Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Well, solid win against North Florida! I did not realize that that was even a school. Sadly, they too were pushing us around inside. Need to get Guerrier more minutes— he’s the only beef we have inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Syracuse the slightest D 1 team in America? Hugh's and Guerrier are the only guys resembling ACC body types. The rest of them look like they just got off the refugee bus. Holy smokes are they skinny. Get these guys some steaks and Guiness. I was excited to see Robert Braswell early on against N. Florida but he's not helping their cause. Little Joey Girard might be the 3rd strongest guy on the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Osun Osunniyi picked Bona over SU and Georgetown, a lot of people here were saying he would have been a backup anyway. He's been absolutely dominant when he's been able to play this year. If he was healthy the whole season, we might be undefeated. We are undefeated in games he has played - except for the opener when he got hurt. He's likely going to be a lottery pick. I'm not so sure he'd be a backup at SU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I read page after page on this thread about how bad the bigs are, but you're going to stick with them being better than Osun............What's nice is that we can see how this plays out. Not just in general, but I've heard that if SU doesn't chicken out again, the two teams will play at the Dome the next two years...........We'll see how much your vaunted bigs are better. I don't know if the NBA scouts were drooling, but I know they've been at Bona practices. Maybe just wanted to visit the Olean area. Kind of like when that Chidi guy transferred to Bonas - Oh, he'll be good in the Atlantic 10. No, he got even less time than he got at SU.

Osun vs. MTSU (a team that has tourney wins over Minnesota and Michigan State in the last 3 years): 15 points, 16 rebounds and 5 blocks. But, yeah - you couldn't use him at all, Hotheadsticks That was his last game - when he finally played a full game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite honestly, I don’t really know all that much about Osun whateverhisnameis, but I wish him the best of luck just like the vast majority or recruits that spurn Syracuse. Also, good for Bona. I noticed their win over Middle Tenn St. That’s a quality win. I always root for them when they’re not playing Cuse, as my sister is an alum. What puzzles me is why you would continue to post in Syracuse basketball thread purely to rub our nose in the *****. You didn’t see any Cuse fans posting in the Bona thread (oh wait...there isn’t one) when your boys lost to perennial powers Ohio, UVM, Siena and Canisius... Look, we’re not good. We probably won’t make the NCAA tourney, and perhaps not even the NIT. Congrats. I’ll go ahead and start a Bona basketball thread for you all to enjoy. Let’s see if you can keep it afloat on your way to a nat’l title ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point out one time in these 42 pages where I have done that? And, I didn't even do it here. I "follow" threads - which is odd to me that hardly anybody does. So once I post in a thread, I get emails when anybody else posts in it...............I keep seeing complaints about the bigs. And, I thought wait, these guys thought Osun was somebody they didn't want?............Even Schmidt (our coach) said we'd have never landed him if his friend, Kyle Lofton, wasn't already on board and recruiting the hell out of him. 14 minutes ago, Johnny Hammersticks said: You didn’t see any Cuse fans posting in the Bona thread (oh wait...there isn’t one) when your boys lost to perennial powers Ohio, UVM, Siena and Canisius Ohio is the game he got hurt in and then he didn't play in those other three at all.

I don't know when you were last on The Hill, but I was there for the Clemson game in September, having last been to the campus area for a hoops game in January, and I couldn't believe how different the Marshall/Crouse area looked. There's a large apartment building where Hungry Chuck's/Charlie's and Funk 'N Waffles used to be. This may be blasphemy, but I cannot stand the food at Varsity - far too greasy for me. Faegan's, on the other hand, is a great place to grab a bite and a drink or two before or after a game. As for the team itself...yikes. I do like watching Girard play, but frankly expected more from Guerrier and Goodine. Little disappointed that it doesn't seem that Dolezaj, Buddy and Sidibe have shown any marked improvement from last season. Far too often this season, it's been Hughes against the world.
