Bazley's camp was so stupid by not having him go to college as the guy would have been a first round pick, plus our team would have been soooooo much better.

No surprise. Givony is really plugged in too.
Yeah, Bazely was foolish. Just delay going pro til April. Play for SU, develop a little, get stronger (?), etc. Not sure how much better we would’ve been given the PG woes, lack of team speed, slow pace, etc. Probably a little better for sure.
I also wonder about what actually went down on his visit. A certain plugged in podcaster mentioned on his pod after the news broke re: decommitment, that Bazely didn’t really get along with the players and Oshae. There were also rumblings that Bazely and his camp didn’t like the system and the pace of how they were going to be expected to play in. Did Bazely play pickup ball with the guys, saw how they actually played especially Frank and say, “hell no?” Obviously he wanted to get some cash ASAP but me thinks there were some other actual basketball concerns about Syracuse. Just speculating and could be totally wrong.

Interesting take Sobe... I wouldn't doubt there is at least some element of truth to that. Maybe both the $ concerns and the team chemistry issues... I guess only Darius knows for sure.

Chemistry issues, you think he would have known this on his official visit and before he signed? I think the idea of $$$ got the best of this kid. Would have been interesting to see if he would have offered a real low post threat.

I think it was more of Oshae wasn't thrilled with him possibly coming and having to share the spotlight, man how I was wish things would have worked out and he came.
Oh and I believe the week of the McD's or right around that is when things changed. His camp was getting plugs in there ears about shoe deals or whatever and wanted the $$$ sooner than waiting a year. Still a think a dumb move on their part but it is what it is.

Most likely just chasing the dollars ASAP. Probably right re: Oshae sharing the spotlight. So dumb. Look at Kentucky and all those teams with the loaded one-and-dones. K and Cal, say what you want, but you better buy in and be a team player. Share the ball, sacrifice, etc. Could have sworn Bazely came on another visit as well to SU but could be wrong.
