It would be inappropriate to say that I hope his sister (or girlfriend) goes to SU as well because that would just come across as creepy and wrong. So I won't.

If you are talking about the girl in the twit pic..that's his younger sister and that would make it very creepy.

 

[CuseLegacy]

Cuse 11m
Not only did @Clark8Chris have an 'awesome' time on his Cuse visit but it made a big impression on his family as well

Younger, yeah, I just creeped myself out.

 

[bnoro]

big impression made. long way to go but sitting pretty.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

Agreed. Obviously the campus visit made a good first impression on him. I also like he fact that he went to the Pinstripe Bowl. No matter what happens going forward, I think SU will be in the discussion.

im really hoping cuse can land this kid! He could be next great tight end at syracuse. He is a flex tight end that could do multiple things. Hopefully if he came he could turn into a Tyler Eifert type tight end who played at Notre Dame now with the bengals.

 

[anomander]

Will be a guest of Syracuse at the Penn St game. With them most likely being the chief competitor for his services a win there would be huge in more ways then 1

I see this kid being an 17+ offer player

Could you be a little more specific in your projection?

I definitely see him getting serious offers. Only one matters though!

I really think he is ours to lose and may be the first commit for the class of 15.

Just curious, but what leads you to this conclusion?

His super enthusiasm toward our program and the early love that we have shown him and his parents. His twitter is all about Syracuse lately also. I think we have a legit shot, at least I hope.

I hope so too, but it's very early. Some on here list him as a strong PSU lean. I don't know enough to make an informed guess. I do like that he visited SU so early, as well as going to last year's Pinstripe Bowl.

Listening to the interview clark has done with Dan Tortora it really seems like clark is gonna end up at school where the tight end is a main vocal point in the offense. When watching his tape he his strength is pass catching and yac. You can tell he does not always wanna be put down in the three point stance because in so many plays on his tape he is running out of the two point stance in the slot and he even said so in his interviews with Dan. He just seems to be a stanford/Penn State type of tight end its gonna be real tough landing him not being negative just realistic

Pretty interested in seeing how GM uses the TE in his offense. I have a feeling it won't be mainly as a blocker.

 

[footballfan1]

hopefully he can show that he likes to move the te around even split them out wide based on the matchup!

If we can take anything from his trip to the Falcons, there's no doubt the TE could have a Gonzo-like role.

You also have to consider our current personnel . Beckett Wales is a very good TE, but I don't think he is someone you can split out every play and expect him to make 70 grabs. He is more an all around TE that can makes some catches over the middle and give you some blocking. Our potential back up Joshua Parris is more of the same. It should be noted the only TE this current staff recruited seems to be the same type of TE at Chris Clarke. PJ Batten is more a TE you can split out wide and use as a receiver, but he may end up red shirting so it will be important not to guage how we use the TE this year due to personnel, but how we plan on using the TE in the future

@schadjoe: Penn State coach BillO'Brien said he sees a place for some four TE sets
