Class of 2025 OT Jayden Mann (NY) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (7/11/24)

[steve deberg]

Can’t believe what I’m about to type, but 6’4 seems short for the type OTs that Fran has been bringing in (247 and On3 have him listed at that height).

Are we looking to bring him in as a Guard?

From Mann's comments no. The staff knows he is a bit shorter but with his athleticism they want him to come in as an OT.

Interesting. Not doubting the talent at all, kid would just (amazingly) be an outlier size wise in this class.

We already have three 6’7 OTs and one 6’6 OT committed.

We laugh at how persnickity NFL teams get on hand and arms measurements, but those inches can make a big difference.

Hope he picks Cuse and has a Pugh like career!

He's not even a senior in high school yet. He could get taller.

 

[Orijinal]

6'4" is tall enough for an OT, especially if he's good

For college i'd say its just tall enough. 247 also mentioned him at 6'-5" in an article so Its possible he is 6'-5" already but hard to know how accurate any referenced heights really are.

 

[CbusCuse]

On 247's profile page they list him as 6'-4" up at the top but have 6'-5" listed down below in his scouting report.
Also Rivals lists him at 6'-5"

Well, looks like some intrigue on the pick. I'm here for it!

Jayden liked my twitter comment about Cuse on his commitment post. It's official friends!

Ehh some times we have propensity to over critique. There is a lot to like about this recruit. Given how long the line has been a weakness, this class of oline coupled with our transfers on the oline in 2024 have positioned us to be much stronger.

I agree, not trying to disparage the kid at all - he seems like a real player and has a ton of great offers.

It just seemed like Fran had established a philosophy for his OTs, considering thus far his recruited OTs have been 6’6 (two), 6’7 (four), and 6’8 (one).

It was from Richard O'Leary. He's the Rutgers recruiting expert and co-hosts the Rutgers recruiting blog.View attachment 242807

and looks like he's 13. At least he's honest about SU leans.

Who knows, we could end up with the Cardinal Hayes trifecta of Belin, Belin and Mann.

Are they better than Hamlin, Hamlin, and McGill ?

The 2nd Belin as well?

All day says he's 6-5 290 as of February ('24). Trust in the staff.

What's an inch amongst friends?

 

[ADKOrange]

84.1%...I would take those odds all day long.

The only thing that could make my free Slurpee on 7/11 Day better is a commitment from The Mann

And you're welcome for the reminder
