Class of 2017 DE Jeffrey Gunter (SC) SIGNED TO NC State

[FloridaFan]

So did he fall under our count of 85 scholarships? does this free one up for shy to come back?

 

[RMH44]

Dave Doeren has the most punchable face of anyone I can think of...

Agreed...and it appears that quite a few folks have beat us to it!

This would leave room for the Grad Transfer and Shy.

 

[corpjet]

after a verbal to us he's headed to NC State

Transfer DE Jeffrey Gunter headed to NC State

Then im ok with this tbh. allows us to get 2 solid players and we just develop our frosh players more

We'll be just fine without him. Next man up! Hope we demolish them now

 

[Jake]

Interesting. I think I recall the official announcement from SU specifically said he agreed to sign scholarship papers and thought it was a red flag...as it isn’t binding for the student, only the school.

Now I know why.

 

[P Vasiloff]

Good luck to young Mr. Gunter against everybody except Syracuse. Now I hope the Syracuse Football Staff goes out and finds someone much better. Next man up, Go Orange!!!!!!

I like our young defensive ends so this isn’t the biggest loss ever. Can’t really blame the guy for wanting to be close to home. Good luck to him.

Ah, I can blame him, at least a little.

It's not like he didn't know how far Syracuse was away when he visited and then signed (scholarship docs).

And I can't help but dislike Doeren even more than I did, since I have no doubt he did something slimy to help facilitate this.

 

[TheCusian]

I know one thing for certain. It was not Doeren’s personality that tilt the scales lol

He was supposed to bridge the gap between Robinson/Coleman/Berry 2020 and Linton/Tuazama/Goulbourne who need multiple yrs to gain weight and experience 2022?

 

[qdawgg]

Was this the guy we were trying to fatten up and make into a DT?

No, not that one, the other one. This one.

And grow 3 inches in our S&C program. Yes, someone is the one.

 

[All4SU]

So...does this mean there is “love lost”? Or “no love lost”?

 

[Trueblue25]

Mr Jonathan is going to surprise a lot of people in 2020.

 

[Pyle]

Love is lost. IMO this is like the prom date who decides at the last second they want to go with somebody else. He signed financials binding us to his commitment and then bailed. Not cool. I wouldn't feel bad at all if ends up as their waterboy.

Part of me wonders if their bag was bigger than ours.

 

[OrangeMojo]

This is just incredibly douche-y by Doeren and NC State - that will be the game I want to see SU win more than any other each year.

 

[PAcuse]

Yes, Doeren is a much bigger DBag

 

[rackman18]

He didn't realize that when he committed to SU? You can wish him the best, I hope our OT puts him on his a$$. Thank you very much. hehehe

 

[sutomcat]

Too bad. It used to be that a man's word meant something.

If this is any indication of his character, maybe this is for the best.

I look forward to watching his reaction as we defeat the Wolfpack each year he is on that team. If indeed he decides to keep his word this time.

To continue to recruit someone who has signed scholarship papers with another school is sketchy and pretty bush league.

...So exactly what I'd expect from Doeren and George McF-It.

I don't know much about G McF-it as a person, so I am just asking: Do you think he is petty enough to still look for opportunities to stick it to SU, or is that just something said to put another face to our anger? (I mean, Doeren's face is enough to give me Tourette's, but I always thought G McF-it was more benign due to his overwhelming ineptitude).

Yes. He is like a cigar in shafers mouth.
