A Look at Next Season…

[SanDiegoCuse]

LB, Safety, Center, Edge and QB. Retain young WR and DT’s with NIL.

 

[UpstateSM]

Is this is it for LeQuint? Apparently walked or whatever last week and was at the end of the "what will you miss about Syracuse" video the football account posted. Wouldn't be too crazy as a running back. Think he could find a place as a third down back.

 

[Acesn8s]

I think Lequint is done, shelf life for RB is small, if he has a chance to make a roster should try now.

I don’t think he improves his draft stock with another year. He is what he is - I think he could be a solid third down back in the nfl in right system. Good blocker. Great out of the backfield receiving. Strong hands. Tough as nails. He strikes me as a guy who can make it as an UDFA even. And he’s got his degree.

He could probably make more in NIL next year? Maybe?

 

[Moontan]

As it should be. much healthier than the other board.

What other board?
This is it.

 

[Niastri]

Honestly I like the interior of the line. Perry, Watson, Wilson (who i think can medical redshirt), plus Fuentes-Cundiff and Nwochoka. And maybe Hastings can play inside.

I'm more concern about edge pass-rushing vs interior.

Nwokocha is listed at 310lbs and runs faster than the average NFL linebacker... I am surprised he didn't play at all this year.

If his measurables, particularly his speed, in his recruiting thread are correct, he could be a solid defensive end or even edge. Some of his highlights were wild, running down guys 100 lbs lighter sideline to sideline.

Maybe academics

 

[JrodCuse]

I thought Ross-Simmons was a 1 yr rental so that’s very exciting we get another year with him.

I love how everyone is assuming we get a vet QB in the portal. From all reports Jakhari is killing it as second string. Why not run him out there with the schedule we have. It’s gonna be a tough year, but will benefit from it and give us three more years as the man. Next year is a pass given the gauntlet

We will see him starting in our bowl game.

With how many got hurt this year still say we need 1 stud nt or 3 shade. Also a fast explosive end.

I have a feeling we are going to see many surprises out of last year's class as well as this year's. Lots of size and speed together with very good coaches.
I will be surprised if Luke is ready. Jakhari and Michael will be a step down but the OLine might be a step up.
With our SEC like schedule I think anything more than 7 wins will be one heck of a coaching job. But it's Fran we're talking about here.
Just means CFP will have to wait until 2026.
LGO!

We might be satisfied to wait until 2026, but I don't believe Fran will be. He will look at the schedule as a perfect storm to get into the CFP.

My biggest concern is replacing production and leadership on both sides of the ball.

Kyle, Laquint, OG, Pena, Meeks, Big General, all gone that is about 95% of the Offensive production this year and the leaders of our team.

On D you have Wax Justin Fadil just to name a few. Next year is a gauntlet and we are going to need some of the young guns to really step up both on and off the field.

This is why the portal is make or break. Can’t rely on 1st and 2nd year players no matter how much upside they have.

Pena? Why is he gone?

I‘m not sure there isn’t a chance LQA comes back.

 

[721Comstock]

LQA did the Senior Walk.

IIRC Peña did too?

While both have the option to return if they do choose, it seems like very low probability.

They can both go pro if they want. I hope that they are both back.

Lol you are probably right!

 

[shu 49]

Pena did NOT.

Ididnt think so

Pffft
This years schedule was easy...BS
Pffft
Next years schedule is a gauntlet... who knows now?

Our "easy schedule" this year was tough enough to tie us for 3rd in ranked wîns which is more than half of the teams în the playoff.

We traveled to the opposite coast twice and won both. We may have lost our 3 easiest games not coùntîng... Holy Cross?Im old...

We will fînd out at the end of next year how tough our schedule is. I reckon itll be fairly easy when all is said ànd done.
We get up for those tough games that give us " bulletin board" material. I know Im crazy for thinking bulletin board material is real.lol DAs


Write this down...Gameday and possibly host a playoff game next year. I mean come on, Dabo & Clemson players were just shouting out Fran Brown, Fran Brown, Fran MFin Brown on natTV after winning ACC Championship.

Thats called BUZZ, hot, Espn will be left with no choice. Obviously we gotta win, but we are set up to impress.
I honestly dont care if they come but for alot of people that could be a turnîng point for fàndom.
Which is great but I honestly hate it when I just have to piss with 9 min left în the 2nd quarter and we are driving in an excitîng moment...
I have to run up there real quick and the concourse is crowded, a line for troughs and people chatting around hangîng in the middle of the walking lanes like there strolling through the park and were commenting on someones cute dog. Are You Lost!?

If I could do 1 thing for the next phase of dome improvement...
I would paint lines throughout côncourse formîng a track or road. Put up signs like you are on a highway establishing appropriate directions, rest areas, texting pulloffs, picnic areas, yields, one ways, do not enters, no loittering etc.
Upon reentering sections there would be a red light during a play.
Maybe in the trough room an electrical zap on the standing penises in the poop stalls.
why? Its hard to miss the trough but after the the beginnîng of 2nd qtr it looks like noone even tried to pee înside of the poop toilets, looks like a sword fight went down.
If its you, you're an ass.

Thats all.
