Class of 2017 CB Ifeatu Melifonwu (MA) COMMITTED & SIGNED TO SYRACUSE

[Orangello]

Wow I thought you were joking
Report: Italy for Harbaugh, Michigan to end spring practice?

Signore si utilizza il tipo sbagliato di palla !!

 

[Orangejet]

Said he who flipped to SU from Virgina Tech.

Knew you would say something but times were different in the late '70's.

 

[Orangejet]

YOU BEAT ME TO THIS...

Glad I made the switch to SU but hope Ifeatu stays put.

Good news - Michigan wants one of our recruits
Bad news - Michigan wants one of our recruits

I'm not giving up. Hopefully he remembers who has been loyal to him and believed in his talent the whole time.

If he's visiting there next weekend, he's gone.

Thought he was visiting there tues-thursday and here next weekend. Did that change?

Don't know the timeline. Surprised he'd skip a week of school though.

I believe some schools in NYS don't have classes this week due to exams but I can't speak for this kid's school in Mass.

I can hear it now from Michigan fans "Why are we trying to steal recruits from lowly Syracuse"

Sounds familiar to me

 

[DMDMD]

So when does he become a high 3 star?

 

[SUFaninNJ]

Hart is his primary recruiter.

Son stick with cuse. But coach didnt you chose Michigan

Yes, he did, but he never committed to SU.

 

[rackman18]

Is HCDB going to pull his offer if he takes this visit.:noidea: :crazy:

 

[PAcuse]

Because it might have happened with one other recruit? We don't know the full story and I doubt we ever will.

Not sure but he still doesn't hold an offer from michigan.

 

[PAcuse]

If I was a high school football player and got offered a free trip to Michigan I would take it and I don't even like Michigan. The amount of history in that program and the facilities are amazing. Hell yes to a free trip there.

Even if you committed to elsewhere? lol Just checking

 

[PAcuse]

Oh yes it's a free trip to a pretty famous place I might never get to see. It has nothing to do with being "loyal". I would be up with the coaching staff "look I want to visit this famous place, but I'm still signing with you"

 

[PhatOrange]

He should pull it.

Then Ifeatu better pray he gets that offer from Michigan.

 

[PAcuse]

He should pull it.

Then Ifeatu better pray he gets that offer from Michigan.

Just crazy if we start pulling everyone's scholarship for just going on an official visit. Bad business.

 

[orangefog]

He should pull it.

Then Ifeatu better pray he gets that offer from Michigan.

I agree. Tell him that we love him, that is why he was/is our number one and not some plan b or c. But, if he takes the visit, we have to start making calls to fill the spot. If the spot is still available when you decide that you want Syracuse, you will be considered for the spot, but we want players that are committed this program and what we are trying to do.

 

[SUforme]

This is anything but a free trip!

i agree with this. if he is "committed" and takes a trip, we need to start figuring out who the replacement is. Don't wait on him to tell us at the last minute he's not coming.

 

[PAcuse]

He currently doesn't have an offer, so it kind of is right now.

 

[SUforme]

As of right now sure but Harbaugh visited him personally and asked him for a visit. What do you think is going to happen?

Absolutely, you start getting shaky and flaky 10 days prior after a long commitment, then we will look elsewhere. You want to take visits where you don't have an offer, then have fun potentially at ualbany.
