Class of 2025 DE Javion Hilson (FL) Portal to Va Tech

[Capt. Tuttle]

Clearly, he liked the academics and they had his major.

If journalism, then yes

 

[BomberOrange]

Emily must've given him a bag.

 

[OrangeFreek]

Some booster have him a bag of cash.. But it is his life.. will be in the portal soon enough

A bag of bathroom selfies

I mean, they went 9-3 in the SEC this year. Let's not act like he chose Buffalo.

 

[rackman18]

His perfect fit was the bag fit his hand.. He didn't have them in his top 4 but yet it just felt like a perfect fit. I have perfect land down here in Florida that would be a good fit also. roflmao

No Buffalo is way better

I'm sure every other school says the same about SU when Fran lands kids over their school now. Just reads as a lot of sour grapes. And it's legal, so we should've dropped a bigger bag if we wanted him I guess?

I mean, the only team they beat that had a winning record was Boston College.

 

[DPCuse]

You know what...let these prized recruits go grab their money in the SEC years 1 and 2. Then transfer to Cuse for playing time year 3 and get to the NFL. I'm ok with that.

Normally I’d agree with you, but when you sign with a school that wasn’t even mentioned in a top 5 you put out a week ago, it probably means you got paid when you’re a top 100 recruit.

Which is fine. But as a coach, I would be watching that person closely for dedication, commitment, being all-in, etc.

It is sour grapes.. Maybe next year ‘Cuse will get that coveted 5*****.. Its only been 20 plus years lol.

Like I said he wasn't even in his top 4 going in yesterday. And there are some sour grapes and they are some of my sour grapes, which anyone wishes to feel that way is their perogative. Never said it wasn't legal. And I'm sure every other schools think we do the same thing especially if they know anything about SU. (We don't have that kind of money)lol

Or Rutgers

 

[djorange1989]

I mean, the only team they beat that had a winning record was Boston College.

Not everyone can have two top 25 wins and all of their wins(not including FCS) against bowl teams.. wow, that hypothetical team from a cold and snowy Northeastern state is impressive

 

[TexanMark]

Clearly, he liked the academics and they had his major in $$$Finance$$$.

Should a top 100 recruit not get paid?

Top 5 means absolutely nothing, we've all been following recruiting long enough to know that.

 

[Symphony Steve]

In the portal as his nomadic existence continues. We were legit in the running for this Top 100 recruit.

Committed to 'Bama, then Florida State, then Mizzou.

I'd be a little, um, skeptical as to his motives. But he might well get a call from Fran:

Mizzou loses another highly-touted freshman to the transfer portal

Another four-star prospect from Mizzou is entering the transfer portal after just one year on campus.

I'd still gladly take him!

Maybe Dwight Freeney should make the call...

You stand corrected

 

[Cuse4Life]

it’ll be interesting because it doesn’t seem Fran goes after guys he loses initially. I’d love to be wrong here. We need big donors to start ponying up the big bucks if we want to be competitive!

He recruited Naquil Betrand out of the portal twice before landing him.
