Class of 2026 OL Steven Pickard (FL) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (1/25/25)

[Cuse On 3]

This kid has joe cruz written all over him

He visited Florida State for the East Texas A&M game on September 6th as did Javeion Cooper. Not positive how much interest either direction but it seems like FSU is at least exploring the option of flipping him.

Understand you are just sharing info which I appreciate. But Pickard is the last player in this class I expect to flip anywhere.

Cooper on the other hand. Is like a girlfriend you have locked down but is a big flirt to anyone

Haha idk about that. I like the kid too. He’s a big time Syracuse fan and use to live here. But he’s definitely a project which there is nothing wrong with that. I think Hawn who is the true frosh on campus right now is a lot more comparable to Joe Cruz. Cruz doesn’t get enough credit. He was underrated since Day 1 and you could have probably plugged him in a series or two and he would have played well since his true freshman year. Same exact thing with Hawn. Similar sizes, skill sets, underrated, could probably play this year if we NEEDED him to but we don’t need him too. Either way both will be good players by the time they are done at Cuse

I believe he is an early enrollee. Be interesting to see how many commits will be early enrollees.

Hopefully all of them

Just my humble opinion but he does not seem quick enough to play OT in the ACC.

In my opinion I think he will play Guard.

He reminds me of the St. Thomas Aquino’s duo we got back with Shafer.

Great comparison

Great comparison

Hopefully i’m wrong. They never saw the field.

 

[Hawknate2]

I'm going to be honest here, I hope he ends up good, I also have tempered expectations, he's one of the lower rated guys in our class

Ano, your memory isn't serving you well. Byrne played, at least 10 games with 8 starts. Clausman not so much as he ended up DQed.
