Welcome Norman !First timer. Over 30 years basketball and football season ticket holder. Many family members SU graduates including my 90 year old father. I bleed Orange and love to follow this site as it’s informative and entertaining.
If someone goes into the portal can they still play in remaining (Georgia) games?It’s not about flipping them, it’s hooking their displaced backups who are headed to the portal anyway
Matt Rhule thinks he should be a head coach.
Really curious to see OC/DC hires and how he fleshes out the staff if he is indeed the guy.
right, it remains the biggest pattern disconnect of my life, basing an impression from only from an online football message board, thinking this.....then meeting the dude and thinking that. Impressive very cool person he wasI kind of love how Al has gone from somewhat disparaged to legend status.

Yep, I think we can be the #2 program in the Northeast behind Penn State (with obviously a pretty big gap from #1 to #2)... But to do so we have to out recruit Pitt, Rutgers, BC, and UConn in the Northeast... and hold our own in the DMV against Va Tech, Maryland, and UVA.Pitt is almost always my gauge, think about when Syracuse and Pitt are good at the same time, it doesn’t really ever happen, IMO it’s because we are always going after the same pool of players. I don’t think you can be successful only recruiting the NE, but you HAVE to hold your own and win the majority of recruiting battles against “peer” schools
I won't go as far as borderline delusional. A FEW kids will go with a coach they love. The rest will look at the record, and decide whether they believe in the coaches ability. Our 10 win season didnt move the needle. Dino DID move it from recruiting in the 60's to 51, and 50. 2019 removed all hype, and that was it.Yeah, top 25 seems overly optimistic, if not borderline delusional. Had the program come close in twenty years, I could be convinced. Are there examples of programs who consistently live outside of the top 50 suddenly pulling in Top 25 classes? If so, then maybe I'm too pessimistic.
Dan Mullen is yesterday’s news, Fran Brown is todays!This was already posted.
In other news he only has 71 pages. Dan Mullen is 240.
Imagine if he followed him?!The #3 recruit in the nation, who Brown landed for Georgia, is a tri-state kid. It'll be interesting whether he sticks with Georgia or looks elsewhere.
Fisher and Beck. Everyone talks about Nunzio, but Fisher is the best recruiter from the last staff.Longtime lurker excited for a new beginning at Syracuse. Who on the current staff besides Nunzio would you keep?
How about we just hire the best coaches regardless of race or gender?In a profession where minorities are still proportionally under-represented, I think it is cool that the last two head coaching hires have been black men. Now it’s time to start adding some women to the coaching staff.
