Derryck Thornton Transferring

Why the hell are you here anyway? I guess level of interest in a message board correlates directly with number of titles won by the respective team?

Why do you have to be disrespectful to the guy? He is fine on the board and has the right to post. Don't act like the guy you are trying to portray him as being.

Agreed. There are plenty of Syracuse buffoons to shred to pieces. Eastcoast2 is not one of them.

I just think it is disingenuous as UConn fans in this very specific instance to rattle Ks cage about this, as JC was world reknown for this very thing. I mean it was a big part of our past APR issues. ( transfers who transferred because they were not getting playing time and/or recruited over) . It's a crappy system.

Agree, but K is held up as everything that is right with college athletics, a paragon of virtue. JC was damn near a pariah for a while.

Not to pass premature judgement, but this guy seems cut from the kobe/FriarJ cloth of respectful rival fans. I see no reason to give him crap.

The uncle retweeted this:



I doubt those numbers are right re: $$$, but he's not making nothing. It's a fair point - BigBlueNation is there to be fleeced.

That's hilarious.

After years of seeing sdhusky and others get s*** on while trying to engage in discussion with the fruits on this site's sister site no less, I no longer have sympathy for the non-confrontational Cuse visitor. If you don't like it cry me a river.

It happens to every top team. Look at Syracuse last year - BJ Johnson and Ron Patterson transferred. Granted we lost scholarships, but I'm sure Boeheim and staff sat down with them and told them to not expect any minutes in the coming years as they were bringing in higher rated recruits (Malachi Richardson, Frank Howard) and looking to add more (Tyus Battle 2016, others in 2017). Same with Kaleb Joseph just this past week.

Syracuse and top team??????????????
That just doesn't compute
Thornton and Joseph are comparable????
Go back to your Cuse board and bash Geno and the lady Huskies and tell everyone that the Cuse girls accomplished more

Well that's true. But remember 4>1 and it eats their souls. I think we are in a better frame of mind to welcome a rational opposition poster than they are. To them when we are over there it is just a reminder of decades of fail. It's not the same here. We know what championships mean.

And, no disrespect to sdhusky, but a lot of the stuff he says on the Syracuse board, particularly recruiting info, is just wrong.

Yeah but we always knew the truth. That's all that matters.

He alternately tweaks them and blows them kisses. It's quite the interesting dynamic.

His trainer said Coach K lied to him about how he would be used in order to get him to reclassify to class of 2015. Said he was promised he would he used in ball screen situations, but only had 20 such situations all year, "while Providence's Kris Dunn had over 250 ball screens." (From 24/7 Sports)

Ding! Ding! Ding!

2011 was the equivalent of us running over their family members with a Mack truck. Then in 2014, we backed up the truck and ran over them again just for the hell of it.

They're levels beyond "off the deep end" at this point when it comes anything related to our program, so you just have to cut them some slack. EastCoast makes better posts than, at minimum, 80% of the people on this board, so there is really no need trash talk him.
