Sounds like TT is bullish on Linton and think he wasnot a scheme fit at SU. I didn't think losing him was a big deal but when you combine it w Geer it hurts.

I know you are being tongue in cheek but it also shows have good Tony White is, Dino gets no credit
Well these “powerhouse teams” evaluated them, paid them plenty to leave so they had to have valued them. If we overvalued them, then their new teams and they themselves were even more guilty. Maybe it’s more difficult to learn a new system, get to coordinate with new teammates in a few months after being in a totally different environment for a few years. Transferring and having to sit out a year to adjust to a new environment maybe isn’t really punitive but for many players, it very well maybe beneficial. Just an opinion.
Yeah, sitting a year may often be good for both sides, but when you're paying a guy you won't be that patient. Welcome to the climate of free agency in college sports.
This is their career choice. Real world won’t let a free agent sit a year to get acclimated.
It’s more a statement on the talent gap between Syracuse and power programs and level of competition between the ACC & the SEC/B1G when some of our best players are paid to transfer to those types or programs and then don’t make an impact.
Yeah, even if it would help the team in the long run. How good was it for us to have Wes Johnson ready to go in 2010? And that was basketball where it's probably easier to integrate a player. But that's the world we're in now, and guys need to consider that before leaving a place where things are going well for them.
Yup, Wes Johnson is a great example. People think portal is plug and play. But that’s the exception not the rule. It takes time to acclimate. Turning over the football and basketball rosters to the point where we’re actually good again is going to take a while.
I bet It will show up even more when 22 to 23year olds won’t be getting that extra Covid 5th year.
He is on the Armando Bacot plan.
I guess Lubbock wasn’t remote enough so he had to take the next step and go to Waco.
I know you're just bustin balls, but Waco is probably less remote than Lubbock. It's quite a bit closer to Dallas and Austin.
Agree.
