Class of 2024 TE Michael Smith (GA) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (1/4/26)

[cayugacuse]

The lack of information about where Smith is ending up, makes it feel like we’ve got South Carolina by the short hairs and are going to milk this for as much as we can.

Remembering the LaNorris Sellers flip maybe. Unforgiven.

 

[MGraves5]

Isn’t this all moot because the deadline passed for entering the portal and I … assume he did not?

He did enter, otherwise we would have been tampering.

Trade him for a big DT

Or the story is made up nonsense…

I’m not sure all of the details are right but it’s not made up. There’s been a lot of crazy stuff going on.

Their 3rd tackle, a bag of balls, a soda machine for the locker room

I’d prefer to keep both transfer tight ends. Think they would both contribute this year.

Assuming Smith comes all in and full DART then hell yes.

Not made up. I fully expect he will return to SCar. I'm not sure what leverage we have to force compensation.

 

[javadoc]

Imagine he starts purposely dropping passes just to spite us

Bad faith performance of a contract. Provable? Probably not. But a dangerous game.

a signed contract.

 

[AZOrange]

a signed contract.

Yep

 

[007]

a signed contract.

Yeah, I get that part. We can hold him here based on that contract. I was talking about leverage as it relates to seeking compensation from SCar for releasing him from that contract.

 

[Janner]

If miami can buy out Mensah's contract, then make USC do the same

 

[OrangeTarheel]

He did enter, otherwise we would have been tampering.

Yea he was in the portal, and signed with us. Now the portal is closed. So …

 

[upperdeck]

do you sign NIL with a school or with a entity?

I mean you could do a subway ad for NIL, it doesnt mean you even have to show school colors in the ad
