Message: [QUOTE="Orangeyes, post: 283892, member: 34"] [COLOR=#000080][B]Saw Funderburk in April of 2010 when he was here on a visit with teammate, and now SU red-shirt cornerback Jaston George and Raysean Richardson, a safety who ended up at Temple.[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000080][B]Doug Marrone had a long sit down with Quinta, Raysean & Jaston.[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000080][B]Funderburk came away with a positive vibe for the coaches, said they were straight up with him.[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000080][B]He added that he liked SU's focus on winning, family and life after football.[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000080][B]He spoke with Rob Moore and liked the fact that they are similarly built and that Moore made it to the NFL out of SU.[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000080][B]He loved the Carrier Dome it was his first time in a domed stadium.[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000080][B]Right after that visit, he got an offer from USC and a couple of days later attended the Alabama spring game, he also had an offer from them.[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000080][B]By the end of July he had a top five which did not include us, Michigan, Arkansas, West Virginia, Florida & Penn State .[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000080][B]The thing he liked best about Arkansas is that [U]they threw the ball a lot.[/U][/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000080][B]In September of 2010 he made his official Arkansas visit and was in awe of everything he saw.[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000080][B]The stadium, the fans, the academics, the 70 other recruits who were there on the visit and most of all, [U]how much they threw the ball[/U].[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000080][B]The only disappointing thing? The Razorbacks lost to Alabama.[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000080][B]Late in October after having made all of his visits, the 18th ranked wideout committed to Arkansas.[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000080][B]Not to put a damper on things but in the interests of full disclosure, a recruiting site writer told me, at the time, that Funderburk was highly overrated and he was no great loss.[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000080][B]The biggest pluses we have going for us is Jaston George & he both attended Oscar Smith so, he'd have an instant home-boy to help him through those homesick moments. Immediate playing time is a lot more available at SU than a football factory. Finally, he has already visited & loved the Dome and really hit it off with, and could relate to, his position coach, Rob Moore.[/B][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#000080]Here is the Post Standard's full report by Katie Kramer:[/COLOR][/B] [URL='http://blog.syracuse.com/orangefootball/2012/05/source_former_arkansas_wide_re.html'][B][COLOR=#000080][U]Source: Former Arkansas wide receiver Quinta Funderburk plans to transfer to Syracuse[/U][/COLOR][/B][/URL] [/QUOTE]
