Total trust in Fran, but will recruitniks

[PAcuse]

I don't put much stock in "recruitniks" as most have an agenda, see Rutgers having "top 25" classes multiple times.

Very logical.

It could also be that the coaches [behind the scenes] pressed Sidwar to pull the trigger but he is slow rolling, or that the coaching staff thinks things aren't trending favorably for SU.

So they opt for a bird in the hand who has tools, instead of waiting and potentially missing out on Sidwar.

If the coaches really wanted Sidwar they wouldn't have just given up. Maybe Sidwar proved to the coaches that we didn't want him..or just tipped the scales the other way...You either wanna play for Cuse or don't, We are movin on. Good luck.

I think we said the same thing...
pretty much.

I would rather have a UNC flip than a Rutgers flip based on historic QB play at both schools.

I don't think either are sure things but our staff feel they can get the best out of anyone. That said, Lott has superior tools to build with

Fran doesn't screw around. In return he doesn't let anyone screw with him. They gave the kid plenty of time and moved on.

I would be a little surprised if we told the other QB’s to cancel their visits, given Coach’s propensity to demand open competition. However, he has mentioned in the past wanting to keep the QB room light.

Also think that Syracuse being viewed as a transfer QB destination may have a lot to do with the OC position, and whether we continue to have NFL type minds there. It will be tough to remain in as favorable a situation as we currently are with Coach Nixon.

We're saying the same thing. Either way we didn't want to wait for him to commit anymore.

Actually not saying the same thing.

The way you put it, you were placing blame on the school (we waited too long).

If we didn’t want to wait anymore, that’s one thing. By you saying “we waited too long”, you’re implying we missed out on others that could have committed.

I don’t think that’s true. But could be wrong.

Either way, you weren’t saying the same thing.

I interpreted as meaning we waited long enough.
