*3.5 blinks*

I’ll take it...3.5 blinks per eye. Very cryptic BNORO

Lol. 50/50 here.

Huge fan.

Hullars it gone

 

[CuseLegacy]

All I have to say is that I am so very, very glad that most of the kids qualified and signed in December.

 

[maxxyz]

And of course, everyone loves Hullars! Oh wait, wrong Fayetteville.

Huge fan.

Sadly they closed in January after 100 years in business.

Is that because you think we would have endured several poachings? Or that appears most kids that didn't sign in December are not ultimately making the grades?

Neither. I love all the kids we got in December but a small group means less work for me and OX tomorrow.

We seem to be limping in the finish line or are we going to see some surprises tomorrow? Or after signing day?

I don't think any surprises tomorrow. More likely after NSD.

We seem to be limping to the finish line? How so? We have 3 openings.

Seriously? I just bought a $50 gift certificate from them on December 28th. Would’ve been nice had they given me a heads up if they knew they were closing soon after.

You can still use it for breakfast...'We had a good run': Hullar's closes after 107 years, coffee shop remains

Great...

Really want to add this kid.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

 

[SUFaninNJ]

Kind of disappointing, no?

 

[721Comstock]

No.

When did we add Alton Robinson last year? Oh yeah - like the day before classes started.
Whatever does or doesn't happen tomorrow, doesn't close the book on who we'll add for next year.
In Dino We Trust.

I didn’t say it did. I’m looking at tomorrow specifically . Robinson’s late signing last year, or any late signing possibilities this year don’t change the fact that guys like Salahuddin, Gardner, Johnson, Jordan and Okechukwu won’t be faxing in their NLI. I’m not saying that this class as a whole is disappointing, just tomorrow is turning out to be a bit of a let down.

Just seems so quiet.

 

[kcsu]

Poor finish for sure D grade at best.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Poor finish for sure D grade at best.

15 kids signed, plus 2 4-star transfers, and at least 2 more NLI's coming tomorrow.

On what planet is that a D?

 

[bnoro]

Poor finish for sure D grade at best.

It's rare that Syracuse football could be selective with the type of recruits that we bring in.

This year we were selective with the type of recruits we brought in. A- class at worst. The staff did an amazing job and the early signing period kept the poachers at bay.

Captain Obvious here but things look "disappointing" because everything NSD-related has changed. We'd have more nice surprises in past years on NSD but also more bad ones by the time the day that new signees are supposed to report arrived. Now we can be fairly confident that the kids who sign will be here in the Fall. No more schools signing 30-plus and seeing where the chips fall. My sense is that the new order will help parity but who knows?

 

[CuseLegacy]

If coaches do their job well then we are going to find that recruiting Christmas is now going to be in December and no longer in February.

We got one of the 2 running backs we've been recruiting for months, a 4 star running back transfer with 3 years left and a running back with one of the highest SPARQ scores we've ever had. That alone is an A.
