It's been so quiet with this kid I figured there were other suitors involved.

did syracuse offer him?

He hasn't reported offers from anyone. But it was suspected we were involved since him and Diggs are pals and he was at A&M.

I think he has NJ roots as well

5th year kid who probably doesn't have NFL measurables, probably looking for highest bidder, at least I would be, even if it isn't a big sum of money

The last I heard he did have some connection to I think Camden. I do believe if Fran Brown and E. Rob really wants Raikes, they will get him.

 

[rackman18]

I see he is visiting Auburn.

 

[tep624]

Committed to USC.

Dant dant dant, another one bites the dust.

 

[hoopsupstate]

I don’t think we were ever an option. I don’t think he visited.

Bummer. My least favorite hour of the Fran era... overall... still pretty, pretty good

I think if Fran and E. Rob really wanted or thought they would have a shot at him, you would have seen an offer.

His recruitment was extremely quiet so we may very well have been involved in some capacity.

You may be right on about that.

Staff didnt want him

The irony of us not wanting a USC recruit….who are we?

The optics of that are funny, but I think it’s another bread crumb leading us toward what our scheme is going to look like.

Based on the staff not being interested, I’m making the assumption our scheme isn’t going to feature a stocky 1 tech double team eater.

It would make sense - I don’t see us pursuing any real NT types do far so either the staff feels they have what they need or we’ll have a different look.

Back in the portal now from USC…do we make a second push?

I'd like it. Don't really have what he has to offer on the roster yet.

The plot thickens

It makes you wonder a bit why a player would quick pivot like that so soon.

Thought he'd like California but got homesick for the East Coast?

 

[cuse45]

No inside information but I think we have a shot here.
