CB Duce Chestnut transferring to LSU

[sufandu]

Some bitter folks here. He gave Syracuse two darn good seasons. How many guys can say that. Who wouldn’t want to pay at LSU. Everything about their program is top notch.

Yep. I'm bitter when a guy describes playing those two years as "... it didn't work out coming out of high school." There's a lot he could've said to express he was excited for a new opportunity without making SU sound like a scrub school. Screw him.

Things don't look to be going well for him since the game 1 struggles.

Im not bitter - the article has false information and I don’t even think it’s arguable that the below players were more crucial contributors:

Mikel
Marlowe
Garrett
Jahad
Caleb

He started a shyte storm with the Allen debacle and jump ship two days later. Good riddance to him. I’m glad he’s gone now.

More like Duce Chinnuts, amiright.

Settle down folks. These are not new comments. He said those a while back. And when he said “it didn’t work out coming out of high school” that comment was not directed at SU. He said that regarding wanting to go to LSU out of high school. Pretty sure he still really loves SU but he got an opportunity to play for his so called “dream school”, an elite football school known for producing DB’s and I’m sure got a nice NIL bag. Cant blame him too much. I was very disappointed we lost him but I don’t hate the kid.

But If we do better than LSU this year I wonder if he regrets his decision.

I wonder if he is already given it looks like he's had very few snaps the past two games.

I can understand a kid having a fascination for one particular team growing up. I’m sure all kids do for various unknown reasons. LSU just seems like an odd choice.

Only way he makes it to the NFL is via stubhub

I hope the NIL bag was big and worth it.

I hope the NIL bag was big and worth it.

First, I bet it was. Second, he's definitely going to play in the NFL for at least some amount of time.

 

[SWC75]

Didn't remember him being top rated corner out of high school?

We hadn't started a true frosh corner in forty years before him?

He was our "highest rated recruit in years" per the local media. But that's more of a comment on SU than on Duce, who is surrounded by higher rated recruits at LSU.

Why not try to build something at the school that gave you the opportunity and just as recently put guys in the pro’s?

 

[PhatOrange]

I guess at the end of the day Schiano was right. He’s too slow.

 

[MikeSU02]

Not going to ever tell someone what to do, especially if you can get a big bag, but if you’re trying to get to the nfl, you need to be playing.

If you make one of these jumps to a big boy program, you really need to be certain you can lock in the spot you got.

Especially when the school you’re leaving has a recent track record of putting DBs in the league.

If he can't start at LSU, It would be tough to see him getting time in a NFL game.

He lost his starting job?

 

[Cuse181]

Because his first priority is himself, as it should be. Being a part of “building” a team that has underperformed for 20+ years doesn’t pay the bills

Hes not even playing it seems since the FSU game. Two blowouts and not a single tackle or pd in the box score. Curious if he even got any snaps.

 

[PhatOrange]

He lost his starting job?

He wasn’t a starter to begin with

 

[orangemass]

He can ride pine at his dream school. I’ll ride with Johnson and wilson

 

[Newhouser]

He was overrated here because he was good as a Freshman. He wasn't at a big time school for a reason. What's crazy is how schools can write off bad NIL investments with a shrug.

 

[JRHEETER]

If anyone is bitter here, it’s Duce for ragging on cuse

Good riddance kid

 

[JRHEETER]

He lost his starting job?

He wasn’t even starting.

He came in at the FSU as a back up and made the INT on one of the first plays he was in.

After that they put him in for the remainder of the game and he consistently got torched on double moves

Exactly what he did here
