Can't wait to leave Chicago I feel like I gotta couple ppl coming with me to

Is the staff recruiting some 2015s from St. Rita?

I'm told 2014 CB Lamar Dawson has started running but is not yet lifting weights. Still battling aplastic anemia:

Good to hear that he is starting some physical activity.

 

[CaliCuse]

I agree, Morris was a steal, can't believe the SEC schools weren't all over him, coming from Georgia. AB had a few nice runs as a RS Frosh, would like to see more runs out of the H-Back position.

I just don't want to hear from the announcers that AB is the best athlete on the team. If he does something then fine describe him that way if they must.

If he is lifting weights its a very good thing for his recovery program.

I agree, we definitely need to see some more results. He's been the most talked about player for the last 3 offseasons, save maybe the QB last year, and he really hasn't put up the numbers we all thought we would see from him.

Per twitter...

Lamar Dawson texts to say he will be coming to Syracuse next June not in January as originally planned

 

[will6786]

dan tortora is tweeting the doctors have not cleared him yet and of course they want him 100 %

 

[Libero2]

Makes sense. Out of curiosity, when he arrives in June, he will still be a "normal" freshman with 5 years to play 4 correct? I imagine he will not be physically ready to play college football next year after a year battling a disease and having limited physical activity and lifting.

Not to say he can't, but most freshman coming in are slight and need to get stronger, a guy who sat out a year for physical ailments probably needs that even more.

He has not enrolled at any college. He will have 5 to play 4 when he gets to campus - whenever that is.

The decision to hold #Cuse commit @LamarDawson until June 2015 is that his doctors haven't cleared him, want him to be 100%, he tells me.

2014 turned 2015 #Cuse commit @LamarDawson told me SU RB Coach DeAndre Smith went to his home & told him he's been moved to June 2015.

Syracuse football signee Lamar Dawson delays enrollment to June (PS: Bailey)

"They pushed it to June, but if I'm not ready it could be August and the worst-case scenario is next January," Dawson said. "But I should be ready to go by June."

Which of course is what they said last year, be there in January, worst case is next June.

Diseases are tricky issues. Hopefully he gets healthy enough to be every day healthy, if he ever happens to get D1 football healthy again, it will be to our benefit.

 

[Full_Rebar]

If he never gets healthy, I hope SU does the right thing and honors his commitment with a scholarship and lets him serve as a manager.

[Whitey23]

That's a bummer

 

[texascpa]

Wait. What? That doesn't sound like a Shafer move at all. Wonder what happened.

 

[Trueblue25]

That's disappointing, hope there's a story to this

 

[wfschrec]

Was he not medically cleared in time?

 

[Orange4]

The thing I took away from this article was not about Dawson but rather Prater. Prater thinks the staff wasted his time by trying to get him eligible...are you kidding me? They gave you an opportunity and did everything they could and told you what you exactly what you needed to do but Prater is the one that couldn't come through...PRATER wasted the staffs time, only so much they can do for you and unfortunately they can't take tests for you or sit down and study with you like elementary school. Just dumbfounded he would think that way!

I read that as the Prep school wasted his time, not the staff. Maybe it wasn't a good fit for his learning style.

Yes, I think you misinterpreted this. He feels Midwestern Prep wasted his time, because Dawson then goes on to say he is not going there for the academics as if the situation Prater was in won't be a problem for him.
