00:02 - The question that I have Ben is why Kyle McCord
00:09 decided to go to Syracuse?
00:10 Not a knock, I understand.
00:12 - A big knock.
00:13 - It's not a knock, I'm just saying in regards
00:15 to where they were in terms of the passing offense,
00:18 where they are in regards to the ACC overall,
00:21 seeing what happened with Florida State,
00:23 you would hope that not only does he wanna obviously start,
00:26 but potentially win a national championship.
00:29 And I understand maybe he was being pushed out
00:31 by Ryan Day in terms of Columbus supposedly
00:35 not giving the voter confidence,
00:37 but that's a downgraded move in my opinion.
00:40 I mean, it's great for Syracuse
00:42 if they could build talent around him,
00:44 bad move for Kyle McCord.
00:46 - Oh, see, this is, of course it's a downgrade.
00:51 He was not good enough to be the Ohio State quarterback.
00:55 I think that is okay to say.
00:57 CJ Stroud, Justin Fields, this is a position
01:01 that where you get to play with basically guaranteed
01:04 at worst one first round wide receiver, usually multiple.
01:08 When was the last time that team didn't have
01:10 two NFL wide receivers inside their starting lineup?
01:13 I have no idea.
01:14 You could probably go, it doesn't even--
01:17 - I don't know if it goes back to the days
01:18 before Ted Ginn in the late 2000s, honestly.
01:21 - So for Kyle McCord, and look, I've had a little bit
01:24 of fun kind of, 'cause I know you're excited
01:26 about Syracuse's recruiting and it's nice
01:29 that they landed a guy with Ohio State pedigree,
01:31 but the reason McCord is at Syracuse
01:34 is because McCord is a Syracuse level player.
01:36 I know he was highly sought after
01:38 with I think the recruiting numbers.
01:40 I think some of that probably due to playing
01:42 in high school with Marvin Harrison Jr.
01:44 And all of his collegiate success felt like
01:46 it was tied to Marvin Harrison Jr.
01:49 I don't, again, for Syracuse, it's a name.
01:52 And I think considering right now the selling point
01:54 of all of your off-season hires appears to be,
01:57 this is based on me reading truly your tweets,
01:59 their ability to recruit, getting a big name
02:02 is great for the brand.
02:03 But I don't even, Kyle McCord is the what?
02:05 Best quarterback in the ACC next year.
