Is Turning Stone in the NIL game or would Syracuse not allow that even if they wanted to?

 

[JrodCuse]

We need that thread title updated! He’s now Portal from OSU - Visiting DA CUSE.

Gotta say it in da diitka voice for full effect.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

This would be a really nice pickup.

But why not get greedy and say we also get Angeli.

For the first time in my adult life, Syracuse football recruiting is fun. Had to come join the party. Hope Coach Fran brings out all the Ferraris this weekend for this kid

I'm not going to deny that McCord may have better options to go to one of the better programs or more scenic locales (not that Columbus Ohio was any type of locale, its not, it sucks tbh). But what we can fulfill is that sometimes Jersey feels more comfortable around Jersey. Hope he's one, I think it would be fun. I also think HCFB and the staff are uniquely equipped to handle any family situations that may arise shall we say.

Love an old school pro style offense and it can still work in college

Same.

Pro style requires more sound oline fundamentals, that translate better to the NFL game. For any oline transfer, that could be a big deal if they are trying to up their draft potential. That could be a sound strategy on securing quality oline.

Maybe we can even replicate the Jersey aromas. The smell of raw sewage and gasoline will warm the heart.

Just take him down Hiawatha Blvd during the afternoon

What are they going to do to top the Hibachi in the Dome this weekend?

Maybe Dinosaur can bring in some tow behind smokers and cook a dinner up right inside the dome. The place would smell Devine. Or I'm thinking we could bring in a bunch of different food trucks and park them around the dome, next to the Ferraris, so the kids have options.

In addition to being a clear impact get at the qb position, McCord would do something else for us. Getting him would legitimize what is happening more than another team's backup qb would. Right now, if Michigan or Notre Dame were to take the backup off another team, he and they will get the benefit of the doubt with media and recruits "Oh he must be GOOD for them to take him." We wouldn't get that yet. Even if our coaches love the tape of said qb we got, the narrative would be "He must not be as good as we thought..." until we PROVE otherwise. And while McCird has some detractors, recruits in the portal and HS have seen this guy for themselves leading an 11 - 1 team and throwing 24 TDs. Look at Mews' eyeball reaction on twitter... receivers know this guy and KNOW he has talent. McCord is instant credibility that we are playing at the big boy table from now on. It gives Fran the ability to walk into any kid's home and be at the same level as ANY P4 coach.

What are they going to do to top the Hibachi in the Dome this weekend?

Hot Ones competitions hosted by JB Smoove followed by foul shooting contests run by Special Assistant James Boeheim.

SU ran the ball pretty well even though they couldn't pass for the last 3 games, I think that definitely showed some potential to have a solid running game only now a better/healthy QB and potentially WR's/TE's that can get open.

One thing I noticed in those games was that the WR's were getting open without having a plethora of DB's around with the 4 WR sets.

 

[anomander]

That is a good suggestion. But didn’t Nassib have a decent oline, at least decent enough in the old Big East to protect him?

He probably had the best OL we’ve had in the last 20 years, especially when Pugh came back. Pugh Chibane Mackey Trudo Hickey i believe ?

Michael Hay too I believe, he was good too

 

[rocklloyd]

First shift reporting for duty

 

[rocklloyd]

Michael Hay too I believe, he was good too

But man he could commit some dumb penalties

 

[Actionthrill]

I must have missed it who is Angeli?

I was told there is a huge 100+ person dinner for all recruits/family/coaches at Heritage Hill Saturday night.

I hope we let them get involved.

Notre Dame QB also in the portal.

Edit: hypothesized to be entering the portal.

He'd fit right in with Dino's teams

Surprised they aren't doing something in the city itself
