    Class of 2018 ATH Atrilleon Williams (NY) SIGNED NLI TO SYRACUSE

    Besides Anderson going to Rutgers, my guess would be they want to go to a much better football school. Just a hunch though.

    Trust the process

    The problem is that our main competition in the ACC is recruiting at a top 5-10 class level usually. There is no reason Syracuse should ever be outside of the top 15-20 with our facilities, staff, history, and fan support. So somewhere in the 20's-30's (like you say our class will end up at)...

    Class of 2017 S Brian Edwards (FL) Committed to Florida

    He got that offer because the Colorado Def. Coordinator went to Oregon recently

    Class of 2016 Espn final 2016 rankings...lol

    Dion was a 5 star recruit. ESPN had him 15th overall, #2 SG in the country. . . . says he was composite rating of #21 in the country. MCW was a 5 star in some places, ranked #26 composite. You also can't knock them on Jeramy Grant, he was rated high 40s by recruiting services, he was drafted...

    Class of 2016 S Devon Clarke (FL) SIGNED LOI

    Maybe he's just not that good? If you think our 5'8" safeties are crap, and our coaches think that the 5'8" safeties are still better than Clarke, imagine how mediocre Clarke must be.

    Class of 2015 PF Brodricks Jones (CA) to UTEP

    Rakeem averaged something like 9 points, 8 rebounds a game his senior year in Philly. If he couldnt dominate in high school, How could he play D1 ball, let alone at Syracuse? http://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/rakeem-christmas/OWo4V_TrEeKZ5AAmVebBJg/gendersport/basketball-stats.htm

    Class of 2016 RB Robert Washington (NC) to UNC Charlotte

    2-4-7 has both a composite ranking of the 3 major sites, and then they do their own evaluation and ranking. The composite has him as a 4 star 90 rating, 10th RB in the country (Hasn't been updated since the rovals ranking change though). Their own ranking has him as a high 3 star, 88 rating...

    Class of 2016 RB Robert Washington (NC) to UNC Charlotte

    Seems he wanted to have a little fun with all the fans and recruiting services. If that's what actually happened, and for a kid who seems really mature and respectful, it's a pretty low move to make.

    Class of 2016 G Kevin Huerter (NY) to Maryland

    Just got an offer from Baylor

    Class of 2014 QB John O'Korn (FL) to Michigan

    Not sure I'd want a kid who's already been in jail and then is dumb enough to get physical with a woman, especially when he's already on parole. I want kids I can root for, not ones I'm ashamed to say are a member of the Syracuse family. Doesn't matter to me how much or little humility he's...

    Class of 2016 4* QB from Ohio just hit the market

    Am I seeing things or did two parents actually agree to name their son Messiah? Hell of a lot to heap on a kid that he's now gotta lead the whole Jewish religion to the promised land

    Class of 2015 LB Doyle Grimes (FL) Signed with Marshall

    You don't actually need to fax it. You can send it by email. Faxing it is just part of the lore of signing day. http://www.nationalletter.org/frequentlyAskedQuestions/signingTheNli.html

    Class of 2015 RB Tyrone Perkins (NY) Signed LOI

    Maybe since we will have room in this class, they told him to enroll in the summer since our rehab/medical facilities will be much better than the ones he'd be using at home? It makes sense for him to get the best treatment and have an extra few months at Cuse any way you look at it.

    Class of 2015 TE/DE Jake Pickard (NJ) Signed LOI

    The other recruit in this picture, Reuben Jones, just committed to Michigan, 24 hours after decommitting from Nebraska and being considered a Louisville lean. He's a DE/LB hybrid out of Florida.

    If Gross Can Get Agreement From a Proven Coach...

    Bob Diaco was an unbelievable Def Coordinator at Notre Dame and he took the uconn job. There aren't many Power 5 conference teams better than us who lose head coaches and are willing to take unproven HC's

    You realize he's actually our #6 WR. You've got Estime, Broyld, West, Flemming, and Ishmael all above him.

    We'd never look into him because I think we're sticking with Shafer for a while, but Chad Morris, the OC at Clemson, is gonna be the next hot assistant to become a good HC

    Class of 2015 CB Daivon Ellison (NJ) Signed LOI

    It seems like Ellison, Strickland, and Kelly are all pretty good friends as they each have under their twitter name $avage. I don't know how many other Jersey recruits have this, but seems like they all have it together for a reason.

    Class of 2016 RB Robert Washington (NC) to UNC Charlotte

    Definitely too early. He's small, but that hasn't stopped guys as we've seen. He's also got a strong frame and he's not afraid to play tough https://vine.co/v/MdEtYHqxwFZ Also, if he gets to throw to Josh Gordon and Jordan Cameron, that makes life easier for a young QB

    Class of 2016 RB Robert Washington (NC) to UNC Charlotte

    Think he means NFL, which based on this offseason Manziel has proven he likes partying. But that hasn't stopped a ton of guys from being great. If shy was at SPARQ, means it was within last 1-2 years when we already knew he can dominate at A&M, but still question marks about his game...

    Class of 2015 TE/DE Jake Pickard (NJ) Signed LOI

    Just because I'm curious, I'd love to hear your take on this matter? Do you think race has any impact on self-identification, comparison to other athletes and on perception of athleticism and skill? And therefore wouldn't it be easier for Pickard to see himself as the next JJ Watt and not the...

    Class of 2015 TE/DE Jake Pickard (NJ) Signed LOI

    I was responding to a post by WFSchrec in which he was implying that even though Wisco can say that Pickard can be the next JJ Watt, we could tell Pickard he could be the next Art, Chandler, or Freeney. If you don't think race has any factor in how athletes are compared to each other and how...

    Class of 2015 TE/DE Jake Pickard (NJ) Signed LOI

    Hate to break it to you, but do you think Pickard see's himself as a black man like Dwight Freeney, or a white guy like Watt?

    Closer Look @ SU Unis

    Hypothetical, lets say in a few years Schafer gets fired (Hope not but you never know if he doesn't produce), do we still keep the lock the gate saying on the uniforms?

    Class of 2015 DE Austrian Robinson (NY) Committed to Ole Miss

    We also want players who will make our team better. Not every kid loves SU from birth, sometimes it's the coaches jobs to make them love SU (Which they do for 25 guys out of thousands every year). Just because he doesn't want to go to SU now, doesn't mean he wont want to if we recruited him...

    Class of 2015 TE/DE Jake Pickard (NJ) Signed LOI

    For as good as you THINK we are recruiting, they are actually recruiting much better than us at every single position. We get under the radar guys while they are getting guys who take up the whole radar. Trust me Cali, we aren't really recruiting players anywhere near the caliber of Florida St...

    Except there are many schools recruiting just as well if not better than we are. And they arguably have better coaching depending on who you ask.

    Class of 2017 C/PF Moustapha Diagne (NJ) to Western Kentucky

    He might be trailing the play because he's inbounding the ball or setting under the hoop to get the defensive rebound. Hard to get down the court before the guards and wings when they start from the 3 point line and you start from the semi-circle under the hoop

    Class of 2016 Systematic Recruiting Focus

    for RB in 2015 we already have Fredericks, Strickland, and Perkins. Seems we might be going hard in 2016 for Robert Washington, but besides him, don't think we really need to focus on taking an RB seeing as how Morris and McFarlane both have 2 years left of eligibility after this year, plus we...

    Class of 2015 TE/WR Westerband "West" Lindor (MO) Verbal to Brown

    For anyone who can answer this, why are we going after guys at this Y position when it seems like Adly Enoicy is perfect for it? Do we need a Y-type recruit every year now, or is Enoicy going to be put as a TE?

    Class of 2015 TE/WR Westerband "West" Lindor (MO) Verbal to Brown

    Every HS kid comes with flaws, no one here is saying that we expect flawless. But we should be allowed to say that a kid doesn't seem to have the athleticism out of HS equivalent to that of his peers recruited to the ACC.

    Class of 2015 TE/WR Westerband "West" Lindor (MO) Verbal to Brown

    I don't think I'm dissing Westerband. Count me in the group that thinks he's a bit slow for ACC football, but his size may outweigh that (Not everyone runs greater than a 4.60 in HS or college, by the way, so it's not a big deal right now). My post was explaining why he "hits like a truck"...

    Class of 2015 TE/WR Westerband "West" Lindor (MO) Verbal to Brown

    He hits like a truck on defense because he lowers his head into the guy. It's pretty terrible form and a major injury risk. But yes, hitting with helmet does tend to put people on their ass. He also lines up 15-20 yards off the line of scrimmage, which gives him a ton of room to line up hits...

    K.J. Williams, Treevon Prater Fail to Qualify

    It's irrational when he gives no reasoning besides his opinion, which doesn't mean much without him giving his qualifications for breaking down highlights of 17 year olds. I'm sure Anglerman appreciates you fighting his battles too

    K.J. Williams, Treevon Prater Fail to Qualify

    You mind giving your rationale on this one? Without any proper explanation from you debunking his impressive film and consensus rankings, hard to take anything you say seriously from here on out. I'd love to hear why you think he's less talented than a guy like Custis or Enoicy.

    Class of 2015 So, Who is it?

    Why every time we get a commit does someone make a new thread saying "Who is it"? Everyone finds out two minutes later with the title of the guy updated to say "Verballed to Syracuse". Just wait an extra two minutes and you'll have your answer
