DL Jatius Geer transferring to South Carolina

[illi3]

Yep how can anyone get excited about anyone anymore, a kid will get good here , really good and there’s more than a passing chance it’ll be bye bye for a big bag soon thereafter. Yuck

But at the same time, as happened this year, we’ll also bring in highly rated guys who felt they weren’t getting an opportunity at a powerhouse and are looking to get on the field asap.

The average for P5 schools losing kids is 16.

Just the way of the game. Don't be so dour!

It only happens here, we are doomed!!!!

We have two SEC QBs on our roster. That never happens the good old way.

Ill trade geer all day for the kid from Alabama

Exactly, I posted that somewhere else in this thread too, the most important position in any major sport is QB and the portal helps us immensely with getting them

 

[IthacaMatt]

Uh, the post spring window.

try to keep up

Point is, it's losses for the ENTIRE off-season that determine our roster.

And right now, we're down 2 starting DBs who were very good, and 3 DLs, two of whom were contributors and the other was injured and overweight.

No, that’s not the point. The point is you lose one guy post spring that’s a very good outcome in this environment

 

[OttoinGrotto]

So any news on where he's looking to go?

That’s great except they don’t play the same position.

The South Carolina insider guy over at the Crystal Ball site said Geer is going there

It's only 1 in the spring, that's some relief. But overall does the portal giveth at the same rate it taketh? tep624 has been questioning this, and he has a point. We're losing established starters and high-upside 2 deep guys to NIL. In exchange, despite some success stories (GS, CDRW), we're facing stiff competition for JUCOs. And a lot of our P5 replacements are not established starters (injured or buried on the depth chart). It's still early. We'll have to see how it plays out over time. But so far the portal exchange seems asymmetric. And if that continues I'm concerned about the viability of our '3-star' recruiting model. SU and many other non-factory FBS programs are in trouble if they pour their resources into developing kid$ only to have them tampered with and poached. It's an unsustainable situation that Charlie Baker will need to address if the NCAA system is to survive NIL.

We've lost 3 DLs and added one, by my count.
So, whoop de doo that we only lost 1 more guy in this window.

And if that continues I'm concerned about the viability of a '3-star development' recruiting model - that SU and many other non-factory institutions are pouring their resources into - if the best kids continue to be $ubject to factory tampering and poaching. This is looking like a trend that Charlie Baker will need to address if the NCAA system is to survive NIL.

It’s pretty obvious where the trend is heading with this system. If people want to ignore it or be in denial about it that’s their choice.

And your point is valid - if your success is defined by developing undervalued talent that gets consistently poached because you’re not willing to pay to retain it….I just don’t see how you can even be a winning program with that strategy.

If the guys who transferred in from some of the big boys pan out to be really good balancing the scales, then:

Two knee surguries on the Alabama kid says "wait and see" on that.

He visited the University of South Carolina this past weekend What Diggs, Geer would mean for Gamecocks

Ill trade geer all day for the kid from Alabama

trading a guy who actually has tape and some production vs a kid who never seen the field at bama? not to mention different position and bad knees, but ok.

I believe he saw the field quite a bit as a frosh and then got injured. Once injured, he was recruited over and removed from the team/deemed medically ineligible to keep his scholly, but free up the spot on the roster by officially removing him from the team.

Adding this reference from the recruiting thread. Mentions 4 games and 5 tackles under his belt at Bama

Class of 2019 - DL Braylen Ingraham (FL) TRANSFERRING FROM ALABAMA TO SYRACUSE (12/12/22)

If his knees hold up this is going to be a monster addition.

They play different positions any way. I do like Geer’s upside. I heard White is trying to get him too.

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

I’m admittedly not great at interpreting Instagram stories but his newest one shows him in several Syracuse pics with a song playing that has the word torn in the title. Who knows?

 

[cusefan88]

Maybe he doesn't want to leave but the NIL lure is too strong.
