I DON'T THINK ZAIDENS GOING TO STANFORD WITH THE REC YDS AND 40 TIME HE HAS IS EARTH SHAKING.
WE HAVE A GOOD RECEIVER ROOM NOW. ALSO, HE IS A FRESHMAN IT TAKES TIME FOR ANY RECEIVER TO GEL WITH ANY QB, LEARN THE PLAY BOOK, PRACTICE W THE QB, PRACTICE RUNNING ROUTES - ALL OF THAT TAKES TIME. I GIVE HIM A YEAR ON THE BENCH BEFORE HE EVEN SNIFFS THE FIELD. HE IS NOT THE END ALL BE ALL RECEIVER FLIPPING. HE CHANGED HIS MIND, I WISH HIM LUCK.

You don't have to go sour grapes on the kid's outlook because he is going elsewhere.

Surprised he didn’t tweet that he was committing to the University of Stanford.

It had been stated he was being recruited as a safety/LB, not a receiver.

i appreciate your breakdowns but i don’t think i’ve seen one offer that is labeled bad, but then this kid who decided to go to Stanford gets the “no big deal”. Just my opinion but i’d rather respect an honest breakdown than just a pumping up of all Syracuse offers.

Crazy think flipping to Stanford is flipping to another ACC school.
