Not much of a surprise...Poncho Barnwell

[tep624]

But according to a headline over at Rivals, Poncho Barnwell did not qualify. It sounded like there was a small possiblity he may make it but now it's confirmed he won't. Not really sure what the damage is either, if he either has to go JUCO or has the Prep option.

Thought just about everyone had him pegged in for Milford

Hopefully it works out for him and he doesn't fall into the JUCO Abyss. Being at Nassau though definitely works to SU's favor.

Pretty much everyone did but there was some chatter a few weeks ago about him having a slim chance of qualifying.

would he consider only playing one year as nassau so he had 3 left to play 3?

I don't think you can. I think it's a 2 year deal.

He prob would consider it, but the school that's giving him the scholarship (Nassau) prob wouldn't be to cool w/ a BCS type player sitting on the bench for a year instead of contributing for their program

You mean redshirt a year at Nassau?

Maybe he can fake an injury?

Didn't Tiller do that? Not fake the injury, lol, but sat out a year at Nassau?

Yes, more than likely

Tiller broke his foot / ankle at NCC in 2008 and missed most of the season.

believe Nassau CC was mentioned as his destination at the moment. Pretty much makes three to play two when he is finished. Better than nothing I suppose. It appears that no current roster players have fallen victim to the big bad book monster thus far.Knock knock on wood.

Just a FYI. Poncho called and told me he verbaled to Old Dominion this morning. I know some of the guys wanted to know what was going on with him

Best of luck to him. I always had hoped he'd make it on campus, but wish him well. Did SU back off or vice versa? Was he not able to get qualified?

Doaust loved him but he told me when they brought in the Juco DE's from last year , that gave them too many DE's and it wasnt necessary for them to Bring Poncho in.

Thanks money. It is a shame he and SU were not able to connect. I really like the heart of kids from upstate and I think having some gives SU some of the #hardnose toughness Shafer wants.

I am glad things worked out for him and he will get a chance to play college football for 'free', at a high level.

Noye and Poncho. They had verbals from myles nicholas from Irondequiot and charlie shuman from pittsford. Myles decommited to Buffalo and Shuman is taking a walk on at Penn st. I know they like a kid from Fairport but not sure if he will qualify

Antonio Anderson is a coach at Nassau this was a RT of his. Hey I have an interesting twitter following.

Thanks for sharing. Poncho is doing well for himself. There's a nice article there if anyone is interested.
