Mikel Jones

[cusefan88]

Mikel is my favorite player on the team. One of my favorite players ever for that matter. He has that Dungey like leadership and I love that for a defender, particularly a MLB. I expect another huge season from him. Very happy he is back! Let's hope Garrett is next.

I don't know if it counts for much but Garrett's dad is pretty vocal on social media and seems to love syracuse, loves dino, and hasn't hinted that GW is leaving. Seems like they are heads down training for next season. Just my guess but the vibe to me says he's staying. Hope i'm right.

That video of Garrett last year - he came off as a grinder and just an awesome kid.

I hope you’re right too. The more All-ACC caliber starters we have the better.

From your lips to Gods ears.

IF Garrett had stayed healthy and played to his potential this past season, then - he gone.

But he didn’t, and it just seems like he’ll want to go out on a high note, to maximize his chances at the next level.

Due to injury, he really struggled a lot this past season, so there’s not a lot of great film or stats to wow NFL scouts right now.
He can change that in a BIG way with a solid season next year.

They have one month left. It will depend on what information they receive about potential draft position.

He was only a 3rd year player and I think could greatly benefit from a 4th. But what do I know, luckily I don't have to make tough decisions like this.

If GW leaves now he won’t get drafted and I don’t think he would be signed as a UDFA.

He has too much tape of him with meh coverage at best.

GW can be a good player, I know he was injured but he has to play a lot better than he did this last season to get himself a spot on a 53 man roster

No doubt. It's great news. Not only because Jones is the heart of the defense, but also because I think it is a reflection of some of the key guys believing in the direction of the program and in Dino. That was not the case after the Pitt loss...

Right!

 

[AZOrange]

This is great news ! I still think he can be a pro in the Pat Willis style mold. I also want to see if he can get more armbands on next year!

You know what I find interesting is there are so many trolls on this site now and they all predict doom and gloom and mass exodus etc etc. and other than Taj Harris I can’t think of a defection that amounts to a hill of beans but when guys like Jones and Tucker stick it’s amazing it’s i- ng crickets. Total nonsense. Joke.

This forum is a joke now.

Man I hope you're right! Pair him and Duce in the secondary and we've really got something. I love that we signed Oliver at safety, but I think the rest of that group leaves a bit to be desires right now. Garrett coming back would be monstrous!

He’s too small.

Absolutely. Big mistake if he tries the NFL.
