Class of 2016 SS/OLB Rashad Smith (FL) FLIPPED BACK TO FAU

[LeMoyneCuse]

That's insane. I hope you had more than the cassette single (or cassingle as the cool kids called it) of The Proclaimers "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" in your tape deck.

He wasn't driving from Minnesota!

Interesting read. It's a lot like P-5 teams/fans worrying about the big boys coming in at the last minute to flip,a recruit. In this story, SU is the bad guy.

Looks like LB coach Tom Kaufman.

I drove from Key West to Ogdensburg NY without stopping. 30 hours straight. Saw two sunrises.

New nickname: bladder master.

[Deano]

WTH...that sucks!

 

[PhatOrange]

BAM. i really liked this kid. oh well he'll fade into oblivion just like leroy owens did at FIU. (who you say??)

Good luck Rashad and enjoy your time in C-USA!

Talented football player, 1270 on the SAT, chooses Florida Atlantic over Syracuse?

Wacky. Gotta be a homesickness concern or something like that.

 

[TexanMark]

Post 55 is the real clue...Does that look like a kid that was 100% in?

Either a g/f or family was tugging at him to stay in S FL.

I hope he made the right decision for himself.

He was FAU's premier recruit and a local. Pressure on him to stick with FAU was probably immense.

1270...was for 3 tests...only an 850 for the two tests that count.

Agreed. This kid does not seem to be excited at all. If he is happy with FAU good for him. It doesn't seem like he was that in to SU to begin with.

The good news is Cuse will be back in the area for next year...he was a good prospect but there will be others

Ah, good eye. Scratch my thought.

Update

He probably would've redshirted for us in '16

He'd be a RS Sophomore right now and probably a starter or second string at worse. He is getting some All-CUSA mentions...not sure that would translate in the ACC.

Monquavian Brinson out of Georgia who Babers cut bait with during the transition is a preseason All-Sun Belt pick. Went to Georgia Southern.

I’ll take chances on Georgia, Florida, and Texas (Hewitt) kids all day long
