Could be a nice weapon for the playoffs

That would be a stretch! Get this one right and take the time

Hopefully there is an insurance policy written to cover whatever NIL and other sums he’s getting.

He's not playing a snap this season. SU's just going through the motions, he's done until 27.

I can’t imagine there is, his deals aren’t performance based or at least they aren’t supposed to be

Ok I get it, this is ALL an early april fools joke.

GOOD ONE SU!!!


that's my cope and you can't tell me differently!!

Yep

As you should know, Syracuse isn’t permitted to announce the specific injury. I’ve heard Achilles or ACL.

Saw a pic of him with his right ankle taped, so good guess.

Do you understand that it has worked and failed both ways? Let the coaches evaluate the players and just admit that you haven't got a clue how much a prospective player will contribute.

But you do? I haven’t assumed anything about his success or failure, just that his performance so far doesn’t scream potential NFL player. It’s others who are saying because he was a mediocre MAC player he’s bound to be good here. Maybe so, maybe not, but either way I doubt he’ll ever be on an NFL roster.

Already having surgery

That makes it clear it's the Achilles and not an ACL.

 

[Scooch]

We seem to be having a achillies issue. need to get off turf.

LOL. Tell that to the NBA players.

When have we ever received a WR transfer that has already has excellent stats before getting here, like you seem to expect? Those types of guys in the portal typically go for a lot of money and to the big money schools. Nobody knows if he is surely going to be great. But his stats are from his redshirt Sophomore season so he is young. He only had 5 catches for 54 yds through the first 4 games of the season before starting to produce a bit more for whatever reason. his starting QB of a weak group went down week 8. You have to project the trendline from what they have done so far. That includes age/experience, production and at what level the production was against. As well as measurables and what you have seen on the field in games. And i'll point out that we have had several WR's that were great for us that were not quite sure fire NFL players even after those great seasons. Alec Lemon, Ismael, Custis, Amba Eta-Tawo, Meeks etc.

Its not a major jump in projection to think that Cole could produce at a high level in our offense with another year of offseason training, additional new coaching at SU and a year already under his belt. I think its fairly likely he will be solid this year.

There are two sides to it I guess. Does he still get paid (or get paid less) if he's out for the year. I would think that's covered in the NIL contract. If he still gets paid the reduction in NIL value to the payor I'd think would be an insurable interest

I would think it's all paid out, especially when he does a fan meet up and stuff like that he can still do.

You’re certainly entitled to your thoughts. I don’t believe we’ve ever had a guy with mediocre stats at a mid level program become someone who produces “at a high level”. But I guess we’ll see.

Maybe but I’m fairly certain It cant be tied to performance whatsoever
