Working on defense and rebounding! Sounds promising.

Exactly. Looks like the kid is working for it already and means business. I find all three of these freshmen interviews to have them well spoken and excited for their prospects. Go get em, Mali! Let's get the mini moose onboard, and we're good to go.

Maybe Matt Park is gigantic, but all these guys looked small compared to him.

His head is certainly much bigger than theirs.

Check out this little nugget. Probably the best post here as it has Robert Morris in it:http://syracusefan.com/threads/roselle-catholic-toc-final.47830/#post-581362 :eat popcorn:
Richardson was a soph, Tyler a senior. Together again.

Seems to be sitting closer to the camera and that makes him look bigger.....

The "NEW CUSE" stuff is great, and it's nice to see the new kids on campus working out and getting their academics in order. Unfortunately, the SU Athletics website still lists our Roster from last year. Since this is our online presence for recruits and fans, and we have (currently) 10 schollies to work with, we can't afford to be leisurely about updating it.

Not only that, the "big head" pics next to the videos have players who graduated a few years back at times. CJ Fair, Matt Harris for Lax, Alyssa Manley Lax, etc. Need some active roster players please.

Good point ... I mean, the website is very well done. But it's pretty hard to sell a "New Cuse" concept when your site has old-cuse information.

Nice to see the Re-up for Justin Taylorcole .. nice young man and a class move by the U and SU Athletics to facilitate the ceremony at Melo.
