Good, so we'll never hear about him again.

Good, so we'll never hear about him again.

Only if you don't get ESPN, ABC, and CBS...Syracuse is a very high profile program that is on TV often and gets plenty of publicity.

[Cydkar]

Easy to avoid them though.

Great way to get to the NBA by playing zone defense.

Yeah, Syracuse NEVER sends players to the NBA.....

[cycloneryan]

I'm glad the whole thing is over and we can start talking about the players that actually want to be in Ames and contribute as Cyclones.

[TheHelgo]

who even cares anymore? he's a punk who screwed us over - good riddance.

Yeah, Syracuse NEVER sends players to the NBA.....

Problem i have with this is "He would have been in the NBA if he had stayed at ISU"!!!!

Remember the NBA puts more into Potential then actual performance - thats why there are so many more busts in basketball then in football - try this from the 2003 draft....

Darko Milicic - #2 overall (bust)
Chris Kaman - #6 overall (bust)
Michael Sweetney - #9 overall (bust)
Jarvis Hayes - #10 (bust)
Michael Pietrus - #11 (bust)
Marcus Banks - #13 (bust)
Reece Gaines - #15 (bust)
Troy Bell - #16 (bust)
Zarko Cabarkapa - #17 (bust)
Zoran Planinic - #22 (bust)
Carlos Delfino - #25 (bust)
Ndudi Ebi - #26 (bust)

Lets look at the last 3 players taken in 2003 first round - Kendrick Perkins, Leandrinho Barbosa, Josh Howard.

Regardless of what he accomplished at Iowa State, the NBA will evaluate his tape and then hold workouts and IMO they put very little in college records and stats because they realize at the NBA level the talent is so much higher across the board that no individual (unless your elite talent Kobe, Lebron, MJ) can single handedly sustain a team. If you think that Syracuse has put out that great of NBA talent - name one that accomplished more then a hill of beans - Chris Mullin, Bill Weddington, Pearl Washington, Hakim Warrick - no a lot going on there as far NBA headliners!!!! Before you say it, i will give you Dave Bing, ask todays players who dave bing is and i bet you get a great reaction!!!!

That's a location I don't recall seeing anyone list.

I posted awhile back that Syracuse was one of the 5 schools he was slated to take an official visit to. The others were Ohio State, Pittsburgh, West Virginia and Louisville.

Do you think the name Carmelo Anthony may ring a bell with today's players?
