WR Damien Alford withdraws from portal

[Cuseregular]

Lol. Yup we’re just waiting to unleash them.

We’re just waiting for the right moment

 

[storange]

SU is in pursuit of some WRs in the portal. Not surprised at this one.

 

[anomander]

We’re just waiting for the right moment

We just didn’t want to tip our hand on them so Dino kept them hidden on the bench.

 

[MadNY3]

I say either grades came into play or someone else is transferring in. And if not the latter, the coaches need to make the latter happen pronto.

 

[OburgOrange]

Lol, God bless ya bro, titanics sinking, let’s play some string music. This one’s a killer imo, his best days are ahead of him, gonna b a top notch wr soon for someone. Can’t believe it is not going to be us, blows, another nut/gut punch for our syracuse fandom.

Like I said taj would flame out wherever he went, and caught heavy flack, the opposite is true for this kid. Fluck!!!!

I hope you can sense my sarcasm

 

[cusefan88]

He had the size/speed combo but it feels like he was never running the right routes. Most of his good plays were running straight or a broken play. Good luck to him!

 

[Trueblue25]

Lol. Yup we’re just waiting to unleash them.

Fine with Hayes, Adams, Hatcher and Brown stepping in.

Just my opinion. Alford has been made out to be something hes not for 2 years now.

If Jones bounces back and Brown is as good as he's looked in practice, it would go a long way towards offsetting this loss.

Not guaranteed, however, but something to consider.

Lol “the titanics sinking” because #4 wideout is leaving.

Let’s see if this kid even lands in the Power 5 before we pretend he’s the next Marvin Harrison

You’re just naming names. He wouldn’t be a huge loss if it wasn’t a position of dire need. He was also coming on and was good for a huge play when you needed it. You don’t teach 6’5 with that speed.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Timing seems weird.

 

[Cuseregular]

Oh, I see it, and raise you tenfold

Forgot about Jones, add him to the list.

Not guaranteed, but we have better natural wideouts on the roster imo and guys who can also stretch the defense. Alford was good for a big target downfield

Lol it’s all good bud it’s all good, don’t you worry a lick.

If you were the guy who said taj would do great elsewhere you were wrong, same here opposite reality. Apologies if it wasn’t you.

 

[anomander]

Timing seems weird.

He just saw 2 guys he probably beat at practice on occasion go to LSU and Ohio St and get a bag. Who knows where the guidance is coming from. Maybe he thought well I might as well try too.

I think we’ll see this more in the future from our successful upperclassmen after seeing how it worked out for Duce and Carter.

 

[shu 49]

I think it’s a big loss. Garret would lock onto Gadsden often and way more than he should have. He improved later as did Alfords numbers. Really good blocking receiver. This is a loss no doubt.

 

[GoSU96]

That’s really too bad.

 

[Toga]

Call me apathetic. I don't care.

How many actual snaps at practice have you seen Brown run against college competition? You’re just saying names .

 

[Trueblue25]

You’re just naming names. He wouldn’t be a huge loss if it wasn’t a position of dire need. He was also coming on and was good for a huge play when you needed it. You don’t teach 6’5 with that speed.

He had great moments but was a big, fast wideout who disappeared a lot. Hopefully Beck’s approach schemes our wideouts open more often.

Wideouts arguably our weakest position group. Aside from Oronde I’d hardly call anyone irreplaceable. We have months to bring in a plug in guy or two. Between AET, Jackson and to an extent Cooper, Dino’s showed he can do this.

You think you’re some kind of genius for predicting a head case would implode? Sorry bud but that’s not that impressive.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Hmm


Connected?

 

[hoopsupstate]

We don’t have many big play receivers. He showed it occasionally. Dino better be bringing in a couple playmakers because we don’t have many at wide receiver.

have seen 2 years of Alford.

Ive heard plenty of positives from people connected to the offense about Dono, including from players themselves. He’s a great dynamic athlete and I hope it transitions to live action like it seemed to during the spring game. Remains to be seen.

 

[phil77]

Hope we have a plan. This only a big loss because this is already a big position of need.
