Mr Sparrow plays with cruel intentions

 

[shu 49]

Sure looks like he enjoys contact.

Yes I agree. Damn.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Last time we got a kid this late was Jay Bromley.

Worked out OK.

Dear Anwar,

 

[Libero2]

Since he is a 2020...

Why is he just getting an offer now? Why didn’t he get snatched up at signing day?

I would assume that he’s obviously in the clear if we are accepting his commit and eventual LOI

Lol Jay Bromley was my favorite Cuse to NY Giants player. NYG should've kept him

 

[RF2044]

I'll say this for the staff: they leave no stone unturned.

Seems like a quality "get" -- especially if the lack of offers were due to grade concerns.

Kind of off topic for the thread, but Dave Siock is the Athletic Director for Landstown HS which is a couple of miles down the road from Salem HS.

Mr Sparrow plays with cruel intentions

Agreed. He plays like someone on the other team wrecked his car and left it at his high school, with taunting spray paint graffiti.

He has my vote as the member of the class of 2020 most likely to cause a concussion.

 

[Trueblue25]

This kid HATES ball carriers

 

[P Vasiloff]

A great find by this staff and another very good fit for the 3-3-5 defense. Keep them coming, Go Orange!!!!!!!

And Shamarko graduated from Ocean Lakes. It's the SU Virginia Beach effect.

 

[All4SU]

I sure hope he’s the one on the left.

I love the talent in the Tidewater VA region.
VaTech has mined this area for years.

He plays down hill love it

I presume the change in qualifying rules may have helped here too -- regardless, nice quality pick up. Make sure to provide him the right support at SU and focus on his school work + bulking up in S&C. Lots of potential.

Football is HUGE there. Some of the stadiums rival Texas in terms of size and local attention. Lots of quality guys there.
