Class of 2025 DE Quante Gillians (NY) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (6/16/24)

[kcsu]

Been a Cuse fan all my life but I’ve always held Michigan in high regards. If I had a choice as a prospect I would have chosen Michigan over SU. They are that big of a program. It’s easier for the kids to choose the bigger offer now. They know they can always come back home if it doesn’t work out.

Not so fast my friend I hear you but all things being equal I think that early playing time is important. I listen to Carmelo's kid and others across both football and Bball and the smart ones or maybe the fortunate ones who don't have to decide based just on money are looking for a fit. Playing time and the proper use of their skills. That obviously doesn't mean that Michigan doesn't have all of that but i think that Fran has more than we think at his disposal. Also, unless a kid is truly academically committed the degree matters but not to the extent that Michigan trumps SU. In fact, I would say having alumni in your hometown and back yard trumps almost everything. Bottom line who knows but if any staff can compete with Michigan and the other blue bloods it's this one.

You care too much.. stop caring about anything related to Syracuse Football.

Stop being a jackass and maybe people will want to seriously engage with you.

Emotion. I like it. Bring more of it to the board. Sorry you almost got me. I simply don't care about you or your post. What ever.

And exactly why you're staying on perma ignore. You think having a grating personality makes you a "real fan". It doesn't. It just makes you a Syracuse fan with a grating personality.

Think that was the old su thought process. Under Fran not sure he would be willing to take a player that decommitted.

If it was Michigan with Hardbaugh and in the national title race, ok. But Moore looks in over his head and they look like they're heading for a rough patch.

You are trying to come up with reasons why a kid should choose SU over Michigan and Im providing thoughts based on how 17 year olds think these days. ( Not as a SU fan). I have talks with them about recruitment on a regular basis.
