FizzCast: Big East Overrated? DaJaun Coleman, 5 Keys to Spring Football

Busted brackets, SU’s #1 hoops target and what you’ve missed in Spring Football.

Whether you feel like moving on from SU basketball’s early exit or you’d like to mourn a little longer, you’ll find something you like in this week’s FizzCast.

The Fizz’s week-long¬†‚ÄúWhat Went Wrong‚Äù series garnered so much attention, D.A. and Conroy dropped by to discuss their posts about what doomed the Orange.

D.A.’s thoughts on the conference road was particularly controversial: People shouldn’t have had high tourney expectations for teams like Syracuse because the Big East was overrated, and the regular season conference wins the Orange picked up were overvalued. His formula for the Big East to prove that it’s worthy of being called “the SEC of college basketball” is simple.

“The conference came up small in big spots. Had the Big East had Pitt, Notre Dame, and UConn all get to the Elite Eight or Final Four, then it would have been validated.”

Meanwhile, Conroy bitterly attributes the early exit to the missing presence of an elite scorer.

‚ÄúThere is no player to carry that individual effort that Jim Boeheim requires to get a deep tournament team rolling. When you look at the last few years, he‚Äôs got a couple sweet 16‚Äôs under his belt and a National Championship. Aside from that, extremely disappointing – first round exits, NIT‚Äôs, second round exits. And the common denominator is this: there was not a true go-to scorer on any of those teams.‚Äù

The mood became more optimistic as we moved on to the future of SU hoops. Local star DaJuan Coleman recently led Jamesville-Dewitt to a Class A State Title, J-D’s fourth in a row, and took home tourney MVP honors. Though a number of schools besides Syracuse (namely Kentucky) are aggressively pursuing Coleman, Syracuse is the assumed front-runner because of proximity. Conroy raves about Coleman’s potential, and looks forward to him hopefully wearing Orange.

“Syracuse fans have seen a lot of raw, unpolished, big bodies recently. But the thing with DaJuan Coleman is that he’s already got the moves. He’s got a nice drop step, he can spin around in the lane, he’s got hook shots that he can finish both left and right, and 10 to 12 foot jumpers. I know you were hearing the same thing about Fab Melo, but the difference was that he hadn’t been playing ball that long. DaJuan Coleman was playing varsity basketball in 8th grade.”

Finally, as the FizzCast wrapped up, Kanell and Hoffman delivered the Five Things You Need To Know About Spring Football Practice If You’ve Only Been Paying Attention To Basketball:

  1. The roster is thinning out (injuries + suspension + leave of absence).
  2. Converted freshman wideout Dyshawn Davis is taking first-team reps at linebacker.
  3. Jarrod West, Adrian Flemming, and Jeremiah Kobena are becoming intriguing options at receiver.
  4. A veteran o-line (besides Macky McPherson) should be a strength.
  5. Doug Marrone has yet to see the depth chart separation he would like.

    One of the important factors to look at when choosing California personal injury
    lawyer is what kind of experience the lawyer has
    in injury law. If you are not working with a professional, the insurance company might offer you less
    compensation. Your injury lawyer can help you recover compensation not just for the injuries and discomfort,
    but in addition for all of the financial deficits that incurred as a result of your injury.

    Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!

    However bleaching dark or black hair isn’t very healthy,
    as it does generate a lot of damage to the hair strand’s natural state.
    Narrow headbands can be added to a hair-do where the hair is
    put up, whether in a ponytail or twist. Many women are sometimes impressed with the new shade of a friend or family member’s hairstyle.
    The Ombre color process is also great for clients who are too busy to come in every six weeks
    for a root touch up because maintenance is low. Clip on hair extensions are the most convenient and versatile to use since
    you yourself can just clip them on and off.

    Other female characters you might know of and wish to draw are Wonder Woman, Black
    Canary and Supergirl to the Justice league comics, Jean Gay, Storm and Rouge for that X-men Comics.
    If this it the case, and I suggest one does because, believe it or not,
    a 3d cartoon character creator is among the easiest circumstances to use.

    Black animals may look more vicious and much more daring than bolder colored
    ones and so they make great abstract wallpaper as well.
    Decide whereby the Dragon Ball Z time line your character will exist.
    In Internet anime and manga games you and also your girls may create

    The result is a medium degree of tyrosinase function, resulting
    in a medium degree of shading. Copper and honey-colored highlights make the hair look interesting and vibrant.
    This should be done long before the actual wedding day. The Ombre
    color process is also great for clients who are too
    busy to come in every six weeks for a root touch up because maintenance is low.
    Hair color shades that match Indian skin tone are different from
    those popular in west.
