Can't think of a better way to see what a young QB is made of, sure you are going to live with the ups and downs but after 4-5 games you know what you are working with as far as true potential, what needs to improve etc but you see a lot and get a pretty good idea if you have true star type...

We aren't starting a running QB either. I mean the true freshman with a couple months under his belt might be fine for 3-4 starts to close the year. For the life of me, I don't know why many are treating this year like we could make a 12-0 run or something. Schedule is "buttery soft" (shout...

Exactly. Amen to that !

Yeah that sounds great in theory but this is where the coaching/ scheming starts and the recruiting stops. Sooner or later it's time to play the kids you have, personally, if you are banking on that caliber of athlete at CB at this point even with Fran I don't see it happening but hey I would...

exactly... it's one more player for a special season and then it will be one more after that, like the old drunk at the bar.:)

Yeah the strength is the depth and when one goes down you aren't having to hide the replacements or deal with a HUGE drop off. and hey maybe there are no sure fire future NFL guys, I don't know but there is a P4 O line in there from spots 1-8 or so. That's what you need.

I like that idea

yep and now people are concerned that the D line can't stop the run. The additions at D line were celebrated a few months ago and plenty of hand wringing at O Line. O Line issues at this point seem to be being addressed and now the hand wringing has flipped back to finding D line dude that can...

yes sir and sometimes you just need to walk away from somebody who is looking for too big a buyout.

who are also from Rochester, would be a great fit but won't be easy

Agreed, would not be surprised if Syracuse gets the "last look" here. It's really up to the player of how much they want to play the game and whether they are negotiating in good faith or not or if they want to just go to where the highest bidder is at the end of a long drawn out process but I...

Sounds like Florida is really after him, have to figure their coach needs a really good season or will be looking for a new job after this season. This is life when competing for top talent, should be interesting. The thing is I don't think Fran is from the "take your visits" school of...

AD claimed he was the best defender in the league about 12 hours before that 4th quarter. He was spent in the 4th, bad on defense and no impact on offense took 1 shot and played the fool in the post game press conference Josh Hart played 48 minutes last night. He has been fantastic first 2...

I agree but you are the lone wolf in these parts

Agreed, people just want to complain about everything and the older you get everyone turns into Larry David. Hey I get it, I am not young anymore either but wait for the e-mail, go find your seats and pick them out. I am shocked at how high my donor ranking is for the fact that I don't feel...

It seems like Davis and LeBron run out of gas every game in the 4th quarter at this point. Game 1 watching Joker run right by LeBron for the dunk is great. AD and LeBron were great but it just seems like every game with Denver that can't close it out. Denver has a lot to do with it, I get it...

He really is Ingram should take notes, he could have sold a bunch on Dort last night...

They really do, wise beyond their years for sure. Really fun game and there weren't many over the weekend. I thought the Pels made it the type of game where they could win but like you said OKC executed well down the stretch and the Pels did not, who are the worst clutch team in the NBA in...

D Green Pels missed out on a great opportunity last night. Their defense was great but they just couldn't score down the stretch. Dort played a great game defending Ingram all night. I thought the late foul call on CJ against SGA was bogus as well. They had them on the ropes. Willie Green...

Haliburton has had a rough 2nd half for sure

Yeah I mean, if they lose McCord in September the season will be derailed, in November after the freshman QB has been here since June/ July maybe he can keep the season together or maybe a healthy CDRW. It's much easier to keep a QB healthy who isn't running the football 15-20 times a game as...

Meh.. you are missing my point, if he turns us down there will be another and then another and then another after that. We aren’t sitting by and waiting for one kid as it makes no sense. I like our chances with this kid but I’m not all in on any one kid in particular

I love this this kid but the thing is it’s no longer about one recruit. Fran gets it, you’re going to win some and lose some battles but you keep your head in the game and keep fighting and at the end of the day you build a really good class with kids who buy into what your selling. It’s a...

Just another day. Good lord

Agreed. I think many now realize (including myself) that Fran and Coach Elijah are probably two of the best in the business when it comes to recruiting, if not the best. It wasn't just talk or where they were recruiting to. Sure it is surprising to see them have this much success at Syracuse...

agreed 100%, very few if anyone truly believes they won't get to the finals. The question is will they beat most likely Denver. The issue is anything other than a championship will be considered a failure.

and there is your local kid running a 10.6

This is interesting

and Sean Lewis must have thought enough of him to bring him from Kent St to Colorado. I think we all think pretty highly of Sean. The same Sean Lewis who was demoted by Coach Prime but highly regarded by many. Looks to me like he hurried back after an injury as well. I have no idea how good...

The goal of any program is to build depth and offer all these kids the chance to come in and compete for not only a starting spot but a position on the depth chart. If the kid comes that is what he is getting the opportunity to do. I will trust the coaches to sort out who starts who doesn't...

100%

HCFB it is.

And if he isn't well that's a good thing too... He's a guy we would like to have, IMO. An O line needs 8 guys that can play, not 5

Horrifying

Amen

Agreed.

Yeah interest is a two way street as well, seems like one side has never been interested. Never an offer reported could be a number of things. Who knows? You would think given the coaches we have, where he is from and who he played for and with at A&M that there would at least be an offer a...

Yeah thought we needed one more CB that can either start or be right there at nickel or #3 CB, he will be needed for sure

HCFB is ridiculous, he is 100% correct when he said he won't be outworked.

Fran recruiting hoops now as well, I love it

Brown will be a nice pick up for Duke. Probably come off the bench at least for next year. Be a solid role player there.

thanks I wasn't aware.

agreed, I like what Fran is doing getting a nice blend of kids who are highly regarded and more sought after on the recruiting front combined with some kids who will need some more time and developed but they all have the measurables you would like to see for their positions. He's also100%...

good lord, this is ridiculous.

He really has, just had a such a great year. His ability to find spots throughout the floor and get good shots is really amazing. Was glad to see Hart's ankle wasn't bad yesterday, and then someone rolled over on him as well. Thought he could have been legit hurt. Not a knicks fan but I like...

The thing that gets me about Raikes as he has been in the portal twice now and no solid report on actually being offered. Just seems weird to me, From NJ and played at A&M for Coach ERob, you would have thought they would have offered him originally. Who knows? Love to have the kid but it...

Lot of these guys were GROB recruits. In addition, you don't give Dino credit for the guys that played for him but recruited by previous coach like you did with Doug and Shafer. It's not really accurate

I tend to agree, I mean isn't all of big time college football ( players, coaches etc) based on a 1 year commitment at this point regardless of coaching contracts, there is always a way out. Everything changes once every season comes to an end, I don't think you can count on any of it for more...

yeah I don‘t think anybody really does around here. Interesting. At the end of the day, red is the head coach and it’s all his responsibility. Guy may have great contacts in the DMV but at Mt St Mary’s you aren’t going to get the best kids. Who knows.

Yeah I mean the Calipari residence in Lexington is something...probably could get a nice deal
