Class of 2024 RB Yasin Willis (NJ) COMMITTED / SIGNED NLI TO SYRACUSE (12/10/23)

[tep624]

Huge LQA fan but I think he will be a very good 4 year college RB. He doesn't have that extra gear needed to play in the NFL.

Keep bringing in the talent. They can sort it out themselves.

 

[CuseLegacy]

Something also to consider…

Pitt fired their OC. The guy Yasin expected to play for is gone. He has no idea who Narzuzzi is going to hire and what scheme they will play. Same thing with their RB coach.

Meanwhile, we just hired an OC who is one of the most respected RB coaches in the NFL, and who coaches the best RB to come out of the Northeast in decades. And our OC will also coach the RBs.

As an aside, the Pitt board is having an interesting discussion on possible OCs. A number have Syracuse backgrounds.

Dave Warner
Chris Bellamy
Sean Lewis
and
Dino Babers.

Agree. He is a warrior though.

Yup, I saw a podcast mentioning Babers as a possibility for OC about 5-6 days ago. Thought it was a joke. Maybe not.

 

[Etown]

Please commit!

At least he wouldn’t have to manage a clock or timeouts. So a step in the right direction.

 

[Wrinkle]

The COVID year offense was possibly the worst I've ever seen assembled on a football field. Who in their right mind would hire Dino

 

[sutomcat]

Good times for Western Carolina alums!

Son of Kerwin Bell, who is the WCU HC.

Supposed to be a bright mind. I have confidence Narduzzi will screw him up with overrides.

 

[Cusefan69]

Back to Willis. Would be a great pickup for Fran and again add another seemingly strong asset to the offense side of the ball. Which is huge as Fran goes big game hunting for a QB.

Mention of Willis in this article

 

[TheHaze315]

Was mentioned by someone on another board, he’s now taken “Pitt commit” out of his bio aswell. Looks like he’s all orange.

If that does come to pass, Willis and Hornsby will be a heck of a start to recreating our offensive talent

 

[tep624]

Yasin…..

 

[hoopsupstate]

We’ve said for years we haven’t been able to recruit offensive talent. Hornsby changes that and if you add Willis, WOW! There’s still other receivers that may commit too.

Wow...he definitely did and deleted the other pic/edit he had of him in Pitt stuff.

He also liked a Tweet from I assume a Syracuse fan telling him to join Hornsby.

Taking a stud rb from pitt would be frantastic...I'd like it almost as much as getting to punch Jamie Dixon's ugly mug during his Pitt basketball days.

Mr. Slickbackhairdouchebag was always off-putting.

When I first read this, I thought you were talking about Riley Dixon almost punching the LSU defender.

 

[Jcuse_44]

He will be the next to commit on social media. Mark it down.

Mark May
Craig Heyward
Kenny Pickett
James Conner
Israel Abanikanda

That said, I hope he flips to SU.
