He was in our 5 best players for sure. He played starter’s minutes though. Q and Brown were easily my favorite players on this team so it sucks to lose him. Thought he played hard and played to win, and his on court antics didn’t bother me because I don’t think they hurt his play. Kinda like Devo, I think it’s just who he is. If he’s really that much of a pain in the ass though….i don’t know. Dasher is not in the “toe the Syracusefan line” crew, but I wonder who he’s getting the info from and if it’s slanted or not. I will say….if Westry is healthy, do we really need Q? They seem like they have similar skill sets. Maybe Q knows he’s not going to be the PG and knows Westry must bust his ass and take his spot? I trust most of the boards sources, so I'm not doubting what they are hearing...but I will say, much like the KADARY LAZY line was used MID SEASON when it was clear he was better than Joe and then we saw JB repeat it after he left...I wouldnt be shocked if the "Q is an issue" line is coming after he decided to leave. I'm not suggesting if it's true or false, just that it's coming from the source that wants that narrative out there Jim Boeheim said Kadary’s conditioning publicly was why he couldn’t play which was the code for lazy. That wasn’t sources. I will say the Copeland stuff has come out like PR for why he is leaving. I was shocked at how much the moderators over there were spinning for Judah. Mintz is obviously the best domino. Question will be what Carey and Bell do. Hima is graduating.

I will say - I’ve never seen a team fold like this one did so many times. Where a close game becomes a 20 point loss. Where we lose by 30-40 points. Those things just shouldn’t happen. And it was clear why it happened - our guys lost their composure and folded.
In the moment I typically blamed Judah the most. He was the one with the ball the most, crying at the refs the most, walking back on D the most, or pretending to go for steals that he was never going to get and loafing back into the play the most.
But it takes more than one guy IMO.
Hopefully next years team has some heart and composure when things aren’t going well. I’m glad we’re not running it back. You don’t learn to have heart and mental toughness. You either have it or you don’t.

Mintz has to be trolling us.

Taylor is portaling........................nooooooooooo!!!!
What shall we do. Kid was gritty though, and really put the tangible into intangibles for me. Gonna miss him, and wish him well. Could have a great future in finance someday - great head on his shoulders.
Anyway, somehow the "Kadary is lazy" bit made me remember my most annoying fights on the other board. Rak is lazy and doesn't hustle! Which lasted for 3 years until he was dominant as a Senior. That was such nonsense. He was kinda lazy as a Frosh....and after that kid hustled more than Buddy ever did on defense and couldn't shake the label. lol

I'll be sad to see Cope leave, I think he would have been an interesting dude to watch develop over 4 years.
Certainly frustrating at times.....but fun too.

It was a good shot that he could make, he just missed it. He made that same shot all the time once you passed him the ball more than 4 times a game….

Is Jeff Aquino on Twitter anyone here? Just want to make sure before I go after him. Nothing but nice words for JT but wants to trash Q and Mintz.

I get why the players are doing that “your time to shine” tweet/instgram. It’s nice and all….
But seriously. JT has his chance to shine. He bricked like 7 straight shots vs Ga Tech and never shot the rest of the year

He bricked like 7 straight shots vs Ga Tech and never shot the rest of the year exactly. It’s not like Taylor rode the bench here. He started and was dogwater for 80 percent of it. Thank you for your service but it’s for the best

Also the whole “no one took more shots in practice than Taylor” thing is so funny. Sounds like he needed to take more cause it didn’t help

As Guru from Gangstarr once said:
you and I are the past, c’est la vie, much respect girl But now you’re my ex-girl ‘cause I’m on with the next girl
‘Cause girls look soooo good, next!

GoSU96 seems downright giddy that Q is leaving.
Wonder why?

Mames Mungro with literally the funniest thing I’ve seen on the internet in days describing JT..”No offense to the guy, but he played like he was a basketball robot who was bad at basketball”
