    Vegas...All things related. Who is going? Mark...tailgate possibility?

    Expect high prices. UNLV considers this the biggest home game in the history of their program.

    Class of 2025 LB Tyler Houser (NJ) Verbal to Wake Forest

    In case you were wondering how someone could possibly pick Wake Forest over Syracuse, I have an explanation. Houser is a terrific baseball player too. And while Wake’s football program is mediocre, its baseball program is top notch. Now you know the rest of the story……

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

    I would think the Texas guys should both be 4 star players. Certainly Washington, who has tons of great offers including one from Texas. Believe Carney is rated a 4 star on Rivals so hopefully the folks at 247 will give him a similar rating. I would think the player with the most total yards...

    Good to hear his voice

    I have been following SU football avidly since the 1970s. Any chance to hear a coach talk, I was there. Heck, I even kept listening to coaches shows in the days of GRob. I liked Dino and hoped he would succeed. Really enjoyed listening to him tell stories. But when it came time to talk...

    First two time CAA defensive player of the year in history. He is a force inside on defense.

    GMAC to Siena

    Best wishes to Gerry and his family for success in Siena. I suspect he will do well there.

    Possible Portal Point Guards

    Another thing I like about him is that he made the all defensive team in the CAA this season. He is apparently an excellent man defender

    Yes, he has been here at least once.

    Class of 2025 QB Luke Carney (TX) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (3/25/25)

    Thrilled with this commitment. He is the QB I was hoping we would get. He is everything I want in the QB. Strong arm, poise, terrific athleticism. He can throw it and he can run it. Pretty sure I just rad he has more total yards in his career than anyone else in the country in the HS class...

    If poopsicle likes him, he has the job. Pretty sure that is the handle for the Siena AD.

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

    Looks like he transferred from Iona Prep during the summer of 2023. He was an excellent basketball player. Had a lot of offers, including one from Georgia Tech. Agree he is not a Chandler Jones type. Chandler was skinny in HS. I saw him play against Henninger when I think he was a sophomore...

    I hate Clemson but...

    The biggest takeaway from the tournament is that Lunardi needs to be put on indefinite leave from his job and taken to a mental health facility to be treated for insanity. Maybe someone is poisoning his toupee?

    I am 100% on board whenever we recruit an OL with a square head. Blake Bednarz approves this message.

    Class of 2020 DB Aamir Hall (MD) Portal from Albany

    I think we get a random video posted from that series every year or so. Random recommendation to the SUMB director. Do a halftime show featuring Schoolhouse Rock songs. It will be very popular.

    Class of 2025 DB Marcus Upton (NJ) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (3/23/24)

    Agree about safety. His film on defense has him playing free safety. But he is going to be big enough to play other safety positions as well. Might also be fast enough to play CB. Fits the mold for Coach Brown secondary guys that can play both. I think he has a good chance of playing in the...

    Correct. Joe worked at Syracuse for a long time and I think many people liked him. Good luck to him wherever he ends up next.

    Coach Fran Brown Hosting Alumni Zoom

    There were a lot of players from the Coach P era on the call. I think the way things ended with Coach P turned off a lot of players who played under him. Feelings were hurt and bridges were burned. Coach Brown has begun the healing process. His opening speech set the tone for a new era. Good...

    Class of 2025 OT Kardiear Shepherd (NY) Offered

    I guess it’s possible, but I don’t know why we would ever be offering PWOs in the class of 2025 so early. I think this is a legit offer.

    Class of 2025 OT Kardiear Shepherd (NY) Offered

    As far as I can tell, he didn’t even make All CNY honorable mention. Something weird is going on.

    Class of 2025 OT Kardiear Shepherd (NY) Offered

    interesting tape. He is a legit 6’7 and has a good build. Not really skinny and not really fat. His arms are really long. He is flexible and does a fine job starting and staying low. He is athletic and reasonably quick for his enormous size. Seems pretty strong already. Though I suspect...

    Well, the Mets did it. They signed JD Martinez. https://x.com/TalkinBaseball_/status/1770969262544351296?s=20 This probably means Mark Vientos ends up playing in Syracuse this season. It also means Pete Alonso has a quality hitter behind him for the first time in a long time. Maybe ever...

    Quadir Copeland in the portal

    Me too. It was nice before and me and a couple of friends stopped on the way to Buffalo and played at a course just off the Thruway near Rochester. UConn was in the same Buffalo bracket, played poorly and was about to lose in a big first round upset but made an improbable comeback to get a...

    Clemson wants out of the ACC too...(shocker)

    I know FSU talking heads thought it was a great victory when the ACC confirmed they would accept a market value settlement for an ACC school that wanted to leave. I am not a lawyer but I suspect that the when you have a contract and there is a clear value for it, and a side wants out you have...

    Many thanks to clifton for doing this again. Always enjoy it, even though I am terrible at it. Congrats to all the winners. I believe I have updated everyone’s titles. If I screwed something up, please let me know ASAP. And wait until next year!

    Clemson wants out of the ACC too...(shocker)

    My take is that Clemson‘s attorneys are just as incompetent as the FSU attorneys. They want a contract invalidated because it turns out it wasn’t a good deal for them. That isn’t how things work. They will both lose.

    Quadir Copeland in the portal

    I enjoyed watching him play. Most of the time. When we read about declines in attendance at college basketball games and TV ratings continue to crater, this kind of thing is the root cause. Q doesn’t need to go to a program that will let him do what he wants. He needs to go to a school that...

    What happened here

    I think it is the Aviles that transferred from Syracuse. Going to Johns Hopkins makes people worse and perhaps it happened again here. That said, it looked inadvertent to me. It appears to me Aviles was totally focusing on the ball. I have a workin theory there is a long term history of...

    2024 New York Mets Thread

    The Mets are currently 10-9 in spring training games. 5th in the grapefruit standings. Not sure if there is any meaning to win/loss record in these games but I think overall it has been a good spring, other than the Senga injury. The pitching, especially the starting pitching, has been very...

    Class of 2025 WR Darien Williams (NY: CBA) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (3/16/24)

    This is a very foreign question for us Syracuse fans to consider. We just don’t historically get many 4 star players. But in 2024, according to 247 composite rankings, we got 4. Super unusual. If memory serves, Tremble was Dino’s, but Fran got the other 3. It was an historic class. But...

    Class of 2025 WR Darien Williams (NY: CBA) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (3/16/24)

    I think with the way the Ahmad thing ended and Fran’s dislike of PSU, this was a sweet recruiting win. We have to start winning our share of recruiting battles with the crumbling empire. This was a good start. Williams really exploded on the scene in CBA’s run to the state championship game...

    Class of 2025 WR Darien Williams (NY: CBA) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (3/16/24)

    Class of 2025 WR Darien Williams (NY: CBA) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (3/16/24)

    Another day, another one of the fastest players in NYS signed. If you saw the state championship, which Coach Brown did, you understand why Darien was an important recruit for us to get. Coach Brown lands another player with a sub 11 second 100m time. We are rapidly moving up the ranks in...
