how Malachi Rich did. LGO!! Thanks man, but I can’t take credit for this one. My people knew nothing until it was tweeted out to the masses late last night.
  21. Failed drug test. Unreal....
  22. Crickets. Seemingly, no one other than Boeheim and the “inner circle” at Syracuse know about the reason for Frank’s suspension. All I know for sure is that Boeheim found out at practice today, and that Frank has only officially been declared ineligible for the Baylor game. I’ll keep you guys posted if something comes my way. I’m curious as hell. Still waiting to hear back from one person. Seems like a “gag order” has been imposed.
  23. I don’t know what it is yet. Should know shortly. I did just learn that JB found out today at practice. The timing is interesting.
  24. I don’t think this has anything to do with the trip.
