Big Ugly NIL

[Cuse4Life]

We need to start a Big Ugly Only NIL. Our offense line is in major need of some actual difference makers. We cannot keep doing this with 3stars. We need some actual big boys who can block. This is going on 20+ years of consistently miserable offensive lines.

 

[Biaxtar]

I would save it for the portal. Fran Brown needs to be uber-aggressive in the portal this year. But I agree some of the O-line products have been disappointing

 

[Cuse4Life]

Totally use on Transfers…can we go back to that Weitsmann commitment on any 5 stars will get a $1M…like Cuse always fumbles these things but need to get him back in the swing of thisb

 

[Orangefan1]

The two teams I do t want to lose to and BC is really not very good but our tackling is horrendous

Wasn't our big transfer OL get our biggest problem?

 

[Aqua2050]

Problem wasn't the Oline as much as inept defensive coaching, as always.

it is hard to make the jump from an FCS school to P4. No more of those transfers. Cant be an ACC programs with talking gambles all of the time!

OL is such a crapshoot. Cuse needs a good pass-rushing DE.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

That one tweet said BC has 3 of PFF's top graded OL in the ACC and they're still a middlin'ish kind of team.

Because they don’t have a QB

Castellanos has been pretty good this season.

They can’t throw for schitt. They’re bizarro cuse.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

They can’t throw for schitt. They’re bizarro cuse.

He came into the game hitting +60% of his passes with like 17 TDs.

 

[hoopsupstate]

For SU to fix their offensive and defensive lines it would cost us close to $10 million in NIL I don’t think that’s going to happen. Everyone wants the same thing. Quarterbacks usually break the bank.

 

[DocFlanders]

Hope for bowls with our bank

We need a uber athletic 1 and 3 shade also on defense at about 315.

OL is the hardest position to project out of HS. Five first round OL picks in the 2024 NFL Draft were rated as 3 stars out of HS by 247 (Barton, Fashanu, Fuaga, Morgan, Guyton.)

We’re yet to see if Brown has a different recruiting philosophy toward the trenches than Dino’s failed “bulk ‘em up” approach, but it’s going to take until year 3 to really see.

He can be as aggressive as he wants, but if there isn’t NIL $ to support it, those efforts will fall flat.

How much money are in the NIL collectives for football at Syracuse? Anyone have an idea?

Yeah. Major swing and a miss

The various collectives are important. The real drivers in NIL at SU are very large individual donor(s).

Only if BigNastyJon is spearheading it.

Based on the 2025 recruits they are getting OL (DL) who are already pretty dang big. I see:

6-4 325
6-4 285
6-6 355
6-7 380

You get the idea. There are a few lighter guys but they seem to have prioritized guys who probably need to lose a few lbs vs gain a ton.

Given Fran has a relationship with Will Muschamp, I really hope he follows Muschamp’s philosophy of “just look at their backsides.”
