I try not to read things into Twitter but fwiw he was supposed to announce today, possibly to Iowa State, but has put it off for at least a month. The odd thing is that yesterday he retweeted Rodney Williams tweet about being offered by Syracuse. Could a visit in the works?

him postponing is definitely good news for Syracuse, and bad news for Iowa St. Now we just have to get the kid on campus

Do you know if this is who Moskal has been working on recruiting?

i don't know. i think it was more Cabinda and Bennett. I'm not exactly sure though?

I'm not exactly sure what CORE6 is? It may be a football strength & conditioning program for football players out in the Chicago area, but I know Moskal is a member and so is Sykes, so it would be interesting to know if he has been in his ear. I know Sykes was congratulating Moskal on his commitment. I believe O'Fallon, is across the state though?

"It's all about if I like it. If I enjoy my visit down there (to Syracuse), I could possibly commit while I'm there."

Can't ask anything more than that. I'll take that, wish alot more kids were like this young man.

I live in the Chicago burbs, Core 6 is a big deal, our staff getting any kind of "in" with Core 6 is great. Haven't heard of any specific visit date for Cotton, if he held up his decision so he can visit SU, then we are a serious player for him. Get him here and we could grab him from ISU's evil Big 12 clutches.

Isn't Colton Moskal core 6?

The only draw back with recruiting so far away from home, otherwise both he and Sykes (other reasons) may have already visited. Hopefully he can wait it out another month and try to make it on an official

Hopefully Cotton and Sykes will be patient and wait for officials so they are able to visit SU before they decide to commit.

The St. Louis area will be tough to recruit for a number of reasons but distance and cost for the kids to get up here has to be near the top of the list. Since the recruiting calendar is inching backwards every year with more and more kids making decisions in the spring and summer before their senior years (when you can't pay their way for a campus visit), this would seem to me all the more reason to focus most if not all of your attention on your backyard. I'd like to see what DeAndre Smith could do downstate and in New Jersey. Lord knows Moore could use as much help as he can get.

I call BS

Kids from all over the country somehow find their way to Bama or Notre Dame from across the country

It is all about true interest and desire

You don't know every kids' situation.
Let me put it this way...in some cases there are extenuating circumstances.

Syracuse to St. Louis - 886 miles
Syracuse to Miami - 1216 miles

Should we stop offering south florida kids as well?

There are cheap direct flights to Florida from all over the country, including from Syracuse. St. Louis, not so much. When St. Louis becomes a vacation hotspot, then it'll be worth it. Not to mention that S. Florida by itself produces 5x as many D-1 recruits as IL and MO combined and happens to be within our conference's footprint.

I've made my point and I'll drop it now. I think concentrating our efforts in the 6-hour radius and after that the Eastern Seaboard is a far better expenditure of the staff's time and available resources than chasing kids anywhere beyond OH.
