Kyle McCord to NFL Draft

[FloridaCuse]

You don’t think that’s relevant? Use some imagination… Kyle wanted to redshirt but we needed him due to player injuries…. Intended to redshirt him, but lost track of number of games he played…he was put in by an assistant coach without my knowledge…I misunderstood Kyle’s intention to redshirt that year, etc.

Good. If true. But hardly conclusive. Assuming Ryan Day survives beyond this year, would he if he lied about that and we beat OSU in the playoffs next year?

Where there is smoke….and btw in reading the comments the first square peg is the QB and a lot of other bowls are happening right now so I’m not worried about available players that we need to replace at this time

 

[djorange1989]

Didn't want to play against him next season.

Correct and it was the AD who blocked the transfer. Blake James. I will see him in hell

Maybe there's optimism on the hill because they have a contact at the NCAA who is letting them know they have a good chance? I would not be surprised if someone back channeled and maybe heard some positive unofficial feedback on the matter.

If you need to use an imaginary excuse you don’t have a case. How exactly does a player and an entire staff lose track? It is a lie that they are hoping the NCAA buys.

I’m not buying this. Show me recently who’s been denied? I see 6th year guys which is not Kyle. If anything the latest Pavia ruling is grounds.

Well Pavia for one was denied. Who has been granted an extra year that was not injury related? Kyle would be the first in history.

The Reddit post is up for last hour in CFB subreddit. 200 comments some whacky but similar sentiments here. Surprising how many morons think Kyle is 25 and been in the NCAA for 7 years telling him he should be a professor or get a real job. Ridiculous how many of their teams players games the system over the years.

I’m taking it as a compliment that they don’t want to play him.

By what authority could he do that? NCAA based? ACC based?

Pavia is playing this year dum dum. And you didn’t give me any other example.

 

[hoopsupstate]

I think they are optimistic because the NCAA will move to play five in five years. SU might have some inside knowledge of the rule change.

That's a totally different issue.

No… cuse sports talk posted earlier today a McCord interview from November. It’s walks you through what the plan was and then what happened and how he “if I were to appeal” which somehow no one noticed.

Who said any of that was a lie?

 

[swish7]

Is this turning into another infamous Dan Mullen thread? Or, maybe it already has and that's the point of it.

It is a welcome distraction from conversations about portaling kids from powerhouses like Alabama, Rutgers, & D IV St Francis.

Of course it’s not conclusive, it’s speculation, but they did file an appeal and you would think the appeal has some basis to it so that Kyle and Fran think it’s a real possibility.

 

[DPCuse]

FWIW, the staff wasn’t optimistic about Kyle returning earlier in the week and they felt that the NFL QB draft class is weak so he should capitalize on that even if he received a waiver.

It’s not imaginary if Day claims it or signs off on it. Don’t you think there is some basis to the appeal? And that was just a list of my made up reasons, presumably not the actual rationale they are using.

Is this guy from Yellowstone or something? I’ve just went along with the joke but don’t really understand the appeal of this dude.

 

[FloridaCuse]

Thanks very much for posting. But where's the case for it? If he played only one play in five games (under the four game rule) he can't redshirt. If reshirting was the plan, is Kyle at fault for agreeing to go into the Mich St. game? Maybe. But I assume he did it so he'd be in the coaches' good graces and eventually be the starter, which he was. But then Ryan Day changed his mind. He clearly got screwed by his coaches. One could possibly put this under the category of "No good deed goes unpunished". Very very unfortunate. [maybe]

And so the twists continue…

And now Rickie Collins signs again with Cuse.

 

[richmondcuse03]

When Kyle comes back, folks better be supporting the AD and SU Football NIL and selling out every game next year.

 

[richmondcuse03]

And now Rickie Collins signs again with Cuse.

No impact on Kyle.

 

[DPCuse]

I don’t think I’d be able to contain my excitement if we get Kyle back AND have Rickie in the wings. Holy crap.

 

[Red2003]

And now Rickie Collins signs again with Cuse.

Yup. Signed after and extra few days. Collins really has the most to lose. Maybe needed some assurances or took an extra few days to make sure he has a backup plan if Kyle comes back.
