Class of 2019 DE Adisa Isaac (NY) Committed to Penn St

[GoSU96]

This is Tim Green, Rob Konrad territory.

 

[PhatOrange]

We don't get him until we get him. That's not negative or positive thinking, that's just reality thinking.

Has nothing to do with landing him. It’s a big win to first get the OV when the mentality was not a chance. But this also extends to the 2 LBs and keeping Nunn.

Reality thinking or about having some faith?

 

[PhatOrange]

I have a feeling Jonathan may be a remembered name on the hill when alls said and done. The raw talent’s incredible

Okuchukwu was an UA game participant last year to. First one we ever had I think no?

 

[rackman18]

His final visit has gotta be a big deal. Whats the date? I hope theres a solid bball game

Put him up on that billboard on Rt. 81 that use to have I believe Kevin Mitchell on it and drive him by it on the way to the Dome.

 

[orangepassion]

Getting him would be huge both for his talent and for perception in the NY area. If we can start landing a couple like him every class, sky is the limit.

 

[Nick44]

Ugh... we do this every year to ourselves! Ishaq, Thomas Holley, Ogundeko, Nduka Onyeali. The two common denominators being they played the same position and they all had terrible college careers.

I swear I thought Onyeali would be Freeney.

 

[General Joe]

I always hoped that the coaches stayed on him AND Marcus Stripling. Come to Syracuse and you will be our best recruit since... or he can go to Penn ST and just be one of the recruits. Same thing for Stripling who is waiting for TXAM to "find a Scholarship for him" or go to Alabama or OK and sit on bench for 3 years. Just come to Syracuse and you will be in rotation alteast year 1. Come on up top!

I feel really good about this. Blisette should visit with him

But we did get White from NYC last year. Hopefully things are changing with the big prospects down there

 

[NJCuse97]

He is coming on an official. No matter how small the chance that is perceived...you give it your best shot and thats what the staff is doing. And thats what are Commits are doing. Oh by the way we are an effin top 20 team and there is no reason why we can’t get this guy. Dare to be different...

Kilt!

So...commit a public recruiting violation to get him.

 

[Nahson]

So...commit a public recruiting violation to get him.

If a private citizen did it, would it still be a violation

Junior Onyeali was a beast his first few years of college. Unfortunately he was a beast off the field and beat up his girlfriend and was thrown out of school.

 

[CuseLegacy]

I think this is really gonna come down to Cuse vs PSU. A&M might take him if they don't get other guys but hes not a priority for them right now. Miami has 3 DE commits already in this class and are favorites for a couple others including a 5 star kid from FL.

Coach Monroe retweeted this last night. I take it as a subliminal message to Adisa about Miami.

 

[CuseLegacy]

Trills' Dad

 

[Digable5]

But do we have room for him?

(Sarcasm)

 

[SUFaninNJ]

I’m just glad that Rutgers decided to back off his recruitment so Cuse could have a chance.

 

[CuseLegacy]

But do we have room for him?

Keller was our first and DeVito also played in the game.

 

[rjs13090]

Yes

Gotta love that. You never know, but winning has given us a real chance at better players. Kids are very savvy. Seeing Andre Cisco helps us huge. I believe Dino will take care of us

Yes can't believe I forgot DeVito...der

The difference being that we already have a pretty solid class with some high quality recruits. Those other years, we really needed those guys you mentioned.

 

[44doubledees]

This one feels different from Ishaq, Ogundeko etc. The turnaround is almost complete and hopefully AI can see that. Rankings are always hit or miss but it always seems like the NY guys are even harder to rank based off weak comp. May be the reason so many highly rated guys did not live up to the rankings in NY. Either way a coup like this helps talent and perception moving forward.

Junior Onyeali was a beast his first few years of college. Unfortunately he was a beast off the field and beat up his girlfriend and was thrown out of school.

I remember when Marrone took a last minute trip to AZ to try and flip him one last time. This board was in a frenzy. Then he ended up playing well as a freshman and shortly thereafter became a scumbag wife beater. Ugh. Didn’t see that ending coming.

Agreed. I think we hoped the others (Ishaq, et al) would, in effect, start an avalanche of good recruiting. Y'know, get one and others will (hopefully) follow. But this...this is a situation where the avalanche has begun, and we are hoping AI is caught up in it (witness his fellow recruits involvement)!
I'd put our chances in the 50/50 range at this point...WAY higher than I would have last week (about 1/100).
It's good optics for us either way, but a win is unfathomably HUGE!

Also goes to show that our dline coaches kinda know what their doing. Both starters are awesome and backups don’t drop of a ton. This kid would put us over the top and set up next year for a windfall. White, Sisco, and Trill are all ny kids. Add this guy and we could be the N.Y. destination.
