Class of 2024 WR Syair Torrence (NY: CBA) Committed to BC

[CA Monk]

Why bother to commit in the first place?
Upper echelon recruits should wait till the last second and get the best deal they can.
I know he's not quite top drawer, but still...save everyone the fookin' drama.

Did we lose him, or did we tell him to look elsewhere?

Must have been some conversation he had with Dino.

Well Michigan St offered and he scheduled a visit immediately so I would suspect we lost him.

Lot of NIL $$$ in East Lansing.

Yep B1G and $EC - going to be very hard to compete with even their mid tier programs moving forward.

3 stars aren't getting NIL. It's an opportunity to play for a major program away from home. Probably had a great recruiting trip and realized it didn't make sense to commit this early.

LOL

 

[Marsh01]

Our sports programs are cursed. So sick of this s hit

 

[JeremyCuse]

This was inevitable, honestly SU has to stop taking verbal for a class ahead of what their recruiting. SUs had like 4 or 5 and every single one has decommitted

 

[OrangeAl]

After a conversation with the head coach...hmm
Isn't Dino's policy something like "Take all the visits you need to be sure, but don't say you're committed to us while you're doing it?"
Time will tell.

Better to find out now than get the bad news 6 months from now.

And/or just days before signing day.

I'm sure there will be other bad news in 6 months

 

[Orangefan1]

This is a joke

 

[Cuse'91]

Honestly, it's not like we're talking about Michael and Billy Owens here. Think we will be fine without either Torrence.

I love watching college basketball and football and am a big Cuse fan but something needs to be done because right now we are a sinking ship as a program…idk what else to say but losing WR in our backyard it’s just crazy

 

[sutomcat]

It is good to get rid of players not committed to the program early on.

Good luck to him wherever he ends up.

 

[Cheriehoop]

If you think about it, it’s pretty stupid to consider anything a “commitment” anymore.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Bummer because it's a local guy, but hard to care that much about losing a player that was so far out from being on the roster anyway.

That’s how I read that,

Even money that NIL is playing a part. Dino can offer no guarantees in that regard.

 

[Finwad32]

Stretch offer anyway. Helped a local kid who’s got big stars in his eyes. Good luck, we’ll be fine.

the only thing that needs to be done is Syracuse needs to get on board with the new world order and find a way to compete under the new system and get more money to kids. Hope isn't a plan, and HOPING the system changes is futile at this point. It isn't, this is the new reality.

Fans can kick into NILs, hope a rich Syracuse booster/super-fan steps up (well we had one but he's gone) to bankroll some of this.

Yep. 100% correct

He just got offered by Michigan State like 7-8 days ago. How is this a stretch offer?

And ironically Jim Salgado is the guy who offered him
