Wow that's so strange lol

Are you trying to imply that you think they're lying about who their relatives are or is this just really weirdly phrased?

I only know this because I've seen his comments on Rumblings...me and him were both very low on Rosen going into the draft and remain low on him. I had him as a late 1st round type prospect; Jeff didn't even consider him to be a first round guy.

Yep

Hearing we might have one or two transfers leaving the team this offseason. Neither guy I’m hearing about would be much of a loss; would basically just give us additional scholarships to use which we need with zero seniors on next year’s team.

One team signed Waiters to a contract the offseason that every team lost their minds and now they can’t get rid of him

All 30 NBA teams would take Grant over Waiters without giving it any thought. I don’t think any team would consider them to be close.

I think almost all of them have made the right decision for themselves, or in the one case that I thought it was a poor decision (Jerami Grant), he ended up panning out after 4+ years in the league and is now the best SU alum in the league right now. Brissett stands almost no chance of being drafted though, so if that's fine with him, it is what it is I guess.

Yeah I've heard he just basically hates Boeheim. He's not even listed among the top 100 prospects in the draft...I don't think he's going to learn anything at the combine that a simple google search wouldn't turn up. But I guess we'll see. I'd rather his minutes go to the younger guys anyways.

Yeah, hope he can carve out a nice career for himself wherever that is, but I don't foresee him getting drafted and I'm not particularly sad to lose him.

Didn’t have a chance to mention it here, but I had heard Oshae Brissett has been telling his professors that he plans to enter the draft and it appears that’s where things are headed with him seemingly posting a goodbye on Instagram.

Yes, they absolutely can. His first two tasks will be trying to convince the young guys currently on his roster not to transfer and then to try to convince the recruits not to back out. It sounds like at minimum, he's losing 2 of his 3 best players and possibly all 3 of them plus recruits that haven't stepped foot on campus yet.

For purely selfish reasons, I hope UB hires one of the Syracuse assistants as his replacement. Tough loss for you guys but what a season you guys had.

I think it ends up being one of four guys: Damien Harris Miles Sanders Karan Higdon Devine Ozigbo I don't foresee it being a Day 1 pick.

Much like the Tyrod-Cleveland match that I discussed for months leading up to the actual trade, I feel like this equally makes sense for all the reasons you outlined. Then again, I felt the same way about a Buffalo-Cam Brate trade but it doesn't seem like that one is going to happen either.

A player laying one finger on a guy is not a hint of PI lol. If it's actually a borderline PI then yeah, it'll be challenged, but I highly doubt you'll see plays with nearly zero contact that get reversed and called a PI.

"One finger" penalties never happens unless a ref just sees a guy flop and doesn't realize it's a flop. This will fix those situations. There might be some relatively soft penalties every once in awhile but that has always been the case. Defenders have always been allowed to have some amount of contact with players. Refs aren't going to be slowing the play down to see if a guy brushes up against the WR's sleeve and call that a penalty. Those types of plays likely won't even be challenged in the first place.

Lol, come on.

It's possible to block players without laying them out. It happens on every play of an NFL game without issue.

Gore was better than both McCoy and Ivory last season.

I'm not convinced he'll be a mid-to-late pick tbh

And TE and RB and OLine depth.

I think he goes in the 2nd or 3rd at the end of the day and I would love for him to be one of our picks. I almost wonder if this is a smokescreen though because they’re literally exposing that they’re interested in him with every possible opportunity.

Nope and Edwards isn’t one next year either.

Even if SU had been on Mitchell earlier, there’s nothing you can do about UMass. They’re hiring his coach and signing his friends to play with him. Syracuse just isn’t going to offer that. Edwards might turn into something in the future but I don’t think he’ll be able to contribute next year and we pretty desperately need help at center next year.
