Class of 2018 C/OG Tyrone Sampson Portal from Fresno St

[OrangeXtreme]

Would you rather know today that he's not coming, or find out on Feb 7?

 

[Toga]

I'll be needing my RBs now.

 

[RF2044]

Based on that I don't see the need for "board insiders" to play coy. Sounds like a bunch of crap tbh.

Indiana and Cincinnati???? Are you kidding me?

If something can't be posted on a message board, don't be cryptic about it. I know why guys that Boeheim went after didn't come here, but I didn't leave crumbs then hide my hands, because of the same questions you guys are getting now. Everyone wants to be an insider but can't handle what comes with it.

You can lead a horse to water, but if the horse is too busy having a temper tantrum or too stupid to take the hint, then that's on them.

Couldn't care less about being an insider. Was attempting to quell the rumors, but ended up fanning the flames for a very small number of posters.

Indiana sticks the shiv in again. Seems like the Hoosiers have become our chief rival on the recruiting trail.

What ever happened to LeRay Smith, anyway?

It's ok for someone that has more information to shut down rumors without telling the whole story. A bunch of people were jumping to the "bigger school, family situation, etc" conclusions before somebody said they were wrong.

But... OUTRAGE RAWR!!!!!!!

Scholastics.

I just watched Chance Amie's highlight reel. Doesn't matter to me who plays center.

 

[CuseInNOLA]

Would have loved to have him, but personally, there's so much wrong going on in the world that an 18 year old not coming here isn't going to ruin my day. Best of luck to Ty in his future!

 

[sdhall01]

Ugh, this makes me pretty sad. He seemed so excited to join us and we really could have used him. Alas. Maybe he'll sign in February, but I'm not holding my breath.

 

[richmondcuse03]

I have no inside knowledge, but based on some logical reasoning and what has been posted / said by the coach...there are a number of reasons why someone may be forced to stay closer to home, even if they don't want to. And it's not always mom/dad forcing the issue. People forget these are kids who often grow up in different ways than we have and stuff happens that complicates life. I'm just totally guessing but respect the kid's privacy and what he has to do. Sounds like he was above board with the coaching staff and it's a situation between them. He didn't spring it on them and I respect that. Move on.

Maybe you should sit this one out, champ.

Funny - I was just thinking the same thing about you.

Yes Sampson is a loss (if indeed that scholarship has sailed). But we are most likeky set at QB for the next few years ED, TD and now Chance. What an unexpected flip - from his backyard to snow country. Mighty pleased to restart a Texas pipeline (w/Allison) and score some real athletic talent.
I know one thing: this staff employed maximum effort to identify, recruit and sign this 18 year old kid. That it didn't happen (yet?) is attributable to God knows what and as much as I deplore it I'm accepting it and moving on to our other dynamic, committed athletes. This blip will soon be forgotten against a backdrop of future events (a bowl game, some unannounced recruiting coup for '18 or some other SU Football achievment). This is a terrific class w/o (as I can tell) any deadwood.
At least that's what I tell myself...LGO.

 

[Easy Goer]

Is Syracuse now completely out in February or is there still a chance he could sign here?

Although to answer my own question a bit, has a kid ever decommitted and then signed back with the school they decommitted from?

[ArchDuke]

This has a slight odor of Tucker. No inside info, and like most things in life, I’m likely wrong. But I can’t for the life of me figure out something more likely based on what’s been noted here. I hope I’m completely wrong, if only for TS’s sake. Feeling pretty down for something that doesn’t impact me personally. Hope everything works out best for the kid, truly.

 

[DoctorBombay]

Scholastics.

Ugggh!
In defense of the “insiders” and their seemingly cryptic posts, i will admit that i too hated it sometimes when info was drip drip dripping out on the forum w/out a concrete or definitive statement.
I learned to live with it.
Some news CANNOT or SHOULD NOT be shared on a public forum, so listing what it ISN'T might be the final option.
I always tell my daughter that “patience is a virtue, but it’s easier to preach than to practice”.
Eventually we’ll find out what went down, but in the interim we’re left w/ this: AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGH!

 

[texascpa]

Wait, Chance flipped to us? Off to his thread...

 

[DPCuse]

I have no knowledge but it feels like something happened in his personal life that has altered his path and I respect that. And none of that is our business. Hopefully it's something that can be worked out and he can get back to his commitment to Cuse.

 

[FreakTalksAboutSU]

MY gut says, the school is out because the school chose to be out. Reminds me of Colt Brennan. Not saying he has done anything like Brennan did, although he may have for all I know, but I feel like the school has made the decision here more than the player.

 

[sufandu]

I'm disappointed that it looks like he won't be snapping the ball to TD or CA. Hopefully, it's a situation where he can find his way back. If not, he'll fade into the past. Good luck to him... as long as it's not against us.

Yes. I have seen a few of those situations today for other programs.
