"I think it would be great for me to not be the focal point of this team because that's where I play my best basketball."

Quinnipiac transfer Amarri Monroe is eligible and ready to make an impact for Syracuse for @NunesMagician https://t.co/pGw6tkuXK2

@BrentAxeMedia Love Fran but it might be time. Wonder how long his contract is. Probably three or five years. Anyway, easy for a new AD to go with his own guy after this season if there’s only one or two years left. I wanted it to work but it’s not. Just not a great in-game coach

If you catch it, keep it. It’s typically a once in a lifetime occurrence to catch a foul ball or home run at a game and it’s cool to keep the ball and put it on display at your house. If you don’t catch it but still end up with it, give it to the nearest kid.

[Gina Muscato @GinaMuscato]

Normalize keeping the ball if you caught it fair & square ⚾️

It’s becoming clearer by the day that he’s the right person at the right time for the program. Syracuse might not have the talent to match up with some of the top ACC teams this year, but the kids he brought in have no quit. Really excited about Folefac developing into a great college player over the next three years. He’s the type of core player who can get the program back

Practicing some short roll combinations around the drum set and threw in a few triplets and stuff.

My dad - a former Air Force band drummer (see sweatshirt) - made sweet music today ringing the bell after finishing radiation.

Max Fried confirmed that he will start tomorrow’s ALDS Game 3. His plans will not change with a baby on the way.

“I've got a really supportive family that that understands that this is my job, and it's not going to affect what happens tomorrow.”
