Yikes.

 

[CIL]

I wish I could say I didn't see this coming...100 dollar talent and 10 cent head.

 

[CuseCrew08]

Dang, was hoping he would finally get it together this year... Next man up!

 

[Orange4]

I wish I could say this is a huge blow for us cause the kid has talent but he just never got it together and scored 1 touchdown in 3 years...anyway hope he can get his head on straight and best of luck to him for whatever he purses in life

 

[sutomcat]

What a waste of potential.

I hope he stays in school and gets his degree. And gets his life together.

 

[gmoney44]

It didn't take Nostradamus to see this one coming. Was this kids wires crossed when he got here or did not redshirting him and constant position change screw him up? Maybe a bit of both.

 

[cuseclappy]

There goes our 3rd string H-back who had one more career touchdown than I did.. damnit!!

 

[jekelish]

I wish I could say I didn't see this coming...100 dollar talent and 10 cent head.

I was thinking the same thing.

It's like the line from Bronx Tale: "There's nothing sadder in life than wasted talent."

 

[texascpa]

Hate to see him go, just because by the looks of it he did mature over the years. Or at least that was the perception. Up until today, there's not been one reported incident of AB screwing up. I think most of us expected, based on his HS antics, that he would, and a lot sooner.

 

[TexanMark]

If dismissed from the team I assume his scholie is gone...not seeing how he gets his act together and remains in school.

 

[cuseguy]

He was a disappointment on and off the field.

Sad.

 

[OttoForLife]

First thing I thought when I saw this headline - how convenient. Kid never got it together and was (on paper) becoming a non factor heading into this season. Wonder what he did and if the staff took advantage of having an "out." (I'm sure they didn't, but still, have to wonder...)

Depends on what happened. If it's not too serious, it's worth it to SU for APR to have him finish up this Fall.

 

[LeMoyneCuse]

Sad.

That summarizes it perfectly.

 

[AAM62]

yeah his stats sucked but you cant deny that he would draw attention from defenses just off of size and ability

Ashton Broyld came in as a highly-touted local prospect but never found a comfort spot. Won't get a shot to go out strong in senior year

Broyld was always an honest interview who admitted his faults, including work ethic at times. Hybrid could have been a good role for him.

We will have to see what the team violation is for Broyld. Hope it's nothing serious.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

I was always curious why he seemed buried on the depth chart heading into this year. Looks like the reasons may not have been strictly talent based, but maybe trying to light a fire or to give him the incentive to step in line.

 

[Stern]

Not shocked by this in the least.

Very sad. But hopefully the younger guys take notice and realize they can't mess around.

 

[CanadianSU]

Say what you want that's a huge loss. He was mismanaged like crazy at Syracuse, but some of it's his own fault, if not all.

 

[xc84]

Very sad. But hopefully the younger guys take notice and realize they can't mess around.

Very true. You only get so many chances and one has to learn lessons from them.

 

[rrlbees]

Should have found his home on defense from day 1. Head wasn't there.
