J’Onre Reed transferring to USC

[SanDiegoCuse]

I’m not too worried.

And honestly everything is about negotiation. He can jump in the portal, work to use it as some leverage and see if he can get Syracuse to up the package and come back. A few ways this can play out.

He could but I don’t see him having much leverage here. I don’t know for sure but I could easily see this be a situation where we’re OK he’s moving on as we didn’t expect him to be back. I’ll wait and see where he ends up.

 

[OrangeTarheel]

I agree but I saw it as a bird in the hand situation

Bush birds are overrated

 

[Cuse4455]

Big General more like Dollar general

 

[PhatOrange]

I wondered if we would take the JUCOs back or not. I think we should but can also see them not being asked back. The unit has a lot of numbers but most of it is young. Not sure if that’s good or bad. I’m thinking maybe we didn’t ask Reed back. I thought IIoao played better that Reed 2nd half, and that includes a healthy Reed. They must have something in mind at center. Will be the big question of spring ball.

We’ll see what happens next with Bradford and Petry.

Not sure the staff thinks this is as big a loss as the board

Yep

 

[cusefan88]

I see him heading back to his home State.

 

[Trueblue25]

Great kid. I wish him the best. I think we can upgrade here.

 

[CanadianSU]

It’s not a huge loss…it stinks but he was hurt a lot. What makes me mad is ACC is a bottom feeder for the Big10 and SEC, and Syracuse is already a middle of the row at best NIL wise in the ACC. Which might be the worst p4 conference.

The portal has been fine for Cuse. Players lost really is not even close to some other teams.

 

[SUATO92]

Hate to see it, great center and awesome young man. I hope he withdraws and stays.

Great?

 

[TheHaze315]

Would have liked him back but he wasn’t special or great by any means. Good kid and hope he lands somewhere he can be successful but we can definitely upgrade.

A lot of our big time guys this year went to the draft. Or graduated.

 

[orangepassion]

Can't wait till he pulls his name out of the portal and we're all thrilled that the C position is solidified.

 

[orangemass]

I’d take him back in a heartbeat

 

[Cusefan69]

No matter what I hope Fran brings in someone with game experience at Center. Our #1 & #2 are leaving and not having anyone with game reps is a concern coupled with a likely young QB starting for the first time as well.

 

[PhatOrange]

I’d take him back in a heartbeat

I would to. It’s experience and depth.

 

[anomander]

I would certainly take him back but don’t think this is a big deal. Josh took a lot of snaps away towards the end of the year anyways.

 

[kcsu]

He iss a loss

 

[IthacaBarrel]

He also couldn’t even afford travel to get to Syracuse when he committed here. Go get the $, cash a check. He isn’t a great center probably average P4 and that’s probably being nice nor is he an NFL prospect.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Just show him his game scores and ask him how much he thinks he should get. Talking to an offensive player at the bowl game he thinks Hornsby will be the starter next year. We just got two roster openings today. That’s a good thing.

Yeah I forgot about that.

Agree. This may just be a mutual situation. The general needs the money more and we’re OK not spending as much on him given what’s waiting in the wings. Hornsby has two years left too.

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Definitely feels like a moneyball decision. Makes sense.

 

[GoSU96]

He should talk to JG Wentworth if he needs money now.
