I think contracts are the way it has to go in major college sports - would effectively be semi-pro league - but really excited for upcoming season(s)

[@syracuse1433]

PG: JJ
SG: Elijah Moore
SF: Chris Bell
PF: Freeman
C: Lampkin

JJ Westry Bell Freeman Lampkin. As far as who plays where I expect them to let the horses get loose and have a deep bench. I expect JJ and Westry to have the ball alot. Bring some excitement back to the dome and run people out of the gym.

Is this a deeper team ? I think if Q and Benny were not head cases and Gmac does not poach Carey(depth with experience) and Brown stays ,just adding Lampkin and Freeman would of made them a threat to get to the second week of the NCAA.

Not having a P5 five last season was a disaster that dominoes into those other guys falling apart and forcing Taylor to play at a level he was not ready for. Before Naheem got hurt he was nothing to write home about

A hilarious take, Moten says Maliq went somewhere where he isn’t going to be starting (he probably will start) but at minimum will be competing for a starting job but then calls him a coward for not wanting to compete at Syracuse. Maliq for sure got a bag to go to Duke and no matter how much you don’t want to admit it, Duke is on a different level than Syracuse. If ESPN was an option for any of you on this podcast you would pack your bags tonight

He has a better chance of starting at Duke than Syracuse. Dukes paying for our bench players.. Who’s really on a higher level?

@@syracuse1433 Syracuse has lost their last 9 games vs duke lol, Duke will be top 10 preseason and Syracuse won’t sniff a top 25 poll. Maybe you just can’t deal with the fact a player left your program for a better opportunity
