DT Curtis Harper transferring to Akron

[IthacaMatt]

Are you confusing Harper with Roscoe?

Now that you said it, yes, I think you're right.

 

[IthacaMatt]

You realize this thread is about Curtis Harper, right? The Curtis Harper who played for SU was not the leading tackler for DLs. Unless you are not counting Roscoe, Black, Williams, Okeck, and Jonathan.

Those stats are in the very link YOU posted.

My bad. I was looking at Roscoe. But he left, too, didn't he?

that explains everything

If a guy has to transfer to a MAC team to "get playing time", when he outperformed nearly every other defensive lineman is just beyond my comprehension.

The guy who led all of our defensive linemen in tackles, and led the whole team in tackles for loss - and you all are saying he isn't good enough to play here, and has to transfer to a 2-10 MAC team... I mean, "what are you guys smoking, because I WANT some of that!"

He outperformed ALL of our sixth year DL who are leaving. ALL OF THEM.

This is a huge loss. This guy was going to lead our DL next year.

It happens Matt, no problem. Roscoe graduated as a super senior.

Most of the football players that left weren't going to be on the two-deep next year, but wasn't this thread about Harper leaving and how that is a bad look for the program?
The women's hoops team is actually playing better than last year (to quote you: did you happen to notice that?), although I'm not sure what this has to do with Harper leaving.
I don't have a silver lining with the men's bb team, but again, not sure what that has to do with Harper leaving.

Yes, please don't lump Harper in with all those other things and don't lump him in with other football players who quit the team. Harper earned his SU degree in 3 1/2 years and decided to move on as a grad transfer. He's fulfilled his obligation to SU football; he doesn't owe us anything else; he is an SU alumnus. Wish him well and next man up. LGO!

Yes. He has transferred to Rutgers.

 

[GreekFreak]

Yes. He has transferred to Rutgers.

To provide more of the picture… he
only decided on Rutgers after UConn turned him down.

[Deleted member 7047]

Yes. He has transferred to Rutgers.

Yes, and it's on a golf scholarship, not football.

 

[kcsu]

Because he will play more at Akron than at SU

Ok. Buts hes not going pro. He played significant snaps for us until the last few games. I would have gone for a better degree. Hope he does well.

Also he's from McKeesport, PA. About two hours from Akron. Closer to home.

‘Classic, but not unexpected

Hey, at least I admit it when I make a mistake.

 

[SuFTW]

Hey, at least I admit it when I make a mistake.

Ok, here’s another mistake. The poster below was clearly referring to being sought after in the portal, not as a high school player.

Your premise makes absolutely no sense. If he's going to be such a huge loss, why wasn't he more highly sought after? Why did he go from an ACC program to a bottom-tier MAC program? Not sure what you were watching, but Harper just wasn't very good. And to say he outperformed Cody Roscoe? Laughable.

How many stars a kid got in HS has very little to do with how they turned out as a player after 3 or 4 years in your system. I guess you've never heard of player development, and S&C programs.

 

[Dcuse]

Hey, at least I admit it when I make a mistake.

So should we continue to smoke what we’re smoking then?

Are you confusing Harper with Roscoe?

ROFLMAO!!!

 

[JRHEETER]

Hey, at least I admit it when I make a mistake.

P.S. Roscoe left because he was a grad transfer that was only supposed to have one season but it was 2020 so he got an extra free year so played in 2021.

He has completely exhausted his eligibility

This a kid using the opportunity that athletics provides to the vast majority who will never spend a minute in a professional camp.

Good for him.

Exactly! This is what success looks like.

 

[NJCuse97]

Yes, and it's on a golf scholarship, not football.

Actually, Rutgers has a nice golf course. Too bad it's surrounded by their campus.

Yes, that's right.
