No matter what, it's good to have high profile recruits visit you. When he chooses Clemson or Florida the ESPN ticker will likely say, he chose them over the other school and Syracuse which can't be bad pub.

Those things almost NEVER say Syracuse, despite us having recruited the kids.

 

[DPCuse]

I seem to recall Ishaq's did a couple years ago. Almost the same type of recruitment.

 

[Nick44]

I also read somewhere that his mom was coming with him to Syracuse. Wasn't she his biggest advocate for Syracuse?

 

[JD]

Because you have ZERO chance if he doesn't visit. You're still selling your program, to the kid, to the family, to the high school coach, to future prospects at the school.

^^^This^^^^

I am pretty sure we have zero chance now, besides you are not pulling the offer just saying our resources are better spent elsewhere.

 

[syr02esq]

I say get him here and let's try anyways. We lose nothing.

Besides, the cost is peanuts and schools are allotted like 50 (or more) paid trips a year. Syracuse probably barely uses half of them.

There you go. He is a flighty teenager who seems besotted with every place he visits. Get him here to see his friends and you never know what happens. Maybe after the back six this year, guys on the team sell him. Maybe he sees Shafer eating raw venison off the carcass in the morning and is sold on the spot.

Sir where I am from I believe deer meat is spelled venzen.

@Ebenezer_O_1: Got alot of love for UF and Clemson it's gonna be hard choosing between the two.

He better make his mind quickly so both of those schools don't use his scholarship.

I gave up on EO the second he extended his commitment date. I'd love to have him but I've long moved on.

So don't choose between the two and select Cuse ... solves a big problem

 

[Rocco]

SU is like the kid who has a 2 year degree and is trying to get into Goldman Sachs.

 

[44PRIDE]

Alright, I'm done with this kid. We've wasted enough time. Lets chase players that want to be here.

Moving on.

Like that maybe, but not that.

 

[CaliCuse]

Why have him in for the visit if his mind is already made up. Sell it as we are focusing our efforts on guys who want to be here, not offering weekend get aways. Winter break is coming soon he can hang with his boys then.

Getting Scrooge is surely preferable to not getting him but I think he needs s visit from those three spirits in order to get his act together.We should know a week from today if the work for him has been worthwhile along with a couple others. Humungous weekend next week.

It was over when he cancelled his july conference. way too much time wasted talking about somebody that clearly wanted to be elsewhere. Until we are back as a traditional top 25 team, we need to go after top talents anywhere in the country that will come here. Lets face it, NY is not the hotbead of a talent pool, and what it does have is will be highly contended with the B1G in town now as well. Not that DM can't still compete in NY, but we need to focus on GA, FL, TX and hopefully compete locally in NJ and PA as well.

I'd love to see a kid like him shutout and forced to go JC. I would laugh up to signing day knowing the kid lost a year of Div1 experience. It would serve him right.

He is looking to enroll in January, so I think it is unlikely that he will have to go JUCO.

That's terrible, Cali. He's a 17 year old kid deciding where to go to college.

Sometimes the fans take things way tooo personal ... would I love to see EO in Orange? Of course ... but why condemn a kid if he doesn't choose SU ... it isn't right for everyone ... and its a major major decision for him to boot.

 

[upperdeck]

but many of these kids arent looking for a place to go to college.. they are looking for place to stay for 3 years on the way to the nfl.

I don't wish any negative to a kid that has the right to play anywhere he wants. Let's take Ishaq, he could very well have been a plug and play starter at SU and much further along in his game that he is now at ND, still only a part time player with real heat his junior year on whether or not he'll be a starter for the Irish next year. Still his choice, could have maybe rasied his game level with Syracuse, but then again he is playing for a NC this year. He will get a degree from ND, so wish him well, but still wish he would have chosen the Orange. Never felt this way with EO from the onset, but still good luck is all I can say.

Ishaq's brand has never been bigger.

You can be a mean, miserable, self centered person sometimes Cali. It makes no difference in your life where this kid goes to school, and yet you wish him harm. Next you will be challenging him to a duel.
