LeQuint Allen to NFL Draft

[Nicknack]

We've never had a QB that was able to run an offense like McCord. Unless he's miraculously back next year it's going to be a reawakening from a dream.

That's my fear! A brutal schedule is coming at the wrong time. I just hope we don't do what happened after Dino's 10 win season. We lost all momentum as a program after 2018. Hopefully we can get bowl eligible along with knocking off Clemson and/or Tennessee. I for one would take a couple big wins with a bowl appearance.

Laquint is supposed to speaking to Fran today about next year.

I wonder when we will know Allen's decision? It may have already been made now.

He said he was talking with Fran today. Never said a decision would be made today.

 

[orangemass]

I wonder if everyone has a convo today? If so we should see a flurry of announcements

 

[David321]

He said he was talking with Fran today. Never said a decision would be made today.

I am aware of both of those things.

He might wait until Kyle gets word from the NCAA. We wouldn’t have won ten games without Kyle this year.

And was only HM All-ACC. Make it make sense

 

[sutomcat]

My takeaway is if you want a son who is a super versatile college RB, the more unusual the first name you choose, the more likely it will happen.

Don’t name him Bob unless you want an accountant. Don’t name him Mark unless you want a guy that loves to tailgate.

Lequint just posted on his instagram he declared for Draft

Assume this means McCords appeal failed.

Anyhow, he's gone. Looking forward to see what Yaz can do.

 

[Shrmdougluvr]

Maximum effort kid. Really easy to cheer for. Hope he makes it big at the next level.

 

[swish7]

Oof. Now we know.

All about that $$

--- edit ---
I think there were overreactions, but can see how people took the wording in the OP in a negative light. I didn't have negative intentions.

Literally just stating the obvious that he is making a decision based on the prospect of immediate money. I didn't imply there was anything wrong with that.

It's better to maximize your draft position. Get more guaranteed money & teams will take you more seriously.

LQA could make more money by trying to maximize his draft spot, & ultimately that would be better for him. Given that per the comments here, he may not even be drafted, it's not unreasonable. I would never wish the UFA path on any Syracuse players, especially one of LQAs caliber.

I do understand the arguments on both sides.

 

[oldpinepoint]

Good move for him, smart decision

 

[cusefan88]

Go be great. What a warrior.

 

[gocraz4dasu]

LQA really was a good runningback here. He did a lot well and he is an exceptional receiver. I do wonder whether he has the speed to get drafted but it would not surprise me to see him latch onto a team as a UDFA. He’s a hard player not to love as a coach. Tough as hell. I’ll be rooting for him to get drafted!

 

[Niastri]

Oof. Now we know.

It's his best chance to get drafted and potentially stick.

It's one of the weaker drafts in a while.

Plus, he really didn't have anything left to prove at this level.

What?

This is an absolutely loaded running back class

 

[RF2044]

I begrudge him nothing.

He really maximized his opportunity at SU, after that goofy suspension. Kid has been a warrior, and he won us games this year with his tough running -- got better in the 4th quarter.

Stud. Hope he kills it in the NFL.
