I did see him play and I have no doubt he played well. It was best game of his career. However, his longest run was 10 yards. On some of the runs he lowered his head w/o looking for any daylight and just grinded out 6-7 yards. Yes, a good run. Great run? No.  Now, if that was Walter Reyes carrying the ball, he would have kept his head up and gained several more yards, because on one of the run, there was a clear lane for him to cut back.

When Bailey was a freshman he ran for 126yds vs. Notre Dame. When DC was a freshman, he rushed for 100+ yds few games. We saw some great runs out of these players. I have not SEEN  one great run or seen anything to make me believe he will be the RB to lead SU to top of the Big East or top 35 ranking.
Personally, I think we are looking at Van Chew type of player. Can play good against bad teams, but not good enough to make an impact against BE caliber team week in week out. Yes, Jerome Smith is a good change of pace back, but I believe Syracuse should be able to recruit better RBs than who can lead us to the next level. That's just my opinion and I could be wrong.

Question, do you see him starting at places like Miami, VT, GT, UNC and NC state?
