How can you not remember him!? I think he had six years of eligibility! All kidding aside we called him “Old man Dan” because he was around so long. 4 of my 5 years and I saw him a ton that fifth year because he dated one of my friends.
Who could forget Magic Mike? He was the David Bavaro of Ryan Flahertys
I feel like you’re being sarcastic here (if not, I apologize) but Rich Scanlon was pretty darn good. Team MVP & 2nd Team All-Big East as a Senior. Toiled around the NFL for 4 years as an UDFA & was even Defensive POY in NFL Europe one year.

Odd that you’d list him with Giruzzi.
From his Cuse.com bio, Rich’s Senior year:
“Recorded 147 tackles, which ranks 10th on SU’s single-season record list for tackles by a linebacker and is the most by an Orangeman since Tim Pidgeon had 98 solo tackles and 60 assists for 158 total stops in 1986 ... Recorded 94 solo tackles, the seventh-most in a season in SU history ... Ranked eighth in the NCAA and third in the BIG EAST with 12.25 total tackles per game and ninth nationally and second in the league with 7.83 solo stops per contest”Rich Scanlon - Football - Syracuse University Athletics

Mine is Tony Romano. Had him in my class when I was a TA. He was a joy.
Yeah we are not getting those type of prospects from NYS. I really think Malcolm Cater would have been a stud. He just had too many issues. Too bad.
I’m sure that he did. Got to meet his parents at the games in New Orleans & Atlanta. They seemed like well-grounded people who would’ve pointed Cam in the right direction.
You do realize he was injured halfway into his RF year right? He hardly played more than a few games at 100%.
Yes, and your point is...?
It’s like declaring Jim Brown the greatest player ever based on 1 season of play.
That's a poor analogy. I never declared Conley the best ever. You do realize Conley came back after the initial injury and played at a very high level, right? The injury door that was opened by the first injury didn't allow him to play long enough at that high level.
If I recall, there were actually 2 separate knee incidents. He came back in 1992 but then sat out 1993 before returning in 1994. I still remember the gut punch headline in the P-S that declared him out for the 1993 season. His leadership alone would have made a huge difference for that defense.
