Syracuse Basketball Lands Another Big Man In Portal
It’s safe to say Adrian Autry felt the pressure from the fans that Syracuse needed to be active in the transfer portal this summer. The NCAA Tournament hasn’t even wrapped up yet, and the Orange have made significant progress in rebuilding their roster. After landing UCLA big William Kyle III, Georgia Tech playmaker Naithan George…

Naithan George Could Be The Difference Maker For Syracuse
Throughout the first few weeks of the offseason, I’ve made it very clear what I think Adrian Autry’s priorities should be in the portal. This team needed another star guard to put next to JJ Starling to even have a chance to be decent next season. The chatter has been that the Orange finally has…

Fran Brown Jokes With NCAA Over Practice Denial
A few days after the NCAA denied joint practices and a scrimmage between Syracuse and Colorado, SU head coach Fran Brown spoke for the first time since the decision. His response to the NCAA was a humorous one. “We should have just told Coach Belichick and Bill O’Brien to come up with it,” said Brown.…

Syracuse Lands Nate Kingz From Oregon State
Syracuse basketball has finally made a splash in the transfer portal, landing Oregon State shooting guard Nate Kingz earlier today. The junior announced his commitment to the ‘Cuse on his Instagram this morning, which is big news for a ‘Cuse squad in dire need of some talent. Kingz, a 6’5” guard from Salem, Oregon, averaged…

SU Needs Another Star Guard. Could It Be Desmond Claude?
The first few weeks of the transfer portal being open have made it pretty clear how I think Adrian Autry and his staff need to attack it. I don’t think the Orange should put a lot of money towards a true center. I also think that this team desperately needs to focus on star power and…

Kiyan Anthony Continues To Shine On High School Circuit
We can sit here and complain all day long about what’s going on with Syracuse men’s basketball and who’s not a part of the program anymore. Transfer portal this, NIL that, we’ve got all summer to do that. Or, we can give our flowers to what IS coming to town this fall, in this case,…

Syracuse Shouldn’t Spend On A Center
If you think back to Adrian Autry’s preseason press conference, he laid out an outline of what he wanted his team to look like. In his second year, Autry envisioned a fast, athletic team that could shoot threes. When you look around the country, specifically in the SEC, that’s how most of the best teams…

Why William Kyle Will Be An Underrated Pickup for Syracuse
William Kyle, Syracuse’s first signing in the transfer portal from UCLA, may seem like an underwhelming pickup for the Orange, but he’s not.

Could Nate Kingz Be Syracuse’s Next Sharpshooter?
The last few years for Syracuse basketball have been very odd offensively compared to the end of the Boeheim era. Three-point shooting has been a big issue for the ‘Cuse. That issue has gotten infinitely worse three days into portal season. The team’s only semi-reliable shooters, Chris Bell, Elijah Moore, and Kyle Cuffe are all…

Why Are Syracuse Players Leaving?
In the past several days, Syracuse has seen the departures of Chris Bell, Elijah Moore, Kyle Cuffe Jr., and Chance Westry all of whom have entered the transfer portal. With the offseason just getting underway for the Orange and March Madness still ongoing, does this early turbulence stem from the results of this past SU…

Fran Brown’s NIL Outlook
Name, image, and likeness–better known as NIL–has changed the dynamic of college athletics over the past year or so. The ability for collegiate players to make money in a similar way to professional athletes in the NBA or NFL is a significant change that many players are fond of. Coaches have started to embrace it,…

Syracuse And Colorado Football Spring Game In The Works?
I know March Madness is in full swing (and all of our brackets are probably completely destroyed already,) but it’s never too early to start thinking about football. Spring practices for Fran Brown’s team kicked off this week, and we’re all waiting for the spring game that was announced for April 12th. But Fran Brown…

Can Syracuse Realistically Go Dancing Next Year?
With Syracuse out of the equation in March Madness for the fourth straight season, SU fans have already set their eyes towards next year’s team. The arrival of Kiyan Anthony, son of Carmelo, and Sadiq White are apparently supposed to turn the tides of the Orange in a matter of months. It’s understandable that Anthony…

Poll: Syracuse Is Not New York’s Basketball Team
It’s officially everyone’s favorite time of the year: March. Usually, around these parts (more specifically, the Empire State as a whole), the best Orange gear gets broken out in hopes of seeing SU go on a run and win the tournament. But in the past few years, that feeling has slowly faded. This marks the…

Is Chris Bell On His Way Out?
While the transfer portal doesn’t officially open until Monday, teams that didn’t make the postseason have already seen a mass exodus of players. We’ve already featured a player on Orange Fizz that the Orange should target. What about guys on the current roster who could be leaving? It seems like we may have gotten a…

Should JJ Starling Stay At Syracuse?
As someone whos loved college sports their entire life, this piece hurts me to write. JJ Starling was the perfect transfer to Syracuse. A five star from Central New York is a must get for the Orange. Jim Boeheim missed him, but Adrian Autry picked up his guy from the portal. Since then, Starling hasn’t…

Fizz Report Card: SU’s Season Comes To An End At The Hands Of SMU 70-53
ACC Basketball: DIn case you needed any more confirmation that the ACC just isn’t a good basketball conference, all you’d have to do is watch today’s games. The level of play is just so low. Offenses just aren’t high level in this conference right now. Compared to the SEC or Big 12, it’s like watching…

This NYC Point Guard Should Be SUs Top Transfer Target
I know, the season isn’t over yet. Syracuse almost beat SMU on the road last week. The Orange can absolutely win on a neutral floor. Last night SU played one of its best games of the season for times. But for other teams whos seasons are already over, players are entering the transfer portal. This…

The Most Frustrating Part Of Syracuse Basketball

Breaking Down Syracuse’s ACC Tournament Matchup
Well SU fans, it’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for. It was a tough road to get here, but Syracuse basketball is back in the ACC Tournament as the 14th seed of a possible 15. The fact that this team almost missed the tournament for the first time ever says a lot, but the…

SU’s Class of 2025 – The Biggest (and worst?) Ever
Last night was senior night inside the Dome. Syracuse honored a record nine players. Eight of them are out of college eligibility. Let’s take a look back at some of them and the impact that this group made on the ‘Cuse. For the largest graduating class in the team’s history, it’s a shockingly unnotable one.…

AD John Wildhack Confirms Autry Is Staying
All season long, Adrian Autry’s seat as head coach of Syracuse basketball has gotten hotter and hotter. The more late-game collapses and media conversations, the more SU fans’ anger continued to grow. Not only that, but many have also called for the sophomore coach’s job at the end of this season. It was a matter…

How Can Syracuse Basketball Still Believe?
To get very academic and quote Albert Einstein, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again yet expecting different results.” Well that seems to be the case for this current Syracuse basketball team. Over and over again, the Orange find new ways to lose basketball games. Last night, it was yet another blown…
