    Class of 2024 DL Omar White (GA) Visited for Spring Game

    So I did some digging and it appears the charges have been dismissed. I’m no legal expert and don’t fully understand how these things work but this is what I’ve found. 2/20/24 Victim (not Brantley his former teammate) submits affidavit that wishes for charges to be dismissed stating that he...

    Class of 2022 WR Justus Ross-Simmons (NY) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (4/24/24)

    I’ll preface by saying I’m obviously no talent expert but I do think I that I have a decent eye for talent and I have watched highlights of both guys I mentioned. Based on what I’ve seen on video and measurables these guys are not even close (albeit I do understand you’re limited with highlights).

    Class of 2022 WR Justus Ross-Simmons (NY) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (4/24/24)

    And it’s still funny that he gets a 247 transfer ranking of 87 which makes him #100 wr that hit the portal. Yet Rutgers transfer from Monmouth is rated 4 star and 29th best wr despite much less interest and success against quality opponents lol.

    Class of 2026 LB Izayia Williams (FL) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (4/15/24)

    Sure you can. The composite is basically the average of the sites and he comes in at 20 in composite so therefore 5 star since the top 32 are considered 5 star. I assume some of the guys above him in individual site rankings either have much lower rating or not ranked on the other sites hence...

    Class of 2024 DL Omar White (GA) Visited for Spring Game

    Wouldn’t be surprised if they are setting us up as a potential landing spot after a year at Juco if he gets his legal issues cleared and keeps clean from any trouble for a year.

    NIT Bracketology

    That was the Rock Lloyd breakout game. Unfortunately it was also his last game lol.

    Class of 2026 DE Kayden Bennett (CT) Offered

    I’m assuming this is younger brother of former 4 star DL Kechaun Bennett who we recruited hard and landed at Michigan. We should have a really good shot here with the new S&C coach that we brought in that has ties to these Suffield/Supreme Athlete guys.

    Filipowski better be suspended

    this! Certainly it’s not as bad as a punch but the error is the no call on the court. If they deem that it is worthy of a flagrant that results in ejection and not called then the penalty gets assessed at the next game. That was most of our biggest issues with the Buddy situation. If...

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

    Delaware state you say…..I guess Devin Redd must have some insight into Codie’s abilities… :)

    Spring and Summer Offered Prospects Visit List

    You can add Vernell Brown as unofficial visitor in the last couple of days for record keeping purposes

    Question

    I don’t find it as much that he bumps SU commits down but moreso the Rutgers commits get unwarranted bump ups. I think this is in part because he has some bias towards Rutgers a little but more so he is so connected to the Rutgers staff. He takes their evaluations as gospel hence just slapping...

    Tell us how you really feel, Fran…. :p

    Fran Brown Coaching Staff

    Interesting move here that appears to be a nice bounce back from losing Ahmad. Omar appeared to have an excellent reputation for developing connections with recruits and their families while at Nebraska. Nebraska fans weren’t happy when it came out that he was no longer going to be there...

    Army Gameday...

    On that 3rd goal by army that made it 3-3 when Mark knocked it down and ball supposedly rolled in did anyone notice that it looked like ball was on outside of net then goal got lifted and it rolled in from side? I thought they would review that as seemed to happen after whistle when there was...

    Class of 2022 Jacoby Mathews (LA) Portal from Texas A&M

    SEC has a rule that spring portals cannot transfer within conference apparently

    Fran Brown Coaching Staff

    Kind of wild how the chairs get aligned at the end though. Underwood turns down our WR job and we end up hiring Pats WR coach. Now Underwood goes to Pats as Assistant WR coach…. weird move if his choice as he seemed to be good recruiter and liked the college game but maybe it had grown old for...

    Hafley leaving BC for NFL

    So they hired Will Lawing (former Pats TE coach) as OC and Tim Lewis (yes that Tim Lewis from ‘05) as DC. Lawing- most recently with Pats last year as TE coach and was an analyst at Alabama the year before with BOB. He has one other year as a GA in college at Penn st in 2013 and then left...

    Damien Alford Grad Transferring to Utah

    The issue here is the delivery. Should Fran have kept it in house and let Alford leave on his own terms? Probably…and that certainly would have looked better from the outside. Was Fran trying to make a statement to the players? Maybe but there probably would be better ways to go about it...

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

    I just got a pretty good deal at NYNY and I’ll keep my eye for other deals and might swap out as gets closer but wanted to have something in my back pocket.

    Khalil Ahmad back to Penn State

    I’ve always wondered what goes down post this type of situation. I’m assuming that Khalil was involved and privy to our recruiting big board and recruiting strategies/plans. Since we are recruiting a lot of the same guys as PSU does he go right to the PSU staff and give all of our recruiting...

    Damien Alford Grad Transferring to Utah

    Probably not connected to this situation but it was interesting hearing Fran talk on the radio the other day about 3 players missing classes and only 1 of them had a legit excuse. I’m assuming those 2 guys were doing a lot of running during winter conditioning. Usually coaches don’t talk about...

    Class of 2024 DL Omar White (GA) Visited for Spring Game

    I’m certainly not advocating that we bring him in unless a lot more information comes out clearing him of charges as well as diminishing his role in the situation but it’s irresponsible of you to post that he killed 3 people when no one was killed. Yes that was a potential result of the...

    Class of 2024 DL Omar White (GA) Visited for Spring Game

    You’re obviously closer to the situation than me but has it clearly been stated that he was shooter and if so shooter for all 3 victims. I had read a bunch about it when we first got Nick Williams looking at which recruits that we could poach and then refreshed the last couple of days and...

    Class of 2024 DL Omar White (GA) Visited for Spring Game

    From what I could find previously the case is still pending. I believe he has been on house arrest with ankle bracelet the entire school year so who knows if he’ll even graduate. It is interesting that Wiltfong would drop this randomly but I’d be very surprised if something happened with us at...

    Hafley leaving BC for NFL

    Correct…he has a son that has special needs who has care in Boston area. It sounds like his family would stay there primarily even if he’s coaching at Ohio State due to the son’s situation. On top of that he’s from Boston and his wife went to BC so I could see him wanting to settle there...

    5 lowers for tonight @ Wake

    Friend of mine has 5 tickets that he can’t use for tonight and I’ve already got commitments so can’t go if anyone is local and on the fence/interested.

    Class of 2025 DE/LB Sharlandiin Strange (PA) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (1/27/24)

    Yeah but the wild thing is this is what’s being fed to them from their publishers/writers.

    Class of 2025 DE/LB Sharlandiin Strange (PA) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (1/27/24)

    Let’s bump this one on top of all these new offers since some action happening soon hopefully. Last Thursday/Friday…..loved his Rutgers visit midweek…they are on top and expecting commitment. They are hoping snow keeps him from visiting CNY but it doesn’t… Today…they are hearing cuse….bad...

    2024 Schedule

    Students will have the option so it’s up to them. Granted I understand the program is currently in a different place but when I was in school (late 90’s) we often had Miami Thanksgiving weekend and still had good student turnouts despite school being out. If we have a good record and...

    Syracuse Jacket

    I believe they issue them apparel to borrow during the visit. Especially with the winter weather I remember they all used wear the large parkas with block S on them in past. Seems like the varsity jackets are new options.

    Class of 2024 CB Koy Beasley (OH) Committed to Purdue

    Today was the final rankings updates for 2-4-7 and r-i-v-a-l-s post end of season all star games etc.

    Junior day ?

    I haven’t looked but I’d assume it’s one of the new additions/early enrollees if on court throwing out tshirts when they introduced them.
  34. OburgCuse

    Class of 2025 DE/LB Sharlandiin Strange (PA) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (1/27/24)

    Yeah but they are still going to have multiple presentations/tours etc so a lot of stuff to fit into a 5 to 6 hour window max including a 2 hour game.

    Class of 2025 SF Sadiq White (NC) Offered

    Looks like he was at Tennessee…

    Class of 2025 DE/LB Sharlandiin Strange (PA) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (1/27/24)

    I’m glad they stayed for the whole thing. I know they will sometimes leave with the recruits early and especially in this situation where only there for the day and so much to show them/do with them before many have long drives home.
  37. OburgCuse

    Class of 2024 DB Kevyn Humes (MD) Committed to Maryland

    Overall I agree and especially with it being the local team but might not be as big of deal here. PSU just got those 2 transfer cb’s in the portal from Georgia/Florida so probably no more room and he had previously stated that was trying to squeeze Maryland in somewhere so might have just...

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

    He’s a combo of Devin Grant and Dion Wilson…one bad dude!!! Welcome Isaiah!!!
  39. OburgCuse

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

    Don’t disagree with you on that! Our Buffalo safety transfer should have been 4star as well based on his production and size at an even higher level than Monmouth if putting such an emphasis on production.
  40. OburgCuse

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

    He was given a transfer rating of 89 which ends up being a high 3 star transfer. I think that’s pretty generous considering he has played in 1 game in 2 years for Alabama. Yes he appears to have a ton of potential and hopefully will do big things for us but can’t imagine them giving him a 4...

    Coach Nitron Stork

    I’m thinking he’ll be assistant db’s coach

    Class of 2020 OL Ibrahim Traore (NY) Portal from Penn State

    Similar to the players coming from Georgia and A&M, the coaches should have good insight into what this guy can do since Kalil Ahmad was at Penn st last year. Win win in these situations as they have already developed relationships most times plus know what the guy can/can’t do.

    New OL Coach: Dale Williams [Official]

    The Dale Williams connection is Nixon. They played together at WVU. Pretty sure he was handpicked by Nixon.

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

    Best JUCO D-lineman that we’ve gotten since…..Eric Downing? A lot to prove to get to that level but there is a lot of potential with Nwokocha.

    Class of 2023 CB AJ Harris (AL) Portal from Georgia to PSU

    Supposedly they were/are expecting both Kimber and Harris so Kimber doesn’t appear to affect anything

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

    His recruiting profile said mid year enrollee so should be good to go for January. Makes sense as he was potentially a ‘23 guy and that’s why he had all those spring offers from big programs but looks like ended up needing to complete 1 more semester (fall 2023).
