Is anyone else afraid that Syracuse is even worse off than we all initially feared?!

The loss of Jonny Flynn may be settling in for some, but not me.

Do you guys realize how big of a loss this is?  Flynn - maybe even more so than 'Melo, Billy Owens and Pearl - is irreplacable.

He's that ultimate commodity in college basketball.  A living, breathing floor general who has the ball in his hands almost 75% of the time his team has possession.

Syracuse almost won it all the year that Pearl left early... Syracuse went 0-2 in the postseason in Owens' last year on The Hill... Heck, Melo gave us a title - what else did he have to accomplish?

But Flynn leaves the cupboard bare with no legit replacement on the horizon, just when the sky was the limit.

This will sting me for years - maybe until Syracuse sniffs the Final Four again.
