Okogie 3rd team. Lammers 1st team all defense.
Yea, I prefer someone his own team: Devon Hall.Kyle Guy on the first team is interesting. I had him as HM.
Interesting comparison. I'd go Okogie too, but I'm not going to say "far superior".
For a better comparison, I would like to see Battle in an offense (sic). I'd also like to see him not have to be option 1, 3, 5, and 7 while being shadowed/doubled for 40 min a game. There's a reason his % came down this year.
Battle was heavily leaning an NBA jump coming into this year, but it'd be a mistake now.
And selfishly I want to see him with a big guy who can do something a la Darius Bazley.

Why don't you just admit that you are a Tech fan for football and a Cuse fan for basketball? Nobody would think any less of you.
I admit I am a Tech fan for football and a Cuse fan for basketball. I also admit I am a Cuse fan for football and a Tech fan for basketball. I'll also admit that since GT basketball was dead in the water weeks ago, I've been much more into Syracuse's chances at a postseason.Surprise!!!!
When given a comparison between a Tech player and a Cuse player, you step up to defend the Cuse kid, giving passing credit to Josh.

To be clear, I grew up in a gator-hater FSU home. My older brother graduated from FSU. While I follow FSU, I don't feel the need to make a lot of defensive posts for FSU on our
Tech forum. ... I'm a Tech fan not a NOLEjacket.
Again, I appreciate your coverage and contribution to the football forum.

Apologies if the post seemed like a slight to Okogie. I thought by saying I'd take Okogie that I wouldn't have to expand further as folks here know Okogie's strengths and weaknesses. Conversely, I assume most have no clue about 'Cuse outside of 40 minutes at McCamish, or by looking at a final score, or when someone who watches a ton of basketball e.g., @Peacone36 offers a comment.
Since you seem hurt, I will offer why I think Okogie is the better player. He is more athletic, quicker, better in transition, and I think better at creating for others. He has the benefit of playing with two big men who make his life easier, too, which was the point of my last post where I hedged my opinion. Does this comment do something for you?
I enjoy mixing it up re: 'Cuse and believe I've generally limited it to 1) when someone else brings it up, 2) ACC discussion, or 3) when GT is playing Syracuse. If you'd like evidence of posts I did not respond to re: slights to Syracuse, feel free to go back and look at several of yours re: ND winning at 'Cuse earlier this year.
Re: GT basketball fandom... I watched every second of every GT game this year. Did you? I told my wife last year to change out of a Syracuse shirt for a GT shirt for the 'Cuse/GT game, while I was in the press box and my 'Cuse-only family went orange. I went to every GT home game while in school. I wore GT gear to the Carrier Dome for Bosh vs. Melo in '02. I am actively promoting GT basketball thru the local alumni network. We are going to have Mario West speak at an event this summer because CJP is unavailable. All are invited. But I'm guessing you won't join since you're a Nole fan

I'm not cool with how many folks are jumping on @AE 87 here.
@CuseJacket has just created the AEkg unholy alliance ...
