Why do I smile whenever Syracuse has a problem ?

Is it Quentin or CeeLo?

I'm well aware that QH from the outside has never seemed that likeable, but he was doing good things with that program. He was building something that look to have staying power (see Jeff Walz-Louisville)

He can say they're not in panic mode because he has to but the public perception will say otherwise. His ability to recruit will be compromised and before you know it the cupboards are bare. If he losses Cardoso to the Evil Empire he will be public enemy #1 for those who hate the Empire, and we all know what a rabid group that can be!

I suspect there is more to this story than just a coaching issue. While I have never liked Coach Q, he had built a Top 20 team for the next 3-4 years. Likely multiple issues caused this many transfers.

Q pays no rent.

SU played in the National Championship game in 2016. Unfortunately for them ,they had to play UConn. If they had played a coach that didn’t know how to game plan them so well, they might have won.

Very true, that was a great UConn team with 3 AA!

 

[CTrefugee]

Was he coach for the "if we can't win, then let's beat them up" UCONN game or was that before his time. I recall that the women were so mad, when Geno wanted to pull them at garbage time, they wanted to stay in and gave the cuse a major ass whuppin'.

Wonder what the AD is thinking at Syracuse right now? Certainly not a good look.

He's probably trying to figure out how to save his own job

Wait? She’s going to Tennessee now?

Is it possible that the AD position is in jeopardy..or coach Q position...worst yet both positions?

 

[UcMiami]

Really, until Cardoso entered the portal I didn't think anything much of the transfers:
1 was a walk on graduate
4 were graduates
4 had been suspended from the team
2 were getting small minutes on a 15 person team
So that doesn't really ring alarm bells. Not ideal but with a big recruiting class coming in not a big deal.

Cardoso entering the portal is another level - star player, freshman, skills and size you build a team around. Can't just shrug that off. You are left with a total rebuild from scratch with for now 3 returning players.

It may simply be an avalanche - one snowball leads to two, and suddenly the whole mountain is falling.

SU has problems with WCBB, Football, Men's lacrosse and Men's basketball so I would think the AD has some explaining to do

It's called The Hops Spot.

A friend of mine works evening shift at St Joe’s and pre-COVID went here lots after work with coworkers. Now that I know a fellow Husky fan is one of the owners, I will have to start going myself.

Being a non-Syracuse native, my only opinion of Q is based off some games I’ve been to. He seemed like a likable person from the sidelines, but just not that great of a coach.

Syracuse burns while Quentin fiddles.

Because Karma is a beautiful thing.

I'm still upset about game we lost up there 25 years ago at Manley Field House

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Has Q made any statement since Kamilla Cardoso hit the portal?

My issue with this guy is almost exclusively a result of him refusing a "homecoming date" for Breanna Stewart that wound up at Cornell, instead of 20-25K there was a sellout at less than 2000.. Shameful him shutting that game out of the Dome

 

[noirwestern]

I have no opinion of him but do know that there's sure been some good players step onto their court. Good people, young women with a dream, no different than any other school. He does his,'eccentric' thing and they do their best. Nothing wrong with that.

Agree 100%. Down right childish, immature and unprofessional. You don't get a recruit so let's show her another reason she made a correct choice to NOT play for you.

I have another institution in mind this also applies to.

I guess we’re done talking basketball, huh?
