Not sure this can be good

An upstate lb/rb, a juco city kid and a city rb. All commits.

I can say those are correct. And since you and I talked and had completely different sources, I'd say this is pretty factual.

I'm assuming these commits did what was posted at the top, but...?

In fact, the only reason I'm assuming this happened is because I could not image anyone creating this sort of thread without being very certain that this happened. I'm not saying the aliens don't exist.
 
Which are MAJOR advantages. The sky isn't freakin falling people
I'm just curious but at what point is the sky falling? If those 3 switch and sign with Rutgers and we lose the rest of our games is that the tipping point?

Yes, those commits were in the rutgers recruiting pavilion pre game and Edwards in the rutgers locker room post game. Why, I don't know. Hopefully like I said in the OP they like attention and just having fun. It may mean nothing ir it could mean something.

It definitely means something, but only they know what it means.

Losing a home game to Uconn would certainly qualify. Losing a road game to the 20th ranked team in the country, not so much.

As far as the recruits, those guys aren't going anywhere.

And you have spoken to them at length, have you?

This is optimistic at best. If SU makes a change at HC these kids will definitely go back on the market. To think they are solid when we are 2-4 and won't be going bowling for the 6th time in 7 years is not looking at things fairly. I just want the damn program to look like a typical D-1 BCS program. Our program is awful right now, we don't improve, we make the same mistakes, make tons of undisciplined mistakes and unforced errors. The coaching staff has done nothing to show me the future will be any different. If I had a son or nephew who was good enough to play D-1 football and SU offered him I would push him to play for Syracuse, but can tell you it wouldn't have anything to do with this coaching staff it would be for my love for SU.
 
Recruited athletes typically take all 5 visits because, why not?

Not saying its nothing, but that's true also

And the same goes for the rest of this board. Thats why its ridiculous to bellyache about kids taking all of their visits. This is a TMZ type post from Bees. Just riling up an already On edge group of fanatics

What a bunch of ridiculous speculation. Let the freakin season play out for christs sake. You already have the head coach axed and recruits bolting. Slow down there big guy
 
If we tank the season the class will surely fall apart. How long does Zach hang in there.

Let the season play out? Do you see anything improving we have 3 winnable games left on the schedule UConn, @USF, @Temple. We aren't winning @Cincinnati, Louisville at the Dome, @Missouri. I am a realist, I look at things and tell it the way I see it. I love being wrong, when I don't see things going well, but if the recruits are going to opponents games and see the performance they saw yesterday its hard to see them being 100% committed. I want the 3 kids to come to SU as they seem like nice pieces. Also, I would terminate Doug Marrone if we don't go to a bowl game this year as I don't want to wait another 3 years before we can expect to compete. Next year would be a honeymoon year for the new coaching staff instead a do or die year for DM when we will be breaking in a QB and play a schedule with 10 BCS opponents and Tulane/IAA opponent.

Take a deep breath. You aren't a realist, you're an alarmist. We have 6 freakin games left, all of which are winnable. Some more likely than others, but there isn't a game left that can be chalked up as an L.

If the head coach can't have a winning record in this conference this year, I will be right with you in calling for his head. But I'm not about to start giving us Ls, especially considering we have been in every game we have played this year.

I'm not asking for Marrone to get his contract extended and I'm not even saying he has done a good job this year (he has not). But there are 6 winnable games left. Let's see how him and the team respond this second half of the season.
 
It's mid-October and SU has 8 verbals and some of those are wavering. Unless they go on a tear, recruiting could well go into the crapper. I would term that "sky crashing down on their heads."



No.

Cincinnati, Louisville, Missouri all are better teams than Rutgers. While we "could" beat them I just don't see Syracuse playing any different than they have this year and have those 3 games chalked up as losses. I will honestly be ecstatic if we beat all 3 of UConn, @USF, and @Temple. That would put us 5-7, 4-3. Dr. Gross probably wouldn't sack him with that record and our program would be set back another 2 years.

And I'm sure you didn't think we would beat WVu by 24 last year. I bet TexasTech didn't expect to beat WVU by 30. College football is crazy. If we clean things up (big if), then we can win some games. We aren't that far off. If he can't go 4-3 this year, he should be fired. But that has not happened yet. Let's see how these last 6 games play out.
 
This thread is almost as good as the speculation thread on Broyld during the week. That one was such a classic. What Bees said obviously has some substance but to take that information and automatically assume we lost 3 commits is a little silly. Worrisome, yes but but there are still a few months before LOI. Who the hell knows what will happen between now and then.

Our turnovers have caused a 66 point swing so far this year. Average of 11 points a game. If we were simply turnover neutral we would be 5-1, with a shot at 6-0.

You realize nobody has said the commits are gone, the thread has turned into bitching about Doug Marrone thread, and I acknowledge I have because I have come to conclusion he won't lead us to the promised land.

I have come to the same realization as well, so I'm not defending Marrone. Just saying it's silly to think we lose 3 recruits just because we suck. We might but good recruits commit to crappy teams all of the time and nobody can understand why. Look at Rutgers.

Oh give me a break. It's no different than saying players A, B, C were at SU. Both are factual. Unless you think negative facts shouldn't be posted. And yea, I posted it just to rile people up. Ridiculous post.

And how do you explain the title of your post? You are a NYPost headline writer on the side, aren't you Bees?

Just post the facts. You clearly riled people up

Because it can't be good. Doesn't mean it is bad, just like I have said. Nobody here either has said we are losing any commits. No idea what it means at all, but its not a good thing. First it was TMZ now NYPost. Maybe you should be the editor here and everything go through you.
