On the latest episode of Syracuse Sports, Brent Axe examines what Syracuse football and basketball still need out of the transfer portal now that the deadline for athletes to submit their names to it has passed. For football, Syracuse met with an intriguing option for backup quarterback last weekend. Brent tells you about him and the other positions of need still there.
