I know this is bad bad bad but I'm curious. I would love to read it and be able to shrug it off as nothing so that I can continue to be extremely enthusiastic in support of him

Go Orange!

Ok you lost me
 
If I remember correctly we had Duce and Rutgers had Cinco, and Duce and Cuse fans were trying to get Cinco to decommit from there and come here.

And Fran chimed in that if he wanted Duce, he'd have Duce, something to that effect.

Yes I remember this.
 
I was reading the Buttgers board yesterday... they generally think Fran will be a positve or negative risk/reward hire depending on who he puts around himself in terms of coordinators/assistants.

Good split on potential success vs. failure...

A bunch saying he won't get good enough coordinators and assistants, will fail, and that we're like the Hafley situation at BC and that we would have hired Chesney first, but he likely told us "no" holding out for the BC job. Those types also saying Brown's recruiting prowess won't go very far when trying to convince recruits on going to "Siberiacuse" and that recruiting has to be "national" approach for 2nd tier schools like us, Rutgers, etc. in the NIL era.

Others are genuinely fearful he's gonna eat Schady's lunch on the recruiting trail and that if he gets solid coordinators/assistants they are in big trouble with regards to regional recruiting.
 
I have a friend who is a good freind of an absolutely fanatical Rutgers fan. We actually refer to him as Mr. Rutgers. His quote in a text to us was “ Syracuse hit a home run with Brown”.
 
Fran is going to be really fun I feel, I bet there will be many more such moments. But now he’ll be on our side.

I mean all these concerns and upside are merited. No one knows at all. It could be Hafley 2.0 or it could be something new and exciting.

I doubt Chesney turned us down. That's crazy to suggest.
 
meh a nothing burger as they say

I bet it wasn't at the time, but things change when they're on your side.

Like me rooting for Wade Boggs in 1996. Would never have thought that possible.
 
I don't pay attention to recruiting , I am just curious
Probably for the better

Nothing but degenerates and deviants who follow recruiting, and I fully admit I am one of them
 
Clark was having some serious 2nd thoughts about Rutgers as we were in his ear (as well as Duce) and he was listening so Fran got word and tweeted something along the lines of (Not exact quote)

“Stay away from 5 or I’ll come take 2 as well”

He later deleted it. It really wasn’t that bad and more funny as 5 ended up joing 2 a year later.
 
From my reading Fran has a high level of confidence, cockiness you might say. Probably helps in the recruiting wars .

That's pretty much it exactly.

I'd never seen a coach petty enough to post that kind of threat on Twitter. Reeked of insecurity then and still does now. You expect a coach to be above that.

Hence why he later deleted but yeah.

It was great. I loved the banter and thought it was awesome that it got close enough for him to fire a warning shot at us. I’d want my coach to do that.
 
He said “Keep talking to 5 and we’ll take 2” Referring to us recruiting Clark while he was committed to Rutgers.
