I said this on the FB board but I'm intrigued by him more at RB than QB.

He honestly intrigues me more as a RB than a QB.

I mean if you want to look at it that way be my guest but a guy not graded a 5 star at any site being a composite 5 star at any site makes no logical sense.

Yes! Was hoping this would happen. With him, Washington and Lewis some really nice late upperclassman transfer portal add for the 2 deep.

I'm not counting Fran out either, and holding out hope that there is a pro-style kid out there who is a #2 somewhere with 3-4 years to play that sees the opportunity here after McCord leaves and is willing to sit a year to take over the reigns. OSU has 4-5 guys on their roster that could start...

We'll have space to do whatever we need to do. I wouldn't worry about it.

I think we could get a Zeed Haynes type - I just don't know if there's one out there. But that would be the ideal profile, kid that would be on the 2 deep at a P4 poised to be a starter in a year but maybe wants a change of scenery / play closer to home / play for Fran etc.

I don't want anymore buried on depth chart kids - that's exactly what CDRW and Davis are. I want either guys that are the QB equivalent of a Zeed Haynes, were poised to be on the 2 deep at their respective schools early in their career but want a change of scenery, or a legit upperclassman that...

When you can say that someone who looks like they're holding a hand grenade with the pin pulled in the pocket and has a wonky throwing motion looks better than CDRW - it kinda tells you the state of our QB depth chart beyond McCord. CDRW is wildly inconsistent but occasionally pulls a gem out...

What's pretty cool is that there are 3 top 50 2026 prospects committed per 247 thus far and we have one of them. What a difference a Fran makes...

It's not correct. You can't be a composite 5 star without being a 5 star somewhere lol I had the same issue with 247 with their composite rankings trying to track potential increases to our overall ranking for the 2024 class - looks like something wonky going on on their site.

I think it’s important to remember that it’s not illegal to be an a hole. Just because someone hasn’t been found guilty in a court of law, it doesn’t mean I want them anywhere near anything I care about if there’s enough smoke around them.

There will be OL still leaving.

That’s what has to happen unfortunately. Anyone that watched the spring game could see the talent disparity between the first and second units. Under Fran I’m confident we will not have a program that suffers from quality depth every single season moving forward. And that’s a relief.

Have you watched Davis and CDRW? We cannot put ourselves in a position to have to rely on either one of them. What good is awesome talent if they can’t deliver the damn ball?

I’d be surprised if he was a football scholarship.

Nice stuff. Love the depth and rebuild we’re seeing with the OL. In my opinion there was a dramatic drop off in OL quality from 1st to 2nd team at the Spring game. More the merrier!

I think liking potential is also relative - Cohoon’s potential was relative to where we were, not where we’re going. I liked Cohoon’s potential because his speed profile and his film as a WR was superior to what we had been recruiting, but at the end of the day he was still a recruit from...

Wasn't Brown the one they were looking for a potential switch to DB? Guess that didn't work out then...

I don't think this is the type of Camden connection you want.

I mean to commit to Marshall and then re-enter the portal in the same portal window - probably a good indicator we aren't going anywhere near him.

I mean we have a lot going for us - I think the better QB, we play in a dome with a fast track, The Fran effect, he gets to play close to home so family can easily stop in, P4 with playoff access...

Marketing value in that kids look at these recruiting lists, they reference their star grades in their commit announcements on social media, and so on. They want to be in classes with other top commits.

If it comes down to highest bidder - that's always going to be a challenge at this stage in the game.

There is Marketing value to it. And that is a real thing.

I don't think he was ever re-offered - that was an old staff offer.

I could see that - if he gets his day in court and he's cleared, and he goes Prep or JUCO or whatever he can go to at this time and keeps his nose clean for a year, then maybe at that time it's more palatable. But we have a long way to go to get there. That being said, I do admire that they...

It the grand scheme of a final recruiting ranking, yes. In the context of comparing to our own recruiting cycles over the past 20 years, it means A LOT.

I'm with you on this one. I'm all about a redemption story (Alton Robinson is an example of that) but this is a bit much for me.

It's great when it's not happening to you for once lol

That would be ironic for sure.

Gill did show well and Ross is the real deal. Ross is basically the WR version of Willis. And we have Tremble coming in too with OG and Villari already there. Ton of depth and talent at the WR and TE positions now.

Can always use PWO QB's. So welcome aboard!

I mean I guess it technically could be Malachi maybe if they see him projecting at RB, but I think it’s someone else. Could be wrong though.

Sounded like a transfer or 2024, someone who wasn’t there yet but will be. That’s what Oronde said.

I love that Sheffey is from State College, PA. Hi PSU!

And it appears there’s another RB out there for the fall as well if I heard Oronde right.

Willis is a complete BEAST! Going to be fun to watch him as long as we have him. Wow.

3 2026 commits. 3 4 stars. It’s happening folks. :D

Yep another really nice add to the 2025 class. Love it.

Price was a significant disappointment post transfer considering his production at NMSU - I think it was in his best interest to find another school irrespective of who the head coach was this year. It doesn't surprise me one bit that Willis jumped over him.

All due respect to Bob Chesney, but he never would have built up the program like this. Basically across the board from assistants, to recruits, to alumni/fan interest. I think he's a quality coach but this situation needed a specialized individual. So much of what has been done has been...

Yep - we want recruits that other programs want.

Yeah I just think anyone that was amped up about him bringing over a 1AA staff after the Dino experiment was just satisfied with Syracuse being a 2nd rate at best program permanently. It's sad how far our expectations as a fan base had fallen.

I'm still of the opinion that hiring Chesney would have cemented the program as a mediocre program for the long haul.

If he truly is a blueshirt he wouldn't sign a LOI.

He's super smooth moving down the field, and surprisingly strong/tough for how lanky he is. Definitely not afraid of blocking or contact.

I think we're aiming for 185 - so doesn't appear so :D
