    Class of 2020 SG Koby Brea (NY) Portal from Dayton

    I’m gonna be honest. I’m not in favor of JJ running point unless we get this kid. If we get this kid have JJ run point, this kid at the 2, Bell at the 3, Freeman at the 4, Lampkin at the 5. Westry, Davis, Moore, Cuffe and McLeod off the bench

    Class of 2025 WR Terrell Wilfong (NJ) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (4/18/24)

    Soooo size and speed are definitely not going to be a problem under Fran lol

    Class of 2022 WR Justus Ross-Simmons (NY) Portal from Colorado St

    We are in good shape here and have been the second he entered the portal. If ya catch my drift

    Class of 2025 G Asher Elson (NY) Offered

    Body type, frame, athleticism, play style are all very similar to McCullough coming out of high school. McCullough a little more polished and stronger at this point but this kid has really good potential. He has some guard skills and hit a growth spurt. Still growing into his body. He’ll end...

    Were #15

    I know it’s early like very early. But we are up to the #10 class on the all day site for 2025 and are at the #10 class in 2016. Obviously extremely early and I’m sure we’ll fall but it’s still just crazy to me how much difference a year has made lol

    Class of 2020 F Jyare Davis (DE) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (4/15/24)

    Another thing I think Red is trying to change is the ball got stuck in our players hands to often than not. The ball movement was pretty bad most of the season. JJ is a willing passer, Leffew is an above average passer. What I’m most excited about is Lampkin and Davis are extremely good passers...

    Class of 2020 F Jyare Davis (DE) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (4/15/24)

    That being said. This kid being our first forward off the bench is a HUGE plus. I can see this kid being a 10ppg and 7rpg kind of player off the bench…Davis and Westry will be our two main guys off the bench if I had to guess. With McLeod strictly backing up Lampkin

    New Assistant: Dan Engelstad [Official]

    Soooo let’s put it this way. Anyone concerned about money within the Program. This should help calm down those concerns cause we just had to shell out money to get a HC to become an assistant. Thought things were looking good behind the scenes with Mack, and tbh everything that I was told...

    Class of 2020 F Jyare Davis (DE) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (4/15/24)

    So not a guarantee we get this kid but I think we have a real good shot. You likely start SF-Bell PF-Freeman C-Lampkin Davis and McLeod off the bench for the 3, 4 and 5. Westry can also play the back up SF. What’s clear from last years Portal by adding McLeod and this year adding Lampkin...

    Class of 2022 SG Roddy Gayle (NY / Wasatch)

    I would love to have Gayle but with that being said he and JJ are virtually the same players. Both are going to get most of their points driving to the basket. Neither is a GREAT 3 point shooter but both can make it. I also would be interested to see how Red would work out the rotation. If we...

    Possible Portal Point Guards

    Mack is a very real option and if I was a betting man (which I am) he’s our starter next year at PG

    Class of 2025 DJ PICKETT 5*****

    F*** it. I’m gonna say he’s Orange……… in 2026. Commits to Miami in the next couple of months, flips to an SEC school on signing day, transfers after 2 seasons and ends up at Cuse. Someone screenshot this so when it comes true

    Way-Too-Early Top 25 for 24-25 Season

    I mean that’s just not realistic as much as I want it to be true. We literally don’t have a PG right now lol PG-?? SG-Starling SF-Bell PF-Freeman C-Lampkin Rotation: Westry Moore McLeod Transfer that can play the 3 or 4 Patterson Cuffe Then 2 Freshman or Sophmore transfers we will...

    Class of 2025 WR Michael Thomas III (NJ) Offered

    This kid is a stud. If he commits in the next few days he’ll be up our top 2025 commit to date. Also, a wide receiver room of Ross, Hornsby and Thomas. All NJ kids. To go with Willis the RB from NJ Then you have Tremble at Tight End. And then you add all these jitterbug, fast as hell...

    Class of 2025 RB Malachi Coleman (VA) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (4/3/24)

    Remember when it was a big deal to get one Brisly Estime or Erv Phillips on our roster? Just to have one of those fast, quick twitch guys that can run smooth, fast and for days. Well we now have like 5-6 of those guys lol

    Class of 2024 LS Jacob Zuhr (FL) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (4/3/24)

    Pretty cool. I literally live right next to his high school so cool to see that connection

    Class of 2020 C Eddie Lampkin (TX) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (4/2/24)

    Give me this kid at the 5, McLeod backing him up. Then get me Brandon Huntley, Freeman and Bell as our main wings and I’m game. That’s some serious beef, size and athleticism. To go with guards like Westry, Starling, Moore Then need a transfer starting PG. we’d be rolling if this happens...

    Class of 2024 PF Donnie Freeman (MD / IMG) COMMITTED & SIGNED TO SYRACUSE (5/11/23)

    Everyone needs to enjoy Donnie the one year he is here. He is a legit one and done. He’ll be a lottery pick on intrigue and potential alone. Dude is damn near 6’10”, athletic as hell, moves very well for his size, has very good defensive potential and can shoot it well for his size. If Judah...

    Class of 2025 DB Jordan Gibbs (NY) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (3/24/24)

    And for the record that last post was not a shot at Fran and staff by any means. They have obviously proven they can recruit at a very level and can hear too. It’s just funny seeing us get dudes with 20+ offers that everyone wants. Then we get dudes that literally don’t even have a recruiting...

    Class of 2025 DB Jordan Gibbs (NY) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (3/24/24)

    So basically Fran takes commitments from guys that are highly rated and have like 20 offers. Or they are going to have no offers but can run like a cheetah. I see how this is going lol

    2024 Spring Practice

    It’s really crazy we have McCord, Allen, OG, Villari, Haynes, Hatcher, Donovan Brown, Peña, Meeks Willis seems like he is gonna be ready this year to back up Allen. Willis is gonna be the real deal. And we still add Tremble, Ross and Hornsby in the summer. This team is talented on the...

    Spring roster is up

    Size is definitely not a problem. We have plenty of big and fast dudes on this roster. I’m excited. Also excited about our D-line looking like a d-line finally. Some big dudes.

    Class of 2020 Grad OL Codie Hornsby (TX) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (3/13/2024)

    LT-Enrique Cruz LG-Hornsby C-Reed RG-Miller RT-Wohlabaugh In rotation/depth More Weatherspoon Joe Cruz Ellis Probably the deepest and most talented O-line we’ve had in awhile. That starting O-line is a UNIT. Some big physical dudes on that interior

    Class of 2024 OL Travis Brown-Miller (NJ) COMMITED TO SYRACUSE (3/7/24)

    Looking at his hudl, big and strong that is for sure. Extremely raw. Slow foot speed, not very quick and plays high. Things that can be worked on. Reminds of Jamar Mcgloster a few years back. Was a big dude coming out of high school and needed a lot of work and was similar to this. Ended up...

    4th place in the ACC with one to play

    If we win Tuesday. It’s gonna be awfully hard for the committee to keep out an ACC team that went 21-10 (12-8), 4th in the ACC with a double bye on a 5 game winning streak to end the season…..

    Mike Hopkins and UW

    Dream scenario. We move on from Griff, Hopkins comes back as an assistant/assistant head coach. Players love GMAC and Hop. You have two stud recruiters in Straughn and Hopkins. Gmac can develop guards, that is his strength. Just have him develop players and only recruit when needed. Let Hop...

    Class of 2022 S Keon Sabb (NJ) Portal from Michigan to Alabama

    We have studs at safety in Clark, Barron, and Grant. Gould is obviously good too. But you don’t say no to this kid. This kid starts day 1. Then you have Bellamy, Chestnut and Barnes at corner. That’s a good secondary

    Biggest concerns moving forward

    This team is so flawed. We don’t have a complete player on this team. Everyone has some sort of major flaw that can easily be exploited and teams do that. Maliq is the closest we have to a good all around player. JJ is getting there as his has been a lot better, defense has been getting...

    Benny Williams dismissed from program

    I’m pretty sure we are Louisville loss away from a free fall the rest of the season. Would not be pretty and they need a win bad

    WR Zayeed Haynes (portal WR) Georgia practice videos

    McCord, Gadsden, Allen, Villari, Haynes will be our main playmakers on offense Then we need 1-2 of the following to step up to make this offense truly next level with playmakers: Brown, Ross, Tremble, Hornsby, Hatcher, Willis I like our chances. That’s a lot of unproven talent that has the...

    Is there NFL talent on 2024 roster?

    There is a lot of talent on this team. Probably the most talented team we’ve had in 20 or so years. I’m not going to list any of the true freshman because they haven’t played a down of college ball yet but we know the freshman class is the most talented we’ve had in also probably 20+ years. So...

    Class of 2024 PF Donnie Freeman (MD / IMG) COMMITTED & SIGNED TO SYRACUSE (5/11/23)

    Obviously still have this season and hope this season finishes strong and we make the tourney as we are starting to play strong basketball. But hard not to think of what can be next year…I really don’t think people realize just how good this kid is Starling Westry (hopefully fully healthy)...

    ACC Games for Jan 20

    Need to be huge Pitt and Oregon fans the rest of the year. And hope Miami turns it around. Hopefully Colgate wins the Patriot league again this year too. We have beaten some quality teams this year. They just need to finish strong too!

    Class of 2021 DB Tyreek Chappell (PA) Staying at Texas A&M

    Clark, Barron, Gould, Jalil Martin, Cornell Perry, Haile are all safties. Likely a current WR converting to safety this off season as well. We have the bodies. Obviously Clark, Barron and Gould are the only ones with real experience. But I can see one of Martin, Perry and Haile stepping up to...

    Potential DL

    Nwokocha is going to be very hard to keep off the field in my opinion. Just an early guess and prediction. But I think our main rotation will be between. Nwokocha, Wilson, Ingraham, Hastings, Diggs, Jaquez and Jobity Others will obviously get snaps like Kingjoseph, Perry, EFC, Simmons…but...

    Class of 2022 DT Isaiah Hastings (Canada / FL) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (1/15/24)

    Defensive line looking really good, athletic and big now. I legitimately think all we are missing from being an ELITE defense is another corner that can play right away. Deuce, Bellamy and Barnes will likely be a good trio but we need one more guy for me to feel comfortable. Nwokocha, Dion...

    Class of 2024 DB Ibn McDaniels (NJ) COMMITTED / SIGNED NLI TO SYRACUSE (1/13/24)

    Jalil Smith removing name from portal

    Yeah I’ve heard some really good things about David O. He’s big, strong and fast. Has the size the new coaches want at linebacker too. Jalil was kinda a surprise in the portal when he entered. Thought he would gel well with the new staff. He’s in the mold of Lowery and Linton in terms of size...
