Class of 2015 DE Brandon Ginnetti (CT) TO URI

[OrangeAl]

Wow, this kid has made a long journey to get his offer restored - and now what? Syracuse.com article says he hasn't heard from SU's new staff and he was going to be a January enrollee.

Do we know if he signed his paperwork for January enrollment? If he did the school can not back out of it.

DE? Thoughts?

His designated position but Dino may not agree enough to keep him.

I've never understood this business about not reaching out to a kid. I think at the very least you can say, hi bud, we don't think it's going to work out. What's that, a 10 minute conversation at most? It's uncomfortable but not completely unexpected with a coaching change.

 

[DMDMD]

Feel bad for this kid, he's been led on for like a year and a half. Hope he lands somewhere where he'll play right away.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

I'll be honest. I kind of forgot about this kid. I had assumed he, or the staff had already moved on. I can't say as this comes as a surprise at all, other than that it took this long. Good luck to him wherever he lands.

He wasn't led on. He had a bad foot injury that caused him not to play for a year and then his doctors didn't release him to play right away. The old staff told him they would have to see him play last season before honoring his commitment. After he proved he was still able to play his commitment was honored by the old staff. Unfortunately the new staff doesn't think he fits their system.

I don't mean that he was led on in an intentional fashion, only that I feel bad that he was a victim of a series of poor circumstances. It seems his recruitment has been "maybe you can come, maybe you can come, maybe you can come, sorry."

I think the only bad circumstance to befall him was a bad injury. He is lucky it wasn't a career ending one. He still has an opportunity to be recruited elsewhere and earn a free college education.

I agree, I feel for the kid and really hope he finds a scholarship somewhere.

They better get some alternatives who do fit their system because we are really thin at DE, period.

Agreed we need DE help ASAP but I don't think Ginnetti was the solution there

 

[cuseguy]

The problem is the DEs we're bringing in and are recruiting probably won't be able to contribute this year because they're undersized.

Fully developed DEs with speed and skills are pretty coveted.

 

[PhatOrange]

you guys think a true freshman is going to come in and help right away? he'd have to be a pretty special player, ginneti wasnt that kid.

A true frosh coming off a major injury who is a tweener.

Halloway is at least a year away from playing.

I wish Brandon well and hope he lands a scholarship somewhere.

 

[PhatOrange]

well we'll be sorry if he impacts at BC but i dont think he moves the needle.

 

[VirginiaOrange]

He was supposed to be a big time baseball pitcher so he has that going for him too.

 

[tep624]

If I had to guess, I would bet his future at SU had he come here would have been at DT and he would need to put on a lot of weight to 2 that. Probably 2 years minimum before he saw the field in a meaningful capacity.
