We’ve never had a commit play in this game. It was formerly known as the Army All American game. We’ve had kids transfer in (Paulus for example) and have had a number of kids in other AA games, but never this one. So pretty cool to put that streak to rest if he commits here.

What game did Caleb O play in, UA?

Yeah he played in UA. So did DeVito and Nolton. Might have been others can’t remember.

Forgot about Noltan. Boy, I would really love to know why he couldn’t break into the rotation.

How firm are those balls

We’ve moved from stress squeezy ball to fully inflated basketball firm I think.

Spring registration for undergrads is 1/13-1/14. First day of classes is 1/16. Late registration is 1/16-1/23.

For a highly recruited athlete, time is not an issue.

Read some stuff where they didn't think Georgia was really a player anymore fwiw. I haven't really seen anything that points to Ole Miss but they are on a insane recruiting roll. The kid follows pretty much every single Syracuse staff possible. I think this kids been cuse since his visit (ik ik that's a real reach considering all the balls dropped)

I had Georgia on my mind

Maybe Kirby helps Fran out here after the nice going away present Fran gave to Georgia with helping flip Bolden.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's already committed and/or signed here. Just hasn't been announced.

Georgia isn't in this post-Fran. It's expected to be SU.

As I noted before it’s the worst kept secret in Hollywood…

I’ve always been of the opinion that he signed his NLI on December 20

 

[Cusefan69]

I just plan on watching so I can see the Syracuse hat picked up and the commentary about how Fran is bringing in a ton of talent to Syracuse.

 

[Cusesky8214]

"The East roster is more safety-heavy, but Marcellus Barnes probably had the best day among the corners. The uncommitted corner has plush movement skills and athleticism to go with good coverage polish."

 

[Cusefan69]

Out of curiosity does Fran show up at the game to represent with Barnes on the recruiting side? Meet up with a few other players while there just to talk, meet mom's and dad's, maybe set the table for a year or two down the road.

 

[Cusesky8214]

I wish we had some of our media people there and at the UA game to get some more coverage of these guys.

Well that would require real work.

BUMP!!! I got a feeling

That was mine as well which is good considering his performance.

9. CB Marcellus Barnes – Uncommitted

Marcellus Barnes did not give up a single completion during Thursday’s All-American practice. It was a slower practice in general, but the receivers and defensive backs still had their fair amount of competition. Barnes was extremely sticky in coverage on the day. Anytime a pass was thrown his way, he managed to get his hand on the football. His fluidity and change of direction allowed him to stay in phase and blanket on any receiver he was covering. Even during a practice that included no 1-on-1 periods, Barnes was excellent. The Chattanooga (Tenn.) McCallie School product is set to announce his commitment during Saturday’s game with Syracuse trending per the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine. – Cody Bellaire
