[orangenauburn]

Ok. RB depth is an issue now

 

[crales44]

¡Ay, caramba!

 

[djorange1989]

yeahhh, I think we need an RB from the portal now.

 

[phil77]

Dino going to have his second winning season at Syracuse the Portal Season.

He must have seen Allens game yesterday

In a way it’s a good sign for the “what if Tuck leaves” crowd. Cooper knows he’s not gonna get a lot of snaps because Tuck isn’t going anywhere. Still, he will be missed and we need a serviceable backup ASAP.

 

[Chip]

He didn't want to wait and meet the new ST coach?

I hope this is all part of some roster purge plan.

 

[Trueblue25]

Thats a team captain.

Our special teams has been gutted between Lutz, GCA and Benson. In today’s age that matters.

 

[jgeorge322]

I mean, our season cannot hinge on this guy…

As a team with no passing offense our RB depth now looks like Sean Tucker, Hough if healthy, then Allen and I don’t even know who else.

Special teams, back up RB, slot receiver

He's a glue guy. You need them on a roster

 

[Nahson]

I like Tucker, Hough, Allen... IF Josh can bounce back from whatever injury he sustained and is ready to go.

 

[RICuse44]

Agree you need him… but at the same time where is he going? Hamilton? Patriot league? Unless it’s somewhere to play safety

As a team with no passing offense our RB depth now looks like Sean Tucker, Hough if healthy, then Allen and I don’t even know who else.

And it's hard to get a transfer portal RB for depth on a team where the starting RB had about 107% of the RB carries for 1,500 yards.

Lutz led the team for most snaps on specials and was 2nd in special team tackles behind GCA.

Teams in CFB and the NFL have bad seasons because they don’t have guys like this. Everyone looks at the best 10% on the team and forgets about the rest of the roster or entire segment of the game - special teams.

He probably feels that he is good enough to be a starting RB somewhere and doesn't want to be ST and only 3rd RB here.

Who’s the 2nd stringer ahead of him?

 

[texascpa]

Not upset with any grad transfer going to the portal. Just a couple years ago, that's the only way a grad transfer could play.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Thats a team captain.

And a Syracuse University graduate.

He's got his degree.

 

[Ozone!]

It is possible that a new ST Coordinator would bring in talent with experience!

 

[hoopsupstate]

He's an important piece of the underbelly of a team? We always lack depth and we continue to lose backup players (Cole, Cantù, Lutz). All three a big losses. Lutz was even a captain. Loyalty means absolutely nothing today. It works both ways.

I’m not upset with lutz. Just nervous about # of RB’s in the room for the spring and fall. Hard to do scrimmages with one healthy RB.
