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.

(NOTE: This podcast was recorded just before Christian Veilleux committed to Georgia State so he's no longer on Syracuse's radar, but the concept of the type of quarterback SU is looking for still applies. I also wanted to note that he visited and that Syracuse is still on the hunt for a backup QB)

Mike Waters joins Brent to discuss SU basketball's potential wish list for the portal, including guards Kadary Richmond and Ken Davis Jr. and if SU would be OK if it stood pat with the roster it has now.

Brent then reads texts from Syracuse Sports Insiders on what they feel both programs still need to add from the portal.
