Trebor Pena transferring to PSU

[SUforme]

Team captain team captain...

Feel free to be mad about it, but I’ll stand by the point that we really only care about loyalty to Syracuse.

I stand by calling him disloyal 100%. Considering the way he went about this, that is exactly what he is.

 

[721Comstock]

Dart and Team vs ME

Yeah! There’s no ME in team!!

Wait, what?

But seriously - hope that check from The Ewe or wherever doesn’t bounce.

FFF these guys trying to pull this ish at the end of Spring camp.

Hope he ends up at UNLV, and then finds out that what they offer,
and what they actually pay,
are vastly different.

Over a million for Trebor Pena???

In this economy?!

 

[orangeinohio]

Bet that wasn't the case when Fran first heard the news.

 

[upperdeck]

WR is still not a position of concern.

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

Fran’s tongue is going to be sore after this interview.

I think he wisely took a day and did this today. And I'm glad he did.

 

[anomander]

But he also mentioned he thought $2 million for a WR was too much

If we’ve already got to the point where non-NFL level college slot receivers are getting $2M this whole thing is ’d. I’d say $500K is perfect. I wouldn’t give him more than that i would save it for the warchest.

 

[Trueblue25]

cuse has a lot more nil than people realize for football. Im glad we dont light it on fire whenever the chance arises

 

[David321]

That's what's up!

 

[Sdot]

Fran said Pena had concerns about if Rickie was good enough to be QB1. Which may be true but Rickie still has 3 year of eligibility to grow, let him get acclimated this year.

 

[RedtheGOB]

Peña isn’t worth 2 million to SU, but very well might be to someone else.

You mean like a Miami team that has a coach that can’t recruit and a Fran Brown literally taking all the best recruits out of the local high school in their backyard.

 

[RedtheGOB]

coach says not a money thing.

False.

 

[RedtheGOB]

WR is still not a position of concern.

That doesn’t the fit the doom narrative!

True. I expected a guarantee that Rickie would be a better passer than McCorz.

 

[Sdot]

Wide receiver wise they have about 6-7 guys who can go out there right now and contribute. Gill, Ross Simmons, Ross, Hornsby, Boobie Johnson, Hatcher, Demetres Samuel.

I’m glad Fran knows what he needs. He straight up said multiple times Pena is not worth the squeeze for what he wanted.

Exactly. Don’t we have like 4 freshman too.

Yep I’m really high on Gabe Daniels wether he plays Receiver or cornerback he could be a nfl guy in 3 years.

 

[CA Monk]

There's somebody at the helm (HCFB and staff) superintending and navigating this byzantine, heartless and abstruse CFB business, whereby you have to practically reconstitute a new team each year while balancing NIL, player expectations and team chemistry. It is because of Fran and his stellar leadership that I'm not walking away from the morass of CFB. He has a plan and he has convictions. They may not always be optimal, but they are certainly the best that can be expected given the nusto circumstances pervading the sport. As a longtime fan I'm pleased to follow his lead and enjoy the hell out of his (and others affiliated w/the program's) efforts.

Not to mention the risk given his history of injuries. That's a lot of NIL money to have standing in sweats (or street clothes) on the sidelines.

Why am I feeling better and better about this situation?

Cuse gave him a great offer this year. Life changing money if managed correctly.
