Onto 2013

[Rocco]

Agreed. Haven't had a chance to look at film of everyone but my guess is that when I do my top 30, Caleb will end up about 20th.

Certainly agree he will be in the top 20, but I was more talking about him having a UB offer would catapult him into the Top 20.

1. LaRay Smith
2. Wayne Williams
3. Alex Officer

5. Kahil Lewin
6. Augustus Edwards
7. Devan Carter
8. Caleb Skepaniak
9.Thomas Plonski

Yep. My bad. Fixed.

Admins - is the offer list on our recruiting database complete?

Really crucial to do well this year. I am expecting 7-5, but if we can pull 8-4 or better, combined with the facilities upgrades, we could have a really really good year. I think it would be realistic to think we could land a 5-star type that we have some "in" with.

Expecting 7 wins. Just because i'm curious, can you name the 7.

I see 6 wins as our ceiling.

Impossible when the full schedule hasn't been released yet.

My estimate is based solely on how I expect our program to improve, given the reality of where we are. 1 win per year from starting point. So at 4-8 in Marrone's first year, I would expect 7-5 this year. Doesn't matter who we are playing (within reason). We overachieved by 2 games the 2nd year, for understandable reasons. We underachieved this year by 1 game, for understandable reasons. Expected 8-4 in year 5, rebuild of foundations is complete, and it's time to see where the ceiling is.

For next year, taking a WAG:

Stony Brook: Win
Minnesota: Win
NW: Push
U$C: Loss
UConn: Win
Rutgers: Win
Pitt: Push
Cincy: Push
USF: Push
Louisville: Push

I've got 4 wins, with 2 games yet to be announced - hopefully both are win-types.

I don't think any site has a complete offer list for Syracuse. The staff doesn't want this info public. But it is as accurate as we determine at any given time. As DM has said a few times, the SU staff is ahead of schedule for the first time recruiting a class and that class is the class of 2013.
