RB Cooper Lutz transferring to Vanderbilt

[Trueblue25]

And a Syracuse University graduate.

He's got his degree.

Good for him. I’m not upset with the player’s choice, I’m concerned our staff isn’t retaining contributors. Especially of the team captain variety.

 

[SU68]

Who’s the 2nd stringer ahead of him?

Didn't Adams get more carries last year?

 

[RandomGuy]

We can just rely on our passing game.

 

[jgeorge322]

Special teams, back up RB, slot receiver

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

I think we can replace him w ease.

 

[orangenauburn]

I think we can replace him w ease.

If we could we would have already. Our recruiting is in the dregs

 

[qdawgg]

I think we can replace him w ease.

We say that every year for every position with depth issues. But here we are.

 

[jgeorge322]

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.

Ill wait to see who we bring in before I get too upset over this one. He is on bottom of my list of concerns that I have regarding departures

 

[CbusCuse]

Are you friggin kidding me. This is getting ridiculous. I hate what the NCAA has turned college football into with allowing players to transfer at any time without having to sit out a year. I don't get why they had to do this.

Hopefully this decision can somehow convince another young talented RB to come here seeing a very wide open shot at playing time in 2023 and beyond.

I dont know, im not glad hes leaving, but i dont think of cooper lutz and think quality depth, i bet we can bring in someone as good or better

 

[RandomGuy]

Ok. RB depth is an issue now

We still have Tucker. Injured Hough. PwOs

 

[qdawgg]

I don’t disagree with that. My worry is whether we do. He at least provided solid depth. We may end up having a bigger depth issue next year, it’s a potential huge concern. That also impacts not next year but they year or two after. Especially when talking about the lines. Portal does help that though.

[OrangeXtreme]

I'd be happy to have 5-6 RB's stashed on the bench.

If one gets hurt, you've got 4-5 more.

Problem is, the guys who are 4,5,6 on the bench won't be happy.

 

[AngryOtto]

If he graduated and he really is looking for a masters program it makes sense. Otherwise why leave a team that you are the special teams captain and got snaps at rb.
So many of these players think the grass will be greener. A majority of them will learn that is not true. Life lessons.

I have 0 problem with guys who have graduated with eligibility and want to grad transfer somewhere else. They fulfilled their obligation to the school as far as I’m concerned.

The NCAA has turned the whole thing into a cluster by allowing underclassmen to transfer with basically no rules whatsoever.

 

[CA Monk]

Wish he was staying, but he fumbled a few inopportune times.
That's all I got to assuage my bewilderment at what is happening to the college football I once knew.
This isn't just a Syracuse problem.

Dino needs to leverage the portal to the max to upgrade every position; thats my major concern. Hopefully hes doing that.

Probably to go down a level and get more offense snaps.

 

[orangenauburn]

We still have Tucker. Injured Hough. PwOs

I mean yeah looking like
Tucker
True Frosh Allen / RsFr Hough
Pena?
PWOs

Just hope Hough didn't lose his power and burst and that Allen is what he appears to be.

Sean workhorsed this year for us.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

So, it is just me, or do we have some dudes that are graduating really fast?

How are they pulling that off?

I think it's great btw, it just blows my mind.

 

[Grbac]

Still has two years of eligibility. Hate to lose him. But I wouldn’t want to be stuck behind Shrader and Tucker for carries either.

Hope he goes somewhere and gets lots of playing time.

 

[SUDadx2]

And a Syracuse University graduate.

He's got his degree.

A graduate probably looking for a graduate program where he can also play.

A man with a plan; get you bachelor’s and master’s degrees paid for.

Summer school is the reason. If guys are smart they garner 9-12 credits over the summer sessions.

Its easier then you think, if guys take summer classes you can load up quickly especially with school who have multiple summer sessions. Some schools even offer credits/classes over winter break, so you can get in a lot more classes/credits then say a "normal" student.

If he has done well academically he could be a monster in the Patriot League.
