Jonny Flynn says he'll return to Syracuse
Jonny Flynn is a bona fide NBA prospect, but he claims the big leagues will have to wait.
Flynn said he's returning for his junior year at Syracuse.
But is he?
"I'm coming back to Syracuse," Flynn, a point guard, told the Syracuse Post-Standard. "That's it. I'm coming back to Syracuse. Yeah. I'm coming back to Syracuse."
That sounds like great news for Orange fans. But let's see if the young man is singing the same tune if Syracuse makes the Final Four and he hears how great he is from scouts.
Syracuse coach
Jim Boeheim isn't even buying his star player is returning.
"I think it is foolish for the media to ask people questions like that," Boeheim told "On the Block" on ESPN radio 1260. "No one wants to answer that. Why would you ask that question when a kid is playing in the NCAA Tournament? You're going to get a get out of my way answer.
"Do you want me to be thinking about that or do you want me thinking about Oklahoma? I don't know if people think they are getting the first story. You are going to get an incomplete answer."
But if he keeps his word, Syracuse could return its top seven and become the team to beat for 2010.
