Syracuse football: South Alabama graduate transfer OT Ryan Alexander commits

This is some good news during a lousy week for the basketball team. Needed some good news after Thursday night. Thanks, Ryan.

Dear Ryan,

 

[PAcuse]

But but Toads crystal ball is NEVER wrong!!!!
Nice pick up for us.

 

[magelly]

We are going to be tough to stop. The best O since Donavan days!!

Maybe even better.Love this Football team.

But but Toads crystal ball is NEVER wrong!!!!
Nice pick up for us.

He has better results when consults both of them.

 

[TexanMark]

Toad wrong again lmao

Rutgers must have pulled their offer.

Just an awesome pickup. This not only gives us a potential plug and play starter, it gives us the potential of having more offensive line flexibility. Lets say, for example, that Alexander ends up being legit and Tisdale or Vettorello was also good enough to start. Suddenly you can throw Servais back at center and have a VERY experienced interior. If not, you can experiment with some more tackle combinations to find the right group.

This fees like the cherry on top of the class, my guess is we are basically finished for 2019 now. Now we just get Shy back, get Hendrix, Pickard & Okechukwu healthy, and charge into 2019 being the kind of team we know we can be.

 

[SUforme]

Awesome. As long as we don't get another NC State situation again.

 

[Ottoble]

Love It trenches are where the game is won!

Every time I see this ForCuseSake post I feel like a commitment is officially official!!

 

[P Vasiloff]

Congratulations young Mr. Alexander as ForCuseSake states on your very wise choice of Syracuse University Football. Now arrive ready to go and push the pile forward and protect a flank. You will be part of something that is going to be special. Go Orange!!!!!!

Toad Hunt makes every recruit or transfer sound like they are dying to go to Butgers. Its hilarious. Doesnt realize he hurts their image when he does that.

He's RutgersAl in disguise. Or maybe "Son of RutgersAl".
What we have to look for is the tendency to name all linemen "BIG John Blank". LOL

lol those are two of the biggest Rutgers homers out there. RutgersAl is predicted 10 wins for them this year.

Both. All those rutgers feel good atricles gives people false hope and makes it look like prospects are telling lies. Especially after they commit to another school.

Per Toads article on Friday, Alexander also visited Louisville and was working on a visit to Purdue. I like the Brohm wanted to bring this kid in.

Also interesting that Syracuse, Purdue and Butgers were not requiring him to take the GRE test but LVille wanted it. Funny.

I'd completely forgotten about Tisdale joining the mix this summer to. This is a nice addition, from a competition standpoint the both of them will pick up the level of play from everybody.

Nice pickup but I long for the day we don't need stop gap players at any position. I am no O-Line guru but I was underwhelmed by Martin after coming over from A&M - is this kid a step below or on par?

Based on that assessment, I think it is safe to say that you are no O-Line guru.

Martin was terrific last year.

Yeah Martin was arguably our top lineman last year.

Yeah Martin was arguably our top lineman last year.

I would definitely argue against that.
