It’s almost March, and... it’s happened. I’m optimistic about Suracuse University Football.

 

[orangenauburn]

Very good get

 

[Chip]

May have to sit this year, unless that rule gets waived

The more we get, the less likely that rule gets passed.

We are very unpopular portal pounders.

 

[Ozone!]

 

[LeMoyneCuse]

Would love to know more about his story. His tape is impressive. How did he end up out there?

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Seems to me a current NFL coach sending his son to SU can only be seen as a positive.

 

[orangemass]

Nice snag by the staff. Immediately comes in to compete. Sweet!

Nice swag

[OrangeinBoston]

That's great. Still hoping for a DT.

 

[Orangejet]

Nice p/u and love his aggressiveness.

 

[BANYC]

Nice swag

Is he immediately eligible, or does he have to be approved by NCAA?

Also same question re: Sharader, does also have to be approved by NCAA or is he immediately eligible?

 

[Trueblue25]

Hopefully an immediate positive impact like Jordan Martin

I believe where things stand now they would need to be approved.

 

[CuseLegacy]

Unless it's a Grad Transfer all other transfers have to sit.

NCAA hurry up and pass immediate eligibility for all these kids.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Unless it's a Grad Transfer all other transfers have to sit.

NCAA hurry up and pass immediate eligibility for all these kids.

Coming off the Covid year, one would think they would be pretty lenient.

That said, given that last season they allowed everyone to maintain a year of eligibility, I would have thought every transfer would be immediately eligible since it wouldn't have affected anything, but they didn't approve Bleich, so...

 

[OrangeAl]

Seeing as his school didn't field a team in 2020, perhaps he'll get instant eligibility. The NCAA is bound to be very understanding, aren't they?

 

[orangencpolice]

How many years would he have to play at SU if he played as a true Freshman at NMSU and the 2020-21 season was canceled?

3?

 

[All4SU]

Is he immediately eligible, or does he have to be approved by NCAA?

Also same question re: Sharader, does also have to be approved by NCAA or is he immediately eligible?

Considering NMSt didn’t even play this year, I have to think the NCAA would grant immediate eligibility. I mean would they really punish the kid and make him sit another year as a result of COVID? Even with a Syracuse guy that seems extreme.

 

[kcsu]

Nice job by the staff. Lots of important players returning, very strong Feb recruiting add what looks to be 2 very strong hires and next season is looking good.

Just don't rationalize the transfer with anything negative about the previous school and he will be approved. That's what derailed Bleich.

Justin Fields say uh...nope.

 

[Consigliere]

Justin Fields say uh...nope.

Guess it's not what you say, but how you say it

 

[orangemass]

Starts on other side of G Williams?
