Class of 2024 ATH Malachi James (NJ) COMMITTED / SIGNED TO SYRACUSE (2/7/24)

[GoSU96]

Not with an NIL budget of only $6 million.

That buys you 1 in 1978

This guy is just amazing.

I just don't understand how he was still available so late in the recruiting process.

I would think he would be a big time recruit even if he was 5'9 and 170 pounds. But he has a grown man body and looks physically ready to play college ball today.

How can he not be in anyone's top 50 players in NJ?

I guess him getting hurt last year really shut down the recruiting process for him and he was forgotten by everyone? Except Coach Fran.

Agreed.

Now he's 5' 11" 195 and ran a 10.40 100m and 21.13 200m all muscle.

Guess they overlooked another diamond that Coach Fran found and realizes the potential.

I can't wait to see him run in practice and games. I do not see him sitting at all.

He and McDaniel both seem like pretty amazing late finds.

I'd like to be there and watch James run and hopefully win both the 100 and 200!

 

[ConnectiCuse]

10.82 in the prelims and 10.74 in the final - good for 3rd place.

200m results not posted yet.

And with that, we are reminded these recruits are still high school kids.

Nice picture.

This young man is a freakish athlete and a physical specimen. It’s going to be quite Interesting to see the position he will play once he gets here.

Wing back. Because he flies.

Rb 3?

This is one reason why I’m not worried about rb depth

Kid can start out on kor, gunner on teams, switchblade on offense.

 

[kcsu]

Just get him the ball

 

[baggerbob]

Rb 3?

Need to find situations to get him in space, regardless of how you do it.
Being strong and fast can'be taught.
5-11-198 now, what will he be in the fall, or 2 years?

 

[Qbobby]

what will he be in the fall, or 2 years?

Absolutely terrifying to a defense.

 

[shu 49]
