Class of 2019 RB Jawhar Jordan Jr. (AZ) SIGNED NLI TO SYRACUSE 12/19/18

[cuse309]

One thing Jawhar has to learn sometime in his life is to be his word. If you don't learn that and be your word through your life, the respect people have for you goes away - it's like the young boy who cried WOLF once to many times. I hope that is not the case here.

He said among his words to us after committing that he was cutting off all other recruiting.

The interview below with he and Paul Edsen, Jr.:

We began this conversation talking about his commitment to the Orange and what stood out during the process:

Jawhar Jordan Jr. (@CutsOnDime):

Most definitely THE COACHES. Great, genuine people. I had a very good connection with them & they kept in contact with not only myself but also with my parents so I appreciated that attention to detail.

We brought up Jim Brown earlier and the legend of ’44’, did that affect Jawhar at all during the

recruiting process?

Jawhar Jordan Jr. (@CutsOnDime):

Yes absolutely. Going to a school with great alumni was what I was looking for. I want to carry on a legacy.

When asked what are his goals here at Syracuse, he didn’t hold back. This was the boldest claims we’ve heard from any recruit we’ve spoken with thus far.

Jawhar Jordan Jr. (@CutsOnDime):

To be the best running back to ever come out of Syracuse. I want to win the Heisman trophy. And finally I hope to bring a National Championship back to Central New York.

I'm lol'ing at this now.

I'm lol'ing at this now.

It's one of life's lesson's that some people never get.

I'm smiling now but he's still got to get his grades or test scores up. I'm sure DB and staff are and will be all over this.. He's much to valuable a commit to not receive all the attention he needs to be able to play at SU. He's the back that will complete this class and his football skills will promote future success to SUFB.

I dont see us recruiting contingency rb’s so that leads me to believe Dino’s confident in these two. That is enough for me. No, Sulahaddin was not a contingency prospect.

 

[TheCusian]

I much prefer the up front way this gets handled, re: academic issues. We know who has work to do and it provides schools some time to work contingencies.

It would be nice to not get amped about signing day guys only to see them never get here.

Is it really that he needs to get his grades up or is it that hes right on schedule

I think if he was right on schedule the staff would have let him commit. Probably just needs to do a little more academically to qualify.

 

[NJCuse97]

Bump. Any chatter on his status? Have we moved on? I haven’t heard anything since early signing on him specifically

 

[CuseLegacy]

Not a peep or a tweet but his twitter locator shows Long Island fwiw.

hmmmm... why would he be back in Long Island now? He should be in school in Chandler AZ. Don't get it? Any thoughts Legacy?

 

[SUFan44]

Reading the tea leaves on this one... either I'm extremely paranoid, or there's a very realistic chance that he's not going to make it to Syracuse.

No official set yet to our knowledge. Staff visiting and having visit multiple other RB prospects. I think the writing is on the wall.

Can't visit unless grades are in order, right?

Seems that way...

He retweeted his commit graphic yesterday.

Need two sides to make a deal. Hopefully I'm wrong.

My thought too. Unfortunate and hope I'm wrong. Have faith that we will get talent in at the position, but would be nice to get this kid. Think he's undervalued and could explode in the Dome.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

He's one of my favorite recruits this year, but grades (or other reasons) may be why there seem to be a preponderance of RB recruits on the SU radar these days. High quality ones at that. I hope that if he doesn't come to SU that they are able to grab one of the highly rated recruits that they now seem to be focusing on. There's definitely a need, in my opinion, to bring in at least one if not two running backs this cycle.

 

[CuseLegacy]

If the issue is a test score he won't be able to take the ACT again until 2/10. Maybe we just need to sit back and see what happens. Offering other RBs could still be a plan B.

 

[CbusCuse]

Keep in mind we had 3 RB's verbaled at one point before we lost Hassan Hall. May just have a few on the radar as we have a plan to bring in 3. Hoping Jawhar Jordan's grades are good enough and he makes it here. Then we get either Salahuddin or Jarveon Howard.

My same thoughts here.
