Hair? What about arms?!?!?

You mean “guns”. Concealed carry.

Stonehouse has my hair circa 1981

He's got my mustache from when I did porn.

Syracuse plugs a roster hole with lineman seeking NFL chance and to cash in on free agency

After spending four years at Louisville, Austin Collins came to Syracuse to play center and participate in one round of college football free agency.

Why is our punter the coolest guy on the team? Wild.

Two words..."Porn Stache ". Presumably by coolestguy you mean coolest guy sporting a 1970s look? By the way the king of mustaches says hold my beer.

This thread is taking a turn for the better! Motivating me to shave the beard and leave a Fu Manchu

I have to ask the question ... "Do these guys actually watch the games?" their biggest concern should be their running game ... Sampson is gone and the guys behind him weren't nearly as impressive. Nico only threw for 2700 yards ... its not like their QB situation was lights out to begin with but your biggest offensive thread from last season didn't hit the portal, he is on an NFL roster and would have been a nightmare for us to contend with. Aguilar in his career has played against 2 P4 schools and his performance was miserable in both. In aggregate a sub 50% completion percentage, their offense is going to be subpar at best. Unless frosh David Sanders Jr is as good as his rating they will have a tough time protecting Aguilar on top of it all.

It's a good thing for Joey to break in against ERob. He won't have to worry about blitzes, stunts, or any kind of pressure. Prove me wrong ERob. Prove me wrong.

Syracuse’s Fran Brown on Johntay Cook II following transfer, offseason arrests: ‘I love who he is’

Cook will be one of the highest-ranked high school players ever to play for Syracuse.

McDonald must do something right you guys have criticized him for four years and he still plays

He is rangy and smart. That makes up a couple of tenths

 

[kcsu]

My concern watching the “bush dive” clip was the potential for an eye injury due to a branch or debris.

At least we know our punter is safe.

Really looking forward to seeing him live. Have heard very high praise for him. He’s the type of guy you just get the ball to with a little bit of space and he can make things happen. Like that Fran is talking him up. He can be a NFL pick after this year so hopefully he puts up a monster year.

From what I’ve heard he made one dumb decision. The weed thing is silly. Only in Texas does that happen.

Well, he's got me beat by a long shot if he's only made one dumb decision.

Agree. And he makes all the players look big.

Buxton is a great interviewee, enjoyed this.

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

I was watching College Football Live on ESPN yesterday and they were talking about Tennessee. They mentioned that Syracuse was going to be a very tough game and that the Orange are on the way up.

 

[CuseMan4]

He's not.

Agreed. It’s our kicker Jayden Oh

Pete Nakos?!? Who is he?

Really Pete? I question this source for this information.

Pete is a very reliable recruiting source. Not sure of his reliability on this sort of thing though.

I'm curious to know how we are handling the DE positions and what the depth chart will look like. With Jobity near 300 lbs and now moving inside we are very thin there. Even Jaylen Pray is listed at 290 lbs. Really seems like we should have brought in another DE from the portal. Staying healthy with that group could be very significant. I assume Jacquez, David O and Reese will get the most run by far.

I would guess Lesaine will be dropping down on the line as he is listed at 6'-4" and 250 lbs.
Could maybe Caden Brown? He is just 6'-4" and 225 though. But I think it was stated he was actually getting snaps at the STAR so moving the other way.
Are we going to play big some of the time and Jobity also gets snaps at DE or a guy like Hastings plays some DE at 310? or Perry or EFC as both of them are at 295?
Or maybe if a starter gets injured, its more likely McDonald gets moved down to DE at some point in the season?
Anybody hear about how Nyandoro is looking? Seems hard to count on a freshman contributing much at DE.

DE
Denis Jacquez Jr.
Jahide Lesaine Jr.
Jaylen Pray

DE
David Omapariola Or
David Reese
Nathan Nyandoro
