Message: [QUOTE="SUDadx2, post: 4014411, member: 8174"] I hope Syracuse doesn't mess this up. Sean Tucker is special, but he has only played in 16 games. And although he's on track to accomplish some great things and be one of the most accomplished running backs in Syracuse history, he hasn't done that yet. I suspect this is what Wildhack meant when he said it was too early for this decision. The athletic department has already spoken to the four principal families (Brown, Davis, Little and Konrad) so I have to believe Tucker will be given the opportunity to wear 44 after the season is completed. You don't reach out and initiate "powerful conversations" with those families unless you're giving serious consideration to assigning 44 to someone. The conversations have started, the ground work is being laid, now its up to Tucker to finish this season with strong numbers. By the time the Orange come home to play Pitt on Thanksgiving weekend Tucker could very likely be the all-time leader at Syracuse in r[I]ushing yards gained in a season[/I] (1372) and the [I]number of 100 yard games in a season [/I](7). Tucker would need to average 107 yards a game and have two 100 yard games over the next four games to accomplish this. All very possible. What does the number 44 signify? Greatness? A great season or a great career?
