Really? I think we're alright.

Me too

I can't find a current roster but if his Instagram movie is truthful he will be playing for EMCC this Fall.

Ever since Last Chance U, I usually look up EMCC's roster at the start of the season. Typically, they don't post the season's roster until the week of the first game (if not the day of).

his twitter still shows his location as scooba Mississippi which is where EMCC is.

Sure sounds like his suspension and subsequent departure was academic related

Kind of like Oglethorpe I think the word subsequent made that scene click in my mind . One of my all time favorites.

He posted something about he was going to have an A semester.

Sad.

Would love to see him get his grades up and make his way back here.

CuseLegacy -- can we please keep this on Kpogba...

Oh...

Never gonna happen. It has nothing to do with grades. Has to do with other off the field issues. Let's just say he met some fine NYS troopers which led to some issues.

There was an Oglethorpe type guy who played for the Syracuse Blazers. Ask Bob Costas about him.

Billy Goldthorpe.

That's who Ogilthorpe was based on.

One of the “Syracuse Bulldogs “ in the clip was none other then former Syracuse Blazer Blake Ball, I’ll be nice here and call him a very enthusiastic enforcer in the old Eastern League.

Maybe they’re both being stashed at EMCC to get their grades up and return to SU? Seems weird both would go to the same place if it wasn’t orchestrated in some way.

That or EMCC was only place with scholarships available.

Guys go to EMCC for exposure.

 

[JRHEETER]

Yeah these guys are as good as gone

I wouldn’t put too much hoping into them returning to Syracuse.

best of luck to both of these guys.

wish it had worked out here but obviously, academically (I’m assuming) it just didn’t.

Not well versed on JUCO football. Seemed bizarre to go to the same school, but if it's a powerhouse for exposure it makes more sense.

If anyone is interested in what EMCC football is like, watch the first two seasons of Last Chance U on Netflix.

BTW, just a quick google search shows the head coach of EMCC is paid between $3-8M. There's no way he makes that much, unless that includes monies from the Netflix shows.

According to financial documents obtained by The Dispatch, Stephens earned an annual salary of $124,732 in 2016 — a number which he later said included a stipend to live off campus, a school gas card, a Nissan, a phone and meals. The EMCC head coach said his personal salary has not increased since.

Still twice as much as the HC at Independence CC from Seasons 3 and 4. I think that salary was ~$65k.
