They don’t look too concerned.

The SC coaches were there in full force as well.

There will be a lot of pressure on him and his family to play for South Carolina. They will push SEC, playing close to home, NIL money ... Syracuse needs to win this.

Are they talking with Sellers Dad?

Why wasn’t Dino there? If SC has its entire staff there and it sounded like it was Anae/Beck for us……why didn’t Dino go?

Maybe that is not a fair question but they cannot lose this kid to a program that had this kid living in its backyard and just started recruiting him two months ago and does not currently have an OC.

FWIW, the SC board is confident that he will do an official visit with him in next couple of weeks and will offer him an NIL deal that cannot be matched.

We have the ability to match fairly substantial NIL deals now and not just because of Weitsman. Will be interesting to see what happens in the next three weeks.

The kid is amazing. That is against a great traditional high school football program in Rock Hill, SC (on the NC/SC border). Not overly familiar with Florence HS, but years ago I lived in Rock Hill for about six months and my roommate was a walk on at Clemson. He introduced me to a bunch of guys playing D1 football that graduated from Northwestern. The program is no joke!

 

[CA Monk]

Could be program changing. Guardedly opti….oh bs let’s get this guy.

Dino should’ve been there.

Coaches will be doing in-home visits this next 2 1/2 weeks until early signing. I think that it is more important for the coaches to visit/recruit him in his home with his parents.

This should be incentive for Dino & staff to lock down some big time Oline recruits or portal guys to protect Lanorris. We need certainty that he won’t get killed like Dungey, TD and Shrader (at times this year) did. The ball is in their court.

He should have done both.

Who are they looking at as OC? Hopefully not some QB coach at a university up north.

Nebraska poached him. The SC fans are expecting an OC hire like Mullen/Briles very shortly.

Match an SC deal? Where's the $ coming from? Asking out of curiosity not to be a jerk, I feel like I'm out of the loop with a lot of the NIL stuff at SU. Other than I know it exists.

 

[kcsu]

Relationships matter. As long as we come close on NIL hes Orange

 

[qdawgg]

Dino should’ve been there.

In the final minutes he made an informed decision based on his experience not to be there.



Relax everyone, I'm joking.

Can’t get into specifics but local small business and regional/upstate companies are stepping up to the plate a bit. Adam’s not the only big individual name too.

Things are being handled, we just need wins

Good to know. I always worried we wouldn't be able to compete at all in the current landscape. I don't expect SEC level "keeping up" but some level to stay competitive in the ACC. Thanks.

I think a head coach is only allowed one home visit

He got the time of the game wrong

We aren’t competing with schools like Auburn, Tennessee, Bama, TOSU, Boomer, UGA, USC etc.

But we can make things interesting against the South Carolina’s of the world late in the cycle.

And the key relationship here is Anae/Beck. Dino has showed him plenty of love and I have no doubt he will do what is necessary to win here. But it ultimately comes down to Beck -- it's why he chose SU.

 

[OrangeFreek]

Would enjoy reading the SC board about him now

Yeah Dino is always an easy target for our wrath but this is all about Beck, and Anae to a lesser degree.
