So…anything interesting happening today? Holy (insert swear words)!

 

[McNabb2Brominski]

Just hope this isn’t a Drew Allen 2.0 situation

 

[GoSU96]

Now it’s real.

Just hope this isn’t a Drew Allen 2.0 situation

Had Drew Allen had any success before coming here?

Drew Allen wasn’t in the same state let alone same ballpark as Kyle McCord as a HS or transfer prospect.

Some good quotes in here, obviously knows Fran and Nunzio being a jersey guy, but didn't realize he had ties with Jeff Nixon as well.

McCord going to Syracuse after year as OSU QB1

Syracuse has landed quarterback Kyle McCord from the transfer portal. McCord was Ohio State's starter this season, going 11-1 while throwing for 3,170 yards, 24 touchdowns and six interceptions.

Fwiw, a lot of Ohio State players are congratulating him on Instagram.

Ask them if they like free hibachi and Ferrari’s.

I don’t think people understand how big this is. This is national relevance immediately !

I don’t think people understand how big this is. This is national relevance immediately !

And it makes those people look at what else we have been doing. It ties it all together in a big Orange ribbon

Now we need to search the couch cushions for some more NIL money to sign his former 5 star WR Flemming.

This is the transfer that will get people to sit up and really take notice. We all know what’s going on because we live on this site. But the casual fan understands the importance of a QB. They know Ohio State. McCord is a name people will recognize and this news should land us on the ESPN ticker scroll.

This. Open the floodgates, all prospects take notice. We got past the belief-without-evidence stage pretty quickly in recruiting.

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

I can’t believe this is real life. The last couple of weeks have been an amazing Christmas present.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

You must have been sitting directly in the animal pen. I’ve been there multiple times and never experienced that. To each their own I guess

I was at a long table parallel to the bar. There was a door nearby where people would go out back to see the animals. Every time the door opened, which was often, the smell of manure, wet hay and animals wafted in. If that’s your scene, cool. As you said, to each their own.

Don't mean to pile on or be negative...but this was NEVER even a option if Dino was here.

 

[DPCuse]

Now we need to search the couch cushions for some more NIL money to sign his former 5 star WR Flemming.

AND Harrison Jr. Why not? We got Fran Brown. Anything is possible.

 

[Orangeman]

This is genius on so many levels:

1) it’s just cool as heck
2) getting local businesses involved is great to generate additional interest in SU
3) every business that gets involved is potential extra NIL when you consider marketing/affiliate marketing as a way to help all involved

Fran knows what he’s doing and it’s glorious to witness.

cool, but can someone fill rest of us in on what happened here had a recruiting party at a restaurant?

this is not snarky I’m genuinely interested thx

 

[kuethstheman]

My vote would be to get some NFL-quality OL.

 

[UpstateSM]

Just hope this isn’t a Drew Allen 2.0 situation

What's wrong with you?

 

[PhatOrange]

My preference has always been a dual threat QB, which McCord is not. Certainly an upgrade but my concern is look what he had around him to make him that successful. Do we have that...not sure. Fingers crossed.

we’re bringing in a dual threat QB. His name is Jakari Williams
