Welcome Back
Seth Davis returns (!) to make a questionable call regarding Syracuse's future.Syracuse's success this season hardly depends on whether Edelin is available. The Orange made it to the Sweet 16 last year without him, and with jet-quick freshman Josh Wright ready to take over at the point, the team will hit the ground running when practice begins in a couple of weeks. Edelin will be allowed to practice with the team while he's sitting out, but by the time he's eligible he may find it hard to crack the starting lineup.
Wright was a heralded recruit, but to suggest he can step in and run a Top 10 team right away is more than a little presumptuous. I expect Syracuse to win – and win often – this season. But without Edelin, I wouldn’t bet on finding the ‘Cuse in St. Louis.
