CB Duce Chestnut transferring to LSU

[Tango32]

This week needs to chill

 

[Biaxtar]

Probably means we are out on 2024 Willy Love. This one hurts real bad, hope he succeeds elsewhere.

 

[GoSU96]

Oh man

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Nope. It’s true. Lots of back door NIL deals going on. He loves Cuse but money talks.

Feels to me like the money talks a lot louder when your DC heads out and who fills a really critical spot that can make or break your college career is a bit of a mystery.

 

[Sudano]

I am sincerely struggling to remain a Syracuse Football Fan or maybe more accurately a college football fan...this isn't college football, it's just another version of Professional Football that already exists with NFL. Call me out dated, call me old...but I'm a fan of some level of commitment between students who play football and Universities. I have a lifelong emotional commitment to MY university and I bleed orange. How can I root for players who look at my University that I treasure as a one night stand and not a lifelong partner. Just venting.

 

[shu 49]

oh well, keep keeping on. Next man up.

 

[Trueblue25]

I’ll have faith so long as the podcast trio stay. Duce hurts but we can pull in and plug the cb position.

it talks loudest either way

 

[OttoinGrotto]

it talks loudest either way

No doubt.

I'm just remembering Duce seemed to have the first public response from a defensive player to the White news.

 

[Sudano]

I don't. I hope he struggles on the football field and doesn't get drafted. Just being honest. He quit on us, I didn't quit on him. I can never truly quit SU football because I'm so emotionally tied to it. I'm struggling because they changed, I didn't change.

 

[CuseMan4]

Just goes to show how special of kids Mikel Jones, Tucker and Garrett Williams. All 3 could have taken some good NIL deals elsewhere and transferred but they didn’t.

Nothing against Duce and I appreciate what he did for us here at Cuse. But just goes to show those three I mentioned first don’t come around often. Really suck for Duce cause he legitimately could have been one of the great cornerbacks to play here and would have left a lasting legacy, continued the pipeline of Cuse secondary players in the NFL and continued playing for the swag daddy but he took the money. Nothing wrong with that, just some peoples priorities are different than others for a multitude of reasons.

 

[djorange1989]

we will be ok, this staff has been great and coaching up DBs, we will keep doing that and keep bringing dudes in. with all that being said, it still blows

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I'll ask the dumb question - any chance this helps us keep Wilson? Or has that ship already sailed?

 

[Bulldog04]

I don't. I hope he struggles on the football field and doesn't get drafted. Just being honest. He quit on us, I didn't quit on him.

Rooting against a 19 year old kid to fail lol. Wow that’s pretty insane as an adult to do

 

[djorange1989]

I don't. I hope he struggles on the football field and doesn't get drafted. Just being honest. He quit on us, I didn't quit on him.

look, it sucks, but football is a sport where your next game could easily be your last, there is no question he is being offered a lot of cash, cash that will really help him and his family. I personally wish him well. I hate that he left, but I wish him well

Entering the portal just means that you wish to be contacted by other schools...

but yeah, they gone.

 

[FasterCuse]

Guy bit on too many stop and go routes anyway. Next man up!

LGO!

 

[Newhouser]

Thought Deuce was better last year, but obviously a big hit.

 

[rocklloyd]

oh well, keep keeping on. Next man up.

Exactly.

Oh no doubt. Tony White's departure had to influence this too. Duce got offers last year as well.

[JKinPhilly]

It's the new world order...get used to it

 

[Roger N]

I don’t have any use for this NIL crap if a good player leaves because he can sell more jerseys
Very short sighted on the player’s part. How many pieces of silver are we talking about?

 

[UpstateSM]

Weitsman still offering that million this off-season? Seems like this would be a nice place for it.

 

[Orangefizz]

It is so frustrating as a fan to root for major college football. Free agency should be left to professional athletes, not college athletes.
