Re: Return Of The Orange 08-09
Without question, the play of the day belongs to the white dude for the 'Cuse that stole the ball from the Marquette player, and then went coast to coast with the dunk and 1. Wow, I got off my feet for that one.

Sorry to hijack this thread quickly, but Lunardi has Marquette vs Ohio State in the 5 vs 12 game. I want to stay away from Marquette at all costs, but Ohio State is just not that great a basketball team. I don't know.
So many average teams this year.

Re: Better or Worse ('09): Syracuse Orange
Depends on who all leaves the team. I think they will be better if Greene is gone and about the same if he stays. Flynn has a chance to be the best PG in the Big East next year if he matures. He has one of the best handles in the league, and he can fill up the scoring column. But he needs to get under control and continue to get better and better. It will be interesting to see how Devendorf comes back from the injury. I think he will come back a more controlled player and will be a good addition to next years team. Harris will provide intensity, good defense, and a pretty solid offensive output. They have potential but like many have stated they need to mature, and play more under control. They are very young this year and lack any depth. Give them another year to mature and I think this team has the potential to be very good.

Re: Return Of The Orange 08-09
Great post Noboa, really shows how biased some people can be. He can't reasonably back up anything he said. You add ball handlers like Devo and Rautins and Harris won't have to make many decisions. Greene won't need to shoot as much when we add our two good shooters back to the lineup; Same goes for Jonny. Anyone who thinks this team with everyone back won't sniff the top 10 is a mush-head.
Which of our starters wouldn't start for G-Town next year?
We'll have a phenomenal team team next year wire to wire. I guarantee we'll make a run in the tourney better than this years G-Town. Our offense will be top 5 in the country. Our defense well thats another story but we won't need more than a few stops a game. Donte Greene if he comes back will be a different player.

Re: Better or Worse ('09): Syracuse Orange
Actually I have some damning evidence that will expose JN and his beloved Orange. The JO/Big East Tourney have been killing my time though. Tomorrow expect a KO.
Enjoy the NIT boys.

Re: Better or Worse ('09): Syracuse Orange
Johnny Flynn is a really good player IMO. The problem with him is that he doesn't have any backcourt help. Paul Harris is the dumbest player I have seen. Which doesn't surprise me because this dude is almost 22 and still a sophomore. I might be one of the few people who really enjoys watching Devendorf play. Dude is tough as nails (like Jessie Sapp) and has a swagger that I just love. If you put Rautins and Devendorf in the backcourt with Flynn, Syracuse wins 25 games IMO.
Donte Greene is like Tim Thomas with not as much talent, but the same kind of game unfortunately. Not a big fan of his and probably never will. Shoots too many 3's and has the ability to be a much better player. Truthfully, he seems like he wants to be Durant, but he could easily be an inside-outside threat and he doesn't want to be.
Also don't underestimate Boeheim alienating some of his players.

It is with great regreat tonight that I announce this. I will soon be exposed and implicated in a recruiting scandal, that will rock the Syracuse Program.
At Christmas, my company gemerously offered me a bonus of great financial reward of $1500. It was with this great financial fortune that I would travel accross the border on a weekly basis to host the upcoming recruits for the Syracuse Program. Using this newly found fortune I began to host several parties consisting of a few cases of Canadian beer and some ketchup chips. With all this cash, I also brought a few working girls to these parties. These were not level 7 girls of the Emperor Club, but the unheard of and unheralded level 32 girls, who are a healthy 300 punds. I then used these girls, my Canadian beer, the Ketchup Chips, and I may have a slipped a $20 to a prospective recruit. I was disappointed when Coach Boeheim told me that my efforts did not result in any signings, as I thought I had been extremely gracious to these players.
Nova has apparently found this out, and I will be exposed as a big time booster.
Sourry to the Orange Program, and sorry to the members of this board for embarrasing them.
