Think this is more likely the case than not. He's not going to say something bad about a kid who competed hard and may end up portalling either. He's big on loyalty. He may also know Jakari is going to stay and wants to motivate him that way too.
If it’s even and one guy has been in the program over a year less than the other, then it’s not really even is it?
He won the 2027 Heisman for LSU in a new dynasty I started on NCAA 25. So EA thinks he has a ton of potential.
Best judge of talent there is. They know
I think Fran was saying Collins has gotten up to speed with the O while having sent much less time learning it than Jakari. Jackari’s primary advantage was his institutional knowledge of our O and personnel.
6 months ago this forum was singing his praises and saying how good he is. Collins was brought in for depth. It just shows how little we all know what actually is going on behind the scenes. For him to pick Collins this early is telling of how good Jakari is.
It's not telling at all. Fran said a week ago they were going to choose a starting QB quickly.
and your point is? Probably the reason he transferred one would imagine. Do you think the starting QB at LSU is going to transfer to Syracuse? You do realize that Van Buren transferred to LSU after Collins left.
They entered the portal around the same time. The writing was on the wall for Rickie. We tried to sign Van Buren out of HS. He was a priority recruit. He'd be starting for us this year if he came, and he'd be backing up Nussmeier ahead of Collins if Collins stayed at LSU.
Who thought Collins was coming here for depth?
The likely reality is that it’s not even.
I don’t think people thought Collins was just a depth piece. It was pretty clear he would be competing to start.
still don't see any relevance to this with regard to his position at Syracuse.
I think he is saying Collins isn’t a savior, which isn’t a huge revelation. Doesn’t mean he’s not the best guy at the moment.
Yeah, He's a wait and see type for sure. Nobody knows how good the kid will be.
Collins was going to get a very strong chance to start at LSU if Nussmeier had gone into the draft.
I don’t think strong is correct.
How does he know if Collins will be a savior or not? Time will tell but his view isn’t any more valid than someone saying Collins will be the next great Cuse quarterback. Also, this isn’t a knock on you. I just find his definitive tone questionable.
