Not sure you can without having complete stiffs filling the end of the bench.

We used to call those development guys.

What could be cool out of all of this is see these guys start at the level they probably should be at and work their way to the higher one. Should lead to some great games and getting good players more experience early.

They still are development guys, it’s just that now the dividends pay off at a different program.

Seems like he was a well liked kid and saw Naheem and Cuffe both post on IG in disappointment he is leaving as did Quadir. Seeing some of Quadirs social activity cheering on the guys who’ve left is kind of telling where he sat in terms of his views too…

No, we have to add another 4/5 kind of player, and ideally one who can shoot the 3, to open up the lane. The Centers we have right now can't score outside of the low blocks.

Maybe against Cornell and Canisius. Not so much against ACC teams.
PLEASE get a stretch 4/5. We need a big who can step away from the basket and shoot the three, to open lanes for drivers.
It's an obvious piece of the offense that we lack. Please focus on that skill set. Once we have that, we have a pretty good team with all the necessary parts.

You know who knows something about developing guys?
If Syracuse wants to guarantee a loss, sure.

Ok….it has been a couple of weeks. Any chance William comes back? Would Coach take him back? All things being equal, I would prefer someone who has practiced for a year with the team.

If McCleod can’t stay healthy (like last season) he would get some meaningful playing time.
Hard doubt. If he couldn't outperform carey then he has no business on the floor.
You never know - maybe we should wait to see big Will play before writing him off. I doubt he's Jessie Edwards, but he could become a productive player for us down the line.
At the tail end of last year, the coaches considered burning his redshirt year. I don't have inside info, but that would make me assume he was further along than Peter Carey at that point.

I'd try hormone therapy first.
