The Poojer Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 yeah, that kinda sucks. I think they have the talent to withstand it, but it won't be easy
Bray Wyatt Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 damnit dude, such bad news. I had high hopes for him and battle this year
inkman Posted August 29, 2017 Author Posted August 29, 2017 (edited) yeah, that kinda sucks. I think they have the talent to withstand it, but it won't be easy Boy I'm not seeing it. Last years team, which was markedly more talented struggled mightily. I could see this team with a losing record, easily. Edited August 29, 2017 by inkman

Job well done by JB and crew on the recruiting trail, and there's still a good chance we land PF Nate Roberts next week. Let's hope Hop doesn't win out again and he goes to UW. Good things on the horizon for SU hoops.
section122 Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Anyone else wondering if Thompson might be involved in the big NCAA scandal and that prompted his leaving school? Hammer any inside info?
Johnny Hammersticks Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Anyone else wondering if Thompson might be involved in the big NCAA scandal and that prompted his leaving school? Hammer any inside info? All I've heard about Thompson is that he was unhappy at Syracuse. Lost AW3 and Gillon who were his best friends on the team. Was at odds with Howard, but I don't know how much that had to do with his transfer. Interesting question tho...let me send out the bat signal!!

Buffalo716 Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Was there ever a doubt with Buddy Boeheim? Was he considering other schools? Buddy Boeheim was offered a scholarship to Gonzaga. Georgetown was interested But he wasnt going anywhere but SU
Johnny Hammersticks Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) Was there ever a doubt with Buddy Boeheim? Was he considering other schools? Never. Although he did have a solid offer from Gonzaga. I don't think he even took any other visits. Just heard back from my guy on the hill. He is saying that he doesn't believe any SU players/coaches are involved in the FBI/NCAA investigations. WRT Thompson, he says that Thompson actually wanted to stay at Syracuse. Says his Mother kind of forced his hand on the transfer decision. Seton Hall is basically right in his backyard, and Mom didn't like some of the things that were going on at 'Cuse. Says Mom is kind of a nut-job and was a PITA throughout his recruitment. Coaches really liked Thompson and felt bad for him. FWIW... Edited October 5, 2017 by Johnny Hammersticks
Augie Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Anyone else wondering if Thompson might be involved in the big NCAA scandal and that prompted his leaving school? Hammer any inside info? I know Xavier felt they had a chance, then it took a hard turn. That means nothing, but the same feeling has been there with some dirty schools. Oh well, sometimes that's just how recruiting goes...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 Still bitter about Thompson leaving; he was becoming one of my favorite players.
Bray Wyatt Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 yeah I now don't like mrs Thompson and wish her baby boy was back
Johnny Hammersticks Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 2018 Cuse PF target Nate Roberts was with Buddy Boeheim and other Brewster teammates at the Cuse/Clemson game last night. He will decide (most think) between Washington and Syracuse on Tuesday.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 Welp...2018 PF Nate Roberts to Washington. Hop steals another very good recruit away from JB. Cuse moving on to 2018 Center (7'1") Majur Majak from Sudan who is now playing at Roselle Catholic in NJ (same HS as Tyler Ennis and Tyler Roberson). He'll likely get a scholly offer in the next couple days. http://www.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/index.ssf/2017/10/syracuse_basketball_recruiting_moves_onto_7-1_center_majur_majak_from_senegal.html#incart_river_home
The Poojer Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 if we are going to lose recruits, at least we are losing them to Hop. I am glad he is having success like this so far.
