I like the fact that we brought in two juco D lineman who have 3 years to play 3. I think Berry contributes his first year though.

Although it is nice to have some depth.

Nose Tackle? I bet he is closer to 6' than 6'2" just going by pictures of him with teammates.

If he takes to the weights...might be another Nick Romeo.

Nick was a freak. Florida state championship in weight lifting two times. 6'0 - 6'1 300 pounds of pure strength and high intelligence on and off field. Nick was a dedicated lifter for most of his youth. I can hope this kid has the same success but Nicks was a work of persistence and effort over time

Steve Clark insurance?

Steve Clark insurance?

I don't think bcubs9497 has any eligibility left.

Have no idea on the kid but you can't teach size of any kind. Lot of body change going from 220 to 290. I like a lot!

Regardless, even if he doesn't make 1st team D (don't get me wrong I hope he does), quality depth positions are all too critical from practice squads to special teams. When first & second team OLs line up against a 2nd team defense, you want to practice against a 290 DT instead of a 220 DE.

Welcome to SU Mr Grosvenor!

Steve Clark insurance?

I think he's dline insurance period. We're Woefully thin there. Should be 4 deep at each spot.

I see this guy as a depth/development guy year 1
Year 2 solid rotation guy
Year 3 possible starter/solid rotation
This staff is not going to waste three years on a "body"

I don't think bcubs9497 has any eligibility left.

Not to mention that I can't bench or squat worth a damn since rupturing two disks.

That makes the DT group:

Slayton
Clark
Samuels
Williams
Ruff
Grosvenor
Harper (maybe also a move to make sure they can RS him for sure?)

All but 2 are 3 tech size. Would like to see one or two more 310+ pound kids on the roster.

You can see he still has some LB in him. Moves well for a big man. I think this is a great addition

Exactly my thoughts

 

[blizz]

Agree with him as a developmental prospect. Solid foundation to work with on this kid. Alot of flaws on film, poor pad level in the hole and he gets caught unaware by down blocks and cross blocks, has a tendency to get wrong-armed and it looks to me its from being overly focused on the ball...kid is raw. Very good lateral agility and flashes some good closing ability and violent hands. Clearly has the upper-body strength to get off blocks and control space on the inside at this level. Will be a good indication of how good coach Reynolds is. I think this is a solid get.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

As a rule I have no expectations for JUCOs. But, his name is Shaquille and he has three years of eligibility, so this player is a little more interesting.

 

[O-pulse]

Shaquille, Welcome to the Syracuse Football family. Go Orange!

Any film that isn't Hudl?

Project and depth kid, for now.
