Love having big recruits on campus. Crossing my fingers all day.

Wouldn't expect commits just yet from either guy but good to have them here.

Both would be great gets, obviously. In the case of Jonas, ... his high school (Dwyer) is a football factory. Tons of ACC/SEC/NFL talents have worked their way through Dwyer, including recent products Jacoby Brissett (NC St/Patriots) and Nick O'Leary (FSU, Bills). There are many, many more. But it'd be a nice step for the program to snare a top talent from this school.

 

[RandomGuy]

Both, please.

Anyone able to find #'s/times on Q? Was supposed to be at nj opening, but didn't see him in the results.

Big, strong. That's all I got

 

[RandomGuy]

Only thing besides height/weight i could find was that he throws Shotput 43 feet... Just curious on the others...

 

[Cusester]

Would be a great bookend with Willem.

Not so hot for the HS shot if it was a recent performance.

Many hs shotputters only do it because their football coaches tell em they have to... Some take it seriously, other's won't skip their gym schedule(their fb coaches dont want them to), and just show up at meets..(no form) Wouldn't base anything on that #

Absolutely agree, and will belabor the point no further - it could be a hobby or a coaches requirement, but a 300+ lb 4 star D1 OL prospect should be able to put the shot 43' sitting in a beach chair.

On the SU football team there are some HS state champs in shot put.

 

[RandomGuy]

Cool. Who?

Think I found it. Evan Adams 56 ft.

I think jj watt threw 58-58? Vince Wilford 68 -florida state record.

 

[Orangejet]

Stick to football guys...

 

[bigmike]

Michael Carter formerly of SMU and the SF 49ers, I think, holds the HS national record of something like 80 feet.

 

[orangenauburn]

Umm world record is 23.12 m or just under 76'

Lighter shot put in high school

 

[RandomGuy]

Hope Q had a great visit!

Lighter shot put in high school

Who cares, let's focus on this kid. Throwing a mass of an object means nothing here

Unless he's throwing would be pass rushers 70' to protect TD.

 

[kcsu]

Regardless of landing white or not what a great job by the staff getting him to visit multiple times. This staff connects.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

I love that he's visited 4 times already. Not in a Quade Green way, I hope. He would be a great get for many reasons. There are some big boys in the fight for him, but hopefully Dino will convince him that SU is the best place for him. White and Sampson on the same line is just what this offense needs!

Need blue chips at QB and OL. The rest is easy to fill, and not as crucial.

Samson and White would constitute a monster haul at OL for SU.

And Julian Whigham; a very positive example of someone who benefited from his time at SU even though the individual football aspect wasn't optimal.
