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

Let’s goooooo

 

[Orangtiz]

I’d also like to celebrate this as well. Really exciting stuff. Should fare well against our schedule

Should fare well against our schedule

With our schedule, we're ACC contenders, which means we're playoff contenders. If some of these other names people are hinting at make it official, we should immediately be one of the top 3-4 teams in the ACC on paper and we don't play the top two in the regular season.

Obviously on paper has to translate to on the field, but at the moment, we're looking very good - and Fran still has more time to cook.

Was already planning to but now I can not wait to buy Cuse@Cal tickets. Take my money.

Personally, I’m just not willing to go that far. I need to see the coaching, specifically on offense and see how the roster gels. That stuff matters regardless of talent. OL needs some upgrades if we want to be serious contenders.

Well, it's howdy doody time now isn't it

Yeah I'd like to see the OL upgraded, and the names we're optimistic about landing on defense need to come through. But even without an OL upgrade the offense should be able to get the job done with a short passing game with this talent.

The schedule is a huge part of it. We're not going to be the best team in the ACC on paper, but we should be good enough on paper to get there a decent percentage of the time on this schedule, and then we're in "any given Saturday," territory.

I don't think the gameday coaching needs to be above replacement level for that to be true.

2025 is another story, but that's a ways off.

Close...it will be once he let's it out and is official. Axe just put out what quite a few already know or have heard. It will feel like party time then!

I agree - the talent influx is awesome, the buzz is awesome, but there’s still quite a bit of work to do with the OL in particular. We’ll see what it all looks like coming out of the spring.

It will be nice if practically all the HS recruits can early enroll.

I’ll be flying up from San Diego for that game in Berkeley

I’ll be flying up from San Diego for that game in Berkeley

Wife and I are planning to make a weekend of it. Drive down from Washington, do Disney with the kids one day, then Cuse game the other day.

Never expected to have this good of a team to potentially enjoy.

 

[CA Monk]

I’ll be flying up from San Diego for that game in Berkeley

Driving from Reno. Can’t believe it. And then Stanford later.

 

[CanadianSU]

This staff wow

 

[Rautins07]

This staff wow

Straight outta Camden!

 

[VikesCuse84]

Yes!!!! Let’s gooooo

 

[BKCuse]

LFGOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Beyond imagination last week but reality today! McCord is SUCH A BIG PIECE to land both as a field general and as a national media attention grabbing move.

What a great time to be alive !

 

[BKCuse]

Why would anyone be mad at Axe for breaking this? He’s a journalist and a journalist’s job is to get info and tweet out “scoops”.

Plus he didn’t take any kid’s moment away! McCord is transfer getting upwards of 1M to come play here en route to the NFL. It’s not like he’s a HS kid getting his moment in the spotlight.

And McCord barely even posts on social.

 

[Blood Orange]

Well not for nothing it’s better than hookers and blow. So I’m good with it

Is it really though?

yeah, I agree. If McCord had wanted to post it he would have because he is the actual source of the information since he's the signer of the agreement.

 

[CuseBlock]

I wish I was doing drugs tonight to celebrate but dreams about Syracuse Football being back for the first time in my life will suffice until Thursday

I’ve done them for you. Consider the job done.

 

[oldpinepoint]

Axe still sucks

 

[walsh2012]

He's coming based on my sources which are just me and what i want

I was right

 

[walsh2012]

If we land KMC i'm going on a bender

Bender time
