Syracuse Basketball 2023-24

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

I just finished reading the new Carmelo memoir. It was decent in parts, but too much ghost writing and was way too surfacy in parts where they could have really fleshed it out. It’s like they rushed to put the book out. 
 

One of the few interesting Syracuse tidbits is that Carmelo was coming back to Syracuse for his sophomore year. He met with Boeheim, and Boeheim basically said “over my dead body— you are going pro now” (though in much more direct and vulgar words). 
 

The other sort of interesting tidbit from Syracuse was that he roomed with Edelin, and Edelin had a little

community of friends in the Pioneer Projects in Syracuse. Carmelo ended up hanging there and really being part of that community.

Couldn’t see the opening game due to it only being on some weird channel. Looked like we shot the ball well. Anyone catch it?

Definitely a loaded offensive team.. have 4 guys who can really shoot it and spread the floor 

 

Jesse Edwards looking prime for a big year ... I like the squad alot 

 

Of course there will be people who will be complaining about losing Richmond.. but Joe looks primed

 

He's a stud

Thanks! I was just able to fast forward thru a decent amount of the replay on the ESPN app just now.  I am loving Edwards and I thought Anslem actually looked very good too. I am thinking that Swider is an upgrade for this team over Guerrier.

Swider wasn't great from deep today but not worried about that at all 

 

The kid can stroke it from deep  

 

Anslem has been called the most improved player per boehiem

I love when Benny said “Why would you do that?” to the player after this blocked shot 😂

2022 class is Fuego 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Cuse hammers Drexel.  Lots of contributions.  Jesse Edwards might be the biggest surprise.  He barely looked like he understood the game last season.  He’s turned into a force in the paint. Swider is a legit threat and TBD’s favorite son JGIII set a Cuse record for 3 pointers made to start a season.  I believe he’s 8-8 at this point.  I hope Boeheim (coach) engaged Benny enough to keep him out of the transfer portal.

Very promising start, especially from Girard who is finally playing like the shooter that he was billed as coming out of high school. I'll be more of a believer when we start doing it against better teams, but I think any reasonable person would be very happy with the start we've had so far.

 

I don't know when I'll get around to really doing my deep dives on the incoming recruits, but now that they've signed their letters of intent, I'll probably start trying to dive in when I have time.

Jimmy Boeheim has impressed me, as well as Swider, and the big men (Edwards and Anselem) they aren’t just guys that take up space on the offensive side that we usually have lol

 

Buddy developing his game at becoming more than just a 3 shooter

I Don't think anyone is considering entering the portal 2 games in .. let alone the lone recruit in a class who will get maximum coaching

Jimmy is a super crafty shot creator. I love how assertive he has been too. That said, the big irony given his dad, is that he is the weak link on defense.

I do think JB needs to get Benny a lot more minutes here, especially in the early games. He really needs the PT if he is going to contribute in conference play.

Right. I’m just worried Boeheim is gonna stick to the upper class men when the schedule gets tough and push Benny to the portal.

Just because it's happened with some players doesn't mean it's going to happen with all them 

 

Every single recruit knows what they're getting into when they come to play under boehiem... Some think they can handle it and can't 

 

Most suck it up and get better

 

Benny is super talented, but is not a big offensive threat right now.. he has a flat jump shot and needs to learn how to score in college

 

He is a threat on the defensive side of the ball and Jim will find minutes for him in the rotation.. but he's not going to go to somewhere in the portal and start scoring 25 

 

He needs to work on his offense game
