Class of 2022 QB Braden Davis (DE) Transferring From South Carolina to Syracuse (5/11/23)

[OburgCuse]

Love a (rare) Delaware commit!!

Not sure if he was our last but Jerome Smith was also one

 

[721Comstock]

Trevor Cooney and BD reppin' Delaware for the Orange

Thug Cooney also -
Rippin threes and smokin’ trees!

I guess Sellers beat him out which still makes me a little sad he flipped, but this isn't a bad consolation prize.

 

[djorange1989]

Howard was really swinging for the fences on that one!

They had a better chance than Rutgers!

Derell Smith…and Chuck Beattie from Glasgow High was there during my time. I mentioned to him once that he was all state football and I was all state band and here we are in Syracuse together. He wasn’t as impressed but nice enough guy.

Well spoken Young man.

 

[IthacaMatt]

Coming into the '95 season, there was competition between McNabb and Kevin Johnson, 2 freshman, and another returning guy at QB. That was a pretty talented group, too.

 

[IthacaMatt]

It’s good to have another QB on the roster. Still wouldn’t mind one more but this is a nice pickup. Lot of eligibility left and clearly has some tools.

Kudos to the staff for filling the hole promptly and with some potential.

Three very solid guys at QB is enough for this season. I think we need a LB or two, another DL, and another OL or two, to be honest. I think we have 9 more spots open on the roster.

Kevin Mason was in the mix too, I think.

Mason was gone. Keith Downing?

Cooooooon Dooooog

amazing get by Dino and Beck. Three QBs that were as highly rated coming out of HS as SU has ever landed included Tommy and DM

 

[CuseLegacy]

And so it is written .

So let it be done.

 

[Goin' Deep]

Looking at his HS video...I was kind of ...meh...
Throwing mechanics just weren't there.
Then the spring game highlights, you could see a definite improvement.
Also seemed to go through his "reads" on the TD pass.
Has put on some weight/strength during his time at USC.
Would love to see him be about 225 this time next year.
This looks like a good pick up. WE NEEDED IT!!

 

[SUFaninNJ]

Mason was gone. Keith Downing?

Ah yes, my mistake. Downing is correct.

[elimunelson]

Ah yes, my mistake. Downing is correct.

Downing was very good too. We had 3 qbs who could win 8 games IMO.

Last year's spring game. He was an early enrollee. He gets in at the 1 hour mark. At the 1:03 mark Beamer talks about him.

2023 South Carolina spring game. LaNorris Sellers played the entire second half; led a 97-yard touchdown drive, with a 50-yd pass play and a nice run or two. He was a big loss for SU. Braden Davis threw a pick-6 after being flushed from the pocket on, I think, his only series. He might have had a second series, I'm not sure.

Question: what qualifies Higgins to make the assertion on the kid’s technical abilities?

 

[sufandu]

I'm glad that he was highly rated coming out of high school, but my concern is that (and this is more a long term thing) we're getting guys that get beat out by other guys. Shrader is a bit different because he underwent a coaching change to a completely different system and coaching philosophy. If we're excited about Davis's high school rating, what does it say that Sellers is a three star? Was Sellers underrated? Was Davis overrated? Maybe he'll thrive in our system with our coaches. Sometimes a change in scenery makes all the difference.

We are aware of that game. Someone shared that earlier in the thread. i was showing this video so people can see what Davis can do when D lineman are not in his face after 2 seconds.

What Higgins said was that this is technically the highest rated QB room we've ever had, with three four-star guys.

Oops, sorry.
