Legacy recruiting

[jekelish]

Since Syracuse is recruiting Jack Wohlabaugh, it got me thinking about legacy recruiting in general. How many sons of former players have we gone after in the past 10-15 years or so? The last 20? Gronkowski and Joey Ehrmann are the two the spring to mind.

Are there any others we've missed out on? Any we've landed that I'm just not thinking of?

Well, recently there was Tebucky Jones, Jr. and David Holmes son.

Thanks! Forgot all about Corey Holmes. That was good enough for my purposes: http://.com/syracuse-hoping-to-change-luck-with-legacy-recruiting/

We missed on Andrew Sweat because of the GRob era. That kid was a great LB till concussions ended his college career.

We haven't done a great job getting legacy recruits we get Wohlabaugh his dad was a fine C for my Pats in the NFL after SU.

The last one I remember SU getting was Ernie Davis Brown in the early 90's, though I'm hoping that there were others after him.

I've been racking my brain and can't think of anyone. I mean, not counting Macky MacPherson since he was legacy via coaching, not playing.

Troy Green but I don't think you're going for walk-ons.

Some others...

Duke Preston (Ray)
Ryan Mitch (Bob)
Connor Mitch (Bob)
Mark Spinney (Steve)
Richard Lapham (Dave)
Joey Ehrmann (Joe)

Don't forget Jack Brotzki, son of Bob. Hans Wiederkehr has a kid who is going to be a D1 recruit. Byron Abraham has a good one and Qadry Ismail has a couple of promising kids playing HS ball early.

Qadry's wife is also a Syracuse alum- played basketball. So if those kids turn out to be good, we really should have the inside track.

Come on, Donovan McNabb, Jr.! And Devin McNabb!

I have a list of kids that came in as some kind of legacy that i have been keeping up to date. we have done a better job of getting brothers to come over the years than kids

Is Scoop still dating Jordan's daughter? That could pay off for us in hoops big time in about 20 years!

Isn't Floyd's grandson on the horizon?

I'm reasonably sure that we didn't offer Tebucky's son. There might have been some off-issues as well.

I can't think of any we have landed, but Jack Wohlabaugh would be a hell of a start.
