Jesse Edwards in portal and transfers to WVU

[Cuse1055]

[NCAA... patiently waiting for Syracuse to tamper in NIL so example sanctions can be levied...]

Without a doubt.

Hey, they are offering kids in the handshake line. We sort of did it after the Albany football game a few years ago. I want to win. I hope we can find a way to get our act together. I wonder if a mass letter writing campaign to Eric would help him understand the severity of the situation. There is no need for improved facilities if you can't get the players. We have to find out what successful schools of our size are doing. And we can do that without selling our souls.

Agreed...and fwiw, I have reason to believe we attempted to do that with Jesse and were simply outbid. It's gonna happen

I don't mean to be a poor sport but I won't be listening. He has nothing to say
that I will be interested in.

Yep, gonna be a bunch of BS.

 

[Cuse'91]

Outbid by LSU; which has no morals, gobs of money, and needs to replenish a talent drain from multiple scandals, I can stomach. Outbid by Country Roads is ridiculous. Unless, there are UWV coal magnates, not I'm not aware of.

So that B12 school rumor... smells like we found who may have tampered...

I wrote that earlier…

 

[Scooch]

Jesse is 22 right? Maybe he should do what he wants and not let Daddy pick his school.

Cool- I couldn't remember who did...only a few pages to read through lol

Honestly kind of an odd decision to do an interview. I don't see how this helps anyone, Jesse included.

 

[Scooch]

Tampering which is illegal and many coaches have complained but nobody’s doing anything about it.

Coaches should name names or shut up. I’m so sick of their “code”. Call out the rule breakers. If not I’ll assume that they’re just mad that they didn’t break the rule better to land somebody.

I have read that we have others who are big like Adam but when you lose someone like him you don't replace him. SU doesn't have Billionaires lining up to help the University. If what i have heard is true, this one is on the administration for not working with a person that did everything right did everything to support all of the programs and the minute something wasn't pc had his arse handed to him. Hopefully over time because of Jims's friendship he is convinced to get back and help Syracuse. If I'm JW I'm inviting him for a sit down yesterday.

Ain't happening

I’m going to listen but only because I love Tortora’s hard hitting questions

 

[Sherman20]

Not interested. I’m really disappointed in his decision. We need him to come back and help Red get the program back on track and launch this important new era. If Syracuse can’t get him any NIL, then that’s one thing and I understand leaving. If it’s simply about going to the highest bidder, that’s not right.

 

[Cuseregular]

Outbid?

He just entered the portal yesterday.

Blatant tampering, if true.

blatant is right

DT used to have a podcast on Sunday Mornings to discuss Fantasy Football info.

I have no issue if DT wants to send a tweet to advertise his pod. But one Sunday DT sent out 32 tweets.

32.

One with a hashtag for every single NFL team.

Unfollow <click>.

 

[Willy75]

How exactly were they able to do that seeing he wasn't in the portal?

blatant is right

Be assured the NCAA will get to the bottom of this. In about 5 years when they're done cleaning up the Horizon League.

 

[Bulldog04]

Exactly! And guess who they probably called. DAD. hey dad we want to offerJesse XYZ. Then dad relays that to Jesse and hey let’s look at how much they are offering even though you want to stay at cuse. Parents don’t always do what’s best for their kids. This is a clear case of this. Only way this could have gone down

 

[Sherman20]

This makes me think that daddy wants a bigger bad knowing that Jesse isn’t a NBA prospect. I do t blame them at all! If my kid had this opportunity I would probably say go where the money is and continue your education! I really don’t think SU is all blame here. The staff was caught off guard thinking he was coming back. I have trust in Red and staff to pivot and get SU back to where we belong!

It’s not Red’s fault that our NIL resources are a joke compared to other schools. Apparently.

How is making money when he can not what's best for him. It's not what's best for SU

Kent Syverud on leadership: Aim high, ask questions, share credit, take blame

Chancellor wants Syracuse to be nation’s best university for veterans and military-connected students

Sorry if already posted. Kinda funny today was the day this came out.

A Kent interview on leadership is the height of hilarity. I can only imagine the jokes being made around Crouse-Hinds this morning.

 

[Sherman20]

West Virginia!!!! We can’t Jesse a better NIL than WVU?!?!? What is the point of any of this? We really have no wealthy boosters to step up for us????

 

[Cusefan0307]

Jesse isn’t a former player I will root for. If you’re going to make a professional like move just enjoy your money. I hope the Mountaineers absolutely suck if he goes there.

 

[OttoMets]

Reminds me of Scott Shafer's weak non-response when that Central Michigan player almost took Dungey's head off. Can't make a stink, because you want your player to get the benefit of the doubt if he ever tries to cripple a kid.

I hope when my son is 22 and in a position where he has to make a $500k-$1M decision that he calls me for advice and guidance.
