http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...-robert-washington-makes-his-college-decision NEW bleacher report on his decision, lol

 

[Lawrinson14]

I'd like to think it was the restore 44 pic I made for him

 

[Ringostar57]

He chose US theee University of Syracuse. Music to my ears

 

[CuseBo]

Watching the hockey game and there's a kid with his Syracuse shirt on sitting directly behind the Islander's bench! Perfect!! No doubt was waiting for the news!

 

[TexanMark]

He has the orange one but we both wanted the throwback Ernie Davis white one that that fleabag website never sent to either one of us. I luckily got a refund, so I'm content I guess lol.

you know...with the right set up...a company making throwbacks could do quite well. Too bad those guys running it were idiots.

Ahem, I'll be taking my victory laps for the next 44 hours over here.

Can you repost that one I made, I can't find it.

I sure hope Caliluv pops back soon to give us everything he/she knows and finally tells us who he/she is.

I don't think he will. He told me the other day that no matter how it played out today, he decided it would probably be for the best if he doesn't come back.

 

[CuseLegacy]

OK y'all don't burn the place down. I will be back later to check. Right now I am going to get ready to go to Mass and offer up a HUGE prayer of thanks. Thanks for Roberts' commitment to Cuse and that I don't have to spend my night deleting posts and locking threads.

 

[CuseBo]

Can we get an AMEN from the congregation!! Nice work by the crew here and really a class act! Nice work by the staff and HC to build the atmosphere where a talented young man like this would want to come build on the tradition #44!.

To all our fans and #CuseTwitterArmy I can't thank you enough..and of course the closer @coachDLSmith1 #YouTheRealMVP

 

[dasher]

Say what now ?

he said he was going to commit to florida but Baileys article convinced him to go to Cuse.

Quick, house mom is gone! ::does something crazy::

I think it's probably wisest he doesn't return given the fact he will receive an endless supply of questions he doesn't want to answer and shouldn't have to answer. He should maintain contact with the friends he made on the board, but he certainly doesn't need to come back and feel like he has to justify his actions to a bunch of message board nut jobs.

Best of luck to him, and to RW on his path as a future Orangeman

 

[samspann1]

Holy crap, this is unreal!!! I saw the initial Florida reports on Twitter, and decided to run some errands. Then, I saw this thread title, and said to myself "What?".

Just awesome. Great job by the staff in landing RW44. Yeah, that's what I'm calling him.

I'm not sure how much of a part in played in RW44's verbal commitment, but either way, I want to thank those behind the Restore 44 movement.

Great day to be Orange!!!

 

[Bambrewer]

I just got off the phone with rw sr. He said to congratulate all you fans. He said rw is exited and will be here in January. He said the family is good and enjoy the day!

That might well be the second best news we've all gotten today to know that all is well with the family.

How excited is Shy about this news Bam? I know you're excited your son gets to play with such an amazing person and player like RW.

 

[Orange4]

Robert and Gene Coleman just followed each other on Twitter, Gene Coleman is one of the staffs too wide Reciever targets out of New Jersey and is a burner. Looks like Robert commuting is already starting to take effect on kids.

 

[kcsu]

After the close we had last signing period and now this there is zero doubt that this staff knows how to position Syracuse with recruits. Lets hope that we have a solid year, get to a bowl and that HCSS is rewarded by the new AD with an extension. We are on our way back and i truly hope we keep the course . Great day to be a Syracuse fan. RESTORE 44!!

He is very excited he knows what this means for the team and the future of it!

 

[OburgOrange]

Could this have a domino effect on other recruits? Could this peak the interest of a high profile QB for instance? I don't follow recruiting that closely, so maybe someone could fill me in. It would be great to get QB to go along with RW

Excellent! I'm happy for the Orange faithful but just as happy for Robert. The pressure on a young man going through this must be tough. He seems relieved and truly happy and excited. The weight has been lifted from his, and our, shoulders! Just have to keep him part of the orange family now.

 

[Orijinal]

I EAT CROW!! I EAT CROW!! I said Washington would NOT pick us and probably turn towards TCU. I LOVE THIS!!! I was SO WRONG!! Well played, Robert. Well, played.

And for me, the cherry on top of this all is that Robert Washington is a person of faith. Loving this all the way around! A man molded in the character of Ernie Davis. Perfect. This could not be a better way to break the long chill. Welcome, Robert. So glad to cheer you and Cuse on!!
