Class of 2025 LB Antoine Deslauriers (QC/GA) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (4/26/24)

You can...Hopefully our trainers can get him up here in Jan.

He'll have to work his legs and flexibility

OK, good to hear.

Look forward to seeing his progress.

 

[hungrychuck]

Yes you can. There are tons of agility drills out there. Part of muscular training is to work on ligaments and muscle connective tissue to speed you up.

No normal human is getting to Usain Bolt speed with training, but like lifting weights to get stronger, you can get faster too.

Thanks, appreciate the insight.

Just a question, not meant sarcastically.

I understand you can work on technique.

Can you work on agility and speed?

I think the question(s) is what is he currently doing to work on them and how effective is it compared to what he'll get here. Most (probably all) big time prospects in this era are in some sort of SAQ program. How much upside does he have? We'll find out.

With effort I have improved my time between the couch and the refrigerator.

I thought he really shined on passing downs when he was blitzing. Caused a few early throws. MLB for the Tennessee team was impressive as well. Currently committed to Buffalo.

 

[Niastri]

With effort I have improved my time between the couch and the refrigerator.

That really is an underrated metric.

This is exactly what the 3 cone drill tests for.

It's the 3 can drill

Footwork needs work, eh? He'll get it done. And then carry on the tradition of great SU LB's like Dan Conley, Clifton Smith, and Keith Bulluck.

I see as a backer some kids can just be good enough to make plays even with all the misstepping. Once they get his first 3-5 steps corrected he will be scary. They will also get him a bit lower with the stretching and yoga stuff they do here. Dan used to say that the first three steps are 6 inch power steps while deciphering the play all at once. He taught always down hill and if pass plant and drop to ur zone. Think this kid can be a stud once he learns all this.

yeah but it depends on what they think he needs. Cory Parker used to work on first ten of forty a lot. Said its where u can pick up most time which would be what this kid needs. u can also get in to length of stride and arm drive for more top end speed. This kid reminds me of Rocky. A bit stiff but can easily be fixed.

going against the grain a little bit here, but I thought he struggled to read plays, shed blocks and get to the ball carrier. tackling can improve to. nowhere near his ceiling. All stuff that’s coachable. Raw talent is obvious

Tackling was sloppy a few times, once he gets better technique he will be a monster.

Antoine getting some publicity from a big time youtuber “Deestroying” who’s got 6 million subscribers.

 

[Qbobby]

Dude is YOKED!

 

[CuseLegacy]

 

[Franz69]

Watch the play at 1:40. Oy.

 

[JRHEETER]

I watched one game with this kid

All I needed to watch.

He is the real deal, I’ll be shocked if he’s not playing as true freshman

 

[Libero2]

I’ll be shocked if he’s not top 10 in Feldman freaks list the minute he steps foot on campus.

 

[Cuse4455]

 

[OrangeTarheel]

We better have good lawyers on retainer, this dude is going to literally murder someone with those guns

 

[OR!ON31]

Can't help it, but he looks like Lattimer from the movie The Program. Minus the whole juicing thing.

Just sayin'...

 

[Lukeyloo]

He is terrifyingly jacked

 

[hoopsupstate]

I hope he’s ready to play next year. It won’t be because he’s not big enough
