Syracuse Basketball may have figured out NIL

Dino Babers Depth Comments Sound Like More Excuses
On Monday, at his weekly press conference, Syracuse head coach Dino Babers was asked about how he and his team are handling injuries to the program, with a number of guys missing significant time or out for the season six games into the year. Normally a guy who keeps things close to the vest, Babers…

New York State Passes NIL Law
The NCAA in the age of NIL can be best compared to the Wild West. There are laws, but they aren’t enforced except in select circumstances with miniscule punishments, meaning that, for all intents and purposes, everyone can essentially do whatever they want. The main rule surrounding NIL is that the schools themselves can’t facilitate…

Jesse Edwards Makes His Choice and Spills The Beans At The Same Time
Country roads have taken Jesse Edwards home to West Virginia. After four seasons playing under the Jim Boeheim, the Flying Dutchman will now suit up for another legendary coach in Bob Huggins.

What On Earth Does Syracuse’s NIL Future Look Like?
The past 24+ hours have been nothing short of gruesome for SU Athletics. After Jesse Edwards’ intentions to test the transfer portal waters were made public, a bombshell was dropped regarding Adam Weitsman.

Adrian Autry’s First Test
Over the past 48 hours dating back to Monday night, Syracuse has gotten not one, but two uppercuts to the jaw. First, Jesse Edwards entered the transfer portal after failing to come up with an NIL agreement with the university (complicated by the fact that he’s an international player). Then, Tuesday produced the news that…

What Can Will Hicks Do for Syracuse Football?
Syracuse football announced on Friday that longtime strength and conditioning coach Will Hicks is being brought back to serve as SU’s Director of Player Engagement.

The End is Going to be Ugly for Jim Boeheim
A couple of months ago, we at The Fizz wrote a piece about how the end was near for Jim Boeheim, and how it wasn’t going to be pretty. Well, since then, it’s gone from not pretty to ugly, as Syracuse has lost back-to-back games by 18+ points for the first time since 1968, 55…

What Does the Rest of the Country Think About Jim Boeheim Now?
Jim Boeheim has always been an interesting figure in the spectrum that is college basketball. Never been as successful in the postseason over the last 20 years as his peers Coach K and Roy Williams, but he is the second-winningest head coach of all time for a reason. Compared to other coaches like Jay Wright,…

Social Media Reacts to ESPN’s Explosive Jim Boeheim Interview
Syracuse beat Boston College yesterday in what felt like another run-of-the-mill SU-BC game. A little close, but the Orange eventually pulled away. Ho hum. While most of us were sound asleep last night (or watching St. Mary’s beat Gonzaga), ESPN college sports scoop king Pete Thamel got exclusive access to Jim Boeheim. And let’s just…

Elijah Moore Would Get the SU Recruiting Ball Rolling Again
It’s been well chronicled how Syracuse has struggled to recruit with NIL and the transfer portal now being a major part of college basketball. 2022’s six-man recruiting class (seven if you include transfer Mounir Hima), will likely be its largest for a while. But, even though the Orange have had small classes in recent memory…

Could ‘24 5-Star Elliot Cadeau Become SU’s First “NIL Recruit”?
In the midst of all the talk about what Syracuse football could pull off Thursday and what all SU men’s basketball is doing wrong, it’s easy to forget that the recruiting cycle never sleeps – particularly for Jim Boeheim and company. Though his team is on a holiday break, ‘Cuse hoops had its world shaken…

How Does Syracuse’s 5-4 Start Impact its Recruiting?
SU is coming off a massive blowout win over Oakland on Tuesday night, where the Orange took down the Golden Grizzlies 95-66. There were a lot of positives to take away, and some negatives, but one main thing that comes to mind is that everyone comes to the same conclusions after every game. It’s an…

Syracuse Set To Step Up NIL Game With First-Ever “Collective”
Three months ago, Syracuse’s NIL shortcomings flashed across the pan as a short-lived topic of concern. Headlines made by other ACC players’ earnings through name-image-likeness opportunities forced SU Athletic Director John Wildhack to answer questions about what his teams were doing with regards to new NIL chances. At the time, Wildhack didn’t offer many specifics…

Does Syracuse Have An NIL Problem?
In the whirlwind world of college athletics, Syracuse sports teams have remained somewhat immune from the fast-changing, parity-heavy pace that has defined NCAA athletics during the 21st century. The school‚Äôs three ‚Äòrevenue‚Äô sports – football, men‚Äôs basketball, and men‚Äôs lacrosse – have all played in the same building since 1980. Syracuse men‚Äôs basketball has had…

Kamari Lands’ Decommitment is a New Symptom of The NIL Era
Even those of you distracted by Syracuse‚Äôs confounding quarterback controversy couldn‚Äôt have missed what befell the Orange a little over a week ago. 4-star forward prospect Kamari Lands, perhaps the crowning jewel of Jim Boeheim‚Äôs 2022 recruiting class, decommitted from Syracuse after a four-month marriage. Now the entire structure of the class – filled with…

Is LSU Picking Up Steam for Elite Prospect Chance Westry?

The NIL Dominoes Have Fallen, and It Benefits Syracuse
The time has passed where players must decide between returning to college or staying in the 2021 NBA draft. Its results were very interesting. Syracuse transfer Quincy Guerrier took his name out of the running a couple weeks ago, followed by big man Kofi Cockburn and plenty of other names. But the few that stood…

What Will NIL Look Like for SU Athletics?
