Class of 2021 QB Kyle McCord (NJ) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (12/17/23)

[SUforme]

I said this before, but the Sunday night where he said that he was not going to be our coach, I didn't sleep that night I was so upset. Which is ridiculous on it's face. And what has happened since has made it even more ridiculous.

I have to admit I was right there with you, but with this hire I have come around done a 180 and have my foot on floorboard and only looking forward. So much positivity happening it's hard not to get wrapped up in it as it just engulfs you.

On the surface he was our one chance at redemption in short order. But don’t blame yourself or any of us. We didn’t know - it wasn’t our fault

These are some wild times for sure! I can’t believe how quickly things have shifted from a short time ago when I was so bummed after the BC game to now where I’m having a hard time keeping up with all of the recruits and transfers considering and committing to SU!

 

[JeremyCuse]

You know for sure that we don’t have this money ? I just can’t believe that’s the case. These high level recruits require a lot of NIL. Obviously we have offered them good money. It’s coming from somewhere

We have NIL money more then a decent amount of other schools. If we're gonna play with the big dogs and have a legit shot at guys like Bolden and portal guys we need more. Browns hire has thankfully brought more in but it's a constant battle and we have to take care of our current players as well.

Sounds like Jaquez is sticking around

Well said.

What does a starting qb cost right now in the portal? 2mm?

this guy isn’t worth 1M let alone 2M.

only player worth 7 figures is probably McCall according to Luginbill.

That game felt like rock bottom

Like even the 1-10 Gerg or Covid season didn't feel as bad as that game.

Going from 10-3 in 2018 to basically accepting mediocrity within five years was deflating.

So glad things look so much different today

I am not disagreeing, but if the rumors are true that an initial offer was tendered and it got him to confirm the visit, it has to be in a ballpark he liked, no??

Or it's just a bargaining chip visit for another interested program, which could be the case.

Are people still calling for Dan Mullen?? Asking for a friend who is scared to post...

I barely remember that weekend lol.

McCord is a rigid pocket passer. Don’t we need dual threat QBs to keep defenses honest? Our Oline has never been able to protect dropback pro style passers (i.e. DeVito). Dual threats like Dungey and Schrader have fared better. Plus FB said at his presser that we're going to run the ball. I'm not seeing how a QB like McCord fits in with a weakness in the Oline. FB is getting good portal transfers but no Olineman so far. Worries me.

Need Fran’s face on this and Jersey plates on the car…,

I know this is McCord's thread but seeing as though there was talk about Fleming being a package deal I figured I'd share here.

Sounds like Devito+... McCord's old man drove the OSU staff batty evidently, if the rumors are to be believed.

Fire-up the hibachi.
Coaches, practice your "spatula shrimp toss" catching.
Make sure both Fran Browns are there, sitting between the 4 most important recruits.
Have a gleaming Rolls-Royce on premises with Nikki Minaj wearing a chauffeur's cap in the driver's seat.
Make it happen JW!

I need to buy Ichiban stock before all these commits arrive on campus.

Agree we need to improve the line. However, he does not need to be a a dual threat. Ability to roll out, throw on the run and play action. If he can scan the field and get the ball out quick it will be okay. Getting receivers that will get separation and not get locked down will be a big benefit.

 

[cuse62]

Are the big 10 defenses that good because, the offenses in that conference are offensive?

 

[orangepassion]

So is Fleming visiting too?

Personally, if we get Haynes, along with what we already have, i think we're good at WR. I'd rather put any and all remaining focus on linemen. All the receivers in the world don't matter if your QB is on his back and you can't run the ball.

 

[LAOrange]

We've all must have been good this year...for a change.

Have I really been bad for twenty years?

That is true, OG can do this and thus open up opportunities for other WRs

 

[wiseman3]

Offers been put forth, this is already in motion.

I live for these kind of posts...give us 1 more! Literally anything! Chances of us getting him? What they're eating for dinner tomorrow? I'll eat it up

Still only on page 28 but I see we’ve evolved from bourbon to cocaine fairly quickly.

I like the idea of a pocket passer with Gadsden staying and the addition receivers we are signing. We play in a dome. It’s a huge recruiting advantage to sign offensive talent.

I’m sure Fran is selling the perfect environment to play in for passing to McCord and the receivers.
