McCord

[Cusefan69]

So to me if McCord comes back, oline becomes a big factor here. He either believes the line can handle or he is told they will add.

Didn’t Kyle play basketball in high school? VERY INTERESTING

100%, We open with Tennessee in Atlanta not the Ohio Bobcats at the dome. Gotta be ready up front.

What's the longest thread in Syracusefan history?

If McCord officially comes back, this may break it. Lot of joyous gifs, celebratory posts, maybe go back to some Sam Elliott references...

We all deserve this.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Go and make a call to Smith at Ohio State. He could be the first player to win a national championship at two schools. If you’re going to go big, GO REALLY BIG!!!

Someone figure out how to harness the energy of a thousand people hitting F5 at 440Hz.

Once the news is announced I’m taking the over on this thread reaching 200 pages

Hahhahaha. F5 season, baby!

After what Pena, OG, and Gill have done. Not sure why any receiver thinking of transferring wouldn’t give Cuse a chance. Honestly, I don’t think we need that many additional weapons depending on if Zeed is coming back. We’d have Peña, Zeed, Gill, JRS (?)

I'd have to assume the approval only gets announced if he decides to come back, right? They aren't going to put him in that situation.

 

[TheHaze315]

I just can’t imagine him going through the appeal process, letting Syracuse go through the appeal process and then him walking away. Surely if it’s true and he got the extra year he’s coming back.

 

[JKinPhilly]

Better for him to have options than not have options. Hope he makes the right decision for himself which of course would be coming back.

Wait, I'm confused .. I was told by certain posters that this wouldn't happen.

LOL

Amazing how that happens, right?

Agree. Ross and Hornsby also have a lot of talent and would have a full offseason to get stronger and faster. Wr is the least of our problems. I would want a good O-lineman and a pass rusher. Those are our biggest needs IMO.

I wouldn't gloat yet. If he says he's staying, that would be a good time to go for it.

I think we are either set, or will be, at the skill positions. Gut check moment for Zeed, needs to be able to commit to being reliably here or else I'd go after another portal WR for sure. I would guess that it's more about OL, if anything.

Two-way street. WR's would (I assume) want to play with this year's passing leader and a top-10 Heisman finish.

it's not a money issue for a change. There will be additional money raised if he wants to come back - lot already lined up. It's just about what he wants to do.

I don't mean just for him. If word gets out that he is back, I really think money will pour in. And that can help us with other kids that we can use for defense and offense.

Would not be good for other NIL coffers though

True. But the thread temperature is rising.

Let’s not jinx it and do a victory lap when he’s officially back pls.

 

[cardiac]

I heard his appeal is approved.

Will he use the extra year? I don’t know.

I have 2 strong sources

One says 50/50

Other says he will, if we get some more weapons.

So, nothing definitive on that front, just that the option is there.

Believe it. Don’t believe it. Just what I’ve heard.

Until McCord himself announces something I take what I hear with a grain of salt. Though, I’d be pretty shocked if the person who told me was speaking on bad info.

We’ve already dodged one 50/50 why not make it 2??

I made that point on another thread. Hoop really needs it right now but money goes to winners. Now, Melo can make a difference for hoop. But after a 10 win season, if McCord comes back, I expect money will flood in. I know I will write another check. I wonder if LQA might reconsider?

oh for sure. I just wouldn't want the word to be he got approved, then decides not to come back...if he's coming back, that will definitely encourage more money.

Absolutely, this already energized fanbase will go bananas.
