Very nice get, very very nice. AS I just said, these are a few of the battles we need to start winning. We just need him to qualify now

Sweeeet! This kid could be our starting RB next season. Kid looks like a very nice pickup.

That's a big get for Marrone and Co. Happy to have one heck of an athlete coming to the 'Cuse.

Very doubtful if Gulley/Smith are healthy. I'd rather redshirt.

That is true. Plus AAM. I just watch this kids tape (I know its just a highlight video) but he has some serious moves and looks like the real deal. Plus, we need all the playmakers we can get out there on O.

 

[JackBauer44]

AWESOME. Pumped about this one. He is going to be special...I have a feeling, and I'm rarely wrong.

Side note: GM committing moves us in to the top 50 of the Scout recruiting rankings.

 

[Whitey23]

Listed at 6' 190. What do people think his target weight is? 205? 210?

Meh. I've seen nothing from the returning backs to think this kid won't have a shot at serious playing time. Doubtful we are at the point of luxury where we can sit such talent.

Not me. I'm a lot higher on PTG than Smith, but I don't believe that either should be any difficulty to beat out if Morris is an elite talent.

Heck, I think MacFarlane might even be in play to start at running back.

Next season the offense needs guys to make an impact. If our youngest players can do it, so be it.

 

[Toga]

Gonna be a great player.

Probably around there. 200ish.

Oh god. I just watched the first 13 seconds of his highlight and I'm already in love. That was ridiculous and it's not like he's playing upstate NY talent - not a knock against those of you with kids playing in upstate NY.

Morr-is better!

The best thing about him is that he looks better on turf than on grass, looks twice as fast.

 

[Rocco]

This is a huge get. There were some rumblings about this last night. Glad it's announced.

 

[JrodCuse]

Man. Just watched his tape again. The kid just glides. Its such a strange running style. I can't even think of anyone currently who runs that way. MAYBE Lesean Mccoy? Now I'm not saying hes a NFL caliber RB stud, but this kid just moves so effortlessly.

 

[Whitey23]

Who was a big influence on his recruitment?

 

[Faegan]

It is going to be an interesting offseason for the RBs. Jerome, PTG, Adonis, McFarlane and Morris. Who can show up in August in tip-top shape with their head firmly out of their posterior? It would be nice if the veteran 3 can put it together so at least one of the commits can RS.

i wouldn't be suprosed if gulley never makes it back...

GREAT NEWS ON MORRIS! now the lynch thing makes sense, i was beginning to wonder why we stopped pursuing him ,even as he continues to get other offers. i guess they like morris better.

 

[OrangeCrush22]

He really needs a promotion. More money, at least. We need to keep him here.

 

[xc84]

We like RBs named Morris. But this kid is a lot bigger than Lil' Joe.

Did you watch the Pitt game? Jerome showed a lot when he was given more carries and got in a rhythm. Rome can be very good for us. PTG had flashes this year on long runs, and just got two freak injuries. I think both could be over 500 easily next year.
