Class of 2016 DB Jared Mayden (TX) to Alabama

[cuse309]

Proof that Bud should not be taken seriously when talking football is evidenced in the following picture. That ball looks as foreign to his hands as a vaccum cleaner looks in mine. Talk about a lack of ball security...

 

[jekelish]

He is literally the worst.

 

[VaSaltine]

Oh, God, he used "whiz-bang" in that article. I just about lost it. LMAO.

Ha! I was lost at Orson Welles. I think a whiz bang originated out of WWI which should be about right.

Coming soon at the Sub-Standard, Bud praises the concussion protection of leather helmets.

I keep watching this hoping his feet get caught in the spokes.

 

[djorange1989]

you guys really need to respect such a big huzzah like Bud. He is the ramrod of the PS. All of you unwashed just don't appreciate his greatness. I would be the first to buy duccats if he did a live show.

 

[Libero2]

Could we go back to talking about Mayden? Why bog down his thread (which his family could well be reading) with nonsense about a past his time ornery writer?

Let's get working on our 30 for 30 again

 

[anomander]

Seriously though when is the last time Bud has wrote a some what positive article? His wise guy schtick is atrocious.

 

[cusefan88]

Bud is not his real name.

 

[jekelish]

Bud is not his real name.

Well, clearly. I mean they wouldn't let him print Sh**head in the paper.

 

[cusefan88]

Haha well played. Yeah I mean his columns are out of touch with the times. Honestly I think Donna Ditota would make a good columnist, she always has tons of great stories.

 

[anomander]

I wish someone could edit out his grill on top of his articles, and insert this head shot instead

 

[jekelish]

I can't believe we haven't been talking about this kid. When's the last time we were in the running for a truly elite CB prospect? I'm very much hoping we can somehow get him on campus for a visit.

You know if he says hes visiting this thread will blow up though! Haha! Most of our fan base still doesn't believe in optimism. It's like Missouri on here, "show me!"

With that said, I'm really excited about the possibility of getting this kid on Campus. Neal, Colon, Dominoes...

As well as establishing a foothold in Texas. Hopefully.

But yeah, lockdown CB's are in the same category as solid DT's. Watching this one patiently.

I listened to the interview from before he spoke with the SU staff and they offered. He seemed very open to hearing from the staff. He also seemed very intelligent and one could tell how much he respects Robert Washington. I can only imagine that his interest in Syracuse has grown after talking with the staff and receiving an offer. He would be one huge domino, particularly with his brother possibly following and with the other high profile players on his high school.

 

[jekelish]

Yep, the fact we're on his brother so early is big. His brother is a heck of an athlete who, with a couple more years under his belt, should be a very good QB prospect.

 

[Upstate]

It's like Missouri on here, "show me!"

Ahhh, that brings back memories of getting kicked off Missouri's message board after they thought they'd wipe the floor with SU.

I got kicked off their board, too. I think it was because 2 days later I went back and posted "It's Monday..." and in the body, "...and Alec Lemon is still open and just scored another touchdown."

The last play in this should give everyone reason for excitement about what Mayden could bring to the table:

 

[SUskibum]

Jek you are the man!

One thing I haven't seen mentioned is that when these kids all come up to campus I think there will be unexpected bonding happening when they meet some of the younger kids who also turned down Mich, UF, etc. (I am looking at you Steven, Jake and others) I'm not sure how aware they are of how we have already been accumulating kids who think a lot like they do and had some of the same big name opportunities they do but turned it down for the unique set of circumstances that we are able to offer.

That's fantastic. I really need to learn how to make youtube clips. Anyone have a mashup of highlights from players arriving this year to send to potential recruits as well?
