No great senior leadership again

[IthacaBarrel]

Next year and I know people will point out Angeli but he’s got a lot of work ahead just to get on the field. Can’t name anyone else. Could be another long year for Fran B and the darts.

Shouldn’t have to go searching for leaders at this point. Good senior leadership is the common thread to the 3 best seasons over the last 20 years

Next year is a rebuilding year. We need everyone in place for 2027.

See what the portal brings.

I don't think you can take that approach in the portal era.

I think the senior part of leadership can be overrated. I think it's more personality and do you set an example that teammates respect. The returning experienced players can be leaders if they're wired like that.

It isn’t an approach but reality. We have too much going on to expect better than 7-5.

I was told 2025 was a rebuilding year for 2026

Pointing ahead two years is irrelevant in the transfer portal era. We could lose another 30-40% of our roster after 2026. We need great success in the portal because our current roster is not competitive at the moment

That’s what people said for 2025, we were gearing up for a playoff run in 2026!

I don’t disagree with you though. Get 7 wins next year and restablish that the program isn’t a disaster / laughing stock

That’s what we said about last year.

It was this years team will be much better than last years team. In my opinion

We have no idea how the portal will go. It’s also a different schedule.

A little premature to dismiss the entire team and who evolves as team leaders. I think those leaders emerge during winter workouts and spring practice. Just for fun, here is one name - Rashard Perry.

I thought this year was the rebuilding year because of the schedule. It was get through the year and prep for 2026. I'm also sure you were pretty vocal about having a losing season this year.

 

[orangefog]

Ugh, here we go again. Does anyone think that Fran isn't gearing up for a run in 2026? He demoted (fired) his best friend. He knows 2026 has to be special. He is going to kill it in the portal and we are going to have a HUGE bounceback year in 2026.

 

[ImperialOrange]

We have upperclassman in every skill group unless Nixon doesn't return. Angeli, Collins, Nixon, Gill, Cook, Merriweather, T Russell, Clement, Cruz, Mack, Rice, Betrand, Omopariola, Perry, Hastings, Bryant, Tremble, ZMG, Peal, Kerr, Long, Perry, Delaine, and Washington.

We could almost play full 11s of upperclassman on both offense and defense. We won't because of some young stars on the roster but we could. Also presume some upperclassman will arrive as well.

 

[capeorange]

Exactly. Now every year is a rebuilding year.

 

[orangeinohio]

How about we see who’s on the team next fall?

Wait, I thought this year we just ended was the rebuilding year and next season we were hoping to compete in the ACC/playoffs? Did we put it off for another year?

That’s like saying Doug flutie and Russell Wilson say hello when talking about difficulties shorter qb’s have. They are a bit of an anomaly. In addition, what is the best year that he ever had at Syracuse?the Texas bowl?

 

[Cusefan0307]

Angeli will be back to full strength by spring. He’s throwing right now.

How about scoring 20 one time the entire months of October and November?
