This is a gigantic get for Syracuse University Football. Congratulations young Mr. Chestnut on your choice of Syracuse University Football. Great job Syracuse Coaches and Recruiting Staff. I'm so freaking happy, I don't even care that the weekend is almost over and I have to work tomorrow. Who cares, Syracuse got a really good one. Go Orange!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is big.

Terrific "get" -- this class is shaping up very nicely, and will prove to be a much higher rated overall class once some of these players get re-evaluated.

Babers and staff have done a really nice job of adding elite athletes / high potential prospects to the secondary, and Chestnut continues that trend. Great pick-up!

You must have missed the Rutgirls fans stopping by yesterday to inform us that he wasn't an RU "take" -- because he isn't good enough for Schiano.

Hahaha I did miss that. No 1 DB in Jersey isn't a take...Riiiiiiighhhhhht

 

[RF2044]

So... we're 47th nationally, but 14 out of 14 in the ACC?

Riiiight.

 

[rackman18]

Now, Rooks, Cruz, Blair, Gadsden, and Hatcher. Can you say hell yah?

 

[money3189]

Great get for us in so many ways. and **** rutgers

 

[General Joe]

Its really great to show all we can beat out Mich, Ole Miss, Mich ST, MIA, Louisville, WV etc etc etc for a solid 4 star top player in NJ.

This proves Syracuse CAN win top talent vs other P5 teams!!!!! A lot of us have been saying that all along. Duce is one big piece. Now lets close Rooks and E-Cruz to bring up this class. Looks like we have 4 or 5 solidly in play already for 2022. As HCDB says "close your eyes and imagine"!

During his junior season, he returned three punts and one kickoff for a touchdown.

That’s impossible. He only has DE speed.

 

[Trueblue25]

That’s impossible. He only has DE speed.

Cuse DE’s have been known to run sub 4.5’s in the past

 

[tep624]

Very nice. Kudos to the staff for closing out a high profile NJ prospect over some solid competition!

 

[orange79]

i TOTALLY respect his decision.

 

[Orijinal]

So... we're 47th nationally, but 14 out of 14 in the ACC?

Riiiight.

Yes. This is absolutely strange

 

[ForCuseSake]

Congrats Duce,

Always great to get high quality Jersey boys.

Roasting chestnuts on an open Rutgers dumpster fire...
