2024 Summer Roster Update

[MSOrange]

But Kennedy was a transfer from Cornell, so at least he's kicked in games. Two-time second team all-Ivy.

Good call. I had forgotten his background. He should be pretty good insurance for Brady.

DL getting strong

Impressive looking unit. So who’s an end and who’s a tackle?

Going by the extremely unsophisticated method of aligning them by size, I would assume…

Tackles: Wilson Jr., Hastings, Ingraham, Nwokocha, Perry, Fuentes-Cundiff, Miles, Watson

Ends: Diggs, Jobity Jr., Simmons, Jaquez Jr.,
Edwards

But that doesn’t seem very balanced.

Are some of the guys listed at LB (maybe Heard, Lesaine Jr., Omopariola, Brown) playing a Joker type position and will effectively be edge rushers?

Very curious to see how this shakes out, but I expect we see a lot of tackle sized dudes playing as a 7 tech DE.

We certainly have the meats.

I think Hastings will play some end, especially on early downs.

Love that Elijah came in at 230 lbs already. Wasn't expecting that. If that continues, he could be a player soon.

These are incredible, man. Thank you.

 

[steve deberg]

Well played. For the record, I am not teeing these up on purpose.

 

[UpstateSM]

Our OL is freaking huge. Holy chit.

And every time I look at our receiving rooms I fall more in love. I'm so ready to have my heartbroken this fall.

 

[money3189]

Love that Petry has worked his way up to 301 now. He might have a chance to start.

I wouldnt bet against him. I expect him to start at guard

 

[0.2 YNdeeR]

Your position lists are easier to read than SU Athletics. Thx for the thread. I know you’ve got Nwokocha at 6-5 312 (post #2), but you might want to add him to the DL roster.

Yes. Good thought. 7 and 5 tech. allows you to play bigger guys to help defend those off tackle plays

Petry winning the camp battles would be an incredible story. Rooting for him.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

So if no Bailey, are we clean at 85 scholarships without talking ourselves into shenanigans with the coaches' kids?

The last newbie, Davien Kerr, is also missing.

 

[baggerbob]

Oronde up 13 lbs of pure muscle! Love to see Villari up as well, our TE room is full of beasts.

Also, I'm pretty sure Willis was listed as 220 when he got here. +6. So impressive what this new staff can do

If James is listed as a running back, if he picks up the schemes look out.
Still would like to see him used in different places to utilize his outstanding speed. You just can't teach that kind of size with that speed.

 

[0.2 YNdeeR]

I want a picture of both of them on either side of a door!

Wasn’t Lesaine at TE in the Spring?

Listed as a LB but IIRC they lined him up as edge rusher a couple times. I may have to watch the Spring game for the 14th time to see if he got in as a TE!

You’re correct. Still have 10 scholarship linebackers for the 4-2-5. Seems like an appropriate number.

I really liked Bailey.

 

[steve deberg]

I really liked Bailey.

Yea me too. Based purely on his measurable, he didn’t seem out of place compared to the LBs that Fran and Robinson have recruited. He was also on the ACC All Academic team last year, so surely grades weren’t an issue.

I thought he may have been a candidate to gets reps behind Barron at the Jack position in early downs.

Wish him the best.

Edit: Also I’m not a subscriber so I didn’t read the article. Maybe the context of his absence was covered there.

 

[FasterCuse]

Sorry if posted elsewhere, but does anyone know when fall camp starts? Is there going to be media access to any of the practices? Not wishing summer away but getting pumped for this season to start.

No context given.

I thought Kerr was a 25 ?

Class of 2024 - DB Davien Kerr (CT) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (6/24/24)

2025 WR Davien Kerr, St Thomas More, Oakdale, CT https://www.hudl.com/profile/16552035/Davien-Kerr Reclassified from 2024 to 2025

syracusefan.com

Class of 2024 Bloomfield (CT) High athlete Davien Kerr has committed to Syracuse following his weekend official visit, he announced on social media. He had planned on attending a prep year at St. Thomas More and reclassifying to the 2025 class. That changed, however, as Kerr was offered by the Orange following a strong camp performance previously and quickly set up an official visit. That was enough to seal the deal in his recruitment. He will enroll this summer and be part of the roster for the upcoming season.

Believe Fran said August 1st

Any chance Bailey is an injury casualty?
