What will Syracuse’s record be in 2024?

[@c.h.5510]

11-2 in my dream world .. we feel like we won a title at 10-3/9-4 ..

[@MTorangeman]

Phil Steele thinks they can win 8 ! 11 wins gets then into the 12 team playoff ! Missouri has the same dilemna

[@roberttrumble3332]

From Syracuse. Haynes isn't a guy you mentioned but has been getting a lot of hype from Coach Brown and local media. A name to watch out for. Most talent this team has had in a very long time.

[@foreverorangegirl44]

Great recap. Notable misses: King Joseph Edwards and Zeed Haynes. I’m so excited about this team and can’t wait for the season to kick off! I think we’ll get 8 wins, with 10 being a not-preposterous ceiling if this new roster and coaching staff really gels, and both McCord & Gadsden stay healthy.

[@JoeBroback]

Appreciate the feedback! I really am curious how Gadsden does after that injury. He’s such a fun player for that offense

[@tomk537]

I think 8 wins is about right - but the talent, coaching and way increased seriousness around program - it wouldn’t shock me to see 10 wins if they are really cooking under Coach Brown

[@JoeBroback]

10 wins would be incredible! I like how much excitement there is surrounding this program. Excited to see if Brown lives up to the hype

[@aaronfoss8956]

Good video

[@bozzie7718]

Bro how did you forget Zeed Haynes transfer WR from Georgia he was McCord favorite target in the spring game

[@JoeBroback]

One thing I realize for next year is that I need to expand my depth chart section. Cuse had a bunch of guys at receiver that will play roles this year. Just couldn't get them all in. I like Haynes and what he can do but should have talked about him more than some of the other guys.

[@shanemcgrath6270]

Great work on the deep dive series mate!

[@JoeBroback]

Appreciate you as always! They’ve been fun to do

[@calebpatry150]

Great breakdown! Nice to hear someone talk about the program who is clearly very knowledgeable

[@JoeBroback]

Appreciate the feedback! Love talking about these teams. Any other team you’d like to see?

[@jpointon]

My son is attending Syracuse in the fall and we're massive sports fans but coming in with no prior knowledge of Cuse football except Donovan McNabb! Great primer for us to get into the team, sounds like an exciting time to get on board! thanks!

[@JoeBroback]

Good time to get there with the new staff coming in! Lots of potentially exciting games in that conference too! Have fun! Games in the dome are a unique experience for sure

[@caseywhite8142]

Firstly welcome to Syracuse! Here’s a fun fact, as of right now, the Orange actually are tied for 4th in producing the most NFL hall of famers with 9. They have Jim Brown, Larry Csonka, Al Davis, Marvin Harrison, Floyd Little, John Mackey, Art Monk, Jim Ringo and now Dwight Freeney. They’re not typically known as a football score anymore, but they’ve definitely had some greats play for them for sure ❤

[@damico18]

cuse games are great! get to the quad early to really enjoy that college gameday atmosphere

[@jonn8911]

You’re forgetting Marcus Washington. Former high 4* who transferred from Louisville

[@eastendguy485]

As an alumnus of SU, I have mixed feelings regarding financial resources committed to football. However, one can't deny the pivotal marketing advantage a school teams when it is at the forefront in sports in this country. As example, outside of academia who has heard of NYU or Stony Brook? University?

[@jonn8911]

Not sure why yazeed haynes isn’t on this notable list of WR’s he’ll have the most yards and receptions of any receivers & has extremely high nfl potential and buzz

[@pwrhitterp]

Great breakdown can’t wait to see Miami and Florida

[@JoeBroback]

Appreciate the love!

[@Teeman44]

I’m very excited for freshman athlete Malachi James. In the last three weeks, he ran blazing fast 10.18 100m dash in NJ sectional championship. And then in NJ state championship he ran 10.28 100m dash. That is serious speed!!! Not sure he’d play much as a freshman but he could be the fastest player in ACC.

[@JoeBroback]

Yeah that speed will be fun to watch. Offense could use it for sure

[@hartsickdisciple]

The ceiling for Syracuse is 10 wins with this schedule. The floor is 5, maybe 6.

[@TheStiffArmCFB]

Very favorable schedule, good year 1 for Fran Brown and company

[@JoeBroback]

What do you think their record will be?

[@TheStiffArmCFB]

@@JoeBroback around 6-6 or 7-5 range

[@JoeBroback]

@TheStiffArmCFB sounds about right to me. Most realistic outcome

[@jrod8586]

Okay, just being honest, Hatcher isn’t remotely starting. Will be Haynes, Meeks, Gadsen… also Del Rio Wilson has less than zero chance of seeing the field unless McCord gets hurt.

[@JoeBroback]

Seen a couple places with Hatcher there but I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s not. New staff means lots will change between now and the start of the season

[@MrSlicksherm300]

I’m beyond bias. And with the hardest team being NC state maybe Miami. I can see Syracuse going undefeated. Got to have faith
