LB Geoff Cantin-Arku: Drafted by CFL Montreal Alouettes

[RF2044]

It's not just here, it's everywhere. The sheer number of players in the transfer portal now is staggering and I have to imagine this wasn't the intent with providing players more flexibility in movement. It's borderline crazy.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

I can't imagine that anyone thought that the transfer portal wouldn't lead to out-and-out free agency, rash decisions to transfer, and difficulty building roster depth over time. And it has.

That was also frustrating-At least Duke got the backup QB some run

And he was 13/13 for 100 yards. We passed for 46.

And he picked Duke over us.

And they beat us for another QB in this 2022 class.

Hits keep coming.

I hope Shrader/Morgan/Lamson can hold down the fort.

That was also frustrating-At least Duke got the backup QB some run

And Louisville kept Cunningham in the game leading 55-22 in the 4th Qtr. The 2nd stringer finally came in for the last series.

 

[kirbivore]

No need to tell the ST coach he was leaving.

 

[IthacaMatt]

We couldn’t even get the backups into a blowout against Louisville. No point in fighting for something that doesn’t happen

Well, yeah, using the starters on offense until the very end was stupid, because of the injury risk when the game is out of hand.

But on the other hand, I have seen lots and lots of young players getting their chances all over the defense, as well as on the offensive line and at wide receiver.

I think the thing that is being overlooked is. They had a 2 hour conversation. 2 hours. 2 hours.

That must have been a lot of pent up frustration coming out to have a 2 hour sit down, and still say, I'm done.

2 hours folks. Think about that. You don't 2 hour meetings at work (well sometimes). That must have been a hell of a meeting.

Yeah I don’t always believe some of the things he says. 2 hrs would be an extraordinary meeting. Although, maybe they watched a movie too or something

So who enters the lb rotation?

 

[RF2044]

So who enters the lb rotation?

That Lehigh kid?

Matthews?

 

[Orangejet]

Looks like most of the Canadian kids have left so what's up with that? I don't believe Dino with all this family, Ohana crap and again, if the Cuse gets blown out the last two games with no bowl game, he should be let go. So tired of losing year after year,

The tweet say 3 hours. Even more ridiculous

 

[Trueblue25]

So who enters the lb rotation?

Sparrow

 

[Orangello]

Maybe they watched the Edmonton Elks v. Toronto Argos CFL game together.

 

[FloridaFan]

Sparrow

We have a true pirate fleet here, Captain Morgan, Captain “Jack” Sparrow, and GS had a big enough beard to be our Blackbeard lol

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

That Lehigh kid?

Matthews?

Sparrow I believe. I think I remember someone mentioning he had a terrific camp.

 

[orangemass]

Sparrow I believe. I think I remember someone mentioning he had a terrific camp.

If it was so terrific why hasn't he seen a snap?

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

If it was so terrific why hasn't he seen a snap?

I’d say because we play 4 linebackers in our system. Now one has left and there’s an opportunity for playing time.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

If it was so terrific why hasn't he seen a snap?

Preserving redshirt?

 

[Chip]

Sparrow

He didn’t travel to Louisville. Not sure if he’s hurt.

Probably a good week to avoid targeting.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Preserving redshirt?

He didn’t travel to Louisville. Not sure if he’s hurt.

Probably a good week to avoid targeting.

He's only played 3 games this season.

 

[Trueblue25]

We’re not as deep at LB as has been speculated on this board. Imo in a pinch Linton or Lowery could return to LB if Sparrow isn’t serviceable. Goulbourne and Richards left, and I don’t think Matthews is ready yet.

Roon has size but I doubt he’s ready either

 

[SUforme]

All is fine...

 

[rrlbees]

Maybe he thought he should be playing over Wax. For the season he’s graded higher than Wax in everything except rushing the passer which is probably why we wanted Wax on the field for that specific role. Arku is graded higher in total defense, run defense, tackling and coverage.

 

[Cusefan69]

So we have guys like Roon, Mathews, Sparrow and Lowery...some pretty good talent there I believe

 

[SUbear]

Yeah that's sort of like saying Clay isn't in Syracuse.

But Clay is not in Syracuse not even the same town unless you count all of Onondaga county as being Syracuse.
