Could Maliq Brown Be The Starting Center?
Of the many question marks surrounding Syracuse’s roster, none may be bigger than that of the center position.

Syracuse’s Center of Conversation is Peter Carey
It’s apparent what Syracuse fans continue to vie for: Joe Girard to revert to his stellar play in high school, a recruiting class without a decomitment and a center who elicits a cascade of cheers. SU is best at going 0-for-3 on that wishlist, and can never find a way to fulfill the third. With…
