With Syracuse (2-4, 0-2) halfway through its season and on a four-game skid, Daily Orange beat writers Phil D’Abbraccio, Jesse Dougherty and Jacob Klinger look back at the first six games and ahead to the final stretch.

First, here is how they graded each position, as well as the entire team. Total grades for positions and the team were averaged out from each writers’ marks.

Evan Adams, Best OL in Connecticut Class of 2015

Connecticut Emerges as Recruiting Spot for Syracuse (DO; Schneidman)

Evan Adams said it was an off chance he got any out-of-state offers.

The Class of 2015 Syracuse verbal commit from Norwalk (Connecticut) High School acknowledges that Connecticut isn’t frequented by the scouts of top-tier programs. The past 11 years have only seen three recruits from the state come to Syracuse, according to At their request, this network is being blocked from this site..

The Orange’s Class of 2015, though, features the same number of Connecticut verbal commits as Syracuse has reeled in during that span. Adams, a three-star offensive lineman, joins three-star defensive end Brandon Ginnetti and two-star defensive tackle Anthony Giudice in a group indicating a potential new target area for SU football recruiting.

SU assistant coaches (non-coordinators) won't be available for media again today. Looks like a lot of Lester and Bullough from here on out.

Former Syracuse cornerback Keon Lyn is working out for the New York Giants today. NYG already has the most SU products (4) in the NFL.

Shafer discusses Syracuse’s adjustments in practice due to injuries

By Jacob KlingerAsst. Sports Editor

Syracuse head coach Scott Shafer said he has to adjust the team’s practices due to the number of injuries on the team during his Tuesday teleconference.
For players set to get more time, Shafer is emphasizing repetition of the plays and schemes they may need to run when the Orange (2-4, 0-2 Atlantic Coast) takes on Wake Forest (2-4, 0-2) on Saturday at noon. He’s also working on not running certain plays.
The players who were all out for SU’s 38-20 loss to then-No. 1 Florida State on Saturday were: sophomore linebacker Luke Arciniega, junior wide receiver Alvin Cornelius, senior nose tackle Eric Crume, sophomore wide receiver Brisly Estime, senior offensive tackle Ivan Foy, junior quarterback Terrel Hunt, senior receiver Jeremiah Kobena, sophomore tight end Kendall Moore, junior cornerback Wayne Morgan, junior receiver Ashton Broyld and freshman free safety Rodney Williams.
“We’ve tried to manage it as well as we can,” Shafer said. “The adjustments have probably been more so in what type of plays we want to stay away from and what type of plays we have to get the next player in in any of those particular positions.”
He also said he’ll be rotating players on both sides of the line and in the pass game against different fronts and coverages.
“We try to accentuate the pieces and parts of the game plan to those new kids and make sure that they’re getting the feel for running those plays against the different looks, whether it be up front with the linemen on either side or on the other side of things in the passing game,” Shafer said. “So it’s more adjusting repetition and scheme as much as anything.”

Scott Shafer is about to begin his weekly teleconference. Will provide updates.

Stephen Bailey@Stephen_Bailey1 · 4h4 hours ago
Shafer: QB Austin Wilson has an upper-body injury. Can't practice today. Staff is taking it day-by-day with Wilson this week.

Stephen Bailey@Stephen_Bailey1 · 4h4 hours ago
Shafer said the staff isn't worried about overworking AJ Long. The freshman QB was limited late in preseason camp due to a sore shoulder.

Stephen Bailey@Stephen_Bailey1 · 4h4 hours ago
Shafer said Long and Wilson split reps last week. This week Long will get "dominant" amount of reps with the first team.

Stephen Bailey@Stephen_Bailey1 · 4h4 hours ago
Shafer thinks AJ Long's confidence and "force" can be contagious for the offense.

Stephen Bailey@Stephen_Bailey1 · 4h4 hours ago
Shafer mentions the offense being limited in practice due to injuries.

Stephen Bailey@Stephen_Bailey1 · 4h4 hours ago
Shafer said he watched Ishmael bring cones out to the field yesterday afternoon on an off-day. Said he and Long share a "gym-rat" mentality.

Stephen Bailey@Stephen_Bailey1 · 3h3 hours ago
Asked Shafer about C John Miller and WR Ben Lewis, who were injured against FSU. Said neither has been ruled out for Wake.

Stephen Bailey@Stephen_Bailey1 · 3h3 hours ago
Shafer said he hopes to get "a handful" of players back from the "laundry list" of injuries for Wake Forest.


Stephen Bailey@Stephen_Bailey1 · 3h3 hours ago
Shafer said the decision to move Omari Palmer to RT after Ivan Foy's injury was in an effort to put the five best OL on the field.

Stephen Bailey@Stephen_Bailey1 · 3h3 hours ago
That's it for Shafer today. Expect another round of updates from post-practice interviews tonight.

AJ Long said Steve Ishmael told him he'd end up at SU the day after the QB committed. Ishmael just wanted to do official visits anyway @ ...

As a kid AJ Long didn't talk to his cousin Jarrod West about playing D-I football together b/c he didn't think he was tall enough @dosports

Jacob Klinger@Jacob_Klinger_ · 40m40 minutes ago
"I was 5'3, I was like 'Eh, this is not good.'" -Long, circa 7th grade @dosports

Jacob Klinger@Jacob_Klinger_ · 39m39 minutes ago
AJ Long has a high-pitched cackle, hence the "Joker" nickname @dosports
 
Phil D'Abbraccio@PhilDAbb · 45m45 minutes ago
D-coordinator Chuck Bullough referred injury questions to Scott Shafer but based on what he's heard, Eric Crume should be good to go vs. WF.

Phil D'Abbraccio@PhilDAbb · 33m33 minutes ago
Tim Lester says Austin Wilson's playing time on Saturday, if healthy, depends on how much practice time he gets this week.
