I love the honesty Reading I just get a little out of hand when I drink might be the best sentence I've ever read on the site I also get out of hand when I drink

Didn't will Wade get investigated by the FBI LOL and fired from LSU for some sketchy stuff Doesn't surprise me he's getting good guy lol

I can't imagine Copeland going to McNeese State LOL Unless there really is something wrong with his character... But he seems so smiley and friendly at Syracuse He's got to be a high major player.. he's a 6'6 guard who is super crafty

Calling him now a sportsman is kind of b******* He's 6'7 300 lb... And runs a 4.7 forty He's an insane athlete.. I don't care if he played bar League rugby or tennis at a country club His size and speed is world class... And you could take a few years to mold him into whatever you want Patrick Ricard is a 300 lb fullback.. you can see if he can figure out full back over 2 years behind Gilliam.. get him to lose 20 lb and see if he can catch a ball at TE You can take 3 years and see if you can develop him as a swing tackle.. give him the ball on the 1 yard line Obviously it's a pick that probably will not pan out.. but at the end of the draft you can never go wrong taking an athletic specimen He is far from your average athlete with his size and running ability

Actually his senior year was worse than his junior year He is a stud and I honestly had a seventh round grade on him.. He is slightly inconsistent in the short game... But he drills 50 plus yarders Big leg.. I see him being an NFL kicker His junior year was actually by far his best .. and I put a 7th round grade on him after that year Slightly inconsistent inside 35... But from 50 out he has the ability to be legatron There aren't many kickers in the country who drill 50 yards plus at his pace in Western New York conditions in college Also hit 100 straight extra points after starting slow

William Patterson also left!! Damn he's 7'2 and I had high hopes

He's a short armed center only ... And he sometimes uses bad technique to try and make up for his short arms Can improve his core strength he has very little chance of beating out a grown professional starter in mcgovern this year .. who has starting NFL experience... And is now one of the bigger stronger centers in the league You groom him for a year or two while bulking him up and work on his technique

That is super premature LOL He is very talented but super overrated... Sammy Watkins was a better prospect coming out and we all know how that turned out

Transition is way different than rebuilding It's closer to reloading...

With so many draft eligible wide receivers.. it's kind of hard to always get a grasp on how you feel for scheme fit and how they fit in 24 hours later... I'm getting pretty pumped.. we're getting a dual sport athlete... He played basketball and football at Michigan State... Could have played basketball and football at Kansas Do you know how hard it is to get Kansas to let you play basketball there? You have to be phenomenal athlete... He's smooth... A hands catcher... Runs better routes than Gabe Davis And he's pushing 6'3 220 lb with a 38 inch vertical Hes closer to Keenan Allen or Vincent Jackson then he is James Hardy

No center is physically the easiest to play... It's mentally rougher They have the least amount of 1on1 blocks and there aren't a lot of pure 0 techs giving them hell 80% of snaps They are mostly combo blocking and getting to second level Guards need to be bigger and better blockers now

What do you mean his father signed here because his son was starting his college career here? Frank Gore Jr went to Southern Miss

Well to be fair he's only 20... Can't even drink in America legally... He is a big kid Love his personality

Well Penn State is hundreds of miles from Pittsburgh so they're really not the same area And Terry Smith has been the cornerbacks coach at Penn State for years now Respected guy.. he runs a disciplined system... We're looking for scheme fits late in the draft at defensive back Penn State and Pittsburgh run DB friendly systems that translate to our system

Certainly possible... He's going to have to improve his technique to have significant reps at guard and his core strength will be tested alot more at guard You can mask it a bit at center but you're going to have very tough matchups at guard 1on1... And he doesn't have the greatest Length mass or core strength for the spot He certainly can become a starting center with some seasoning... And It won't hurt to see how he can play at guard but his Length and habit of sometimes reaching would have to be corrected as well as getting a stronger core and bulking a bit With his lack of length.. and not the biggest size... He certainly is built for center but it wouldn't hurt to see

We lost three scholarships a year from 15-16 , 16-17, 17-18, 18-19 That is a lot of scholarships that slowly started to effect the team ... And also recruiting Some of those teams from the late 2000s early 2010s we're playing 9 10 guys... Really good guys... Boeheim could bench the entire 5 and put in a brand new five and they could ball and win We had top five pick Dion waiters on bench The sanctions put us down to six playable guys... Six talented guys We had Frank Howard and tyus battle and O'Shea brissett playing entire games There was no 7th 8th or 9th man... The depth of the team was gone

Syracuse basketball from 2008-2017 went 9 out of 10 years with a first round pick Only Duke and Kentucky had a better streak... Then sanctions

Mcgovern played center in college.. and has NFL starting experience on the line It's going to be next to impossible.. for him to beat him out this year.. unless they want McGovern back at guard He's a great option to groom

Did you forget the serious sanctions? We lost three scholarships a year... Which is insane in basketball Sanctions only ended in 2020... And it still takes a couple of seasons to recover Syracuse went from getting top 80 recruits, with a top 20 guy every other year To top 350 recruits... That is a massive difference The players Syracuse normally recruit didn't want to come here under sanctions... We literally have the 6th ranked player in the country coming in... The best power forward in the country... And one of the best guards from New York City Syracuse recruiting is back.. it just takes a couple cycles to build a team

And he would be correct with Michael Carter-Williams Who is a tall slashing point guard like Richmond

Baker Mayfield was also a college walk on... And was known for a world-class work ethic... You don't go from walk on at Texas tech To Heisman trophy winner at Oklahoma, without busting your ass Did he keep that work ethic in the pros? Maybe not But it's clear that Josh has kept that same work ethic to me... Because if you're not progressing in the NFL... Your regressing And Josh I think is still a player on the ascent They're just aren't cameras in his face for every single workout

Appreciate it

The training nowadays is vastly superior to 25-30 years ago A guy like to who is a workout warrior... It makes sense he can hit a 4.44 forty , even at an older age because it's more about explosion and acceleration Not pure top end speed With how good of shape he is In.. with modern work out techniques he still has great burst and acceleration in a track setting

People think a quarterback who went from a small school with little experience... Turned into an all pro quarterback with a crappy work ethic lol I'll tell you what... He definitely works a lot harder than Sam darnold and Baker Mayfield and Josh Rosen

Idk why but I am born and raised Buffalo And I always say crik... I say Cayuga Crik instead of Cayuga Creek I don't know
