Kadary Richmond Transferring

[8893]

The ship was on cruise control from Captain Calhoun when we won the championship.

You don’t win a national championship on cruise control.

Granted, the man wrecked the ship afterwards, but give him some credit for that NC. He did earn that.

I suppose. Although everything I said can be verified except the part about next season. Girard does stink. He did play in front of him. The team was far better with Richmond on the court, and Boeheim did regularly criticize Richmond's fitness and readiness. If you want to make Boeheim the hero here, your prerogative. The fact that he's one of three leaving thus far doesn't help your cause.

I don't know about you or anyone else on here, but if a kid is out of shape, I blame the coach. Some kids have an otherworldly work ethic and can play harder than most guys and deserve credit for it. But a baseline fitness level is up to your SnC program and practice intensity. Especially when you're playing a ZONE DEFENSE for --the most a kid is doing on that end is take 4 steps in either direction at a time.

Agreed, but I think the bigger issue was that Girard looked dumpy and slow this year so the idea that Boeheim was saying Richmond wasn't ready to go just sounded like an absurd justification for sitting the kid.

Maybe cruise control was a bad phrasing. Fully afloat? He was saying we won the title while sinking. I meant we were doing just fine and the sinking started way later. Fully operational? It was smooth sailing? Calm waters? Cruising at full speed? I dont know boats man. Cut me some slack lol.

I can’t believe this thread got to 12 pages. Kadary is a nice player who we should pursue has great vision, instincts but is limited in so many areas. He’s not a consistent shooter, he’s not a great defender, he’s not overly athletic, struggles at the rim. There was a reason he was coming off the bench for a mediocre Cuse team. Not the end of the world if we don’t land.

He’s a very good defender. And shouldn’t have been coming off the bench

Or he’s coming off the bench because the coach has ties to girard’s family ?

Not really though.

When you’re 6’5 at the top in a zone you always look good. Watch his HS tape he’s not a good defender. Defense was like his biggest knock coming out of HS.

Ws

So ignore his advanced defensive metrics in cbb, but judge him by how he defended in HS?

Is Jim Boeheim pointing a gun at your head? Should we call the police?

 

[Burnsbros23]

I love Richmond. I’d take him let the rest figure itself out.

 

[Umami Zen]

Have you seen both them play?

Just on tape

He was a really good defender in college but it doesn’t count because of high school. Bahaha.

Brutal even by your standards.

 

[Psolo12]

honestly wouldn't mind if he's okay being the backup for now.

Cholesterol Marial

 

[Inyatkin]

It occurs to me every so often that Boeheim has coached there longer than I've been alive, and I am not young

Cholesterol Marial

Forgot all about that. Wasn't it Cholesterol Mains, or something like that?

This is the hottest take you've had in a while. Bravo

All I remember is the Cholesterol. It's embedded in my brain forever.

 

[Ricker]

For the life of me I don't understand how Chol Marial has not had a Ralph Sampson college career and impact. He was an elite ranked 7'+ player at Cheshire Academy about 10 years ago, and played in the 4 team televised tournament that gave me my first look at Hamidou Diallo, Wenyan Gabriel, Alpha Diallo, Jordan Nwora, and a bunch of others. Marial dominated at both ends blocking shots, running the floor, shooting from deep, rebounding, scoring around the basket. Since that game Alpha Diallo played a year at Brewster, 4 years at Providence, and now another season has passed. All the other guys are on to the NBA or elsewhere, and Marial is at Maryland in 2021, doesn't get on the court, and is transferring to spend another year at college, He'll still be at college 7 years after that tournament!! What in the world happened?

 

[Kenny11]

I’m jumping into this late. Sorry for the casual question but have we reached out to Kadary since he announced that he’s going to transfer?
