It’s hard for me seeing Cooley leave the Northeast, however if Maryland wants him my guess is he takes the job.
We know, we know, just like this year, the conference title will be determined on paper, before the season starts, by experts just like you.
He's making 3.4 million. That's good money. I can't imagine Syracuse giving anyone substantially more than JB makes.
So, you’re saying you don’t expect to have anybody worth mentioning?
The transfer portal has changed everything. You can decide next year right now, I will wait. I'm relieved we outperformed your expectations however.
Since the postponement was not the team’s fault, and since the rescheduling problem was not the team’s fault, I don’t see the logic, or justice, in punishing the team.
Huh, how did you duck us? We played, you lost. To be fair to you, the loss was in a place we normally beat you, but still.
Could it happen? Sure. I wouldn’t bet on it though. Providence isn’t even in the same conversation as Baylor or Texas in terms of a destination for players, high school recruits or transfers. Which highly coveted transfers did Providence get? They happen to be way outperforming with the talent they have, but banking on an under-talented team outperforming is foolish. And the Nate Watsons and AJ Reeveses are the product of a recruiting era that existed under a different Big East landscape for PC.
That is what you are basing it on. If you look up when the new BE started PC has finished in the top half of the conference. Last yr and I forget the other yr they didn't. It doesn't matter if Cooley has Dunn on the team or Kyron Cartwright (200ish recruit who led us to the BE championship and almost beat Nova in OT) that team was full of 3* players. In the end Cooley's gets the best of his players. As far as a stellar lineup, it's not about the flash for me as long as they win.
This is my point. You guys are longing for glory days of being able to once in a while pull off a surprise BE title. We’re not shooting for the same things. We’re chasing what Nova has been doing. If Hurley duplicated the best three year stretch Cooley has had over the next three years, he would be on the hot seat and the fan base would be up in arms. The expectations our fanbase has for our program can’t be achieved with stacking three stars.
They are rated first by Kenpom in the country in luck factor, and it is by a wide margin
Yeah, except the transfer portal is a similar competition to that for HS recruits. What is giving you any indication that you will be able to compete for the most coveted transfers?
Yeah, unclear statement on my part.
Does Syracuse want him for the 1 career NCAAT win or the 3 NIT wins?
I wouldn’t think so, Hurley would be a better choice.
Our coach. After a kid has gone elsewhere, Cooley has a completely different look.
We are undefeated in games decided by less than 10 points. That’s all luck. Cooley says so himself. He tells the team, you are lucky, not good. Somebody named Pom Ken says so.
You guys all pick the strangest time to pump your chests and spread your peacock feathers. You have been warned, by your own seasoned posters but you persist. I think a new t-shirt is in order.
Nope, just think your posts in this thread have been dumb. Though if Ed Cooley really told his team they're not good, just lucky that is pretty hilarious
Do you have 22k posts on message boards for all BE teams or are you just strangely obsessed with UConn?
Show your math on that one.
