Sean Tucker On Returning In 2022/Play calling

[elimunelson]

I think it’s BS that these HS reporters are all reaching out to players about next year when we have a big game in 5 days. They couldn’t wait till Monday?

It's the way modern society is. The portal has changed College Football into a series of 1 year contracts. Tucker probably has a better shot at more notoriety at another school than staying at SU.

I wonder if the 44 decision was him not giving the school an absolute on returning next year. If you get that number and then transfer, that would look absolutely foolish.

His answers don't give me any confidence he's staying. I hope we're not making staff decisions based on a team of 1 year contracts. These guys are pros now so i feel a bit more liberated in critiquing these dudes now b/c they are getting paid.

Tucker may ultimately play us and split.

These questions were asked at the normal Tuesday player availability. Certainly seem like fair questions (though didn't really love the answer).

If they didn't want them answered, the school shouldn't have put out Tucker for media availability this week.

The portals been there and will be there next Monday. I’m talking about their timing.

It’s HS.

When I mentioned the possibility of the power schools poaching our stars when the immediate eligibility transfer ruling was made, the overwhelming consensus told me our guys would never leave to sit on the bench at the power schools. So we should be good.

 

[Cuseman78]

Really not sure what you mean. Its journalists asking questions which is kind of their job. If SU didn't want this type of question this week, don't trot out Tucker for media availability.

It’s HS.

The program is under stress right now. last people i'm worrying about is overzealous media asking questions we kinda all want answered.

Let's see the team sack up and win vs Pittsburgh. This feels like BC 2004 when P was under an assault of terrible media and got the team to scratch out a crazy win against a ranked BC. Dino needs to dig deep here.

Judging how things have gone since 2018 with this program, this board probably shouldn't be used as a reference or a re-assuring measure for anything other then CousCuse being out of his mind.

Agree. I totally forgot to use the sarcasm font.

LOL I knew your were joking.

Tucker is from a military family. They resonate strongly with Babers.

 

[OrangeDW]

I swear Syracuse fans and media have tried their hardest to create this issue. It’s so weird.

I didn’t realize this is the first and only time athletes were available to the media.

you laugh at Cous, but now that they have Don Brown coaching them, U Mass is but a year or two away from that Big 10 invite

Tucker also said that he didn’t believe anything could change his thoughts except for a coaching change.

Sean Tucker on return to Syracuse next year: ‘I believe a lot I’m going to be here’

This would mean Dino is definitely staying…because he would love Tucker if we lost Dino. Ugh.

 

[ForCuseSake]

One of his quotes read like the dreaded "vote of confidence" a GM/Owner/AD gives a week before the HC gets canned.

Buckle up boys and girls!

 

[Scooch]

Ah yes, the wicked Syracuse media strikes again. I mean, I listen to a sports radio station who’s most popular show spent the past decade griping about the Patriots. But those guys are softies compared to the evil scribes in CNY.

 

[storange]

I read the article to mean No Dino , No Sean, and I’m fairly competent in reading comprehension. Dino stays and Tucker still goes that’s the end for me. Time to find something else to occupy my time.

 

[CousCuse]

ha almost at the exact same time I texted that thought to the fine mess brethren. There would be no point if the good players end up bolting to the SEC and/or greener pastures. I'd end up seeing a lot more div 3 and other games. So be it. Friggin hate what college athletics has become.

Go Red Dragons!!

 

[Cuse181]

The minute this BS transfer portal rule changed I knew this would happen. Just never figured Syracuse would be the school because the recruiting is so bad.

Can you blame him? Go to a factory school, get 6 figure paycheck to hold you over until you turn pro and you can compete for meaningful bowls/championships? Or stay at Syracuse, deal with this BS and fight for a trip to the Pinstripe Bowl.

Except that six figure paycheck hasn’t really materialized for those outside of the top 5 players. Even King at a football wild Miami didn’t even clear 50K according to 247.

 

[Cuseregular]

Go Red Dragons!!

you got that right. One of our very good family friends is a frosh OT there now. Gonna probably go to some of his games anyway...

 

[RandomGuy]

Would be the ultimate Syracuse thing for Syracuse to keep DB because of Tucker and then have Tucker hop in the portal.

Book it. The only thing you missed, is that Tucker will be wearing #44 as a special tribute to his former school.

You know you like Donny Brown. He is going to recruit the hell out of NE/NY.
