[QUOTE="CuseJacket, post: 396409, member: 274"] A few other random thoughts I started writing last night: 1) Mark down Frank Howard for 3 turnovers before the game starts. Only question is how many more. I could see Alvarado getting under him and under his skin if he were to full court man-to-man press. 2) The mysterious recruitment of Marek Dolezaj. Syracuse fans had no clue about him until he visited, too. Here's an article written a week ago about his recruitment, for the recruiting nerds: [SIZE=4][URL='http://www.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/index.ssf/2018/01/syracuses_pursuit_of_marek_dolezaj_an_unsolicited_email_face-time_a_dinner_in_pr.html']Syracuse's pursuit of Marek Dolezaj: An unsolicited email, FaceTime, dinner in Prague[/URL].
