Ooof. Are you and Rocket related? For heaven’s sake, when has anyone claimed Fland guarantees a title?

I do guarantee that if you reread earlier posts, it will make that abundantly clear.

Guess you need to re read my post, I didn’t say a National Title, I said advance in the tournament. My Duke reference was relative to their talent.p

I think you need to re read posts, LJSA stated it as did SJU will rock etc.

I think Boogie makes us national champs. There's no way staff doesn't try.

Whether Boogie holds us in the same low regard as he did a year ago is another story. But there's absolutely no way we don't try. Don't think there's any way Jackson

"I THINK Boogie makes us national champs" is a guarantee?

There is something I also think: Deep down, you don't want Boogie because it will be nearly impossible for you to complain.

First of all show me where I even said National Championship? I’ll wait as well, My Duke reference was relative to their talent level. I said advancing in the tournament. You should re read a post before you decide to challenge it.

But since you asked, LJSA stated it as did SJU Willrock etc. . And while you technically just said “our chances will increase” you implied it. 😎👍

You stated the following, and I quote: “To hear posters make absurd statements that one player will bring a championship is sillier than my name.”

Not one poster here has ever said Boogie gets us a national championship. All anyone has ever said is he helps put us over the top and makes us a preseason favorite to potentially cut down the nets. Saying “our chances increase” is not the same as guaranteeing it. Your posts recently have been more absurd than usual, maybe take a day off.

I guess I’m reading different posts then you but what LJSA stared and SJU will rock has said clearly implies that but we all know what your post is all about and unfortunately has nothing to do with the topic.

What I can say is that I am more then satisfied with the talent brought in to date as I’m sure coach Pitino is as well.

I capitalized, bolded, and underlined the word "think" to show you that claiming I made a guarantee is total horseshit. I'm not sure what more I can do.

Leave my son out of this ! 😉

Weren't you the Nostradamus who said "Fland guarantees SJU is placed squarely as one of the top 2-3 teams favored to win it all."

Mamma Mia......you have them in the CHAMPIONSHIP game! If I were superstitious instead of stupendous, I would think you are giving us the MAL'OCCHIO!🤘

What does having them as one of the two or three top teams favored to win it all have to do with anything. I could argue that they are ranked #3 at this moment. That automatically makes them one of the top three favorites.

Same thing. There are zero guarantees Fland even gets them in the tournament if you want to play that game. What if he gets hurt.

I guarantee this hamster on the wheel discussion is going nowhere.
 
I want him to come back to college so we can get more of this! Love it! Either way, the kid is going to land on his feet in the NBA or back in college making big $$$. Kudos to another NY kid who hopefully makes it big.
 
Of course no player today can guarantee you a national championship. Duke lost a close game in the Final Four, that doesn’t make their season a failure and having Cooper Flagg almost definitely helped get them that far.

Also a lot of people are saying team chemistry matters which of course it does but who can guarantee we will have better team chemistry with or without Boogie Fland. I am not expecting to win the national championship next season. If we do great. I would gladly take Fland because I think he is a good player that will get better.
 
Rocket said:
I am simply stating that we should temper our expectations based upon ONE PLAYER....especially a guard not projected in the first round of the NBA draft to WIN IT ALL!
Hence ...... regardless of MSG attendance, it is team effort that wins titles.
See our last game of the season as an example.

Frankly, expectations should be tempered period. Sanon and Jackson had good freshman years, not great; in 52 minutes of court time per game between the two of then they combined for a little over 2 assists a game. Hopkins last full year at Providence, 22-23, he averaged a bit over 2 assists in 35 minutes a game.

Objection, relevance.

Not one person — reasonable or otherwise — thinks any combination of players guarantees anything. Why even bring it up then?

The better team doesn’t always win a seven-game series let alone a one-
game elimination tournament.

All you can do is assemble the best roster on paper and hope for good luck and chemistry.

Complaining about adding Boogie would be like an irritated Logen asking “who is going to clean all those damn rooms” after winning a mansion in a raffle.

You can try and ping me all you want but I realized very quickly your utter sports ignorance when you went into your “Jenkins act” years ago with me insisting Brett Baty was a sure fire future NL batting champ.
 
I GUARANTEE I'm going to lose my mind reading all this. So much action in this thread today that silly me thought he was committing.

Any player of his caliber makes us a better team on paper. Not one player guarantees anything. Most think we are a better team with him on the roster, which makes perfect sense. Right now ESPN has us as preseason number 3 and there are only 2 numbers better than 3....

Good end to the thread until some real news is shared

That's the difference between you and me, I'm never satisfied.

Yeah, it's ok for the blue bloods to get as many top players as possible, but ohhh God forbid SJU does the same, who do they think they are, right.

Well I hope SJU get Boogie, and to whoever doesn't like it, well that's to freaking bad.

Damn wish I had 20billion, I'd give Rick 100million and tell him to get 15 stars on this team, let the complainers complain.

The more, the merrier baby.
