Supposedly, there will be a mass exodus of players once the transfer portal opens tomorrow. I was wondering what was going on. Seemed surprising they wouldn’t get an invitation. This makes more sense. 1 Quote

Supposedly, there will be a mass exodus of players once the transfer portal opens tomorrow. I've heard Judah, Copeland, and Taylor (and obviously Benny) are basically guarantees to leave. Hima and Carey probably gone as well. Bell is a maybe but feels like we're relatively hopeful about him. Also sounds like we're fairly confident we're going to get Erik Reynolds in the transfer portal but plenty of time for things to change in the portal. 1 1 Quote

Copeland is the unexpected one and that is what hurts. Taylor I could care less about, and Mintz was pretty much thought to be done after this year regardless. Would have been nice to keep Copeland and run it back with Bell Brown and JJ. 1 Quote

I just don’t get it re Copeland. Poised to have a great year next year for us, IMO. He can’t be worried about his minutes. 1 Quote

I wouldn't be surprised if someone offers him a starting role and he wasn't going to get that here (or at least the staff was hoping he wouldn't lol). 1 Quote
nemhoff Posted March 19 Posted March 19 I don’t know about you guys, but given what I am hearing and reading about the issues that surrounded the team (and players) this year, I am pretty impressed that Red was able to get them to 20 wins. Seems like there was a consistent theme of personnel issues and attitude problems and injuries. Hopefully all that can stabilize for next year and this team can take a step back into the tourney. 1 1 Quote
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 21 Posted March 21 On a separate note, I have realized that I can’t really knowledgeably fill out a NCAA bracket anymore. I think with the demise of Syracuse bball, I just have no incentive to watch the elite teams in college bball play. I haven’t seen any of the top seeds play this year. back when Syracuse was ranked, I feel like I knew so much more about college bball as a whole. not sure if anyone is in the same boat? 3 Quote

Though I think it has to do with me being older and having a family too. Not as much time to devote to watching the game. 1 Quote

Yeah I mean I used to watch a ton of college basketball and be really plugged in Now I'm basically plugged in with Syracuse and the ACC.. and I watch some Big 12 basketball 1 Quote

Oh for sure without a doubt It's been a slow decline for me since the original Big East disbanded I love Syracuse orangeman basketball but the ACC is not the same And it has hurt our recruiting 1 Quote

I wonder if he'd consider following Gerry to Siena or if he'd prefer to try to catch on at a bigger program again. 1 hour ago, Buffalo716 said: He was always going to be a head coach one day.. so it was just a matter of time of time Maybe they can bring back devo Really curious to see what they end up doing with that assistant vacancy. I haven't really heard anything concrete but seems like the prevailing theory at the moment is that they'll look to bring in someone outside the Syracuse family. Someone else however mentioned Demetris Nichols as a possibility too. Guess we shall see. 1 Quote
