What are your expectations for Cuse Football this season?⬇
Kadary Richmond was Syracuse' best guard in the past two decades.
The more I think of it the more I think Kiyan may go elsewhere. Trying to bring a ring to SU is Brony James pressure…
Do Winston Watkins and Ty Jackson know each other?
*UPDATE: Syracuse made the Final 6 for 2025 4⭐Guard Derek Dixon*
Sky should be the limit. I always tell my students to aim for a perfect score. If they fall short but I know they’ve given it their all, I’m proud of them.
15-0 🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊
I hope he goes to a better school than Syracuse, like Michigan or something
*Syracuse has the 6th ranked class in 2026*
Great show tonight. Love your podcast. Question, which game this year is the most important must win game this year?
@@jerryturner9100 Glad you enjoy the podcast! GT at home Week 2 will really be the benchmark of how good/bad this team is. If they're in the CFP conversation then it's probably Miami
@@LockedOnSyracuse I agree with Georgia Tech. Lose that and fans will be saying same old Syracuse. But a win and like you said, it could be the start of a great season up on the hill.
If Kiyan comes to SU, let's just hope the fans don't do to him what they did to Matt Roe, yelling "Shoot! Shoot!" every time he touched the ball. Ultimately, the fans drove him away.
As much as I would love to see him in a Syracuse uniform, I will be fine with him going to Auburn or Ohio State (USC would have been fine if Andy Enfield was still there, but not any more). Indiana definitely would have been on my list of "please don't go there," so the fact that he left them off does not bother me at all.
Have you ever given any thought to interviewing any of the new transfers?
Let’s hope he lands at SU. It would be HUGE to say the least. We have to get back to being a power.
Final 6 is good but unless he signs with SU, it is meaningless. Given that, I like our chances here!!
Too bad hes a Gator
Long way to go before the decision needs to be made, and it may need to be revisited once conference play starts. But I will say this: I suspect at this point Carlos' value is underrated because he will now be playing with players at or above his caliber. He will now have some top-flight teammates to play with. I believe he will perform above expectations, perhaps well above. But his competitors for the job may do this also. It's unwise to make this decision now.
Good stuff Happy Belated B Day
Who should be the starting point guard next season?⬇
Jaquian Real PG
In
UPDATE: Syracuse is included in Kiyan Anthony's FINAL SIX along with: Rutgers, USC, FSU, Auburn, and Ohio St.
How can u not luv sam. Happy birthday 🎂 sam, I am..I think he is more likely, with less pressure on him...as his kid..If Melo was a helicopter dad coach...not ez and smooth..I think he would have more Rebel ..more combatitive..Inst. his transition is more smooth. Less chaos, cause of both their personalities, chill nature, healthy father & son relationship. I think Kiyan will..no matter what. A gift to Melo out of Luv & RESPECT.
If Syracuse can go 10-2, 11-1, or 12-0 this year then I think Fran will get the 4 and 5 star recruits to flood in. Then the trick will be to keep Fran, because Big schools will want him.....
That’s a good problem to have
Calvin Russell must ultimately SIGN with Syracuse for the bet to be fulfilled
Naheed (5) Eddie (4) Freeman (3) Bell (2) JJ (1). Play big
Isn't Rippey's father good friends with Adrian Autry?
I believe so yes
Lumpkin > Macleod Freeman > Brown Bell/Davis. > Bell Starling > Starling last year.
Syracuse also recently offered 2026 4⭐ Guard Qayden Samuels so now it's 10 total for the class🍊👍
Tyler Jackson is small and not really a point guard… a bit overrated and falling in the rankings. Tillery, and Lewis are both better.
If Bell is motivated and stays level headed ,Autry should be giving him the keys to this team . He may not be the best player but I put stock in a guy who is familiar with the program,the fan base and the opponent.
No way...he hasn't done it in 62 games...immaturity, lack of effort, doesn't rebound or play much defense...BUT, he does shoots 3s better than anyone on the team, currently...MUCH more MUST be demanded of him, or else the bench...can't tolerate his lack of effort, and terrible look for the team to keep playing him...hurts team morale/effort...
Bell will start. However, Davis will play depending on the situation. When Bell in the game begins to miss shots and makes defensive mistakes out he goes.
Its going to be....Carlos, Starling, Bell, Freeman, Lampkin starting with Lucas Taylor, Chance Westry, Jyare Davis, and Elijah Moore as the next 4 men up then Mcleod and Cuffe will play the sparing minutes. Starling i think will get subbed out early in games for Taylor so that he can run point when Carlos needs rest. But Carlos will most likely be playing the heaviest minutes out of snyone on the team for how important he is. Starling, Taylor and Moore are all scorers while Carlos is the actual facilitator which is what we need for 30 minutes a game at point........Theres 200 totsl minutes to be had inba 40 minute game multiplied by 5 positions. This is how I think the minutes per game pie chart will break down.... Carlos 30, Taylor 20, Starling 25, Moore 5, Westry 15, Bell 25, Freeman 30, Davis 25, Lampkin 25. Then Mcleod and Cuffe will get the scrap 4 to 5 minutes per game if and when needed
Sorry 2024 starting 5 below
If Elijah Moore is as good as advertised, then JJ Starling could very well be the starting point guard.
Moore is a lower-end 4⭐ so I wouldn't expect too much in year one
It's hard to pick starters when you don't know about tendency for turnovers and propensity to commit fouls. I hope it's Westry cause he has a cool name. J/K.
Starting 5 for 2025. Chance Westery , pg ; Donny Freeman pf, Eddy Lampcon c, Chris Bell sf, Jj starling sg
And I'd expect to see a lot of Mcleod, Davis and Moore.
@@44032 McLeod will probably see 10-15 min. Davis the primary backup forward (can play the 3 or 4) and it's all about the shot with Moore
There is not a ton of video on Westry, but from what I have seen if he is healthy he will be the point guard, think he will be special. I also think JJ will hit another gear, now that Mintz is gone at the 2. I think Bell will continue to improve & do more driving/better D at the 3. Freeman will be a monster at the 4 and Lampkin will be real solid at the 5. 3 point shooting will be way better this year, not just Bell. Moore, Davis, & Carlos will be strong contributers off the bench
The highlights on this site of Westry at Auburn makes him look like Copeland but hopefully without all the drama. Copeland was recruited to be our point guard, got displaced by Mintz and would probably have replaced Mintz if he had stayed.
Bell needs to stop getting on himself when he is not hitting threes. He then seems to forget the rest of his game which gets him benched. When he is hitting threes you see a lot more of his game besides making threes. Rebounding seems to improve as well as his defense doing the same .
We can only hope...if he only shoots 3s, he should be benched...
Chris Bell had some spurts of defense last year. I bet he’s been working on it. I want to believe in his improvement.
I hope so too. That would be great for the team next year🍊
Eddie, Donnie, JJ, Chris, Jaquan
We agree🤝
Which player will NOT START opening night next season?⬇
Drop your Starting 5 below⬇
I think they really could use more forwards and a good center. You forgot London Jemison 6'7", leaning Syracuse at #47, higher than Tyler Jackson, who I think would be great if he teams up with Kian. You also forgot Ryder Frost. I would love to get Chris Cenac, but he is probably going to be a real tough get. There are a bunch of 6'10" power forward/centers in the 2025 class 36-70 I would love to see Syracuse offer a scholarship too
Yep there’s a lot of players Cuse is in the mix for, but wanted to focus more on Kiyan and TJack (plus Acaden) for this episode. The big men Cuse is offering are Cenac and Asher Elson. Hopefully they can land at least one of them
I don't think Lewis comes if Anthony and Jackson both come. Too many blue bloods in the running. Tell him to talk to Chris Cenac.
I’ll take that trade. Cenac would be the best player in the class
It would be awesome to get both Kiyan Anthony and Tyler Jackson. I still want us to see get Ryder Frost as well. I think he has NBA potential. That being said, I don’t think HS recruiting class is important as it used to be. It will depend on which players comes back and which players transfers in. Players like JJ Starling, Kyle Cuff, Chance Westry, Taylor Lucas, and Elijah Moore, who are all solid guards will be eligible for 25-26 season… We know that likelihood of all players coming back for 25-26 season is less than 1%. We also know that there will be some decent proven players who will end up transferring to Syracuse as well…
Taylor only has this season left but the others as u mentioned are all eligible. I think if JJ has a big year he could move onto pro leagues. Everyone else could easily be back which would create a good problem
😄😄
😁
Him or bell depending on who gets off to a better shooting start
