Mikel was a great representative of Syracuse and see him having a similar career that Zaire has had, but hopefully he gets the opportunity just a bit sooner.

On another note I have been very surprised just how many players from all the previous bowls have chosen to play in their bowl game and then we make a bowl game for the first time in 5 years and all our draft eligible guys opt out.

Agree on Mikel. I got to know him a bit when he was a freshman. Outstanding student and person. His excellent upbringing was obvious from the 1st day I met him.

Let's keep in mind, I have not seen an official announcement that he would not take the field in the Bowl game - if it out there I missed it.

If he is really needed and is able, I have no doubt he will step up.

It was posted Dec 27 probably before he declared for the NFL and he didn't specifically say he wasn't playing in his announcement. But I would go with Matt Park and assume he isn't playing

Darn.

I'd love to see him and his comrades shut down

Mohamed Ibrahim !!​

 
He has been great here in every possible way, but he does not look nearly big enough to play LB in the league. Hope he finds a home.

I don’t blame them for not wanting to play on that field. Warm weather bowl and it could’ve been different

You realize his ankle is injured and he wasn’t cleared. But keep taking shots at him.
 
Enjoyed watching this man in Orange. Go after it Mikel and good luck with your NFL dream, can't wait to see you on Sundays!

Ideal person/player/student athlete/university represent and best I can think of in a while. He believed in cuse and always wore orange. Congrats. I think he could be another Zaire for sure

He’s a great kid but correct me
If I’m wrong he didn’t play yesterday correct?

who wasnt cleared? Mikel? how is this the first i am hearing of it being medical??? this is so bizarre.

everyone has been assuming it was an opt out. and its a tarnish if that is the case. so why wouldnt they be screaming medical to avoid that obvious odd tarnish? not 1 mention of an injury in any article? or on this thread?

He was hurt at the end of the season and missed a decent amount of time. The question was whether he would be healthy for the bowl game. No doubt he wanted to play.

He left the Wake game early and didn't play against BC.

He was still in a walking boot a few days ago.

What others have already said.

of course he missed that game, but there was zero talk of the injury in the weeks leading up to the bowl.

all of a sudden he just declared for the NFL without saying if he was playing or not. read this entire thread.

So because people werent constantly talking about it in the thread it means he was healthy enough to play?
