Yes! Please stay away from Leslie Frazier.

Trust me, they all play in practice. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to play 5 v 5

Huge, sorely needed win on the road. Howard and Battle, once again, put the team on their shoulders. This lack of depth is alarming. Nice to see Dolezaj step up with good defense and some timely buckets. Everyone of these is going to be a nail biter.

And the answer to that is maybe. I saw a bit of Kizer this year, and he didn't look terrible to me. I think there are some raw materials there to develop. I would not want him in Buffalo, however, as we do not need another project. I think the prognosis would be much better for Kizer if he went to a quality organization with an already established starting QB.

I respectfully disagree. To me, it was clear that Ertz had made the catch, secured the football, and made a football move (he took 2 or 3 steps with control). Hell, the ball even crossed the plane of the goal line before it hit the ground and came lose. It was abundantly clear, IMO, that he was a runner. Perhaps I am missing something, but I didn't understand what the controversy was all about...

Yeah, him going on and on about that obvious Ertz catch and TD was ridiculous. It was so annoying.

None. What?!

Does the caulk come in different colors? Is it bad to get the caulk in my mouth?

My son told me this joke last week. It’s all the rave in 2nd grade.

Cheetos

Sounds like a Seinfeld episode.

Wings!! I bought about 4 dozen. Franks/butter/dried basil/garlic powder/Worcestershire for me and the wife. Beer can chicken dry seasoning for the kids. I think we’re having spinach/artichoke dip and cold shrimp as well.

I was thinking a possible red shirt year for Buddy as well. I’m not really sure what to expect from him. Folks say he is playing really well right now against high quality competition. Sound, fundamental player. Good shooter. I don’t think he’s tremendously athletic. We shall see.

What about Buddy Boeheim? Definite log jam at the guard positions, especially if Battle comes back (and I think he will). I don’t think they’ll be able to keep Jalen Carey off the court. He’s very good. Sadly, I could see Howard Washington transferring.

ACL Nah, I’m not worried. Hugely talented recruiting class next year, and 2019 is shaping up nicely. We will be fine. And GMac will be a great HC when Boeheim leaves.

Agreed. Hop put in his time and was screwed over, IMO. He was rumored to be the favorite for the USC job a couple years before he left for UW, and turned that down even though he is from Laguna Hills. He was told he was the heir apparent at SU, and had that stripped away. No way he comes back, IMO.

Amen to that!

Hameir Wright is a great example of a JB recruiting flub. What are you talking about? Boeheim went after Wright hard, and probably had him locked up, until he started to pursue Jordan Tucker and nearly cut off all contact with Wright. Boeheim was criticized for snubbing Wright (some say Red Autry was particarly opposed) even before Tucker ditched Syracuse for Duke. JB made a late, desperate push for Wright, but Hameir chose Hop and UW who had stuck with him the whole time. Of course I don’t think they should offer EVERY player from Upstate when they’re sophomores. That is ridiculous. If you follow Syracuse recruiting closely, however, you would know that Girard is player that should have been offered before Washington and especially Michigan got involved. Boeheim Needs to do better at locking up the best recruits in his own backyard.

I don’t think that’s the case at all. By all accounts, he is a great kid with outstanding character. Tremendous teammate. I kinda get his frustration, and I know that Boeheim had been widely criticized within the past couple years for underrecruiting local players. He has lost out on a few good upstate NY recruits over the past few seasons. Mike Hopkins had reaped the benefits of this out at UW with Hameir Wright, as one example.

He has offers from BC and Michigan. His Father coached with Michigan HC, John Beilein, back in the early 90’s at LeMoyne. Michigan is the presumed favorite, and there are many that know the situation that are saying that Joe and his “camp” are kinda miffed that this offer didn’t come sooner. Joe plays on Buddy Boeheim’s AAU team. Yeah, I read that. Good for him.

I betcha he’ll commit in the spring. He’s not going to pick up offers like Duke/Kansas/Kentucky. He’s too short.

Boeheim finally offers Joe Girard III https://www.google.com/amp/s/articles.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/index.ssf/2018/02/syracuse_offers_scholarship_to_joseph_girard_iii_new_yorks_all-time_leading_scor.amp I think they waited way too long on this kid. Incredible shooter in the mold of GMac. Glens Falls, NY kid.

Are you Ko Simpson??

He’s been nothing but a class act since he’s been with Buffalo. Far from a scrub.
