Duce Chestnut transferring back to the 'Cuse

[Goin' Deep]

Yeah because guys never improve their technique.

jesus

You tell me how he improved his technique by not playing.
We're talking top shelf college football..what kind of "shape" would you be in
having not been on the field for over 3 months?

He shut himself down to preserve a year of eligibility. He's not perfect. No DB is. You are gonna win some battles and lose some. Especially going against guys like Keon Coleman. What current corner on the team is better?

Good thing SU doesn’t play a game for 9 months.

 

[NineOneSeven]

This is hilarious

Im happy for Duce and Glad that Fran allowed him back. Kid made a mistake like we all have and he is getting a second chance. My two cents is that he works harder than he ever has in his life and balls out next year.

When’s the next game they play?

There’s not a corner that’s ever played that hasn’t gotten beat.

You have no idea what conditioning work he’s been doing.

Evidently YOU DO..and his "technique" has improved as well.

Players generally improve over time with practice and experience.

Most people understand that.

 

[Toga]

It was a done deal prior to his portal entry

Like some others I am neutral here. Obviously happy for the young man as it sounds like he's happy with the outcome and always will be glad when positive outcomes happen for the players. Fans should not make it personal. It will be interesting to see how things shake out and where he ends up on the field. Fran and ERob see him working out in some capacity though or he is not back. We shall see what we shall see. By the way Happy New Year Syracuse fans!

 

[zjscuse]

Welcome back deuce please sit inside your dorm, make some hot chocolate and read a book. Stay farrrrr and away from any and all house parties lol! Also you better bring your boy lequint out to the most lavish dinner he’s ever had!

 

[OburgOrange]

So , players want to be here. Transferring back. Staying their senior year. Chestnut, Wax, Gadsden, Barron, … is all this for real? Happy New Year!

 

[DPCuse]

I think it sends a good message. Was at Cuse, left for “greener” pastures at a big time football factory. Wasn’t so hot so I returned to a place I love.

 

[Irt4su]

So many more positives to this than negatives. Both on and off the field. Inspiring message to recruits, team and fans in my opinion. We aren’t going to lose NJ kids and we are place kids want to be, even after they leave, Jesse how’s your wrist? Covid gives you another year too?

 

[sutomcat]

Duce was third team All ACC as a true frosh. The kid can play.

Yeah, the staff isn't going to hand him anything. If they recruit over him, he gets to contribute as a back up or on special teams. If they don't, we're fortunate to get a guy back that's a known quantity. From a talent acquisition stand point, there really is no downside here.

 

[kcsu]

If he puts in the work, he will start and possibly make an all-ACC team. He has to be hungry and grateful. He won't blow this opportunity or Fran will have his arse in a sling.

 

[Newhouser]

I'm eh on this. I think he's a good player who will help but has been overrated by our fan base.

 

[Jake]

Let’s also remember, the HC is also his position coach. Fran is going to be hands on here. All good.

 

[AngryOtto]

I think taking him back helps Fran’s message to New Jersey players and family. I will take care of your child. This should help in future recruiting.
On the player side as others have indicated he has pluses and negatives. Was a great tackler. Was good on short to mid pass defense. Got beat deep and seemed to never really look for the ball.
I think there are better cbs in the portal but weighing all the factors he is a plus for the program.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Yeah because guys never improve their technique.

jesus

We’ll be playing a different defense too. Our CB’s might not be on an island as much. He’s a playmaker and you can never have too many of them. It also sends a clear message that the grass is not always greener somewhere else. Duce learned the hard way.

 

[PhatOrange]

Is deuce the first player in the portal era to transfer back to the school he started at?

 

[OrangePA]

Really happy that Duce Chestnut is back! Great news!

LGO!

Yeah do people not think Fran knows what he’s doing here?
