    2024 Winter Workout

    I've always said sweatpants can ruin a football program.

    Does anyone know if Kohn is full-go? Would love for him and Mullen to jump in ready to take over from the opening whistle of the year.

    NET and KenPom Tracker 23-24 (SU = 84 3/9/24)

    Agreed. The ACC has 8 final four teams in the last 8 years most of any conference. Also have won Championship 3 times in that span… most of any conference. The ACC also won the ACC/B1G challenge this year. When it matter most in March, the ACC is far and away the best conference in the country...

    Miami Postgame Thoughts

    It will most likely never happen… but if Red could get Benny to by into playing a Tyler Roberson type role… he would demand minutes over Taylor. I think Benny has the motor, athleticism, and strength to play as active as Roberson did, but does he have the mentality to do so? I would guess not...

    Nice to see Kohn there. He’s tagged on the right. Kid looks like a beast in highlights, I know it’s a big step up but expecting to be better at the X this year

    2024 Preseason All Americans

    Thanks for the insight. Any word on how Fig has looked leading up to his first college season? I know Spallina dropped a quote with some praise for him in the Fall. This team really figures to have a lot of new faces on the defense despite returning a lot too. To your point, gotta think Wright...

    2024 Preseason All Americans

    Pretty surprised Olexo wasn’t named at all. You’re telling me he’s not a top 20 Close D or LSM in the country? Maybe I don’t follow the sport as a whole enough, but seems to me he would be. Anyone know where he’s playing this year? Is it Close again or is he moving back to LSM?

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

    Pretty excited to see what Williams and E-Rob can do with these new DLs. Big time talent infusion from the off-season with Nwochoka, Hastings, Tank, KJE, and Watson.

    Class of 2023 New Transfer: Gregory Elijah-Brown (ON: Hill Acad) Attack / Transfer from OCC

    Would love for this kid to just come in and add another legit option to the offense. 183 points is just laughable

    Maliq Appreciation Thread

    Pretty sure he was a fairly highly recruited TE in football too. 6 foot 9 is a bit much to be running fluid routes. I’m sure that helps him at catching everything in traffic around the rim

    Class of 2023 JUCO DL Michael Nwokocha (TX) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (1/8/24)

    Beating out Mississippi St for this kid isn’t insignificant. Apart from the obvious of them being in the SEC West… they have excelled at sending DL to the NFL. Chris Jones, Jeffery Simmons, Preston Smith. Just to name a few.

    2024 Preseason Thread

    I think Birtwistle would thrive on attack. Feel he is playing a bit out of position at middie. That being said, I agree, Hiltz won’t be coming out of the box this year. Leo at attack is interesting too because he can step into that left handed role, while giving us a much better dodging option...

    Class of 2021 DT Dion Wilson (CA) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (1/2/24)

    can Darton return? I know he’s way undersized but he brings some disruption on the inside. Just need to add depth at DT. 1 or 2 more through the portal please

    Class of 2024 DB/WR Ta’Ron Haile (NJ) COMMITTED / SIGNED NLI TO SYRACUSE (6/26/23)

    I found that noteworthy as well. Not too surprising given the talent influx we’ve brought in at WR since Fran arrived. Wonder if the staff had a talk with him about moving to Safety

    Class of 2022 S Devin Grant (NY) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (12/18/23)

    Actually a good idea IMO. Move him back to corner where we need bodies and experience. Don’t forget Myles Farmer at safety. Still perplexed why he hasn’t seen the field much after a monster year at Nebraska last year. He has eligibility remaining

    Should step in for Lowery nicely. And he has more eligibility.

    Grant, Diggs bros, Norman would be a dream on the defensive side of the ball. I thought I had read that aTm transfer DB Tyreek Chappel was in a visit this weekend too. Can anymore comment on that? He would be a huge upgrade to the secondary

    Class of 2021 QB Kyle McCord (NJ) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (12/17/23)

    Personally, I’m just not willing to go that far. I need to see the coaching, specifically on offense and see how the roster gels. That stuff matters regardless of talent. OL needs some upgrades if we want to be serious contenders.

    Class of 2024 DL David McMorris (DC) Flipped to UPenn

    Not challenging, just curious… what makes Graham a better fit schematically than McMorris? Seem like similar players and body types. Was McMorris going to be asked to play inside at Cuse?

    Nice offer sheet. If he and big bro are a package deal sign me up for both! Kind of confusing why a recruit with an offer sheet like this is so low rated in rankings. Who cares though

    2023 Fall Ball

    Just curious if anyone has any insight/predictions as to what the starting attack line and first two midfield lines might look like? Purely speculation on my part but I’ll go first… Attack- Spallina, Mule, Hiltz. 1st Mid- English, Leo, Thomson. 2nd Mid- Stevens Rhoa, Birtwhistle. I know...

    Two parts of the schedule really jump out to me… gotta be at least 6-1 after the 7 game home stand. Then gotta go 1-1 in maybe the toughest 2 game stretch any team in the country will play… @ND on March 30th then @Cornell April 2nd.

    This is another exciting prospect despite his lack of stars. Some serious programs getting involved at the end of his recruitment. Typically guys like this we have committed, and they get picked off by the big boys. It’s nice for roles to be reversed.
