Message: [QUOTE="OrangeXtreme, post: 5578808, member: 41"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.syracuse.com/orangefootball/2025/11/veteran-wide-receiver-says-hell-return-to-syracuse-in-2026.html[/URL] [I]Gill said he has joined Angeli, Cook and sophomore running back Yasin Willis in conversations about preparing for next season. All four said the biggest thing is getting Syracuse’s new players assimilated faster than they did in 2025. Gill said he thinks Syracuse took too long to get prepared for the season. Now that the offense will have its core players returning, though, he thinks spring ball will be more productive. “We already know the structure now,” Gill said. “We already know how it’s not supposed to be and how to work. Like Coach Fran always says, we know how to work from all the seniors this year. Nobody will be able to stop us.” Cook shared the same sentiment about spring practices and said he believes Syracuse would have competed for an ACC championship if Angeli were healthy. Cook did not, however, commit to returning next season when asked Tuesday. He said he will meet with Brown next week and let his agent handle “the business” side of the discussions. Cook said he feels as though he’s gotten everything he’s wanted out of Syracuse in 2024 and that Brown has kept his word about everything. Both Gill and Cook have NFL aspirations, and they both have been pleased with Josh Gattis replacing Myles White as Syracuse’s wide receivers coach/passing game coordinator. Gattis recruited Cook out of high school, and both Gill and Cook credited Gattis for his meticulous attention to detail. “He’s a perfectionist,” Cook said. “He looks at me in the same light as Henry Ruggs, Jerry Jeudy, Nico Collins. And he coaches me in the same light as those guys because he sees some of the same qualities.” Gill now joins Angeli, Willis, freshman guard Byron Washington and freshman cornerback Demetres Samuel Jr. as players who have confirmed their plans to return to Syracuse next year.[/I] [/QUOTE]
