Class of 2024 DB/WR Willy Love (NJ) Verbal to Monmouth

[GoCuse14]

Or the poster. I was baffled by the multiple stilettos to that post.

I kind of thought he looked a little slow in that last highlight video. I am no scout, to be fair.

From what I understand, Love was projected as a 4-star recruit, but that may have been inflated by Dohn because he was an in-state Rutgers target.

Love was listed as a WR / DB. But from what I understand, he may be a guy who projects to LB [or perhaps Rover, like Justin Barron] in our system.

When Love rebuked RU's commitment ultimatum, Dohn downgraded him to 3-stars, and the RU board chatter was that he was "too slow" to be a DB. The rationalize everything, so that assessment needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

I believe that Money [great poster, HS coach] on our board indicated that he probably isn't a defensive back, or that he'd "grown" out of that position and now projects at LB / Rover. But I think with his ranking, if you land him, you take the commitment gambling on upside and figure out where he lands later on.

Syracuse has a history of turning big safeties into line backers. Dyshawn Davis, Keith Bullock and Kyle Whitner(sp?) jump to my mind.

Willy Love him?

I think we're being super selective over the next couple of months. We have 17 cruits and not sure how much room

That could very well be.

I assume that the coaching staff will also be looking to flip a few guys, and maintain a bunch of scholarships open for the transfer portal in December.

travel roster only list 6 seniors. I assume will lose some others by attrition (marburg) just not sure how you plan for that when making offers over the next couple of months.

Well, there's bound to be some outbound attrition [portal, injuries, etc.] -- so a few scholarships might open up. We might also have a recruit or two get poached late in the game.

And you have to be ready to go as the season winds down, and players enter the portal. So I think at this point, you just pay close attention to what's transpiring, and act swiftly when the time comes.

The numbers always work themselves out in the end.

The numbers have to work themselves out. ;-)

I think minus seniors and walkons we're right around 78 kids (7 openings) and we have 17 commitments. It's surely going to be an interesting off season.

Before the edit the post had a strongly negative tone about Willy having not decided yet.

 

[rackman18]

I assume if someone like bnoro dislikes this it means he ain’t coming here?

No, I deleted a couple things off original post. Didn't want any hissy fits .

Going to have to be a lot of attrition this offseason. With 78 scholarship players with remaining eligibility and 17 commits, that's 10 over the limit of 85. And we are still recruiting for 24.

Some odd names on that list [not calling you out, just making the observation]. Why would Bass, Branham, Gordon, or Jeffery leave?

Im thinking of some kids who may go and try and play closer to home, or just some random offs that always seem to happen

Jeremiah Wilson is a true Sophomore-He's not even eligible for the draft. Stefon Thompson isn't even starting.

Thinking the same thing. Bass is a true freshman from Mass that his got in a couple of games.
Not Folk, Bassett Nolton and Greenwood are possibilities. Do not see Alford leaving.

 

[cusefan88]

Putting on lists of guys you think will transfer after three games I think is poor form with friends/family reading message boards. Worth discussing after a full-season maybe but right now...eh put that back in the draft folder.

 

[OrangInNova]

This is a great offer.

 

[kcsu]

Stefon Thompson might need another year here.

he will for sure he looks like hes 70%

Do we know why this is taking so long. Are we in good shape for him.

The last update that was publicly released was on his most recently planned commitment day, apparently if he went ahead with a commitment that day it was going to be Rutgers, but since he pushed it back obviously he wasn’t totally sold on them. And it was said he wanted to continue to build a relationship with Coach Fisher, so all of those things considered we were in a very good spot a couple months ago.

 

[cuseallday]

Last bit I saw was a 247S article from not too long ago that said he was focused on SU and UMD.
