To be honest I think we're in a pretty good spot for the portal. We haven't had a major loss there since Bearden, and we've had several significant contributors come in since then. Being a top mid-major theoretically gives us a shot to pick from some good down transfers, while also retaining the Segus and Williams because we're still winning and they arguably get just as big of a spotlight as they would as a role player at a high major. I understand frustration with some of Whitesell's shortcomings, but he seems to continue a culture that players aren't choosing to leave while also succeeding at bringing in more high level talent. You can argue what the ceiling is with Whitesell but I feel he brings a high floor to the program, which I value highly with a re-shuffling of the conference decks on the horizon (which if things break right could raise our ceiling for us). Now is not the time for the program to fall off of the map, and hopefully Linguist can do the same for the football program.

Or some of us that may not be able to attend, in spite of renewing season tickets and writing to politicians to open the border both ways.

I won’t blame anyone for When their dream job opens.

Don't forget how many transfers out SU had. The towel was already thrown. Maybe Syracuse thought Jack would bring all of UBs best players with her this year but her son transferring probably prevented that. I bet she's done after this year, though. I hope Allnut is quietly interviewing candidates now.

The only thing telling me this is not what's going on is I can't imagine a program the size of Syracuse agreeing to basically throw in the towel for a whole season to wait for Coach FLJ.

This thought passed my mind too that this is a backroom deal set in stone for next year already.

You know, I read through these threads, and theyre common amongst many fansites, and it leaves me with this solitary, and depressing thought..... If World War 2 (The last time this country and its people were really tested) happened today, theres no way in hell the United States would have survived.
