At this point, I think it’s clear that JB wasn’t to blame for Benny Williams. The situation was supposed to be different with Red and it’s arguably worse. Something to keep in mind when talking about Woody Newton and Kadary Richmond. Agreed on Benny, and Woody is probably a good example. Kadary was a good player here who probably should’ve started here, and is a good player at SH so only thing I “blame” Boeheim for is playing him less than Girard. Maybe Kadary would’ve left anyway if he didn’t like it here(and I doubt it was much fun to be at Syracuse in 2020-21 with COVID shutdowns).

He had one foot out the door the moment he arrived on campus.

According to Ryan Blackwell, Richmond wanted to leave almost immediately. If Blackwell knew that, then obviously JB did. So why start Richmond over Girard when Girard is the guy you know will be back? There were also questions surrounding his conditioning and he clearly wanted to shoot more from outside.

So why start Richmond over Girard when Girard is the guy you know will be back? There were also questions surrounding his conditioning and he clearly wanted to shoot more from outside. Right, if true then it’s understandable. Was frustrating at times though. Guy was a great fit defensively for the zone, and was one of the only guys who could penetrate, and was also unselfish and a good passer. That tourney game when we couldn’t break the press, and then finally put him in and he dribbled it up no problem and clinched the game was kinda amazing. He’s shot more from outside at SH, but he’s still selective. He seemed like a guy that had the b-ball sense to not need to be yanked every time he shoots a 3. He’s shot a good percentage at SH on limited attempts(but still more than here). I’d take him over Mintz in a heartbeat, I wish he was a 4 year player here. But what can you do, if he truly wanted out from early on. Can’t help but wonder how much of that was COVID stuff. Cuse players have been known to like the party scene(Carmelo - “I didn’t get cheated up there”) and the Dome crowds certainly add something to the experience.

The fact people are taking Benny’s side in this scenario is insane. He should be removed from the program and if he wants to finish his degree let him but he shouldn’t play anymore

He should be removed from the program and if he wants to finish his degree let him but he shouldn’t play anymore I assume you’re talking about Syracusefan, and if so…man, I don’t miss that place at all. Half the OT board is here now anyway - that was the only thing I enjoyed over there the last few years. Sports boards are terrible.

That’s amazing.

That photo of Benny yawning on the bench with both hands behind his head…..fuck him. He’s such an immature clown.
Also, can’t help but wonder if he was actually surprised he didn’t play, or if he was just putting on a show? Gotta assume Red told him there’s a chance he wasn’t getting in and why? Doesn’t seem like there should be any surprises at that level, come game time?
