Anybody know how fast junior is? He could be a part of dime packages as an additional safety if he's quick/fast enough.

In general, he's too small to be a linebacker for us. Since he's already taller and heavier than his dad, future weight gain will come at high cost in the weight room... But if he's fast enough, he could get on the field situationally aside from special teams.

Happy for the Brown family!
Anyone being negative about this needs to get a grip. If he can contribute, great! If he can't, he'll be buried on the depth chart like many other players you all have forgotten about. I trust that Fran won't give him preferential treatment. LGO!

 

[NKR1978]

This is fantastic. Means Fran loves SU

It ties their family to SU forever. I think that's a great thing.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

So who's going to be Mr. French

Who was his lead recruiter?

GMAC

As Coach Fran always says, there’s nothing greater than the S.

Since we are behind in NIL funding, we need to leverage as many non-financial factors that are important to recruits and their families.

Faith, family, academics and Cuse football. I firmly believe we can make the playoffs in the next few years. Who would have ever thought that was possible.

Fran is the modern day Coach Mac; a uniter for the community with a love and passion for Cuse football.

Let's hope this means Fran is here at least 3 more years!

I want at least 10 years with Coach Fran. Need to get Braeden on campus after Fran Jr graduates

Those who have a problem with it are idiots

This further shows that Fran has no intention of going anywhere else, and another great point in recruiting.
He has brought his entire family here. And can sell that to prospective recruits and parents.

Let's be clear on the scholarship limit. Once House v. NCAA settlement is signed off on there is NO scholarship limit. There is only a roster limit of 105. It no longer matters if you are on a full ride, a partial scholarship or no athletic aid. If you are on the roster, you count against the 105.
This also means that very few of the current walk-ons with remaining eligibilty will have roster spots in 2025.

 

[qdawgg]

Yes unfortunately that means most posters here.

Really. There’s like 3 posters that have expressed anything negative about this. That’s less than 1% of the all the posters. Maybe a bit of an exaggeration. Almost everyone has been positive about this.

That’s what the numbers say

His Dad is only half of his genetics, but I wouldn’t expect to much his first year here, he may need more time.

No, it really doesn’t. A handful of posters doesn’t equate to the hundreds of fans that are members and post here.

Can Fran jr help us? Love it if Fran loves it
