I was told AET had hand issues and Estime wasn’t a college player.

Fresh starts can help cure these ills.

I don't disagree.

If approved, new transfer rule would start on August 1st. Don't know if that would include retroactive transfers:

Rothstein | NCAA To Meet Soon About Immediate Eligibility For Transfers

I do because if it didnt ridiculous results would occur. Eg people who transferred on 7/31 would have to sit a year but on 8/1 would not

Hes already taking classes it says, we should of known earlier then lol.

If fumble monster Tiki Barber can be taught ball security, anyone can be taught.

Yes, cured by 'Cuses own Tom Coughlin.

Talked to my OU friend at work.. He's a really good back but as can happen at the factories, he got stuck behind 1100 yard rusher Rodney Anderson and a freshman that ran for almost 800 yards.

Interesting. Watched a couple of clips and one can see why he was a 4*. Very impressive and an awesome get! A guy like this can can overcome a questionable OL and get the running game going against most teams. Huge!!

Should have a really nice tough veteran OL for him when he gets eligible. Adams, Servais, Heckel etc.

 

[Stern]

Big time player. Big time get. Nice addition to this offense

 

[leftytg]

just wanted to bump this YouTube video. There will be no complaining that a Syracuse back got caught from behind on a long run with this kid. I am super excited - this just came out of nowhere.

Second run is ridiculous. He's got some serious speed.

 

[CA Monk]

Abdul Adams. A.A. as in All-American?
He'll be salivating to play in 2019 since he'll have this year's spring practice, a fall practice, another spring (2019) practice before he finally suits up to play in the fall of 2019. Can't wait. Almost 9 yards a carry last year. I don't care if it is OU, this dude makes people miss.

Could be a smoke situation, could be a fire situation but Adams has been speculated as being a likely transfer from Oklahoma on Sooner message boards. Check out his twitter follow list. It's looking pretty Orange at the top.

Second run is wiggle and desire. Third one is flat our burner. He has another gear.

 

[albanycuse]

So he can play for only 1 year?

From my son-in-law (a die-hard OU fan!):


He is a very good back, very shifty and really good speed he will have to sit a year and have 2 years of eligibility after that, I think he will be one of the better backs in the ACC when he suits up we really liked him here

 

[Orangepace]

So he can play for only 1 year?

He never took a redshirt year, so believe that he sits out 2018 season and then has eligibility to play in 2019 and 2020.

Yeah both of our 4 star transfers have 2 years left.

Here are the full highlights from the Baylor game that he ran for the 99 yarder...

 

[OttoinGrotto]

This seems like a big pick up.

 

[qdawgg]

Fantastic get.

I would be interested what drew him to SU. Big culture difference from Oklahoma.

 

[Alsacs]

Great commitment.
This lessens the Salahudden recruitment for me.
I want that kid but with Adams I feel we will be fine in the RB department.

 

[Orangepace]

Devito is going to love handing the ball off to this guy.

 

[Alsacs]

Here is Adams against Baylor going to Tony Dorsett on MNF.

There's a connection to our new favorite school HD Woodson in DC. Adams finished his Junior year there and was planning to play there his senior year before he was denied residency.

Former Wilson standout RB Abdul Adams denied D.C. residency for senior year of high school

Not sure if this had anything to do with it but I would imagine HD Woodson's head coach knows him and since we're favored to be landing his son, the JUCO CB Duwayne Johnson who played at Woodson along with our 2 already signed recruits that played at Woodson and then Salahuddin as well...yeah, probably not a coincidence lol.
