I'm posting this thread because it was pointed out to me, cuse45 , that Coach Brown liked this tweet about Lewis entering the portal. Also, fwiw, there is some following with Mannicci.

He’s from Edison, NJ. Get a locker ready for him

 

[cayugacuse]

Hard pass here imo.

 

[Franz69]

Nine tackles in 2023, so did not play much.

 

[cuse45]

Thanks, CL. Remember, the staff missed out on some other corner targets earlier this winter. I think they’d like another experienced corner on the roster.

 

[richmondcuse03]

Would be a good experienced depth play. Can never have enough depth. And a Jersey guy to boot.

 

[Cusefan69]

CL does not just post randomly I have been told by others on this board. My guess something to pay attention to. Don’t mind me, I will just be over here, keeping an eye out for a commit.

Hard pass here imo.

Hard pass Why? He’s started 23 games at ND, not sure what He would do here but he could at least provide depth at a minimum for a year.

 

[hoopsupstate]

It was stated on a ND site to watch for Syracuse.

Nunzio, Mannicci, Ross Douglas & CUSE FB Recruiting are all following him now

Following is the modern equivalent of the “l like you do you like me? Circle Yes or No” notes from days gone by.

After four seasons at Notre Dame, cornerback
Clarence Lewis
will look into other options for his fifth and final season of eligibility.

The 6-foot, 202-pound senior entered the transfer portal Friday as a graduate transfer, Inside ND Sports confirmed with multiple sources. Because Lewis is scheduled to graduate in May, he doesn't have to wait for the April 16-30 transfer portal window to open.
Lewis played in 50 games with 23 starts during his Notre Dame career. He tallied 124 tackles, four tackles for loss, three interceptions, 18 pass breakups, three forced fumbles and one sack in an Irish uniform.

THE IMPORTANCE OFTHE 40 YARD DASH

It is primarily run to evaluate the speed and acceleration of American football players by coaches and scouts particularly for the NFL Draft but also for collegiate recruiting. A player's recorded time for every position can have a heavy impact on his prospects in college or professional football.

OK = 5.0 - 5.99

OK! = 4.9 - 4.99

FAIR = 4.8 - 4.89

GOOD = 4.7 - 4.79

FAST = 4.6 - 4.69

FAST! = 4.5 - 4.59

>>>>VERY FAST = 4.4 - 4.49 <<<< (4.45) WHERE EVERY RB, WR, AND ALL DB’S WANT THEIR TIME TO BE AT A GAME TIME OR AT THE COMBINE

ELITE = 4.0 - 4.39 > TRANSFER ZEED HAYNES 4.39 IS HERE NOW, MALACHI JAMES 4.39, IS A FEB. SIGNEE< MARCELLUS BARNES 4.39 IS A DEC SIGNEE

Depth depth depth

 

[cuse45]

This guy logged 23 starts for one of the best defenses in the country the last four years. If he did come to Syracuse, it’s to compete for a starting job.

Agreed. I’m sure he’s been told he can compete for and earn immediate starting time. He’ll be going against a true freshman and others who have never started. Opportunity to start is definitely there. Could be a good bridge guy for a year for Barnes.

 

[klemmer56]

Would be a very valuable, veteran, player add. ND has 2/3 draftable CBs on the roster right now, and looks like he got recruited over. Every team needs players like this on their roster, either to start, or to provide depth.

No...I do post randomly. You just need to determine which are the random posts.

 

[djorange1989]

Hard pass here imo.

Unless he has a ton of off field issues, then why the hell would we pass??

 

[orangefog]

Because, we’re afraid of being too good?

[Bulldog04]

give me as many guys possible that have the ability to get drafted. Dunno if this is that type of player but these 1 year guys are great bc when they get announced at draft they will say Syracuse instead of notre dame. I’m all for that wit Fran
