Brent Axe and Chris Carlson react to JJ Starling and Donnie Freeman's return to SU basketball on a live episode of Syracuse Sports. 

Donnie and JJ were simply the two players SU could not afford to lose. 

Chris and Brent discuss how Freeman and Starling's return gives Syracuse head coach Adrian Autry an important foundation of talent and experience to build off along with incoming recruits Kiyan Anthony, Sadiq White, Luke Fennell and Aaron Womack. 

They also look at what Syracuse needs to target in the transfer portal and if they have the resources and cache to do it. 

Brent and Chris also got plenty of feedback and answered great questions from Syracuse Sports Insiders!
