Class of 2023 DE Jalil Smith (NY) COMMITTED / SIGNED TO SYRACUSE (6/24/22)

[GeauxSU]

This decision = respected

I have Jalil as the 13th best player in the state. He is very raw and needs some work in the weight room, but he is a really good athlete with a big frame who someday may grow into a DT. It is probably going to take him a couple of years to make an impact but if he works hard, he should be a two year starter for Syracuse.

Lincoln is one of the top football programs in the state. We have tried to get a few guys from here and missed. Good to get one.

Interesting high school. It has produced 4 Nobel Prize laureates, as well as people like Marv Albert (of SU) Neil Sedaka. Neil Diamond, John Forsythe, Louis Gossett Jr, Harvey Keitel, Buddy Rich, Arthur Miller and Lee Mazzilli.

Welcome to Syracuse Jalil.

I don't see it...
plays high
needs to work on his strength and quickness...
looks like a TE learning to play DE.

Looks like a baby deer trying to play football. Looks like a long term project but seems to have some good ingredients to build upon.

Can't teach that size and athleticism. Staff probably only had to say "Chandler Jones" and he was on board

Someone tell orange fizz that SU can’t recruit NYS

First reasonably deep NYS class in sometime. Glad the staff is cashing in

I'm in a New York state of mind!

Maybe you should look at the film again. Perhaps you may have another opinion? Baby deer?

 

[Orijinal]

Haha! Please keep posting this with every new commit. Solid gold

Empire State Strong, I can feel the pride returning.

I assume Tony White is a difference maker here.

Love the start to 23 class. Great QB, and grabbing New York’s elite talent and keeping them home. Im sick of seeing NYS athletes go elsewhere and produce. Great start to this class and I can’t wait to see what we do this season to help improve the perception of cuse Fball and get even more great recruits

I love the emphasis on our primary recruiting areas. Really like this staff and so hopeful that Dino can pull off a good season and keep this group together

 

[Orijinal]

This would be one reason why we need to make every reasonable excuse to keep this staff beyond this season. I think these coaches have finally found something or are starting to get it after 6 years on the job.

Maybe it takes that long to learn how to operate and find success up here. I don't know. But I'm super pumped for the momentum we seem to have right now
