Notre Dame QB Steve Angeli on Syracuse Visit
After getting Kyle McCord last season, Fran Brown set the standard high for what his quarterback will look like. In past years, SU fans would be thrilled that they have a QB the caliber of Rickie Collins. He’s a former four-star who sat for two years at LSU behind a Heisman winner and another very…

This Trebor Pena Conflict Can’t Be Understated
First off, Syracuse football is losing out on one of its prime wide receivers in recent memory.

It was a main trio of wideouts that included Gadsden, Pena, and Jackson Meeks. Pena is not only…

Naithan George Could Be The Difference Maker For Syracuse
Throughout the first few weeks of the offseason, I’ve made it very clear what I think Adrian Autry’s priorities should be in the portal. This team needed another star guard to put next to JJ Starling to even have a chance to be decent next season. The chatter has been that the Orange finally has…

SU Needs Another Star Guard. Could It Be Desmond Claude?
The first few weeks of the transfer portal being open have made it pretty clear how I think Adrian Autry and his staff need to attack it. I don’t think the Orange should put a lot of money towards a true center. I also think that this team desperately needs to focus on star power and…

Syracuse Shouldn’t Spend On A Center
If you think back to Adrian Autry’s preseason press conference, he laid out an outline of what he wanted his team to look like.

Could Nate Kingz Be Syracuse’s Next Sharpshooter?
The last few years for Syracuse basketball have been very odd offensively compared to the end of the Boeheim era. Three-point shooting has been a big issue for the ‘Cuse. That issue has gotten infinitely worse three days into portal season. The team’s only semi-reliable shooters, Chris Bell, Elijah Moore, and Kyle Cuffe are all…

Star Power or Depth? SU’s Transfer Portal Strategy
The current iteration of college athletics makes absolutely no sense. Is it better than it was before when players were stuck at a school and made no money? Probably.

Should JJ Starling Stay At Syracuse?
As someone whos loved college sports their entire life, this piece hurts me to write. JJ Starling was the perfect transfer to Syracuse. A five star from Central New York is a must get for the Orange.

How Can Syracuse Basketball Still Believe?
To get very academic and quote Albert Einstein, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again yet expecting different results.” Well that seems to be the case for this current Syracuse basketball team.
