    Class of 2025 DB Amari Colon (NY) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (5/7/24)

    Fast and super athletic kid with great agility and not skinny. Could play either offense or defense. May not be super polished as a wide receiver but sure would like to have the ball in his hands as he excels at it. But he definitely appears to have the speed and hips to play CB or safety...

    Class of 2026 CB/WR Demetres Samuel (FL) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (3/30/24)

    Ha. "Meat" must be derived from Demetrice. Looks like Demetrice Martin is the MSU cornerback coach and he was previously the Oregon CB coach. Also appears he was the Pac 12 recruiter of the year 2023.

    Class of 2023 QB LaNorris Sellers (SC) Flipped to South Carolina

    Only thin that is downside at the moment is future QB play after 2024. But I think we can get another solid portal one year QB starter for 2025. Certainly doable for Fran. Either that or if Jakhari turns out to be an absolute stud who can start and do well s a redshirt freshman.

    Class of 2023 QB LaNorris Sellers (SC) Flipped to South Carolina

    First thought is it sure would be great to have him on our roster right now. Then again if he had not decommitted and stuck with us we likely win at least one more game last year and we don’t have Fran so….

    Class of 2022 DB Marcus Washington (GA) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE 5/7/24)

    Wonder if its a numbers thing and they need to see where some other things fall to determine if there is enough room.

    Duce Chestnut & Alijah Clark | NoDestination

    Yeah he doesn't exactly seem like he does extra prep work or have any ground breaking format really but he just knows how to make them feel comfortable like they are just talking casually to some other dude like them. And even the environment he set up helps a lot. He gets the kids to feel...

    On the current roster, how in the heck is Deuce listed at 205 lbs and Cinco listed at 186 lbs. Dude Cinco must have put on a TON of muscle. Would love to see some updated roster weights. Maybe they don't update those and put that info out there until after the portal closes on purpose. Try to...

    Duce Chestnut & Alijah Clark | NoDestination

    They seem to say the D has outplayed the offense which is what you'd expect them to say but honestly i thought that is how it would be so that is good to hear IMO as we saw the offense do some solid things in the Spring game. Glad D has looked solid especially when OG was not really 100% just...

    Love it man. These get me so pumped. Cinco looking BIGGG. Love when interviewers ask them about who is standing out. For young DB guys stepping it up I believe they said lil BJ? Braheem Long Jr. maybe? and Marcelus. Said Bellamy and Jaeden Gould looking good. Sounds like Justin Gould has...

    Class of 2025 QB Joe Filardi (NY) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (4/23/24)

    I would think there may be some sort of a rule where if he plays a certain number of games in football he would need to be counted as a football scholarship. But if he doesn't really play he doesn't. I mean if some kid is primarily a lacrosse player and maybe a more of a borderline football...

    Class of 2022 DB Marcus Washington (GA) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE 5/7/24)

    Just because he hasn't played at DB yet in college doesn't necessarily mean he couldn't be a fine pick up. As stated it would be a very special player to play snaps on O or D at UGA in their true freshman season. For example Yazeed didn't either and we know what everyone here thinks of him. He...

    Exactly. He’s a stud. Look at all of his stats while at Washington St. and his previous stop all be it at Incarnate Word. https://www.espn.com/college-football/player/_/id/4688380/cameron-ward Plus in the Miami spring game Ward completed 19 of 24 passes (79 percent) for 324 yards and three...

    Could he have been a HS kid still that Fran was recruiting while at UGA and he’s not in college yet? It definitely a transfer?

    From posts above, he'll be competing at the Puma East Coast International Showcase in Maryland this weekend. Hence the puma in the graphic. Absolutely love this old twitter post of his from a couple years ago. How awesome is it to be able to say you beat Carl Lewis's record in anything let...

    Is it just me, or ...

    Its been awesome. Tons of 2024's, 2025's and a few 2026's. What is kind of crazy to me is we got 18 transfers in the 2024 class which is a lot. Obviously that contributed to all of the commits. Louisville got 30 of them in the 2024 class. And that is after bringing in 25 transfers in the...

    Backup QB Discussion

    It sure would be nice to have a redshirt freshman LaNorris Sellers on the roster right now. Sellers, who was named the Joe Morrison Offensive Player of the Spring, finished the night completing 9-of-11 passes for 70 yards and rushing five times for 38 yards.

    Class of 2021 QB Christian Veilleux (Canada/MD) Portal from Pitt to Georgia St

    This probably makes sense for him. Probably better to go somewhere and start even if its GA State. Then if he plays well he can transfer elsewhere next season. Otherwise he is just hoping for an opportunity this season via injury.

    2023-24 Portal

    Not sure about MUCH better but certainly could be better. I did post similarly in the other thread after considering both Jurkovic's and Vellieux's stats being bad last year and Vellieux was second string to start the season so he probably wasn't getting the same type of practice reps.

    Class of 2021 QB Christian Veilleux (Canada/MD) Portal from Pitt to Georgia St

    But what starting opportunities are out there still at this point? Maybe if an injury happened or something or who a team brought in they are unsure of and want someone else to compete with them? Maybe Veilleux is a little better than I thought. I think Pitt was just a train wreck last year...

    That’s interesting. Vellieux was pretty awful last season. Not sure what to think of this.

    If Carter wants back at SU, I guarantee Wax is in Frans ear about him.

    DB Ja'Had Carter in the portal from Ohio State

    He was one of the better players in a very good Syracuse secondary. He was arguably the best safety in the portal last year. He may not be a superstar but he should be very solid. He has NFL potential and past production numbers despite some injury history I don’t remember what his injuries...

    Is this team top 25 material right now?

    I think he will be very good for us. I’m just not sure he will be the elite pass rusher type but I would love it if he is. When Freeny defenses are brought up I just don’t want people to put unreal expectations on him and the D. I think splitting a fair amount of snaps at DE is fairly common...

    Is this team top 25 material right now?

    Itook is on the over at 7.5 a couple weeks ago. Wish I made my bet before when it was 6.5. I expect a good record as our schedule is so soft. But rankings will take that into account. I think we have a small chance to get to the playoff but we will need to get an auto bid by winning the...

    Is this team top 25 material right now?

    I think we will be a solid team next year but top 10 is a stretch. And I really like that we brought Diggs in as he will be a very solid player for us. I feel like Diggs is just a solid all around DE and great character guy and leader. But he only had 36 tackles and 4 sacks all of last season. I...

    Not that we or anyone else recruit fullbacks anymore but if we have any packages for a fullback, this dude should get some run on offense too. He would be an absolute stud of a fullback as well.

    Class of 2025 LB Antoine Deslauriers (QC/GA) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (4/26/24)

    Don't think so. He is unranked there as all 5 of the shown stars are grey. He has to get a ratings boost across the board. Not sure how someone can watch that film and give him 3 stars. And all of those offers prove that the sites don't know what they are doing somtimes. 3 stars?!? Thats...

    Class of 2022 WR Justus Ross-Simmons (NY) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (4/24/24)

    Mang is a Senior and Clement is a true Sophomore. I think Clement should redshirt and he would have two more years at SU being the in line TE. But its hard to convince a player to redshirt and not to play if he is already physically there. But maybe with another year of honing his skills he...

    Class of 2022 WR Justus Ross-Simmons (NY) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (4/24/24)

    An additional sidebar in regards to roster weight. Its amazing we have not had an updated roster with weight changes really since last season. We got an updated roster with jersey numbers and added players but no updates on measurables. And more amazing is nobody has complained about it! That...

    Class of 2022 WR Justus Ross-Simmons (NY) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (4/24/24)

    Who cares what he is listed as. I like him listed as a TE. He is a hybrid player who plays mostly in the slot, may get a little more run on the line this year. We will see. He was listed as 223 lbs last year and his arms have certainly gotten bigger. i'm going to guess he is 230 lbs this year...

    Class of 2024 OT Vito Shevchenko (Canada/FL) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (4/24/24)

    With this kids inexperience and sudden huge weight gain he'll need a couple years. You can tell from the highlights he has a lot of work to do in the strength department. He doesn't really push anybody around, even smaller kids. I mean when adding 40 lbs a year for 2 1/2 years that obviously...

    Wohoo!! Absolutely love this staff! The past 4 months of football recruiting is just absurd. Transfers, 2024 frosh, transfers, 2025 frosh, transfers, 2026 frosh. The sheer number of signings alone is crazy. Where the heck are the 2027’s Fran?!? Where?

    So he has been at FAU the past 3 seasons after being at Penn St in 2019 and 2020. Didn't throw a pass but carried the ball 23 times. Think he was still a QB though. Michael Johnson, Jr. - Football - Florida Atlantic University Athletics Michael Johnson Jr. Career Stats - NCAAF - ESPN

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

    I have a feeling this is not exactly correct. He is ranked as a 4 star, a 4 star, a 3 star and no stars on the 4 sites. How can he be a composite 5 star? I think because they only have so many kids ranked he is very high overall on the position ranking. But the sites don't give him 5 star ratings.

    Awesome! This kid looks great. Uber athletic in everything he does. Every single motion of every play appears to come natural to him. Think he can compete with our higher profile QB’s we are bringing in aka Jakhari and Carney. But even if he doesn’t win the starting spot, the great thing about...

    Bryce Cohoon in the portal

    I liked Cahoon's measurables as far as speed and height. I wasn't all that impressed with his WR skills from his highlights. Looked a little like bit more like an athlete who played football than a WR who happened to be very fast and athletic. With the WR’s we have coming in this doesn't...

    2024 Success in Major Jeopardy

    For people who watched the game on TV they probably got a better idea of the bad decision making by CDRW near the goal line when in consecutive plays he had a bad decision to not hand the ball off and lost 5 yards and then had the play clock expire on him. Those are very costly errors. There...

    Class of 2023 WR Ardell Banks (OH) Portal from Kentucky

    Nice prospect. Thinking we may not peruse though just because I feel like if we grab a transfer portal WR it is for somebody we think can contribute in a starter type of capacity now. Not sure if he fits that considering he hasn't played any yet. Then again Zeed only had one reception in his...
