Cisco possibly out for the season???

Awful awful news. One of the best SU players in many years. Hope he recovers quicker than anticipated.

And before we have a million people chiming in that its just a rumor, yes its just a rumor. But Mike is a well placed source and until SU specifically dispels it, I trust his reporting. Still hope he is wrong though...

 

[Libero2]

To call this terrible news would be an understatement.

sure didn’t look to be in that much pain last weekend. What the heck did he do when he and Hendrix collided?

 

[cuse10]

How do you collide in practice?

 

[rocklloyd]

Hendrix is like Mush from Bronx Tale. “Put him in the bat-troom!”

 

[Trueblue25]

Ugh.

 

[sufandu]

Maybe Hendrix should take his place. If he can do that to a teammate during pregame warmups, he could rock other teams' WRs.

 

[Finwad32]

Even if it was just a scare and he’s not injured, and you’ve got Millions riding on a season - would you risk it? I could never blame him.

Unfortunately this is a very real conversation, I really hope he’s not injured.

 

[Alsacs]

If I were a solid NFL draft pick like Cisco I wouldn’t worry about playing this season in a pandemic.

I hope he just gets healthy and if he doesn’t want to play no problem.

Its a big time questions for someone like Cisco, more so than someone assured to be a 1st round pick. Guaranteed money drops off substantially after the 1st round and declines pretty steadily through the 2nd and 3rd rounds. There's a lot of benefit to ensuring you're picked in the first 2 rounds. Will playing this year push him any higher? Will "season ending injury" label push him down?

 

[sufandu]

He would really benefit from a basketball type rule that would allow him to declare, get evaluated, and then decide what to do.

 

[Bayside44]

He's a real NFL player. Completely understand if this is how it goes.

 

[PhatOrange]

Freak thing during warmups is crazy. I’d sit to. The plus side is they get to prepare a year early without him.

 

[McNabb2Brominski]

The D just went from great to good

 

[Chip]

Our first team All American suffering a season ending injury from a 3rd game warmups collision is the most Syracuse outcome possible.

More swimming in the deep end for the youngsters. One area for optimism is that it should only help the D in the future.

 

[cusefan88]

He can request feedback from the NFL Advisory Board to see where his draft status is. I still think he's a top 100 pick if he shuts it down to be safe.

Just horrible situation. I'm sure Ed Hendrix (who's been hurt a ton) also feels terrible.

 

[USMCSnyper]

Awful for the team and the player. If I were Andre, I'd sit out and wait for the draft.

 

[Finwad32]

The only thing that makes me sad is I’m very confident he would’ve left SU as the all-time INT’s leader in his true JR season.

That’s pretty incredible.

Hope all is well Mr. Cisco!!!

The fact that the other guy on the end of the collision was Hedrix who has been plagued by injuries his entire career but apparently came out unscathed is the most Syracuse outcome possible. At times you think the program is just trolling us with some of this stuff.

Extremely unpopular opinion time.

His absence won't be as significant as it may seem. David Hale was tweeting stats all summer about defensive backs, and Cisco ranked at the bottom of several metrics among ACC DBs (Including one of the worst QBR against in the league). In many ways, Cisco was a liability last year. While he is fantastic when coming up to the ball, he was awful in coverage and got beat over the top repeatedly last year. I was at the Louisville game, and he was picked on the whole time - and got torched numerous times.

Maybe he was victim of scheme and/or worked on that element of his game in the off-season. But the D played the same without him on Saturday.

No it didn't. They forced turnovers, but the inexperience of the youth showed in the run game and their inability to hit and wrap up. They won, but it's wrong to say they didn't skip a beat.

[Cusefan69]

I have seen Cisco in mock drafts as high as the 6th pick. He isn't just a 4th round projection. I can totally understand how that could and would make this injury a wake up call.

 

[Orijinal]

I can't believe this is for real ...
My goodness

It's a fair point. That said, Cisco had 8 tackles against Pitt. Hanna, his replacement, had 9 against GT. I haven't watched the games that closely for various reasons this season, so that's not to say all tackles are created the same.
