Syracuse’s blowout loss to Duke is the final humiliation for a program limping to the finish line.
27/02/2022

Syracuse’s blowout loss to Duke is the final humiliation for a program limping to the finish line.

The season from hell walked right up to the Gates of Hades and asked the Devil to punch it in the face. The Devil, smiling in his red cape and holding that flaming pitchfork, obliged. He looks an awful lot like that Duke mascot, to be honest. Syracuse’s ever-collapsing ’21-’22 continued to spl...

Did Emoni Bates’ dad sink the best prep star of the decade?

Did Emoni Bates’ dad sink the best prep star of the decade?

There is no debate that Emoni Bates’ much-anticipated college career has been wildly underwhelming. The prep star with an SI cover story at just 15-years old is now just a bystander as Memphis has turned around its season without him. Bates has a supposed back issue that has kept him out of the li...

Syracuse commit Chris Bunch skyrockets up the rankings, insiders see a star in the making.

It’s hard to jump from a top 200 recruit to a top 100. It’s even harder to jump from unranked to top 60, but that’s exactly what has happened to Syracuse commit Chris Bunch. While this season has proven painful for plenty of SU fans, next year’s class provides the hope of renewed excellence....

Doug Gottlieb says Boeheim should retire and rivals recruit against “Daddy Ball.”

Doug Gottlieb says Boeheim should retire and rivals recruit against “Daddy Ball.”

This has gotten ugly for Syracuse hoops. The season is skidding off the road, and out of the NCAA Tournament. Syracuse fans have started grumbling about when Jim Boeheim might finally call it quits. And Doug Gottlieb says rivals are using Boeheim against him on the recruiting trail. In a Field of 68...

Why new WR coach Michael Johnson is a key addition to Syracuse Football. Recruiting and the NFL are a big part.

Why new WR coach Michael Johnson is a key addition to Syracuse Football. Recruiting and the NFL are a big part.

Tuesday morning CFB Insider Pete Thamel tweeted Syracuse had added FAU’s Michael Johnson to its coaching staff. Even though some may overlook the importance of a positional coach, Orange fans should pay attention to this. Johnson has experience as a hungry recruiter at bigger programs, and as an o...

Jackpot! How did SU Syracuse Football beat Alabama and others to 4-star Francois Nolton?

Jackpot! How did SU Syracuse Football beat Alabama and others to 4-star Francois Nolton?

It’s enough to make you refresh the page and make sure you’re not misreading the headline. “Syracuse beats Alabama for 4-star lineman Francois Norton.” That level of talent rarely comes through SU, but more than that, almost never beats powers like Alabama, LSU, Penn State and A&M to a recru...

The strange saga of former SU target Zion Cruz is the last great mystery of the Class of ‘22. Syracuse Orange

The strange saga of former SU target Zion Cruz is the last great mystery of the Class of ‘22. Syracuse Orange

Appropriately, Zion Cruz is the last great mystery for the Class of ’22. For months we’ve documented the many twists and turns of his recruitment. Syracuse was high on him early, and he seemed like the perfect Orange point guard. He’s a gritty floor general with the flare for the dramatic who ...

Claw Marks: Villanova runs away from Syracuse Orange in the 2nd half at MSG. What does the 5-4 start mean for the Orange?

Long range shooting and dominance on the glass were the ingredients in a Villanova win over Syracuse at MSG 67-53. All was well in the first half, as SU harassed the Wildcats into poor shooting and the Orange held a 29-26 lead at the break. But Nova went white hot in the second half, shooting […]

Will Syracuse Football ever dig out of the recruiting basement with Dino Babers?

Will Syracuse Football ever dig out of the recruiting basement with Dino Babers?

Syracuse announced Dino Babers is staying as coach for another year, and the news wasn’t all that surprising. Despite the depressing three-game skid to end the season, the Orange being 5-4 seemed to lock in Babers for ’22. The improvement from last season was obvious, and with a few minor stroke...

Anatomy of a Disaster: What went wrong for Syracuse Orange to get shocked by Colgate. Hint: a lot.

Anatomy of a Disaster: What went wrong for Syracuse Orange to get shocked by Colgate. Hint: a lot.

Fifty-four games. Fifty-nine freaking years. That’s how long the winning streak had been over Colgate. Last night, it went up in a puff of dust like LeBron James clapping at the scorer’s table. How could something like that happen, especially with one of the better teams Syracuse has seemingly h...

Blowout Babers. That’s the 10th time Syracuse Football has lost by 30+ points under Babers. Why is that?

Blowout Babers. That’s the 10th time Syracuse Football has lost by 30+ points under Babers. Why is that?

It was all ugly on Saturday for Syracuse. The Orange need just a single win over the last three weeks of the season, but the best chance perhaps to get a victory went up in smoke at Louisville 41-3. Malik Cunningham was a knife cutting through a solid SU defense, combining for 5 TDs on […]

Did Syracuse Orange go all in for the Class of ‘22 because it will be Boeheim’s finale?

Did Syracuse Orange go all in for the Class of ‘22 because it will be Boeheim’s finale?

The Class of ’22 is historic for Syracuse, not only in its size but also its national ranking. Jim Boeheim suggested it could be perhaps his best class ever, and its currently 14th overall and 4th in the ACC according to 247 Sports. Other places have them rated close to the top 10. Most of […]

Syracuse Football is projected to the first ever Fenway Bowl to take on UCF next month. UCF Football

At 5-4, Syracuse’s season has been a thousand times better than most could have imagined. Coming off the disastrous 1-win campaign last year, not much was expected of this year’s squad. Yet, with three games to go, the Orange are one win away from a likely bowl game. None of the three games will...

Can the highly touted Class of ‘22 bring an ACC Championship to Syracuse Orange?

Can the highly touted Class of ‘22 bring an ACC Championship to Syracuse Orange?

Chris Bunch is bring optimism to Syracuse hoops. The recent commit told Mike McAllister he believes the incoming talent is enough to win the ACC next year. “I think we can really be the best team in the ACC if I’m being perfectly honest. I never really believed in the blue bloods or all that [.....

On Sunday, 4-star Chance Westry chose Auburn. When in the process did Syracuse lose him? Syracuse Orange

Once upon a time Syracuse was a legitimate threat to land Chance Westry. The highly-touted 4-star prospect from Harrisburg, PA chose Auburn on Sunday, and the Orange seemed to be out of sight, out of mind. Westry is ranked 39th overall by 247Sports and 31st in the composite ranking. He becomes the 4...

With these three names in the Class of ‘22, Syracuse’s scouting in recruiting proves the vision is paying off.

With these three names in the Class of ‘22, Syracuse’s scouting in recruiting proves the vision is paying off.

Plenty of high school studs never pan out as college stars. Projecting how a 17 or 18-year-old will compete against his peers at the next level can be a crap shoot. Players need the right fit, and are adjusting to life away from home for the first time in many cases. (Although that is fading […]

Where does Syracuse’s vaunted class of 2022 rank after the Chris Bunch commitment?

Where does Syracuse’s vaunted class of 2022 rank after the Chris Bunch commitment?

Chris Bunch rounded out an amazing recruiting class for Syracuse when he committed on Thursday. The Orange now have elite talent at every position on the floor coming in next season (assuming they all sign their LOIs). With the addition of Bunch, Syracuse’s class is now a top 10 group. 247 Sports ...

Crystal ball prediction for Chris Bunch. He’ll decide at 5p ET today between Syracuse, Washington and Rutgers. Here’s our education guess: Syracuse Orange

In just a few hours 4-star wing Chris Bunch will choose between Syracuse, Washington and Rutgers. The Orange would round out an impressive Class of ’22 if Bunch joins. They already have a quartet of talent coming in, with the last open position in the starting five coming at SF. Point Quadir Copel...
