Guess this is the kind of thing that happens when your head coach is the number one recruiter in America, your DC is in the top 5 and your edge coach is top 20. If I am dreaming please don’t wake me up

I guess this was the Florida hint the staff was dropping. Love it!

 

[Trueblue25]

Come on feel the noise!

 

[CA Monk]

Recruiting-wise, there are few superlatives left to describe what’s taking place.
This is the Syracuse board - right?

Speed, size and the guy is already jacked. Destined to play in the NFL.

Fran said he is behind in recruiting the 2025- 2026 prospects but he currently has the #15 and #9 ranked classes respectively.

Fun times

 

[Irt4su]

Fran has risen

 

[shu 49]

Absolutely ridiculous last 4 months by Fran. Never in my life did I think we'd see this at SU

I always thought we could be 15-20 like we were all thru 90's but this is above what i even thought. wow

 

[hoopsupstate]

We have to hold on to this kid for two years. A lot can happen in that time. We could be playing in some league in Canada by then.

He holds himself to high standards. He must barely sleep.

 

[Ozone!]

Our first 2026 commit, a powerful one!​

Because this kid is still green?

Fran is like Chuck Norris. He doesn’t sleep, he waits.
Then he strikes.

Cool

This kid is right down the road from me. Heritage high school in Palm Bay, not American Heritage as Mike M reported. Brevard county is an under recruited part of Florida, but still has 10 ish high D1 players per year. We had 2 players from this area last year, Jones the wr from Cocoa and a reserve linebacker who played special teams from Melbourne (name escapes me). Good to see cuse getting in around here.

This area is huge Gator country, not to mention FSU, UCF and Miami. It will take a lot of effort to hold onto a recruit this highly rated. If anyone can do it, Fran can.

I will catch some of his games this year and report back.

Go Orange!

Man, I sure hope our world-class recruiters can coach. Could be a Golden Age of Orange if they can.
