Class of 2016 RB Robert Washington (NC) to UNC Charlotte

Hey everyone, remember all that talk about negativity being unattractive to recruits and their parents?

Let's go back to remembering it.

Yep, because I guarantee you "Negative Nellies" out there that CaliLuv or another of Washington's friends/family IS reading all of this.

Thank goodness Steven didn't let the Negative Nellies on here change his mind. Let's hope RW takes the same path!

My only question at this point is "has he also picked his roommate at Skytop?"

Dwayne Haskins...duhh.

So this feels like a good time to remind people to sign the petition to #Restore44 and tell everyone you know to do the same.

Ha. It's going to happen more times than I can count over the next week, as early as tomorrow. Not for a decision tomorrow. But just in general as we get down, ticking away the clock...

S*out released their updated Top 300 yesterday and RW is not on the list (ridiculous, I know). Might this be a good sign for us? In other words, have they already begun to drop his stock because he's Orange!!!???

I don't like when this thread is silent. Mainly because I need something to help me pass the time at work.

#21 RB which is absolutely ridiculous, what was he previously? Prediction- If he picks SU he stays at 21 or drops, TCU- back to top 15, UF or UM- they put him in the top ten.

 

[jekelish]

Anyone who has watched the kid's film knows this is one of the best RBs in the country. If there are 20 better RBs then it's the greatest RB class in history.

I need some CaliLuv back in my life. Getting RW update withdrawal.

He's not gonna be back until after 4/25. Are my updates not enough for you!? Yeesh!

I like the fact that RW seems to be happy about the fan's attention being given to him coming here and wearing #44. He is aware of the history/tradition involved Having him in the same backfield with Strickland or Fredericks along with Perkins would or should make the running game one of the best in the country. The only (IF) is the offensive line

 

[JrodCuse]

Wrong Cali but i'll take it!

HUGE reason to not blindly believe rankings from recruiting services.

Caliluv gave a good answer to this. He has been getting recruited since 8 th grade he has played every all star game done every combine. He is old news to the recruiting boards. Doesn't drive the clicks. So he has been swept aside. The fact that all the majors ( and the minor) teams want him tells you he is 5 star

Yep. There's a reason he has more offers than any other RB in the country.

...among many, MANY other reasons ;-)

I've a bit of a personal vendetta against many of those schmoes.

I really do hope that Robert understands that while he will make his mark no matter where he goes, he has a chance to be a genuine icon at Syracuse. I don't think it's hyperbole in talking about his potential impact on the Syracuse football program.

He'll be a cog in the machine at a school like Alabama, Florida, or Michigan. At Syracuse...he can be a legend.

Those are great programs. I won't begrudge him if he chooses any of them. I won't begrudge him if he picks TCU or UNC. But at Syracuse, his career could be woven into the fabric of program history, especially if/when he gets 44.

One thing I like about Lester's offense is that its flexible enough to play to a team’s strengths. Signing RW would likely move the needle toward a run focused offense utilizing the TE's on play action, which would keep the defense honest and allow us to continue to run the ball. With the amount of touches and subsequent yards RW would get RW has the potential to do some staggering things here on the hill. And knowing how the national media loves their stories, there is no way he would not be compared frequently to the Syracuse Greats! Brown, Little, Davis... Washington. National Media Attention + Setting Records + Local Legend Rebuilding a Program = Syracuse and only Syracuse. Come on RW you can't get this anywhere else!

 

[jekelish]

I've been thinking about the on field impact that Robert could have, and honestly, especially since he plans on enrolling early, he will have EVERY opportunity to make the 2-deep as a true freshman. I think he would rush for about 500 yards as a true frosh, and then take the starting job as a sophomore and put up about 1100. Follow that up with a junior year in which he rushes for 1300-1400, and you're looking at a kid who is either going pro early, or gonna be within reach of the all-time SU rushing record if he sticks around for his senior season.

 

[JrodCuse]

The more you look at it from all angles, the more it will be a head scratcher if he goes anywhere else. Thats without even thinking about 44. If you throw in 44...I mean c'mon. Potential history in the making.
