Per Twitter he has received an offer from Navy.
2 NYS players (Syr & Roch) standout at Deion Sanders Prime 21 camp in Texas. Jake Zembiec (QB 2016/Aquinas) and Andre Dowdell (WR 2015/CBA):
#6 QB
Jake Zembiec (2016)
Rochester (N.Y.) Aquinas Institute
At 6-foot-2, 205-pounds, Zembiec has a solid build and he throws a good ball. He was able to locate the ball well as he find receivers in some tight spaces. He threw with some strong velocity which helped cut through the wind today. Zembiec has picked up offers from Penn State, UCF, Oklahoma State, Boston College and Iowa and he is receiving strong interest from Notre Dame and Michigan State. He has trips coming to Florida State, UCF and Oklahoma State in July.
#11 WR
Andre Dowdell
Syracuse (N.Y.) Christian Brothers Academy
Dowdell is small, but he is on this list because there was not a guy out there going more full speed. He played with great effort throughout the day and he did every route, every rep, every snap, everything at 100-percent. He showed some nice quickness on his cuts and he was very eager to soak up anything he could get from the coaches on hand at the Prime 21 Camp on Saturday.

They have this going on at Oklahoma St also. But one could question if the NCAA really has authority to do jack squat anymore. The NCAA will probably take it out on Louisiana Monroe or something

Imagine a start to the 2016 class of Zembiac, Washington and Rene. What a pipe dream, but that would definitely bring others in.

word is here that Syracuse is looking at Jamir Jones (2016 DE). His brother, Jarron, is D-line for Notre Dame

ok so "chances are getting slimmer" is an opinion then. Ok State really isn't a high major offer that scares me.

Yeah our coach is a man and he's 40 also, but you don't see him making a big deal about it.
yes, an opinion. While finishing #17 in the country might not 'scare" you, it is respectable on a national level.

I'm not saying I don't respect Ok St, I just believe that a kid from Rochester wouldn't view an Ok St offer as a standout offer. I could be wrong but that's just my opinion.

While I personally don't like Gundy, his system has to be very appealing to a QB. Not to mention for all the facilities talk, they have to be in the conversation thanks to T. Boone.
We all have to admit that nothing that SU ran last year is going to impress a top-tier QB...now we'll wait and see what happens this year, but our offense isn't in Ok St's ballpark just yet.

As a former 3rd string HS qb, I would have loved to be in a system that throws 15 bubble screens a game.
Joking aside, I think we tempered the game plan because of limitations with Hunt/WRs. I expect us to go down field more this year with the added experience, at least I how we do (with huge success).

A couple of things a 16 year old kid may not realize about Oklahoma St. Despite Gundy turning the Pokes into a very strong, top 20 program, that is very appealing to passing QB's, Stillwater, OK is an absolute pit. It may be one of the worst college towns in the whole country. Plus you have the fact that they are currently on probation limiting their practice time, and are under investigation for some other things. It wouldn't be a surprise if they struggled this year since they will be at a disadvantage, and then who knows what the future stores in terms of more penalties. I just can't see going to college thousands of miles away to go to a place like Stillwater.

I was actually going to post the same thing but decided against it. We've known for a while it was only a matter of time before he was going to blow up with big time offers. We're going to be fighting against Ohio st and penn state type teams among others for this kid. Oklahoma state isn't going to scare me, when's the last time we lost a local orecruit to the big 12? Oklahoma st. has some recent success but not the type of school that scares me with a kid from Rochester.
I agree with most of what you say, except for the QB position. It's a different animal in the recruiting world. When's the last time we had a legit QB recruit in the area to lose to another school/state. Like you pointed out, it's not just Oklahoma State we are competing against for a kid like this. I'm still not sure how hard Cuse is going after this kid. maybe they don't see him as a fit for what they are doing on offense.
