So Long Jonny

Jonny Flynn's future plans are no longer up in the air, as Mr. Flynn has signed with an agent and will be playing in NBA next year.

He leaves Syracuse after two memorable years. The indefatigable Flynn was a starter the second he stepped on campus and played seemingly every minute of every SU game - including the most memorable 67 minute performance a in Syracuse history in the 6 OT win against Connecticut.

You can't fault Flynn for making the move -- you go to college to prepare for your career and most guys don't get seven figure offers after 4 years in school, much less two.

While the team will have a good amount of talent next year, from a fan's perspective the move hurts. Devendorf's scoring can be replaced - especially since he gave up more than his fair share of points on the defensive end, and there are other guys who can make up Paul Harris' defense and rebounding. What can't be replaced is Flynn's floor vision, leadership, athleticism and experience.

So unless something unexpected happens next year, like Brandon Triche being better than anyone expects, or Scoop Jardine suddenly transforming himself into a top notch point guard, we'll always wonder what would have happened ha Jonny stayed.....but at least it gives us a new series of things to debate and opine on all summer and fall - and that's half the fun of sports. Of course winning titles is even more fun, but there's not much we can do about that.

Good luck Jonny and thanks for 2 great years - we'll be pulling for you. As for LeBron James, he can suck my balls.
