Class of 2023 OT/DT Naquil Betrand (PA / MD) Portal from Texas A&M to Bama

[JRHEETER]

Just got a weird feeling he’s going to flip to us

 

[cali315phan]

Somebody on here wrote 'We'll catch up with him in the portal', and I think they're correct.

Going to one of these $EC factories is a huge (lack of) culture shock. If he doesn't shine right away, Fisher will simply go 'Next!'

Likely we catch up with him pre portal.

Winning perfumes everything.

I don't think it's that weird.

Like, he turns out be an alien or something. That would be pretty weird.

 

[PhatOrange]

Odd thing with Norman is that he isn't on the IMG roster...not at least that I could find.

Thought I read he went back to New Jersey

Correct. No longer at IMG.

Yeah. I don't think we will have to wait for the transfer portal

Ah….so he is an alien.

Syracuse is football is set to host over 50 recruits on Saturday for the Orange's season opener against Louisville. Included in that group are two SEC commits, All Syracuse has learned. Texas A&M offensive line commit Naquil Betrand and Florida defensive line commit Will Norman are on campus for the visit. They will be in attendance Saturday night when the Orange faces the Cardinals to kick off the 2022 season.

Betrand committed to Texas A&M last month over other finalists Syracuse, Georgia, Auburn, Kentucky and Penn State. He officially visited Syracuse in June. Despite his pledge to the Aggies, it does not appear as if the Orange has stopped recruiting him. Betrand is one of the top offensive linemen in the Northeast in the 2023 class. Betrand is listed at 6-7, 310 pounds.

Caught a comment on Facebook regarding visitors this weekend, sounds like this kid is coming up again

He came for Lville right? I wonder if this guy always wanted Cuse and has some friends/advisors steering him to A&M.

Can we start a collective to purchase this young man season tickets?

Yes he did.

I wonder how much a role (if any) his faith will have over his decision… Syracuse, NY seems like a much friendlier place to be a Muslim than College Station, TX

 

[Franz69]

For argument's sake, let's say A&M gave him a bag. What's stopping him from just keeping the bag and flipping? It's not like they have a contract. It's like a woman breaking an engagement but keeping the ring.

Hmmm

I interpret this tweet as:

Be prepared for Texas A&M to over-recruit you and hope that they don't. Weird

Just come to Syracuse already

Which she can't. The ring is a gift in contemplation of marriage. She says no to the marriage, she has to give the ring back. (Actually had to sue a woman (for a client) for that exact same outcome. )
Of course, in your scenario, A&M giving him money would violate NCAA rules, making it less likely for them to report it.

Bubba Jimbo golly gosh Fisher has to be the most overpaid meat head coach on the planet.

For ACC pride and glory, hope they lose today. He's on the hot seat. Lose today and I doubt he survived the season

On my way into work this morning, listening to ESPNU on Sirius they were talking about his record at ATM and how much they are paying him. Said they didn't pay him for 8 win seasons. They paid him to compete for SEC titles and Playoffs.

He is 35-15 there. I'd kill for Dino to do that the next four years.

They've won 9, 8, 9, 8 and that's not good enough for them.

It wasn't good enough for Nebraska back in the day either...

Finebaum, spelling, said his buyout is $90,000,000.

And one of those 9 win seasons was the covid year where they finished 9-1 and ranked 4th. Their highest end of the year ranking since 1939. ATM fans and boosters are so delusional.
