Feels like. Just like we’ve had plan b essentially chambered for every negative announcement so far, this could be the same.

I wouldn't categorize sean going to the league as a negative

For sure, but negative relative to one of the options on the table. I think we’ve been great about having plan b’s in place…and it would be nice if this really is a plan b for Sean leaving.
But I suppose any of these guys leaving could be positioned as “not negative.” They’re all levering their time at SU for a more lucrative next step.

Seems some fans just prioritize different things. As a fan of the program with no relation to a single player on the team my interest is in the program succeeding. I see losing any productive player as a negative because I'm a fan of the program. So regardless of why a player leaves; injury, graduation, nfl or portal I will see it as a negative if they were a net benefit to the team. Hope the kids succeed in their life but I'm also a fan and therefore selfish, I want them to play out their entire eligibility here. If they don't then bummer.

So we have Allen, Price, Ike and Parkman. Could maybe see 1 more being brought in from a numbers standpoint. It depends on how Beck views our current stable. There are some seriously good RBs in the portal. Given our transfer success this year, I would try aiming for a 4 and 3 stars backs. If you have not looked at 247 2023 transfer portal you should. There are a huge number of high end RBs looking. No knock intended towards Carter at all. He is working hard and believes he has more to offer.

Ike had a beast of a season this year. The guy comes in with allot of talent. So does Parkman. He is seriously fast and a player. The Spring game will be fun to watch with some carries available in 2023 with Tucker going Pro.

I think this is the real consequence. Imagine being a HS kid and choosing between riding the bench at an SU type school for a year or two, or going to a lower level program, playing right away, and then just transferring to jump over the kid that was "being developed".

The coaches job is to bring in the best players. The job of the kid already on the team is to be better than anyone they bring in. (My son was on both ends of that.)

Keep in mind that Pena could certainly be a pretty good RB if needed. That's what he played in HS and started playing at Syracuse before being moved to the slot.
