Sidibe’s 3 whopping good games prove zip to me. Jesse couldn’t guard my gramma. JBA is raw AF.
All three are lightweights too!
GET A REAL CENTER! This is pathetic. We are f*#&$ing Syracuse for God’s sake.

Settle down Jazz... we didn’t lose Shaquille O’Neil. We lost Quincy Ballard. That said, we desperately need a big man with strength and size, like you said a beefy guy. I’m tired of the twig centers too.

Jesse couldn’t guard my Grandma either! Lmao 😂
We’re in big trouble next season if we’re counting on Sidibe and Jesse and JBA. Twig city!

I’m tired of the twig centers too. Excuse me? I got the right to be pissed. We have a legit 7’ 240 pound center fall into our lap (local kid) and we still can’t seal the deal? We’ve needed a beefy center for close to a decade! I’m going to bitch, because the staff’s recruitment of centers is DOG SHIT! No QB is nothing special (we hope), but my God, someone better wake the hell up at SU and realize that the size/strength of our roster is an embarrassment.

Jazz, this kid probably would have hardly played next year and is more than likely a project. Listen to Dean's Pod and you will feel better.

Yo patreon is doo doo i never get updates about when dean drops an update and when i learned i needed to put in $5/month for all pods it never updated my request. I still only see the one from the end of march because apparently i have to wait a whole month to have access to the higher tier content after upgrading

Jazzy i love u but the boys are right, chill a bit. Hamilton at FSU is one of the best recruiters in CBB. This kid wasn’t really a local, he played his HS ball in NC. If you look at the type of bigs we are involved in coming up, they are big beef boys. I think Jimmy sees what we’re all seeing. We will find someone. Not for next year, but definitely soon.

Thank you. Love ya back bro. But what are you basing that prediction on? The last decade? Our oldest D1 coach’s ability to recruit lately? The love the current high school players have for our zone? It’s not about Quincy Ballard. It’s about losing the recruiting battle every single time we try to get an elite big for the last decade it seems. Why should I believe we’re going to get a good big? Maybe when JB retires that will happen. We were in on a lot of big beef boys for several years now. Heck we even made the final cut for a few. Why is that trend going to change???

Yeah we were in late on this kid it seems and why would you go to SU if you are a C when Hamilton and FSU have been killing it with bigs lately. He still seems like a bit of a project to me even though we wouldn’t need to worry about strength with him.

If we can land Mac or someone else in 2021 that is a big with size and beef then I am happy we missed here. (And maybe missing here can help with that)
I am not upset we missed on QB as we have been recruiting him for 5 minutes, I am more upset at the lack size in the middle which of course he could of solved. I cant imagine QB is making a massive impact this upcoming season so it is not like it would have much effect on 2020-21 team. This late in the cycle the only impact on next years roster will be a grad transfer.
To assume Sidbe's late season run will translate to a full season is foolish. I hope I am wrong there but gonna need to see it to believe.
Now it is nice that the staff seems to realize our centers have been a problem, but they need to close on someone now... A lot of random thoughts here, not sure if it made any sense. I think my overall point is of course we need size and strength in the middle. But I would prefer a legit prospect oppose to another project who will clog up the roster.

A lot of random thoughts here, not sure if it made any sense. I think my overall point is of course we need size and strength in the middle. But I would prefer a legit prospect oppose to another project who will clog up the roster. I’ve had time to simmer down about the loss of QB. I guess it’s not so much missing out on him that set me off, but rather the collective number of times this has happened. Every bruiser center we recruit lately we miss. And then finally one appears that is local, and not that highly sought after and we still swing and miss. Of course a guy like Mac would be much better. But we missed on all those types the last few years, so my confidence is absolutely shot that we can land a good big man that’s not a beanpole. I’m also not sold on the so called progress made by Sidibe. Jesse has a ton of work to do in the weight room, and we still don’t know what we have with JBA. I guess I’m willing to take a lesser known beefy guy even if it’s just someone who can clog up the middle for 15-20 minutes a game and provide 5 extra fouls at the position. Because even if you believe Sidibe has improved (I question it) he gets into terrible foul trouble. We definitely need some interior beef!!!

I gotta pipe in here. We gotta get a big guy down low with strength that can defend the more physical teams. No excuses.

C’mon! Big after big is committing elsewhere. If we stand pat with the bigs we currently have, JB is a moron. Only a fool would enter into next season with our current beanpole bigs. Especially when HE ADMITTED that his recruitment of big men has been poor... then to do nothing about it or whiff on all of them???
Offered:
Patrick Tape, Cliff Omoruyi, Hunter Dickinson, Jamari Sibley, Isaiah Jackson, Noah Collier, Dain Dainja, Isaiah Cottrell, Shon Robinson, Lance Ware, Quincy Ballard
COUNTLESS others have been available that we haven’t pursued too. Even on the transfer market. Unacceptable!!!!!!!
