Agree.  Would have been a risk for the kid to come North.  Let me put ED and ZM aside for a moment.   First off, Chance would be looking up at a super talented kid one year ahead of him from (hopefully) a regional HS feeder program. He will also have a talented RS Freshman to compete with. Second, I believe because he is from out of the normal recruiting footprint, he is more likely to be passed over if he doesn't prove to be what the coaches are expecting.  If he does not show well in practice, he is therefore much more likely to be converted to, say, WR.

It's for this reason in reverse, I believe, that many of the national NYC recruits that we wish would go to SU are never heard from again after they sign with schools that recruit nationally. They have unfortunately, and perhaps foolishly, put themselves in a position where they better be as good as advertised.  If they aren't, they may find themselves sliding to the bottom of the depth chart really fast.
