We. Are. Boned. My god, I thought we would be alright, and frankly I was not convinced that all three of Jonny Flynn, Eric Devendorf, and Paul Harris. Well it looks as though Devendorf and Flynn are or are going to sign with an agent. And Harris has yet to decide. But let’s face it, Harris is the weakest player of those three. And until today, Flynn was looking like he was coming back. Apparently not the case, as he is expected to sign with Agent Leon Rose, who represents LeBron James. James openly lobbied him to go pro and sign with Rose. Shady. So yeah, we just went from a top 5, legitimate National Championship contender, to a barely top 25 team. Outstanding. A Lax Weekly article should be published sometime tomorrow. Right now, I’ll think of Marrone working the football players through drills and lacrosse being ranked #3 to feel alright.
PS - Do you also think we are boned?

Decidedly, yes we are boned. After the BET and the sweet 16, I thought next year would be close to 2002-2003. Not so. Bummer.
Evidently coach and players aren't on the same page: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090414/ap_on_sp_co_ne/bkc_syracuse_nba_draft
