Congrats @RDubb_5 welcome to the family ! #stackcity #Cuse16

God only knows what caused the flip yesterday to Cuse. But damn, the gods are shining on us at the moment. If anything you'd think that all the negativity surrounding Cuse the last few days would have pushed him away, not towards us.

Also Jekelish and Bam were incredibly instrumental in this with their major push for the #restore44 movement. Everybody should be on their knees thanking those two for everything they have done to make this happen.

Can't I just shake their hands?

 

[CuseBo]

This is such a big deal! Now this class can be built with Robert as the foundation. What stud guard or tackle wouldn't want to block for him!

 

[anomander]

If you were in arms reach I would smack you upside the back of your head.

I mean I don't care one bit how we got him, just as long as we did. There loss, our gain.

 

[cusefan88]

YESSSSSSSSSS!

 

[Alsacs]

Great job and major props to Eric White and DeAndre Smith those guys effort have produced the highest recruit commitment in over a decade. Now the question is who is next?

I'd much rather have him committed to us pretty solidly now, helping us to recruit for this class, enrolling early, and taking all of his 5 visits than to have him committed to someone else and taking all 5 of his visits.

I agree. We all just have to have faith that he will stay committed for the very reasons he stated today. He realizes that we need him and the other schools just want him.

I hate that you managed to get one of those throwback jerseys and I just got a refund Those things are cool.

You're lucky you got a refund. That company/ site is a total joke.

But enough with the negative stuff. General Washington: Otto's Army salutes you.

 

[cusefan12]

I hope this acts as a domino effect and many other recruits start pouring in. Cali did say earlier when robert committed he was quite loyal to his word, so lets hope he stays orange and recruits for us! We could have a top 40 class for sure!

Just spoke w/Robert Washington. He picked Florida Thursday, but after thinking and talking about it more with family and friends SU won out.

 

[orangefog]

Agreed. I do find it a bit odd he never contacted BR to tell them not to run it, though. Or maybe he did.

Maybe he assumed they wouldn't run it until after his press conference and upon hearing SYRACUSE, they would naturally not run it. By trying to jump the gun, they come across badly.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Wait, is somebody #&$@ing with us here? This is for real?!?!?!?!?

 

[Libero2]

Can't I just shake their hands?

Nope.

Proper thanks is in order.

 

[Rocco]

This is the most I've posted since Steven Clark signed with us and said no thanks to Florida. Love this.

Eric White is a stud. Bringing him here was the one good thing McDonald did for Cuse.

That's funny. Florida thought they were out of it. They were stunned when he announced for Florida.

 

[GoSU96]

Can he do that ? Staff be cool with that.

Like they are going to strong arm him? First top 250 recruit in ages.

Please.

This kid is the puppeteer, not the puppet.

 

[Finwad32]

I like that BR ran it early, serves them right. Tried to scoop the announcement and got egg on their face.

 

[GoSU96]

Lol anyone check the florida board?

I don't think UF or any of the other schools on his final list are going to lose sleep over this.

 

[OrangeViking]

There is a Santa. YESSSSSS!

SIGN THE RESTORE 44 PETITION...We owe this kid now!!

 

[cuseguy]

Exactly. They'll all recruit another 4-star back.

And many of them have several in tow already.

 

[money3189]

Sorry, had to do it. What can I say, Im just a happy fan right now.
