[Wrinkle]

I don't believe this is megatron's son

Is this son of Megatron?

I wouldn’t decommit from a service academy unless I didn’t want to serve in the military.
The life connections made must be life altering.

Most of us shrubs couldn’t even get into Navy or West Point. It takes a special thing to get into either institution.

Not Megatron's kid.

He has two young boys but not high school/college aged.

Side note... Megatron is now eligible to be a 1st time HOFer.

 

[Cuse'91]

This is so crazy... Alabama and Ohio State offers incoming tomorrow...

 

[GoSU96]

JFC

 

[Orangello]

Well that was fun

 

[tep624]

Yes I'd be surprised if he's anything other than SEC at this point. Unless he's looking to get out of the South and the academic angle.

Along with recent offers from Penn st, Ole miss, Vandy. He might be the best to blow up after a Cuse offer. The funny thing is people would have been like "he's just a 2 star". if he had committed to Cuse

"he's just a 2 star" and you left out - "wow we're flipping navy recruits."

Exactly. Star watchers.

 

[Libero2]

Regardless of whether he comes here or elsewhere,

is he really going to stay committed to Navy with every offer under the Sun dropping in his lap?

 

[FreakTalksAboutSU]

Mega redux!

 

[OttoinGrotto]

So... for the uninitiated, why is this kid blowing up exactly?

Is he just like, really good at football?

Looking at available film on 247 and comparing his 2019 film with his 2020 film, one of the bigger reasons is he actually has defensive film on there.

Comparing the two films, speed improved substantially to the eye test. Started to consistently run away from the small school (smallest schools in MS) competition, which he didn't do as much as a junior.

Senior year film is remarkably reminiscent to Neil Nunn. Playmaking ability on kickoffs and hips look like they really work. Likely needs a redshirt year for physicality, but seems like a dude that could be impactful in the secondary.

Late bloomer from a small school that did a better job of putting together his film for coaches to see on both sides of the ball. Film is just so important in the present recruiting climate.

He is NOT Megatron's son......

 

[GoCuse14]

He is NOT Megatron's son...

Man, Megatron having an almost college age kid makes me feel old.

 

[FreakTalksAboutSU]

He is NOT Megatron's son...

I think his dad was a football player tho...maybe I misread

 

[HOFCeluck]

I really just want to say that Megatrons kid plays here. Maybe in part some revenge for the Champs Bowl.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Is this the new "Dajuan Coleman is Derrick's kid?"

 

[Chip]

Is this the new "Dajuan Coleman is Derrick's kid?"

He is, right?

 

[721Comstock]

He is, right?

Yeah, but he denies it.

Kinda like Donnie tries to deny that DJTJ & Eric are his kids.

Monday Musings: Syracuse Target Blowing Up, Two Commits Will Sign Early

Syracuse football recruiting news and notes.

www.si.com

Syracuse target Calvin Johnson has been one of the hottest recruits on the trail in recent weeks. Johnson committed to Navy in June as a quarterback, but that has not stopped power five schools from pursuing. Syracuse was the first power five opportunity when they offered on November 13th. Since then, Duke, Virginia, Vanderbilt, Ole Miss, Florida State, Penn State, Mississippi State and Iowa have all offered. He is being recruited as an athlete, but most like him as a defensive back. Syracuse is certainly still involved there, but the competition just stiffened quite a bit.
