2023-24 Portal

I was hoping this young man would make himself available.

Now that he's out there we should send the OC and OL coach to sell the offense and the program to him.

Oops...



Does JW need to reevaluate the budget for assistant coaches and support staff?

Enron dollars.

Is that related to Bitcoin?

They improved by three wins. It takes time to rebuild.

If Sanders is as good as advertised, he would have improved last year's roster by 3 games.

He also had an offensive line worse that the NY Giants.

Have to get this kid, Robinson was his secondary recruiter and brown recruited him to Georgia.

When is the official last year of the Covid kids?

 

[GoSU96]

Sorry but I'm a fan and for fans, all this garbage stinks. These kids all get a stipend that is much more comfortable than you think. If they want big money, then declare for the draft. NIL and the no wait transfer rule is destroying College football whether you want to believe it or not.

This stuff will sort out and settle down. Might take a couple of cycles but there will enough bad stories and there will enough real compensation data that rationality will be injected into the market.

Freshman in 2020 (the Covid year, and not counted). 21, 22, 23, 24. So, I think next year's seniors will be the last group. Unless one of those 4 seasons was a redshirt?

Yeah that's what I thought then you have the guys that also had injuries or some circumstance that seems to add a year.

Maybe some of the OL he ran off turned out to be better than the ones he brought in.

Diggs is also a Jersey kid. I wonder if there is any mutual interest?

Whatever Elko was offering Elijah Robinson, it wasn't close to enough.
He's got a mass exodus on his hands.

Agreed, and also can't underestimate the brotherhood he and Fran share. Is working out quite nicely for us.

 

[RyanCuse44]

If we get an influx of Texas A&M transfers are we going to be called the Syracuse Orange Aggies.

 

[Cusesky8214]

Jeesh...Elko going to have to bring in some bodies

Of course they're following him on social, he was their coach/recruiter.

 

[EuclidBred]

FWIW…I would be shocked if Diggs wasn’t wearing Orange next year…

 

[CuseFan]

I have not been this excited about Recruiting, since... ever!

Have we ever had 6-7 4 stars visit in the same weekend? Not sure if we've had 2 on the same weekend in the past 20 years.

People need to stop thinking that players are greedy, disloyal, or abandoned their team if they test the portal. In the pros, if someone tests free agency and comes back, people don't get bent out of shape.

For a lot of kids, their college years are going to make a big chunk of the earning potential for an extremely valuable and time-limited skill. There's nothing wrong with testing the portal to see what they're worth, and then making the decision that's in their best interest.

As long as they're 100% bought in to helping the team win once they make a decision, nobody should fault them for trying to find out what they're worth and go get it.

and here i thought they were going to college for a free education
