Looks like a weeks worth of food. No wonder these guys are getting bigger.

Looks like SU has a new nutritionist.

From the Little Gem Diner?

Really like to see Jamie Tremble loading up with 3 plates. Hopefully he can make some big gains. We need him to step up big in 2025.

 

[LeMoyneCuse]

Exactly! Which makes me feel gullible and naive.
First off, Dino did a great job selling his vision. He is a likable guy from afar. But, remember his sales pitch on how advanced the S&C program would be bc The Orange Is The New Fast. We would train our players in such a way that is so specialized that we would just wear the other team down.
It was a sales pitch that was believable but had absolutely no evidence to back it up & coach knew he was full of hot air.
1 thing I learned from Dino...when you dont have a good answer to a question during an interview, change the subject and quote movies...it works.
Its telling the S&C guy is unemployed now based on a websearch.

I saw a van for a company called Dino’s Balloons this morning. AKA Syracuse football knees 2016-2023.

If he's half as productive stats wise as Gadsden was last season, which I don't think is crazy, Tremble would still have one of the more prolific seasons in school history for a TE.

And I think Tremble will be a legit TE right away, whereas it took Gadsden until this last season to really put a finger in the dirt.

Gadsden was pretty good in space TE. He had issues with physical D getting to his spots. His blocking was Ok.. He occupied guys but didn't really control his blocks all that well.

Lots of Pro TEs are space guys now though.

Trimble showed more burst the few times he actually ran routes. He might be more dynamic if not as consistent.

2021 Gadsden had 2 catches
2022 had 61
2023 barely played
2024 had a great year with 73.

I would be happy if we get 30 catches this year. But we only got a handful from the other TEs We might get 10+ from 2-3 guys this year and get 40-50 from the TE instead of 70 from 1 and 6-7 from the rest.

I see Tremble being a receiving threat right away. It will be his Sophomore year. Gadsden only had two catches for 24 yds his freshman season and then broke out in his Sophomore season as well. But I don't see Tremble being very productive with his hand in the dirt at this stage, similarly to how Gadsden wasn't. Tremble was listed at 6'-4" and 208 lbs this past season. I don't see him being big enough yet to be effective on the line.

Agree with this. Although I can see Tremble getting more than 30 receptions. I'm thinking more like 40-50. I don't really see Villari or Clement getting many catches at all and we will need solid receiving production from Tremble. Villari is a really good athlete and runner but he seems lacking in route running and receiving skills.

Maybe we should tone down the eggs and put some more money into NIL.

 

[Qbobby]

Yeah, OG is more of a hybrid TE, more upright and maybe in between a TE and a slot WR. A physical TE that can block and still be a catching threat will be super valuable in this offense.

Anyone else feel like this team is small?

I assume you mean would be. We don't have one of those and both guys in the 2025 class, Bacheyie and Bowman are 205 and 210 lbs.

Yeah I do feel that way in some respects.

Why do you think this team is small? To what are you comparing this team?

New football dining hall is now open.

Syracuse has nice dining halls. I was at the game vs Ohio and while walking towards the Dome, I wondered into some random dining hall because I had to use the restroom. When I came out of the bathroom, I grabbed a plate and ate a bunch. Food was great! I couldn't believe Syracuse offers free bathrooms AND free buffets to its fans!

I remember him being a beast while watching his HS tape and I think he will put it all together this year. Stud.

This thread makes me so much happier than reading the basketball forum at the moment.
