More to come...

I agree very cloak and dagger. Maybe they wanted to float a walk on spot and he balked so they pulled away?

You are probably right they went after the preferred walk on offer and it didn't go anywhere. The measurables are hard to look away from but with little room and little experience I can understand the approach.

Preferred walk on is a tough road at a private university that costs so much. An advantage large state schools have over us if not for talent but depth and scout team capability.

Is there any word where the coaches are heading this week? Obviously downstate, but otherwise..?

They passed on DSM.

and DSM is whom?

DSM is that 6'7 receiver from ASA I guess they didn't offer, his hudl highlights looked pretty legit to me...

Yep. There was someone else after all.

6'-6"/7" with 4.4 speed that's an offer as an ATH even if he is a project. If he has stone hands at WR you could switch him to CB turn him into a shutdown corner with that much size, speed and (not to give you flashbacks of basketball broadcasts) LENGTH and WINGSPAN. . Many teams in the ACC have one tall receiver that will present a challenge very few have two, you put a 6'6" guy on their 6'5" WR it totally eliminates his jump ball advantage which many of those tall receivers and their associated QB's rely on against a pressure defense like ours. Special teams off the edge to block field goals and punts perhaps? If he turns out to be a reliable WR at that size even better.

4.4 straight line speed doesn't always translate to coverage skills. CB's have to be fast back peddling, lower their center of balance, open their hips and explode out of breaks. 6'6 guys usually stride or glide as they run, are rigid through the hips and will be on their heals and off balance going backwards at which point the WR would cut once and be gone. For CB's the 3 cone drill, 20 yard shuttle, 10 yard splits, 20 yard splits and vertical are much more important than 40 times. Pretty much, if you're a defender and having to run 40 yards on a given play something has went terribly wrong.

looking at 3 Iowa Western guys. 2 lineman and Davis. Looks like we are going to go after JC's pretty hard again.

 

[CuseLegacy]

I just remembered that Davis and Herron both played at Avon HS. Herron was committed to Louisville. Definitely read way too many Charles Davis tweets last year. So who is the other lineman?

Tariq Cole - 6'6" 375 lb OL/DT from Lido Beach, NY (Long Beach HS). Arguably the biggest kid (SU football players included) on the turf post-game. No small task given that Wayne Williams was also there. Another gentle giant who seemed to be more "just taking it all in." He seemed to be there with his grandmother.

Committed to Rutgers. Temple only other offer.

Seems like quite the reach/project for them.

eh, no more then McGloster was for us i'm guessing.

 

[crales44]

Difference was McGloster was recruited four months AFTER signing day, not four months prior to it.
