[W'boro'Cuse315]

How is his last name pronounced?

The answer to this will determine if his nickname is Silent K or Silent P.

 

[Alsacs]

Boom sauce.
The yearly game in NC between NC State and Wake and every other year in Clemson helps.
Next year he will get two games in 2 NC games.
That helps for these kids.

Great pickup and a position we can always use.

 

[CA Monk]

Boom! Blue Chipper in an area of need.
Who could ask for anything more?
Me.
Me and Oliver Twist.
"Please sir, I want some more."

How long do you think until the other commits, Jack?

Really think it’s any day now. Surprised he wasn’t first TBH. Have to think with Lee on board, it will come soon. They got a long very well on their official.

Fantastic. What a way to start the long weekend.

Great pickup... awesome stuff, huge upside.

How is his last name pronounced?

If my years of watching European soccer have taught me anything I'd guess it's pronounced:

Kuh-Pogba. But say the "Kuh" fast because it's only one syllable. Kuhpogba.

From the rivls article:

"It seems like Syracuse has turned a corner. I think he likes the fact that, even though he won't be in North Carolina, he'll actually play in North Carolina several times a year."

Thank you, ACC.

Cantin-Arku and Kpogba?

Just me or is our LB corp of the future Star Wars characters?!

Freaking incredible pickup ...

Cantin-Arku and Kpogba?

Just me or is our LB corp of the future Star Wars characters?!

Freaking incredible pickup ...

When our next CB or slot receiver is from Dagobah, then we have really hit the big time! (Or, any and all from Hoth, aka Canada!)

Sorry...geeking out a bit

Kuh-Pogba. But say the "Kuh" fast because it's only one syllable. Kuhpogba.

I've heard it pronounced several ways in different videos across the interwebs, but an article on a WV site (written while Kpogba was still a WVU commit) says it is pronounced ‘Ko-buh’.

Certainly much easier than any other I've heard.

 

[Trueblue25]

First one from the Louisville weekend in... great land. Very excited about his upside. Exactly the type of ACC LB we need.

Has the cover skills you need from an outside backer and will be able to spy a QB, or lock down a TE/RB.

Can swagdaddy deliver us one more miracle before the end of November?
