The Poojer Posted July 13, 2015 Author Posted July 13, 2015 Battle commits to Cuse!http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/13249042/tyus-battle-selects-syracuse-orange-decommitting-michigan-wolverines
Johnny Hammersticks Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) Welcome Kid Mamba!!! What an incredible get for JB and Hop. Looks like they're loading up for a run in 16-17. I'm drooling about the thought of Malachi Richardson (6'6") and Tyus Battle (6'6") causing havoc at the top of the zone. 1. Tyus Battle (6'6") 2. Malachi Richardson (6'6") 3. Matthew Moyer (6'8") 4. Tyler Roberson (6'8") 5. Paschal Chukwu (7'2") Oh my! FYI....I am hearing that there may be some concerns regarding the eligibility of incoming 4 star PF Moustapha Diagne. Not sure of the nature of the issue, but I am hearing that the coaching staff is concerned. Something may be coming out soon. Go CUSE!! Edited July 14, 2015 by Johnny Hammersticks
Johnny Hammersticks Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 A little good news. Per Mike Waters of Syracuse.com, Diagne's only issues are related to his HS transcripts from overseas. Reportedly, he should be ready to go for the fall semester.

The Poojer Posted July 20, 2015 Author Posted July 20, 2015 I heard Devo got tossed for fighting...had a bachelor party weekend in S. Jersey this weekend, otherwise would have gone to the games here in Philly.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 I heard Devo got tossed for fighting...had a bachelor party weekend in S. Jersey this weekend, otherwise would have gone to the games here in Philly. LOL....it was more of ejection due to a couple heated verbal altercations. Really, Devo was just being Devo (talking smack) and the opposing player overreacted (IMO). Exciting OT win for Boeheim's Army against the LaSalle Alums. I think they play again on Friday against a NYC team if I am not mistaken. Interesting to see player coach, Lawrence Moten, abandon the zone at the beginning of the 2nd half. In an interview, Moten said that he doesn't really like the zone defense, and that they would be playing more man-to-man moving forward.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 RAK traded to Indiana for a 2nd round pick in 2016. Signs 4 year 4.5 million contract (2 million guaranteed). Good news for the big fella!
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 RAK traded to Indiana for a 2nd round pick in 2016. Signs 4 year 4.5 million contract (2 million guaranteed). Good news for the big fella! Great news--hopefully gets some major PT. By the way, I remain puzzled by NBA free agency. The Cavs are locking up guys like James Jones and Richardson Jefferson to min deals, and neither guy can really play anymore. They have this super valuable asset in Brendan Haywood's "contract"-- and were trying to get 14-year player Joe Johnson of all people for it? Maybe it's just my bias, but I would think Rak is a better option than any of those old, washed-up guys.
LB3 Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 I'm glad he got on somewhere. I wish that he had a chance to play with LeBron but he'll have more of a chance to see playing time in Indiana.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) If anyone wants to watch some Cuse Alums the who can still ball. Boeheim's Army is playing in the "elite 8" tonight (Sat 7/25) at 8:00 EST on ESPNU. See Hak Warrick, Devendorf, Demetrius Nichols, Rick Jackson, Larry Moten and others. A little Cuse fix in July Edit: Or if you're in the Chicago area, they're playing at DePaul University. Tickets are $15 with the promotional code TBT25OFF. http://ev13.evenue.net/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/SEGetEventList?groupCode=TBTCH23&linkID=img-imgt&shopperContext=&caller=appList&appCode= Edited July 25, 2015 by Johnny Hammersticks
Johnny Hammersticks Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Moose Diagne not coming to Syracuse this season. Will enroll in a 2 year school and keep communication open with Syracuse. Scholarship sanctions to start in 2015. http://www.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/index.ssf/2015/08/syracuse_recruit_moustapha_diagne_will_not_play_for_orange_plans_to_enroll_in_2-.html
The Poojer Posted August 21, 2015 Author Posted August 21, 2015 awww man...that sucks but i guess Cuse needs to be careful and this could have bit them in the ass if there was any sniff of academic issues
Johnny Hammersticks Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 http://ottosgrove.com/ncaa-still-looking-out-for-the-best-interest-of-the-student/ This is just infuriating and downright sad. F the NCAA right in the ear with a giant John Holmes penis.
The Poojer Posted August 23, 2015 Author Posted August 23, 2015 it's absolute bull ****...some of these "kids" really need college basketball to give them that push to a better life, and to have to deal with this crap could undo any good that had been done throughout their amateur hoop careers.... http://ottosgrove.com/ncaa-still-looking-out-for-the-best-interest-of-the-student/This is just infuriating and downright sad.F the NCAA right in the ear with a giant John Holmes penis.
