    The measurables on these recruits are astonishing compared to years past. If big guys beat up little guys Cuse not ever getting beat up again

    Class of 2024 ATH Malachi James (NJ) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (2/7/24)

    Odd to play slow guys as sweeper... But yeah speed kills especially in sports/positions not height dependant

    Class of 2024 ATH Malachi James (NJ) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (2/7/24)

    Damp track too. That's the best track running form I've seen from any of our current speedster recruits. Clean with no wasted motion

    #1 is a soccer player, and a pretty good one. Committed to Penn State

    Sam Holland "Orange Nation" 4-17-24

    Semantics really. I never said "mass exodus" but if another 10 players move on that's not insignificant either being ~12% of our total scholarship allocation. I'm so glad we got this hire right. Can you imagine if we hadn't gotten Coach Fran? No Barron, Wax, Duce, etc staying or returning plus...

    Sam Holland "Orange Nation" 4-17-24

    2 deep + kickers is only 46 scholarships. Lot of wiggle room beyond that for any players who would benefit from looking elsewhere if they desire more playing time and/or better system fits. The Coach Fran way is not for everyone and if some aren't built for it hopefully they find better fits...

    Sam Holland "Orange Nation" 4-17-24

    I gleaned more in that regard from the Villari interview. Extremely interesting to hear him discuss the players mindsets prior to the bowl game with at least 20 players already knowing they were looking for new homes. Would presume will be more leaving after Spring game and some already well aware.

    I love the way this guy thinks

    Love how seriously we're all reading into this random hero who has Clemson firing Dabo after this year...

    Class of 2020 CB Clarence Lewis (NJ) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (4/16/24)

    I looked it up as well as was curious Bruce's totals .. neither doing bad for themselves for sure. But yeah 8 mile reference, "Papa Doc" was the main antagonist of the story... And his real name is Clarence.

    Class of 2024 DB Ibn McDaniels (NJ) COMMITTED / SIGNED NLI TO SYRACUSE (1/13/24)

    He's a strong dude... He's got some wasted motion and still just powers through. He runs like a football player vs track star so speed should translate to pads very well.

    I just subscribed to No destination on YouTube today. Excellent content thus far, listened to McCord and Villari interviews with Illoa and Cruz on deck

    Class of 2020 CB Clarence Lewis (NJ) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (4/16/24)

    Caveat to said guidelines if 00 is allowed. Also, out of respect, I think 44 should be excluded but yeah 0-43 and 45-99 for sure

    Class of 2020 CB Clarence Lewis (NJ) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (4/16/24)

    Believe there is a Mater Dei in just about every state. Parochial schools recruit and they historically are the best of the best at it

    Class of 2020 CB Clarence Lewis (NJ) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (4/16/24)

    At no point in any of my ramblings have I claimed any semblance of logic mind you... Buuuut Clarence went to Mater Dei... That's a private school. Also no intel on if he lives at home with both parents or of his parents do or do not have a real great marriage. But yeah since early 2000s...

    Class of 2020 DE Dayon Hayes (PA) Portal from Pitt to Colorado

    Fair enough but when you're one of 27 schools offering I'm not sure how rigid you get to be to leverage terms because someone else will give the deal if you don't.

    Class of 2020 DE Dayon Hayes (PA) Portal from Pitt to Colorado

    See I wonder how loosely these NIL deals are written though. Since it's just a work around to pay but not pay players they probably aren't air tight deals by any stretch. Was thinking this Re: the USC DT that's back in the portal BUT what is keeping players from grabbing big NIL bags and then...

    Class of 2026 LB Izayia Williams (FL) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (4/15/24)

    Looks like a low 11s kid thus far. He's quick out of the blocks but tops out half way and "holds on" through the finish. He'll go sub 11 if he speeds up his turnover and/or lengthens his stride a bit in the second 50 meters. He looks like a linebacker to me and with our S & C will probably be...

    Class of 2025 OT Kardiear Shepherd (NY) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (4/15/24)

    Giants or Track Speed for a majority of this class. This gentleman is or 4th OL commit and they go 6'8, 6'7, 6'6, and 6'7 respectively. Our QBs may need a step stool to see over.

    Class of 2020 DL Isaiah Raikes (NJ) Portal from USC to Auburn

    Would be hilarious if he went to USC just long enough to grab an NIL bag before heading where he wanted to play all along.

    Class of 2025 RB Malachi Coleman (VA) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (4/3/24)

    Building a core team with size and strength in trenches and speeeeeed everywhere else as a base and then supplementing with elite talent transfers to fill whatever roster holes exist perhaps?

    Only played last season at Lasalle in the Philadelphia Catholic League, was on a BAD Chestnut Hill Academy team in something called the "Inter-Academic Conference" prior. He is/was "late" arrival to the recruiting game and someone you'd have only known about if you have solid connections. Was...

    2024 Spring Practice

    It's fun for some to **** on the prior regime as means to quantify how much better (we hope) we currently have it it seems. End game, Dino's regime can be summed up by lack of depth dictating compromises across many facets. The no huddle obviously went away in pretty short order but equally I...

    2024 Spring Practice

    A lot of folks forgetting/unaware the complexity of the RB position beyond simply carrying the ball. Think Fran alluded to as much in when asked as well... The frosh are going to have to learn to block in pass pro and run routes consistently before the coaches trust them with any extended burn...

    Love that each location has varied tap, canned, and food options. Glad to somebody making Barleywine's as well, I realize they're not profit margin monsters but hate to see the style seemingly dying off. Will have to try and make it to both locations Spring game weekend if there's time.

    Class of 2025 OL/DL Jaylen Pray (NY/CT) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (3/25/24)

    4 TE set and throw 50:50 jump balls the the sidelines for 6'7 giants vs 5'10 corners perhaps? Realistically likely athletic OT ala Matthew Bergeron. Worse things to have than OT's with quick footwork for sure

    Class of 2025 OL/DL Jaylen Pray (NY/CT) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (3/25/24)

    Antonio Gates 2.0 perhaps? UGA had a massive tight end they used to pretty good effect while Fran was there

    Spring roster is up

    You're not wrong with any of this, reality of our place in current CFB pecking order is we're not a place a starting level QB would be willing to sit a year. Current roster gap there is because we lost our QB2 to Stanford after all.
