    Stephon Marbury

    8-10 years ago, a buddy of mine from work who played P5 football and counts many pro athletes as friends told me he met KA at a party. My buddy is from Ohio, lives in NYC now, and asked KA how a kid from Queens wound up at Ga. Tech. According to my friend, KA looked him in the eye and said he...

    Rounding Out 2022 Coaching Staff

    If Hackett gets a HC job or stays as coordinator and there’s an opening, have to think his old friend is on the short list for x, y, or z.

    Class of 2022 QB Jayden deLaura (HI) transferring from Washington State

    My little brain immediately thought of Dino and Hawaii (I see Kalen Ellis playing on Sundays, all things equal/healthy) and the Anae/Beck/BYU/west coast possible connectors. It’s why I clicked. Not the most far fetched speculative post on this board….

    Class of 2018 WR Qadir Ismail (MD) Transferring from Villanova

    Does Cam count? And safe to think in football, Nova > GTown?

    Class of 2018 TE Steven Stilianos (VA) Grad Transfer from Lafayette College/Offered

    …..unless a “non traditional” situation like a kid coming in from a conference like the Patriot or in need of a fresh start due to whatever the reason or to be closer to home (are there any more Gronkowski’s around?), etc.

    DL Latarie Kinsler in the portal from FIU

    Duce Chestnut Appreciation Thread

    Those were my years as a student at SU. Incredible talent all around. Amazing that I (played HS ball, fairly knowledgeable) would shout out DeLeone’s play based on formation, motion, personnel, and tendencies before the snap with pretty good accuracy. We lost at least 2-3 games a year to...

    New OL Addition (and latest transfer): Cody Shear

    So you’re saying there weren’t any “fine people on both sides” of rioting and looting? I kid, I kid… What I don’t kid about is equating silence with weakness and inaction. As some say, it’s only political if you make it that way. Systematic racism exists in this country; that isn’t political...

    Class of 2019 OL Willie Tyler (WI / IWCC / TEXAS) Portal from Rutgers to Louisville

    Kid reminds this fan of Andrew Tiller except for the bit about being from the south. Here’s hoping Tyler (even sounds like “Tiller”) produces the same results both at SU and after. White out, Tyler in. Would welcome that 10 out of 9 times.

    Mikel Jones

    Hopefully Mikel gets well soon and a leader on offense emerges the way he has on D. Many times leadership trumps raw talent in positions like LB and QB. Ask Zaire Franklin, Cam Lynch, Ryan Nassib, etc.

    Favorite NYS Orange

    Don McPherson. Dunno where he grew up but know he went to West Hempstead HS on Long Island. Was a mentor of mine during HS in the mid to late 90s and 1 reason I was interested in attending SU. He and other former pro athletes formed a group called Athletes Helping Athletes and they’d mentor and...

    Top 5 Recruits You Were Most Excited About All-Time

    Chandler Jones makes NFL All-Decade Team

    As a life long Jets fan, and then SU fanatic, it still angers me that Quinton GD Coples - who played virtually the same position - was picked ahead of Chandler. Of course, because why not another kick me in the nuts 2x, he was then taken by that Belichick fella. My earliest legit memories of...

    Class of 2021 DL Jaelin Moss (NY) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (4/30/20)

    Surprised we don’t get any “stud” grad transfers from places close by like Stony Brook and Villanova and New Hampshire and Monmouth who are looking to play on a bigger stage. They’ve turned out a few pros in the last few years. Didn’t work in the other direction for a John Kinder but that’s too...

    From What I Saw Of Goodine

    Other than BJ Johnson and mayyyybe Tony Bland, who’s transferred out and made a significant impact elsewhere? (not left for the Pros early; difft thread plz) I haven’t googled names... And in Johnson’s case, wasn’t part of the “why” due to lack of schollies via the Fab Melo never shoulda been...

    Cameron Lynch retires from NFL

    Greenwood recruited Smith; went to the same high school. D'Brick also went to that HS on Long Island. Bullock from Rockland County. Are those caliber of players coming from in-state anymore? Curtis Samuel from Brooklyn (Ohio St.) comes to mind in recent history. Wrong forum, I know. Either way...

    Week 2 of season reminiscing -- 1998

    Was sophomore year and came from a high school where I was a lineman in a Wing T. Tee Martin and the “penalty” for sure. Shoeless DNabb domination of Hensen/Brady in the Big House. Was that Torrey Holt and/or Rivers with NC State? But biggest takeaway was knowing Coach P had to go with So. Many...

    Under the radar stars

    ..and don't forget Strizinger (sp?). A kid Dino gave a chance to play RB who turned down Michigan b/c they wouldn't grant him that opportunity.

    Next Year

    White will need another year of S&C, IMO. Very difficult for a kid of that size and limited playing experience to transform into a starting caliber ACC lineman in 1 year; especially if reporting "late" for camp, etc. Lets lay off the man-child for another year. I'm looking for Davis and Davis...

    Depth Chart for Wake

    Does N. Johnson return punts when Riley is sent in to block them around the end? Am referring to the running into the punter penalty. I'd rather see Shy in that role b/c he has the experience of knowing that angle to rush and is a little bit taller. Also, seems that Black has gained ground...

    4-0

    If they can (have the means), then abso-ing-lutely. And if not, lets get out those orange shirts and do the best we can to drum up support and awareness in other ways. **Note** I took a workshop/training early this year and one takeaway was that "should" is arguably the worst word for a...

    4-0

    My personal reaction to being 4-0, belief in Dino Babers\John Wildhack's vision and work, and playing a softer OOC schedule now and going forward. LGO!

    Dino talking ball with Mark & Wes this morning at 9:45 ET on SiriusXM

    Carmelo Anthony said his time on the Hill was being treated like the Beatles. They're like the Muhammad Ali of music. Its not a generational or socio-economic "known". And during my 4 years on the Hill, it was McNabb and KJ and Tebucky and Nash and Ponds and Greenwood and Konrad and Poles and...

    The Uconn Military Appreciation Game Attendance Prediction Thread

    40,044 on the nose. Very winnable game (tempering expectations) and folks will come with expectations to see both Dungey and Tommy D. Add in Joe Morris and the miliatary tix and thats another 3k to 3,5000. The 4PM also allows for out of towners/staters to drive that 2, 3, 4 hours up and back...

    Syracuse freshman RB Jarveon Howard ready for more after gashing Florida State

    For the non-recruiting followers on here...this is a kid who was offered by Mississippi, Mississippi State, and Tennessee. I loved this Babers quote from the article: "He's just a really focused young man. ... He's really focused on what he wants to do. He knows why he left Mississippi. He...

    Just who is Eric Dungey? (Part 4)

    Haven't seen this much hype about a QB since the likes of Alin Edouard and Zach Allen. ;) My own speculation is that ED and TD are two guys cut from entirely differently cloths: One guy grew up playing every sport in the PAC NW and hardly got a sniff during recruitment at the local public High...

    WR group

    Yep. And Elmore is listed as a TE and not FB/HB, etc. And so I have to think with Pierce in there, more likely to throw, Hackett in a mixed bag, and Elmore in for ground and pound with the occassional play action? Hopefully its not as simple as that.

    Class of 2019 PG Cole Anthony (NY/Oak Hill) to North Carolina

    If I'm Greg Anthony, I'm sending my kid to a program with a proven (recent) history of sending PG's to the League. Unfortunately, be it perception of system (2-3 zone only) or the lack of quality NBA guards Syracuse has outputted over the last 10-15 years, I have no ill-will towards being left...

    Need a bad attitude DT

    Some of the best DT's/NT's that I've ever seen control the line of scrimmage, at all levels, are on the short and stocky side. And it doesn't translate into big time stats. Like Ish88888 eludes to above, there's a saying in the trenches that "low man wins". In HS ball our 5' 6" 225 NT would...

    Back in the day

    These clips are fantastic. And also remind me of Coach P's final years when from the stands, I could from the most part call out, based on formation and motion, what play was coming (My HS offense was similar). And so for all those on here who say that Coach P was fired too soon, I've always...

    Need a bad attitude DT

    Have made the comparison before and I'll make it again. Elmore is our version of Wake's Nikita Whitlock who used to beat the snot out of us as a 5' 11" DT. He then got a cup o' coffee in the NFL playing both DT and FB and is now in the CFL. IMO, Elmore, at this stage, is better than Whitlock...
