Class of 2024 Visitors taking Official Visits to SU 12/8/23

[Roger N]

This program has 2 bowl wins since joining the ACC in 2013. They have won 2, or less, conference games in 8 of the 11 seasons in the ACC. They have finished last, or tied for last, 4 of their 11 seasons. This program has been irrelevant for the better part of 11 years. Setting the bar as "well, we aren't the absolute worst" isn't ideal.

It’s like being Arkansas saying “there’s always Mississippi”

 

[dollarbill44]

Have a little more.

Can't they get deliveries? Because that's a lot of food!

 

[GHLF]

Don’t agree with rebuild. Upgrade, sure, but this wasn’t a team mired in 3 wins and sub 100 rankings on offense and defense.

I agree, with that being said I think it is very important that current players are spoken to in the correct fashion where no matter the individual plan for them they know they will always be orange. With the emphatic recognition of the business side of modern college football like it or not. Goodness and truth typically allows an individual to grow even if it is difficult. Good comes from hard situations and CFB certainly can show a lot of goodness to the current football players up at the CUSE, I know he will.

Following the recruiting news this weekend is going to give me whiplash

 

[JRHEETER]

I can't imagine him leaving on his own because he won't get one from another school as so many don't even give them out.

They can “pull” his scholarship because of the new HC

He will still have a scholarship to attend Syracuse but will no longer be apart of the football program

Which might even be preferred by Mom and Dad.

That record is skewed by wins over Stony Brook, Colgate and Holy Cross. Plus, you take out the one outlier 10 win season and your left with a sub .500 record. And why are you taking out the Covid season? Everyone played by the same rules. I'm sorry, but that's really bad. They have been the worst program in the ACC and flat-out don't win ACC games. That's what matters.

I agree with Go, when did the plummet occur, literarily in the last 7 out of 8 years, when injuries mounted. Literarily like clockwork! CDB should have built more depth, unfortunately he was unable. If he did, he would still be here, make no mistake about it. Why do you think he completely changed his scheme? I will tell you this: if CFB wants to run the ball consistently with significant OL push as well as consistently STOP The run, he better have depth. It is not complicated. I am however mad excited, Sorry to see CDB go out this way ×1000, however, I trust he stays true to himself and grows for his next heart mission. Seriously a good guy I pray he stays close to what he knows. Go orange

I hope they get a basketball style lineup entrance on the jumbotron and have them all run out on the field with smoke and lights and music

Don't get me wrong. I love Dino. He always represented himself and the program well. Genuine, good dude. I really wanted it to work but it never did. It never clicked. He could never recruit at a high enough level. He never had high end talent. And I don't think the injury excuse holds much water. If you listen to the players after he was let go, it was clear there were deeper issues in the program (i.e. accountability). His teams were consistently undisciplined and sloppy. When you combine the lack of high end talent & depth with the sloppy on-field play you get a program that could never gain traction.
I am incredibly optimistic with what Coach Brown is doing. The staff he's built, the offers he's sending out, the visits he's got coming through all add up to a great start. The work he has done in less than 2 weeks is wildly impressive. There is a very strong chance he brings in more high end talent than Dino did in 7 years.

Isn’t doing that a ncaa violation? It used to be.

With the new coach rule, Marburg can retain his scholarship and finish his degree at Syracuse, where it doesn’t count against SU’s 85 player limit, or find greener pastures elsewhere.

In either case, it seems likely his scholarship will now be available for more productive purposes.

My question is, why did we have not 1 punter on scholarship but 2???????

Really is quite insane………

Didn't we have three? I thought it was three at one point.

Just baffling to what degree people go to prove the need to be miserable. If that's how you respond to a balanced and pragmatic post I don't know how to respond. Let it go.

And anyone who looks at 2020 and says everyone played by the same rules loses all credibility immediately. I will agree that everyone who brought in two new coordinators with completely different systems that they were left to implement via Zoom, that had no spring ball at all and summer camp reduced to pods of no more than 10 players until two weeks before the first game, that needed to have a fullback convert to a position he hadn't played since middle school to be able to field a team at all and who complied with the strictest protocols imposed by any state in the nation, then took those protocols even higher to protect their student athletes... yeah. Every program in that subset played by the same rules.

I think we did. James Williams left the building a while ago. Over the summer I think. Mistakes were made at this position but we finally got it right.

FIFY.

 

[Consigliere]

Yes. James Williams was the third. Many programs don;t have any specialists on scholarship initially then award when they show that they can be productive. Just ask Riley Dixon and Andre Szmyt among others.

 

[CuseFan]

If anyone wakes me up, I'm going to be pissed.

This is the best dream in years

We need to save those last scholarships for 5th string JUCO OL who will quit during training camp.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Dorothy would HATE the new sign.

 

[Toga]

Wait. Is that a movie reference?

 

[Consigliere]

FIFY.

Point is that there was one sole program in that subset. No need for a fix. Well a grammar fix anyway.

 

[David332]

No place like home.

So, who are we flipping from Kansas?
