He is a stud. Not sure if he has the frame to be a DE. But he can definitely play OLB and be a edge rusher.

 

[memcorsu]

"Yes please" with a side of "some more of that"!!!!

The first play on the tape where he ran a kid down from all the way across the field was all I needed to see.

Agree there !

Good looking athlete right there. I hope SU stay's on this one hard.

 

[PhatOrange]

this is the most quality visitors to Syracuse i can remember since probably the 90s when they used to do a NIKE camp at the dome.

 

[anomander]

would love to get this kid. Sykes, Franklin, and Moskal were the top 3 I wanted, now all a sudden we look in great shape with them all. Still think we may be on the outside looking in for Sykes, but getting him on campus can change that. Plus throw in Cabinda this can turn into a great cycle at LB.

Honestly I don't know why a linebacker would not want to play in this system. You get to blitz a ton and make plays. What is not to like?

They should show tapes of Doug Hogue against Rutgers to every linebacker they are recruiting.

No one's ever going to hire me to evaluate football players, but he looks really quick to me, especially for a guy who's listed at 6' 1", 219 lbs.

 

[texascpa]

Boy, he looks all of 6"1' as well, maybe even taller.

From twitter...2014 3-star Lombard (IL) Montini Catholic OLB Nile Sykes (@Ninth__Cloud) will visit Syracuse on July 12th

 

[tboxCUSE92]

THAT is a prospect... Looks like he plays with a mean streak to boot! Would be a great compliment to Franklin..

 

[money3189]

I think Sykes is the best overall LB prospect we have a chance to get. He plays the edge incredible hard and fast. Plus he's a two fer. He can fill roster needs at OLB or he can bulk up a little and be a speed rush DE like Freeney. I really like him. The addition of him along with Zaire will be lethal. Moskal or Cabinda in the middle. Parris Bennet or one of those Florida/Georgia LB's as plan B. Think this will be a great LB class for Cuse. And maybe we can get back to the days of Keith Bullock, Clifton Smith Morlon Greenwood.

Hey Money, appreciate your perspective very much. I see he is visiting, but the kid is smack dab in B10 country... Can we really pull him out?

With him visiting and the staff of recruitors we have now. I think so. We are creating a buzz in that region because of the many coaches who worked that area before. This kid reminds me of Malik Brown. I think Sykes is better though

I like kids that play angry... this kid looks like he does just that!

I hope he is still visiting. Would love to get in with CORE6. Sykes and Moskal would be a great start. I know Urban Meyer has been setting up a nice pipleline, but whatever you do, don't do what Muschamp did

Disappointed with our #Florida visit yesterday. 18 hour trip and the head coach only showed love to one of our guys. Won't be back again

 

[retro44]

I-90 runs west from Chicago straight to Syracuse. I did it in 10:15 minutes once and might do it again. Easy drive and when I hit South Bend I usually stop to relieve myself on the side of the road

 

[texascpa]

I see Sykes was bombarded with some SU love the last 12 hours.
