Message: [QUOTE="JimBoston, post: 3607570, member: 1312"] If Syracuse wants to be competitive in the ACC, then it has to be a development program. At almost every school, linemen are development projects. All linemen should be redshirted and it should be very rare that an o-lineman starts before his 3rd year (redshirt soph.). Also, players from the Northeast are rarely as developed as players form the South as football is more of an all year sport in the South. Thus, there can be more upside to a kid from the Northeast who has not been developed in high school. Speed is speed and it is harder to develop, but you can bulk up speedy guys. Finally, the lack of QB depth this year is hard to understand. The transfer portal is full of QBs that can contribute immediately. [/QUOTE]
