nolan says Pierce Brewster committed to SU

[phil77]

Hmmmm maybe my count does include Barnewll

 

[syr02esq]

Looks like a guy who can play immediately. Great pickup!

 

[ImperialOrange]

Or perhaps Smallwood? or Owens?

 

[rrlbees]

Looks like the guy is the one to step in for Jones. The true frosh will need a year.

Nolan's got a chart up - 23 including Broyld and MyDavis:

Interesting that Barnwell isn't listed.

 

[OrangeBlood]

I have been told Barnwell will not qualify and may even need JUCO. Reading the tea leaves, It seems to me that Bryan Johnson will not qualify. Which is stupid but we have to be prepared. Totally different looking roster at DE this upcoming year. Hope we can land JPO too.

I love the size of the JUCO guys, gives our OL a better look in practice at what they are likely to see out in the "real world" during the season.

Maybe we'll see Poncho in 2013 or 2014.

 

[ImperialOrange]

So in the last 48 hours we've landed Hilliard and Pierce-Brewster... if we land Morgan as expected and JPO that would be quite the "thud" to end recruiting with.

 

[GoSU96]

How about number wise? Do we have enough including Morgan and assuming Pancho doesn't qualify to sign JPO?

Yes, the numbers will work out.

 

[phil77]

I had Owens still on my list :-( I am an idiot LOL

 

[Toga]

Passing downs? Hell yes

 

[chakka3421]

This recruit is really the size and speed we need at middle LB along with our heavier 325lb+ big uglies at the tackle positions if we are ever going to stop the run that killed us last year.

 

[Ithacaorange]

Or perhaps Smallwood? or Owens?

Smallwood is a 165 pound criminal in waiting.. Jeez , we need to put him on the same wall of fame as peterman. Let it go

...don't forget Myles Davis

 

[rosconey]

You 100% didn't follow that conversation. Was trying to name people that another guy might still be listing as commits that no longer are to help with numbers. Turns out he was still listing Owens.

won't Broyld and Davis count for last year?

 

[OrangeXtreme]

won't Broyld and Davis count for last year?

Yes they will ... but you still can't have more than 85 scholarship players show up in August.

 

[PhatOrange]

I wouldn't be counting on Whitehurst to sign with us tomorrow. If he does then that's all bonus but me thinks there's an extra spot there and the coaches probably already know it.

 

[TheSpaz]

Yeah saw some tweets that Whitehurst is looking likely to USF.

 

[suloyalfan]

Is that presuming Barnwell is an NQ?

Nolan story on PS website says that Barnwell will not sign tomorrow due to academic issues and that he may play for SU in the future if he gets it straightened out.

 

[ImperialOrange]

Won't really shed a tear about that one. Means 1 more spot in play if JPO signs. Still very curious who the LB was that was with JPO at the game last weekend.

Sorry-my bad

Agreed. I'm feeling he is USF-bound.
