Class of 2023 QB Rickie Collins (LA) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (12/20/24)

Shrader got hurt. When he was healthy, at the beginning of his seasons, he was outstanding.
Outstanding is strong. He was a serviceable passer when healthy. Nothing more or less. His arm strength was not good and his accuracy left a lot to be desired.

I’ll never question his toughness or running ability though. I think GS will be looked at fondly down the line
 
No inside info here, but what seems to me to make sense... With McCord's appeal hanging in the balance, they're making it clear that whoever comes in is either going to compete with Jakhari or be waiting a year behind McCord.

Salter says no thanks, so they move on to Collins. He's cool with it, based on Kyle's appeal seeming like a longshot. He accepts and his side leaks it, but Fran tells him McCord getting another year is now way more likely than it seemed before, maybe 50-50, and Rickie should probably hold off and see what happens next week.

Rickie's agent/family tell him he better fully reopen the process to be safe, and here we are.

This would make sense right?
 
I get a last minute invite to watch Interstellar on an IMAX and come back to this?!?!?!?!?

Why would he be cool with it originally and then all of the sudden not be cool with it?

McCord getting another year is nowhere close to 50/50. It's essentially the dumb and dumber scene at this point.
 
Not denying your memory but I know I have never seen him on tv until he did some pre game show stuff. I always remember him as the guy that took over for prime time Adam Schein. It’s been many years so it’s all blurry but if he was on tv, it was short lived
Axe's radio show, On The Block, was on TV everyday for 2hrs from like 3 to 5 for a good stretch. I know this because I watched it everyday when I got home from work and occasionally my emails made it on the show. Does this make Axe a "tv journalist"? IDK

I think the chances the NCAA does 5 to play 5 sooner rather than later went up significantly today.
 
Doesn’t Holland also do the stuff he’s complaining about others doing?

Brent clearly got something wrong (or too early, we’ll see). But he’s glass housing it. He’s tweeted and then deleted some stuff.
I dont know but you are probably right.
Its very rarely a good idea to call out anyone, especially a colleague on social media.
He may have prematurely called him out for prematurely reporting on something, whatever.
The race to be first is stale. Calling people out is just lame.
Offering unique insights is the only thîng necessary. Some thîngs as far as time goes, you can be last but still fînish first.

Mccord is gone.

Occam’s Razor right here
 
If Collins signs with Cuse doesn’t that mean that Axe got the story right? In his post he said “intends to” not that he already had.
“my commitment is still open” makes it look like he’s wrong and that’s all readers and fans will remember.

Hard to see footwork of what he’s done since at LSU but in all his tapes, when his weight is on his front foot - he slings the crap out of it. I really like his hips as well. Does a really nice job of squaring up when on the move. I think that’s what makes him dangerous out of the pocket.
The thing that worries my (non professional) eye is his arm action.

His throws just look funny to me. Maybe it's that he has very long arms compared to most quarterbacks?

I agree, a healthy Shrader brought a lot to the table. He wasn't the passer McCord is, but his ability to run narrows the gap. His problem was that he was rarely healthy.

Maybe we lose a game or two this season with a healthy Schrader that McCord won? Everything else about the two teams was so different, it's hard to guess.

No doubt, based on what actually happened, I'm thrilled we have Fran Brown and McCord.

I'm really hoping that we get Collins or that whatever else Fran is holding out for happens.
