Just like every name people bring up out of the blue as a transfer, it's not that they would be, it's that people want them to be.
I don't see why he would want to transfer here to be a backup on a team with a horrible OL.
Hope for the best
And yet, he's got the opportunity at UB to be the featured back. What better is he going to find elsewhere?
He must have been told that he could be a featured back somewhere. Thats the only thing I can think of.
No but he’d have a shot at being a competent #2 back for us. Which people are agonizing about in the Jordan transfer thread.
Not sure that's a very good take.
Great point. That team can score and he will get a ton of carries.
How many of this list of drafted guys from MAC schools were backups?
Marks had draft hype building in ‘19, and played second string behind a guy this year who was an all american and likely 3-5 round draft pick
Yes and? Also plays behind a good offensive line in the MAC in a run heavy scheme.
IMO, we really don’t need him to do too much besides be quality depth. A comparison I would make would be how Roscoe was for us this year on D. He came from McNeese St but made some good plays as a backup. Not many people are going to remember him in a few years but I’m still glad we brought him in. We wouldn’t need this kid to be a draft pick or even a feature back; we just need someone to be able to give Tucker some rest and make some good plays.
I don't disagree with that someone from the MAC can't come in and contribute and was not intending to make a blanket statement.
No. The implication in the post I responded to seemed to be, "If you play at a Mac school, you don't have the talent to help, or improve Syracuse, therefore pursuing a MAC player is a waste of time."
That’s not what I was implying, but I guess it could read that way.
That's not true.
