Whoa!

Following his position coach from last year, presumably.

COMPARISON​

Ronnie HarrisonJACKSONVILLE JAGUARS


Has played multiple positions from receiver and quarterback even to cornerback and safety. With his size and length, safety is the most likely position or a hybrid backer depending on the scheme. Looks the part as far as build and wingspan. Background of other positions allows for versatility. Has good ball skills. Between that and size, he will be able to match-up on tight ends, but can also play over a slot. Willing tackler who contributes in run support. Can still get faster at the top end.

 

[Cuse'91]

Pete's sake. Here we go with the 11 safety lineup again. Get a proven wideout, for mercy's sake.

Syracuse lands transfer DB Jalil Martin

Syracuse picks up a Big Ten transfer that will help that right away in safety Jalil Martin, a big, multi-positional prospect.

Was a high school WR, had a dozen Power 5 offers and I believe this clinches that we won the Tony White trade

He also played receiver in high school. Could be part of the cards here.

 

[RF2044]

Looks like coming out of high school, he had offers from:

• Nebraska [where he attended]
• Illinois
• Syracuse
• BC
• Oregon
• Kentucky
• Iowa
• Wisconsin
• Northwestern
• Vanderbilt

 

[Cuse'91]

He also played receiver in high school. Could be part of the cards here.

Ok, but the last B1G "receiver" we got, that was moved to defense, didn't exactly help us last season. So many quality wrs were in the Portal, and most have already found new homes.

The article discussed PT being available in the secondary, since we play 5 at all times. Seems likely he's entrenched on defense.

Wow

 

[AngryOtto]

Clearly the coaches were not satisfied with the DB unit after spring. Adding 3 DBs that are 6’2 plus and 200 plus pounds really changes that unit.

 

[RF2044]

Also shows the value of not just expending open scholarships to add bodies in February, and the benefit of patiently waiting to see what shakes loose after spring practices with new guys entering the portal.

The portal can be of great benefit to Syracuse... but only if we're patient.

Great job this week by Dino and staff!

Defense wins championships


We are solidly upgrading DB room with dudes with ACC size

This is awesome to watch

I bet Rocky made it a point of emphasis to bring in some talented bigger guys for the secondary. You can't play press coverage against ACC WRs unless you have big, athletic and physical guys in your secondary.

This gives us a chance to be successful. We were his first offer. He must have a good relationship with Coach Fisher as well.

What quality portal receivers out there that will come to Cuse and are better than Gadsden Alford and Jones? Those guys are in their second season in this system.

Cool

Good points. Jeremiah Wilson struggles against bigger Wr's. His skill set is better for slot corner imo.

Saw that the Burton legacy kid went to Auburn. We can't recruit over Pena in the slot? He's been so unspectacular; desperately need wr production there.

I can’t wait for the season to start! All these new signings have me itching for SUFB!
