Sorry , I forgot Beesley. I wonder in the end, how many DE/DL will the CUSE take.

Yeah probably wont be a spot for him after today, I just personally like some of the things he showed in his film.

I agree. As much as I like Holloway being from NJ. He was still a developmental player. He has alot of bulking up to do and he needs to refine his tackling technique. I love his raw athletic abilities. ALot of upside with him but we are in a position where we need DE's that can play now.

Usually, I want Syracuse recruiting kids that don't look like they are cut from granite. To me, doughy and wirey types, that have shown to be elite athletes, are what the program needs - guys that can make big jumps once in the strength and condition program as opposed to finished products.

But i agree with the general consensus here. SU is rail thin at DE (kind of a pun) and we just dont have 3-4 years to wait for a contributor at the position. Holloway is a lot like Donnie Simmons. While I am sure he will eventually be big enough, he is appears quite a way off.

We need some to start right away but some of the DE's we bring in are going to RS. I think hes the type of kid you take because of potential and with the long term goal of establishing a connection with his school. The younger football players might remember any bitterness he had with the coaching staff regardless if he says anything to them directly or not. This is now two kids from that school that staff has parted ways with from Camden.

I don't think its official that he has been dropped or that he has decomitted.

I think they are doing a good job getting interest from the strong and weak side ends. Holloway could be a force as early as a sophmore but definitely as a junior if he can add 30 lbs or so.

Ramps?

Everything in Jersey is either an off-ramp, or a toll booth, or a rest area, or one of them jug handles...

So, IS Holloway still a commit, or not?

Haven't seen anything from him yet.

Haven't seen anything from him yet.

Hes no longer listed as commit on scout

 

[CuseLegacy]

Hes no longer listed as commit on scout

I know. I just think we can wait and let him announce his decommitment or flip before changing the status.

Who have we lost that has gone to a comparable or better program?

I was irritated by losing Scott, which I still think was blown by the staff. That said, after the success of this weekend, happy to be proven incorrect...

LMAO... Anyways, Scott got an LSU offer. I don't think the staff did any blowing...

Yep the staff that leverages the blowing is the Louisville staff ... or so I've heard.

Jamal's birthday today. He's retweeting JB and Autry's visit to go see Taurean Thompson. If he's wavering he's putting on a great show.

Talk about class:

"They are going in another direction, especially with the defensive ends that they have committing," Natasha Holloway said. "Just the recruits, period, they are getting, it's awesome. We wish 'Cuse nothing but the best. The fans deserve it!"

You get a beer on me anytime I run into you Ms. Holloway.

The incredible class with which his mother handled the separation makes me very sad he will not be attending Syracuse.

All I can say is, I wish the Holloway family nothing but the best.

Let's make a point of following this kid wherever he ends up.
