2026 Potential Roster / Portal Entries

[FloridaCuse]

I’m not slamming him. I’m just keeping it real. We need another QB who’s proven or one with serious upside like St. Clair or Minchey, and let them battle it out. Don’t just hand the job over, make it earned. QB1 shouldn’t be a participation trophy handed out by default.

It seems like you are slamming him. Angry even. I doubt anyone here disagrees that we need more than a viable QB2. I doubt few have a problem letting there be a battle for QB1 (though I'd prefer not to hear HCFB again say it is so tight I don't know how to choose). It just seems though that you're personally slamming Steve in a way that isn't necessary to make your point. That's what's baffling.

Ignore button works wonders FYI

Unreal. Now Angeli is the next McCord? Yeah he “started slow” vs Tennessee then lit up UConn and Colgate.

He threw for 274 yards against Tennessee. He had a pick, but it was more than a solid outing

 

[XC Cuse]

He also threw a pick and coughed up a fumble that had UConn in front until we rallied late. And now you are acting like he was headed for 350 against Clemson? Please. That’s pure hype. Just as likely he was headed for a pick six or a scoop and score that would’ve changed the game. Stop acting like he’s the savior.

What? How was he headed for a pick six or fumble. Just an odd statement. He lit Clemson up

This is another example of when "keeping it real goes very wrong."

Not necessary. I still want to read what he posts.

 

[djorange1989]

Like I said, I’m just keeping it real. He’s a professional athlete pulling in at least a million a year, he can handle a little criticism. All I care about is winning, and that Tennessee game still sticks with me.

It was his first freaking game after transferring here in May. He definitely stole your girlfriend

 

[djorange1989]

No he didn’t. It was also Aguilar’s first game after transferring from UCLA.

The Aguilar who had 850 career passes to 80 for Angeli before this season? The Aguilar who was facing our garbage defense?

 

[djorange1989]

Kicking tail and taking names. For the record I fought the hype on Collins and said don’t get excited, he reminded me of another SEC transfer, Del Rio-Wilson, and got slammed. Turns out I was right.

Meanwhile, Angeli was good in his 4 games and you are constantly sh**ing on him. Congrats, you’re wrong here, offsetting your brilliant Collins analysis

 

[powdersmack]

I’d trim the DL budget.

 

[XC Cuse]

How do you think Angelo’s outing was,, compared to Aguilar’s?

How was Aguilar's supporting cast and defense he played against compare?

It's pretty obvious everything around Aguilar was better, and he got to play against a crap defense.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Spoke to Rich Belin’s uncle and he said he will be back next year.

There are a lot of posts I'm skipping on here. Not yours but one person who repeats the same idea all the time, and won't stop.

 

[AZOrange]

Kenny minchey ain’t coming here

 

[tbonezone]

i'd bet some big programs come poaching samuels and deslauriers and maybe willis .
gonna be loyalty vs. $$$$.

 

[HRE Otto IV]

The more I think about it Nixon as OC is a must next year. We have no talent on D. Even with a competent DC we will be in the Top 60-75 range. So we need the O to carry us. Nixon gives us the best chance of that.

 

[Ttk.gman2]

Got most of the guys we want coming back. Have an elite recruiting class coming in need to have a top 20 portal class if we want to compete for a ACC championship. Also need to make staff changes as well.

 

[Ttk.gman2]

What he said

 

[Acesn8s]

We need to hammer the portal for D lineman, I would be scouring the country and overpay a bit at the expense of other positions if need be, we absolutely can not be this bad at Dline again. I’m confident QB will take care of itself, but this maybe the worst Dline I have seen in my 27 years of being a season ticket holder.

Three of Syracuse’s best defenders confirm plans to return for 2026 season

Syracuse had a good read on which offensive players were returning heading into Saturday's season finale. Now, the defense is starting to take shape.

Syracuse, N.Y. — Three of Syracuse’s top young defensive players said they will return to the Orange in 2026 following Saturday’s season-ending loss to Boston College.

Freshman linebacker Antoine Deslauriers and sophomores Chris Peal and Jamie Tremble all confirmed their plans to return, giving the Orange more cornerstone pieces for next year’s defense.

Good news. It’s a short list but the main guys all seem to be coming back. Now fix both lines and get new coaches on the OL and D coordinator

 

[Acesn8s]

I wouldn’t care if the only offensive position we spent $$ on is QB, and center, the rest of the NIl budget goes to Dline and at least one proven linebacker, expensive for sure but absolutely a necessity!

I don’t think that is too far off. Skill positions are fine minus backup QBs. D line HAS to be totally overhauled, OL needs more than just a center

 

[outoftownie]

a question about the NIL budget. If you are a major individual donor, say kicking in $250k a year, and fran comes asking for more money to help get some linemen. Are you really going to give him more cash after this debacle of a season? I can almost understand 3-9 with a tough schedule but it was the way we got there and they team absolutely following their coaches and mailing the last two months in.
