Can't say I'm confident, but hoping for some good news

 

[DirtDog44]

I believe he announces tomorrow, so what does everyone think the odds are that he will don an Orange cap at press conference?

 

[CUSU]

33.33% is what my brain says, but 100% in my heart. LGO

 

[Antiprodigy]

No idea if he does the cap thing, but I am on the 100% Orange list.

So because I like reading too much into everything, Dan Tortora just tweeted about his interview with Robert in which he discussed all six schools (the interview from several weeks ago), and Robert retweeted 4 of the tweets...about TCU, Bama, UNC, and Florida.

Hasn't retweeted the ones about Michigan or Syracuse. Probably means nothing, obviously. But still.

Probably the first retweet DT has ever had, actually.

So, are you reading into that he's down to one of those four or that he's down to Michigan and SU?

BTW, my gut has always thought Florida. Heart wants SU, obviously.

Just to keep this in perspective: Robert Washington will win zero games for Syracuse University in 2015.

2015 is a HUGE year for the Scott Shafer regime.

This whole saga is deflecting what is an absolutely make-or-break year for Scott Shafer and his coaching staff. If the staff goes anything less than 6-6, this whole situation might be moot anyway.

Not trying to be negative at all - I really hope he commits to SU. Just trying to be real.

Didn't I read somewhere that Shafer is getting two more years, regardless of what happens this year?

 

[CUSU]

Yes, that is whats being said.

 

[jekelish]

OF COURSE I've been extremely positive and optimistic about this recruitment the entire time. OF COURSE the day before he actually announces is the day that I suddenly start feeling pessimistic.

Ugh. Can it just be 3:01 tomorrow already?

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Shafer has a 5 year contract.

2015 is Year 3.

Ridiculous. There are no games played in April. Shafer and co. are doing all they can to improve the team right now. That means getting the best talent they can.

There will plenty of time to ponder how many games we will win this season.

 

[Easy Goer]

Unfortunately that doesn't really mean anything other than possibly how much Syracuse would owe him if they terminated it early.

 

[SUFan44]

Shafer has a 5 year contract.

With a new AD on board, my guess would be that doesn't matter if the 2015 season goes badly.

I was hell bent on going to oswego as a 17 year old and flipped to OCC then decided to go to Cortland.

And I thought I made some bad life decisions...

Fallout from the PS and subsequent retraction demand from RWSr? Smokescreen?

Who knows. But I cannot wait until tomorrow.

Unlike Jerry on the b-ball side, Barton knows his stuff and is very plugged in. Hopefully this is one of those occasions that he's wrong.

 

[bothsocksup]

People be positive not in the fact that Washington is coming here, but that if he doesn't we have a running back on this roster that will be a star!

 

[UnknownOrange]

Visited Oz plenty of times! Great place, academically not for me haha

 

[jekelish]

For what it's worth, someone who I can't reveal but who got the info from RW himself (not RW's dad) told me a week or so ago that Michigan was a serious threat here.

 

[CuseLegacy]

I have heard that 2015 would have to be an absolute disaster for him not to get at least another year...and that wasn't even making a bowl.

Now all the Michigan related 247 guys are picking Michigan.
