SEE YA IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP!

Well the Syracuse Raging Bullz (that's right, spelled with a "z") have announced the signings of their first four players and we couldn't be more excited! So what are we waiting for, let's meet these marquee names:

Louis McCullough, Forward- King Louis is Kevin Garnett's half-brother, and if he's half as good as KG, they might as well forgo playing the season and ship that Championship trophy directly to the Salt City! We don't have his official stats from his stints in the British or the Mexican leagues, but we're pretty sure he was dominant. Plus the South Carolina Heat wouldn't make just anyone their 2005 #1 pick now would they?



Dayshawn Wright, Forward- A local favorite, D-Dub played for Syracuse's Fowler High School, and then, after a year at Oak Hill Academy, ended up playing for S.U. We use the term "playing" loosely, as D-Dub got little p.t. in his lone season with the Orange. After being unable to cut it in the classroom, Wright then tried moving on to NAIA powerhouse Mountain State University. But even out in the ozarks, D-Dub wasn't able to make the grade. After abandoning the college game completely, he became the CBA's 2006 #1 overall pick for the Minot Skyrockets. Yes a CBA #1 pick is gonna play for our Raging Bullz! Dare I say, "Championship!"


Marlin Johnson, Forward- Johnson knows what it takes to play in the ABA, as he averaged a triple-single last season with the Buffalo Silverbacks. While in Buffalo, he got to play with former S.U. stud Kueth Duany, so I'm sure he has heard all about the Salt City hot spots and is rarin' to go! He was also the Silverbacks third leading three-point shooter. Sure he only shot eight balls from beyond the arc, but nevertheless, 37.5% ain't half bad! It's actually like 62.5% bad.

Jon "Save" Ferris, Forward- Ferris is another local fav, hailing from nearby Liverpool. Ferris put up some solid numbers for the Golden Griffins of Canisius few years back, which means he knows how to scrap and hustle. That's right! He comes to us from the MAAC, folks! He's no Darren Fenn, but he'll do. He'll do.

Sure they have know guards or centers yet, but I've got a good feeling about this Forward rotation. With this kind of talent assessment, the sky's the limit in the Salt City!
