Cmon. This is just classless. Symir committed to Marquette and played his a*s off while representing the University well. No need to crap on a kid because you're salty he missed a few shots on the court. Be better.

Wish the young man well. I hope Jim Boeheim makes him something special.

Good for you Symir. Good luck with everything you do!

I must have missed out on his strengths, not sure he had any.

I thought he was a natural/creative passer and solid positional defender that used his length well. Good instincts in general. Wojo seemed to have him playing on edge/second guessing himself constantly, which is basically the worst possible mental state to have a PG playing in. Needs to work on his shot, if that comes around he will be a quality player at the top of the 2/3 zone.

A guy with 900+ career wins thinks otherwise...

Not a comment to you as much as the prior coach.

I hope him the best, he has 3 years to show me I was wrong. I have always said he is very good teammate and I am sure as a quality person.
Do well young man at Syracuse.

He’s already showed you you’re wrong you bum. You said he has no discernible strengths, as he commits to play on scholarship for a D1 university that regularly goes deep in March.

Go hate on 19 year old kids playing basketball for your entertainment elsewhere you weirdo.

If Symir turns out to be a player at Syracuse, it will be another example of Wojo being a horrible coach. I wish Symir the best and hope he is great.

A few?

Always puzzled at people acting so hurt/angry when a player gets criticized like they're a bunch of 5th grade girls.

Sy did well for himself. Transferred up, that's for sure.

Yes, I am a little annoyed/angry about BCs comment. It was completely uncalled for and honestly, reflects on him poorly.

However, as a Marquette fan it also reflects on our fanbase poorly. You realize that we actually want players to attend Marquette, yes?

The old adage holds true: if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

Or even better--rule #1: don't be an as*hole.

Both of the above seem to be a lost art.

I’m always puzzled when people cannot differentiate between criticism and negative cynicism.

Boeheim isn’t “wasting” a scholarship on someone as a favor. He must see some potential there. Just like Frank Martin who recruited him to transfer to SC despite seeing the same shooting statistics that you and BC see.

It’s fine to be critical of players. It’s pretty pathetic to crap on one who is on his way out just because he ended up a school that you (not you specifically, but you in general terms) thought based on your limited basketball knowledge he would never even be considered for less recruited to.

It is okay to admit you maybe aren’t as basketball savvy as a hall of fame basketball coach.

He was an AAU teammate of Buddy Boeheim's. So his dad probably knows full well what he is getting in Symir and how to play to his strengths.

Different years IIRC. Buddy played 17’s with City Rocks in 2017 (and I think some the year prior). Symir was with their 16’s that year.

+/- numbers for the past season.

Overall, Symir was second to Theo.
Based on minutes played, he led the team by a sizeable margin.

+/- per 40
TORRENCE 27 +3.5
JOHN 30 +1.7
McEWEN 24 +1.2
CAIN 13 +0.6
GARCIA 8 +0.4
CARTON -11 -0.5
LEWIS -10 -0.9
IGHODARO - 3 -3.2
ELLIOTT -55 -4.5
PEREZ -32 -11.4
AKANNO -27 -17.1

He must have more strengths than you because, while he is still in college, to the best of my knowledge he isn't on the Internet anonymously ripping on kids. Who does that?

Ah yes. The quote I saw said "same AAU program" which doesn't necessarily mean teammates. Thanks.

You're mistaken. Sy posts on CITYROCKSSCOOP all the time, and he's brutal on those U16s.

Who is the 5th grade girl in this situation...the college kid getting ripped on or the guy hiding behind his computer talking sh1t about a kid?

Always puzzled at people who rip on college kids anonymously on the Internet.
