I noticed it, too. He picked the 'Cuse just last Tuesday. Do you think he'll flip?

I jumped over to the Syracuse board. Those people have no love for us.

Sorry - That was meant to be a compliment since Huskyhawk - I consider to be very perceptive reading the stitches on a fastball.
I will repeat again:
“ Chief thinks he is Coach Hurley's Power forward”.

Of course I know what you meant. I'm going for my PhD in Chief-speak. I just got really excited. :p ;)

Hmm. Makes this pick an hour after Chief gives us his prediction...

Oh this isn't a prediction. I haven't heard him say that. How I read that was "Akok Akok is coach Hurley's ideal power forward"

Literally the ONLY thing they have over us is conference. That's it. Nothing else. Oh, and they have a bigger arena (but it's old).
  • They are in a god awful location. Without Boeheim, why would anyone want to go up to that shitehole?
  • They have a bit longer tradition, but with much less success less championships at every single level -- conf, conf tournament, NCAAs 4>1. Every non Syracuse basketball fan in the country wouldn't trade our history for their's.
  • They've got an old-arse HOF coach (which is fine in the short term) who plays an outdated system that does NOT develop guys for the pros defensively--see their moribund pro alumni list. Our pro alumni list is better.
  • The picker will probably kick the the bucket in a few years anyway. So they have that hanging over their head.
  • It will be BEUUUUUTIFUL if Gerry Mac takes over lol
  • They could very well go the way of BC.

That is the starting point to understanding recruiting. Coach Hurley has a vision of how he wants him team to be - and that helps one understand who he focuses on.
I will tell you when this staff makes someone a priority and gets to close time - the attention they give a kid is off the charts.

Yes, they do wave that ACC flag at us, but I can understand why JB was hammering the Syracuse administration for leaving the BE for the ACC. They went for the football money, but it put him in a situation where he will probably never win a conference championship again.
