Re: NCAA Basketball 23-24
Yeah, they aren't up to historic Syracuse levels yet, but Boeheim didn't leave him much (other than Mintz, who's quite good). The last two teams were pretty poor and clearly only built around the idea of getting the ball to his son(s). I hope Autry pans out, because the ACC's coaching talent pool ha...

Re: NCAA Basketball 23-24
Fortunately for Syracuse, it seems likes Red Autry has gotten off to a pretty good start. Not great, but solid (and better than last year under Boeheim).DSafetyGuy wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2024 7:21 pm Great guy, but a bad fit from the jump.

One of the stretches he has me do is very similar to that piriformis stretch. For the foam roller, how big in diameter do you use? I have a couple in the house that my son uses, and their actually not really soft (despite the "foam" name) and are fairly wide in diameter. Maybe 6-7 inches?
