Class of 2018 LB Juan Wallace Jr (DC/IMG) SIGNED NLI TO SYRACUSE

[Trueblue25]

Things on the Syracuse football recruiting board are a helluva lot better than they are on the basketball 'crootin board.

Come all ye lost souls.


Here, the grass is noticeably greener.

Dino Babers.


That is all.

No, I do think we still want Johnson

 

[bnoro]

How many lb's we taking in this class?

Think Antwuan would take the last spot.

Well, according to you and Jack Bauer, we still have a head turning potential recruit still out there. Still feel that way (I asked hoping the answer is yes).

Tried to throw this in the back of my mind so I wouldn't obsess over it.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I've been pleasantly surprised by how well I feel this staff has recruited on the defensive side of the ball.

Ya know between Wallace and Smith, believing heights and weights on these kids on recruiting sites is like trusting chicks descriptions of athletic, average, or a few extra pounds on a dating site. Nobody knows til ya meet them. Wallace and Smith are both listed at 6 foot to 6 '3" oh well, stay tuned...

Juan was measured at 6' 2.5" 216lbs at The Opening regional a couple weeks ago. I'd trust that measurement.

Anyone know at events such as that, or combines of some kind - if heights are with or without footwear?

Who is the mystery recruit

Who is the mystery recruit

It's you! Congrats.

 

[sdhall01]

It's you! Congrats.

hahahaha awesome . . . seriously though, is there a mystery recruit?

 

[bnoro]

hahahaha awesome . . . seriously though, is there a mystery recruit?

No, there's a couple guys that are close though. I'm hoping the last few days are the start of that annual spring/summer recruiting bump we usually get.

Juan's commitment does nothing but help with this guy by the way. Haven't been given a timetable, but I've been told multiple times that Cuse is in front and a commitment could happen at any time.

My guess, John Morgan or Andrew Chatfield.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

One of these guys.

 

[weedsportwarriors]

My guess is another of the Woodson boys. Come on down Hendrix, Flythe, Salahuddin and Boykin. I think we would be happy to take them all. I would love to land Salahuddin, Flythe and Hendrix. That would be a very impressive haul. I believe they may have all visited together as well.

[Trueblue25]

It's you! Congrats.

I'd like to take this moment to thank my parents, friends and God. It's a blessing to say that I've chosen to take my talents to the University of Syracuse. #OITNF #Domedudes


Edit: aww you took away my derogatory Pitt hashtag, that was to rile up the twitter army!

Really like this pick up. I've coached LB's in the past. It's hard to find guys that come down hill while being patient with reading the blocking scheme. That's not easy to do and I think that's his biggest strength. His team is loaded with talent. I would be happy to get at least 1 of his team mates.

 

[Alsacs]

Dino Bleeping Babers does nothing but give you confidence.

Welcome a board lad.
To quote Carusso

It takes Juan to know Juan.

Impressed with his film too. Seems like an old school classic MLB to me. Slithers through gaps to get to the ball, really agile, looks like he can cover an RB, excellent tackler. Diagnoses plays well. Smart. Already has the size to play at the BCS level and has all the attributes to succeed at MLB at Syracuse. Reminds me a lot of Franklin.

We won Juan! Juanderful!!

This class goes from Juan to Atrilleon and everywhere in between.
