Class of 2024 DE Caden Brown (NY) COMMITTED / SIGNED NLI TO SYRACUSE (12/17/23)

[Corpi33]

We need to start landing these legacy recruits that we seem to be missing out on...Maybe Coach Fran can turn these types of situations around. His Dad was one of the best special teams players that ever played on the hill. Go get em Coach Fran!!

 

[CbusCuse]

Sounding good here at the moment. Maybe our first legacy since...? Well besides Wholabaugh as he was a portal add.

Crazy that Brown hasn't even recruited him yet wearing a Syracuse hat and the kid wants to take an official visit here.

side bar topic - but this is one area that without HCFB here working and putting together support staff and organizing official visits we're behind the 8 ball. There are 3 OV weekends left before signing day and this weekend is typically one of them. I'd expect next weekend and the following weekend to be huge.

Agree...maybe seize the moment and have a setup at SU and Georgia where Brown can face time with recruits this weekend. Or, he shows up late Saturday night or Sunday.

agree, time is running out. Hoping he can get here fast and get the next few weeks set up.

While I understand there are coaches and staff working I doubt there are any OV's this weekend unless it's formerly committed kids and Brown would have to sign off on the scholarships; for any kid visiting. I don't care what the message was before to verbally committed there is no way a new HC would be bound by that; or should be.

Yep...Lots of moving parts to this.

 

[TheHaze315]

Fran should be on the phone with him today. By all accounts sounds like he’s ours to lose.

 

[CuseLegacy]

Almost sounds like he thinks it's a done deal.

 

[BANYC]

HCFB may be limited as to what he can do for SU until his contract ends or Georgia releases him from his Georgia duties.

Are there any lawyers on the board who may have some insight or opinions?

He has committed to coaching UGA in the SEC Championship game this weekend.
After that he is having a presser on Monday 12/4 to introduce himself as the new HC at Syracuse.

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

Dennis Thomas is still on staff. He handles a lot of recruiting duties even when there is a full on field staff.

I was trying to explain how Coach Brown would impact our recruiting. This is a little preview.

Erasmaus Hall is probably the best football program in the state. They have to have produced more P5 prospects than anyone else over the past decade or so.

We have really struggled to even get kids to visit who go there.

I think we will do a lot better in places like this in the coming years. Fran is someone recruits from places like this can really relate to.

There aren't a lot of head coaches from the inner city out there.

 

[Cuse12]

Wow incredible. Hasn’t even touched ground in cuse yet/hasn’t even (presumably) spoke to Caden and Cadens father is literally saying he is going to cuse.

 

[Cuse12]

Side note: when is the last time we have snagged a NY recruit this highly rated? Trill?

Qadir White in the class of 2018, I believe.

 

[CuseLegacy]

Contact period starts tomorrow, 12/1. Coaches can have contact recruits in person on and off campus.
Contact period is Dec. 1 – 16, 2023

Fran is going to have to be Double Duty Brown until the SEC game is over.

 

[CuseMan4]

Pretty good start for Fran in recruiting would be to land Caden, and Torrence from the high school ranks and Norman from the portal. Tbh all very doable and tbh I think will be done pretty quickly. I also wanna see him go after the linebacker from UB. That kid is a stud

Noise is loud for tri-state kids just from the hiring announcement, but I hope existing players also feel the recruiting bump and gets them feeling the need to fight for their spot a little more.

 

[qdawgg]

Rutgers don’t want him…..

[Lenox]

The Fran Brown effect has already begun

10-3 here we come

I tried to do the same but proceeded to get downvoted lol

Completely agree with you though,
