Time to move on, Albany is the right choice.  Need the scholarship for hopefully better players.  Good luck young man.

I don't know if I agree with this...We have 3 scholarships open (Jamal, Aidoo and Koby). That's with assuming that NO one else leaves which seems improbable. There is more than enough room for a guy like Symir on the roster this upcoming year.

Can not hit an open 3 as his shot is very flat.  has no jumper, really is not that quick, and can not jump at all.  Am I missing something?  As a teammate he was great.
Yes, he will improve, but can you over recruit him, I say yes.  Get Bates and he starts right away, and if Mitchell comes, he probably is better than Symir.

Agreed. Hope he can resurrect his career at a smaller program with less pressure. 2 years of pretty much nothing doesn't give me enough optimism. Great guy and hard worker deserves some playing time and confidence building with a new program.

Completely agree

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

I'm fine if Symir stays and I'm fine if he goes.  He hasn't shown a ton in two years, so it wouldn't be a huge loss.

If he stays, he can at least provide depth.  Remembering the year Diener got injured and Joe Chapman, Dameon Mason, and point center Marcus Jackson had to run the offense, you can never have too many PGs.

I would be quite happy if Symir changed his mind and would rather play for Coach Smart.

In other words he need to make the Smart decision

That 47 point loss at L'ville on national tv was a horror film.

[JakeBarnes]

Odd he still has the MU photo on his twitter

He no longer has the MU photo as his twitter photo.

[Galway Eagle]

He no longer has the MU photo as his twitter photo.

Oh I checked yesterday and it was up. Guessing that's an indicator

[Skip Intro]

I think I read somewhere that his goal is more playing time, so going elsewhere just makes sense.  He was a role player for two years, and you can't really blame guys for wanting to be something more than a role player their entire collegiate career.

Honestly, Albany seems like a good fit for him on a lot of levels. I think he'd have a role on the team if he stayed, but I don't blame Sy for looking elsewhere. Nothing but well wishes for him from me.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Symir to Syracuse.

Good luck, Sy.

[Galway Eagle]

Symir to Syracuse.

Good luck, Sy.

Wow. I can't be the only one who's surprised they offered him

[Oldgym]

Wow. I can't be the only one who's surprised they offered him

Definitely surprised.

[BCHoopster]

He will barely play there as well.  Close to home, good choice.

[Golden Avalanche]

Cuse may lose a few guys in the coming week to 10 days.

[mileskishnish72]

If Shaka wants him back, I would be happy to welcome him back.

For what we've seen from Sy, if Shaka wants him back, I'm worried about our new coaching hire.

[ATL MU Warrior]

Good for him.  Best of luck there.

[lawdog77]

Disagree. He has some length as a PG, so he will fit in well in their zone D. He can run their offense, and watch his shooting touch get better (with some good coaching).

[Clam Crowder]

Did Syracuse offer him initially? I wish the best for Sy-Seemed like a great guy and a team favorite-He was a Wojo/Killings guy-the writing was on the wall as it probably is with a few others.

Just a very odd move for Cuse...I dont see how his performance at MU would have led them to offer him if they did not have enough interest to offer prior to MU....If its his dream to play for Cuse I am guessing they didnt offer initially?

247 shows an offer. Maybe they got a higher rated PG or something?

[MUCam]

Great for him. I hope he does well. If you saw his Twitter thread, which I still cannot believe I did, I'm not surprised at all. Very pro-Syracuse.

I think people here are too hard on him given the circumstances he was in. I don't think we've seen the best of him yet.

Apparently Shaka and Boeheim see more in him than a sizeable portion of the MU Scoop community. Hmmm....

I would have been happy to have him back and I wish him the best going forward.

[Pakuni]

Clearly Jim Boeheim and Shaka Smart lack some Scoopers' keen eye for talent.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Wow. I can't be the only one who's surprised they offered him

You are not.
