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

[sutomcat]

Ashley has become the closest thing we have to a best reporter for SU football. Props to her for staying on top of things.

You can see clearly in these great shots from 007 where Rickie has his fingers and grips the ball. In the top picture you see the progression of his fingers on the ball. His index finger is close to the end of the ball on the top, it allows for the most controlled spin on the ball as it leaves your hand; essentially acting as the "spiral finger" that imparts the majority of the rotation. his middle and ring finger on the laces and pinky just off. His thumb is in line with his middle finger on the bottom of the ball. In the bottom pic you can see the ball is level and his wrist is locked allowing him to throw a tight spiral comparable to Kyle every time.

I think Bradshaw had his pinkie on the point of the ball.

This seems like proof enough!

 

[PhatOrange]

Can we consider that confirmation ?

I think that confirms it

Agree Money. I’ve been beating the drum for Collins. I love his potential.

I think his success throwing the ball comes on recentering his weight on an anchor in front of him. When he does that - the ball is impressive. His mobility is a plus but if he can’t stay balanced while moving the pocket, his accuracy will be a negative.

Footwork essentially is effort (IMO). Let’s hope it’s there.

Good points. Love his potential

Great to see him be part of the team already !

Willie Goodacre is a Big boy

How big is he?

Well, I’d guess he’s a good acre…

(I’ll show myself out)…

Agreed. I started following her on Twitter. Pretty solid and no bathroom selfies…

I was actually hoping for a few. But, to each their own.

Jake serving it up, and dasher taking it deep.

Could've done without it, tbh. Happy to ruin this one.

I like her on the Orange Zone podcast with Sam and sometimes Mungro.

 

[bigmike]

She’s a star in the making, no doubt.

Sebastian the Ibis seemed to think so.

Bnoro must be so disappointed in the board.

Is this supposed to be a ricochet shot at someone else?

The just departed Post-Standard beat writer who certain people on this board hated for no good reason.

 

[BigNastyJon]

What’s the over/under for # of threads hijacked by Ashley W. discussion? (Which is fine with me, btw).

 

[SUFan44]

I interrupt this line of discussion for a semi-serious topic related to Collins…

If McCord’s appeal is denied, are we rolling with what we now have in the QB room? Or will we look for a semi-big fish in the portal for another year?
