Cool PS article -- reevaluating the class of 2015 now that their careers have ended

Interesting analysis -- also a bunch of names I'd forgotten about:

Re-evaluating Syracuse football's 2015 recruiting class

Thank the lord for Dino...


Id give CF 4 stars

Shafer had too many misses. He got us some great players that helped get this team over the hump with Dino's staff, but he missed on so many guys and depth/experience was destroyed.

I was looking at the 2014 class recently. 25 kids committed/signed. 15 (6 of the top 10 commits) didn't contribute. Didn't make it to campus, kicked off the team, transfer, etc.

The other 10 guys did pretty well though. Cole Murphy, Chris Slayton, Johnathan Thomas, Steve Ishmael, Zaire Franklin, Paris Bennett, Jamal Custis, Erv Philips, Aaron Roberts and Cordy.

If you look at each one of Shafers classes, this is the common theme. His staff took way too many risky kids

GRob and Coach P also had many misses. Both had to offer a fair share of "reaches"...many whom never made it to the field. Thankfully, DIno has changed the culture and reenergized the fan base.

That re-eval on Fredericks at 0 stars (457 yards, 4.6 ypc in 2018) seems a little harsh compared to, say, Troy Henderson at 2 stars (4 tackles in 2018).

He is a 10 in the eyes' most young ladies of CNY. Almost RGLCL level

You guys talk with such technical jargon...RDGCL?

He's an 11 - supposedly my wife told me to say that.

Right on. They grabbed some talent in that class. Shafer could recruit.
