any else concerned about our recruits

[kcsu]

I know that we have been telling some pretty good recruits that there is no room at the inn. Is this still the case or has a four game losing streak and the stink wafting out of the fine basement flipped the sign back to vacancy.

For true blue chippers, our sign says VACANCY right now no matter whether we are winning or losing.

After attending the luncheon today I can't way to see what impact the Class of 2012 will have on this program.

There is no room left and all the 2012 commits are solid desipte the disappointing end to this season.

Anything in particular that you remember from the luncheon that you can share? I'd love to hear any key points that Coach made. I'm sure others would as well.

YES. Coach says he likes the lunches because he can open up and share more because, we honor his wishes and do not share what he says!!!!

Coach. Do you play for him? Come on give me a break this bs about keeping it here is just another example of Doug being a ing control freak. Really guys do you think for one minute that anything he shares in an open forum like a lunch is double secret stuff?

Who cares? Since the obvious idiot Marrone recruited them, what difference does it make if they show up or not.

Good Post. I agree.

Cant wait to get some quality LB depth. Next year we need tons of WR's and RB's.

Not sure about "tons," but we desperately need playmakers at QB, WR, CB, and DL - those are the types of players and positions that are in highest demand everywhere, even in NFL draft. Until we land a few of those types, we will continue to struggle. As for RB, relatively "easier" to find and recruit, but we do need numbers there. OL? That should very much be Marrone's forte - finding and developing raw potential.

Syracuse has to recruit on potential at this point( no blue chips) . I think the growth of last years class will and the fact that we will be in the Big East will give Marrone a better chance at getting it going again. I view us in much better shape finishing next year, so any open spots left from this year will a bigger asset next year. Power of positive thinking

Im actually nervous at RB for next year. Methinks PTG will be our only explosive guy back there and he hasn't shown he can stay healthy.

He has no problem staying healthy on the football field... It's the party's that get him!

 

[Noexcuse]

Hard to believe we have so little depth at this position. So far we have McFarlane and Smallwood coming in to supplement the returnees. Who knows if they will be able to contribute right off the bat, though McFarlane certainly looks like he might be able to.

Why, he looks like he'd be very comfortable to sleep on, like a pillow pet.

That's why it's imperative that we add Morris and/or Perkins to this class, although Perkins looks better suited for LB, imo. I think if Morris signs, he gets carries from Day 1.

And also, is Smallwood actually coming? Keep reading conflicting reports. If he his, he's gonna have to bulk up some before being a big contributor at RB.

No.

Smallwood is NOT coming to SU.

The things that Coach Marrone says at the lunches have never been reported by the media. I will also keep the information he told us confidential since we get some real insight as to the inner workings of the football program at the luncheons.

The one thing I will say is Coach Marrone is a class act. Having attended coaches lunches for more than 20 years he is the first one who ever picked-up the tab for everyone in attendance as a way to thank us for supporting the football program in 2011.

Coach Marrone has taken the four game losing streak harder than any of us but I honestly believe this program will rebound in 2012.

Go, in your opinion, why are the recruits who are on board not known to the public?

I have no idea. He said that NCAA rules prevent him from talking about specific recruits but he continues to insist the class of 2012 is full and the losing streak has not hurt recruiting.
