Read an interesting rumor on the UB fan boards.....

[orange_in_VA]

Apparently someone over there heard that Chad Kelly is coming to SU, because he couldn't qualify at Clemson. Has anyone else heard anything or even know if its possible? Thought we had higher admissions, but could be wrong.

Highly doubt it, but do you have a link?

 

[orange79]

Accepted at SU when he couldn't get in to Clempson? Hahahahahahaha

Edit: Not laughing at you per se, just the absurd notion that someone who could not get in to Clempson could get in to SU.

Was at Canisius High yesterday for a basketball game and overheard that Kelly is going to Syracuse. Did not hear why but someone mentioned he only scored a 720 on the SAT's. Can anyone confirm this?

 

[orange_in_VA]

Yes that's it, and obviously that's why I asked, I figured as much but who knows with all the articles I've read lately about SU accepting more applicants

Accepting more applicants doesnt mean accepting s like Kelly. He's not coming here.

 

[BlackKnight76]

If he doesn't get into Clemson there is no way SU's letting him in. And if he got a 720 on his SAT...holy crap. A good percentage of SU students can get 720s on one section of the SAT.

 

[IthacaBarrel]

I heard the same rumor the other day from a supplier I work with in buffalo, I don't it has any merit but funny how things circulate

 

[Cusefan78]

I heard this also. Let's be honest if he does come here and gets in he would be the best qb on the team hands down. I don't care what nfl draft experts are saying nassib is awful and wouldn't be allowed to hold the jock of an nfl qb let alone make a squad. I honestly don't care how dumb Kelly is, the guy is a player and i would welcome a big time recruit wanting to join our band of misfit toys on Marrone island.

I don't think Kelly's going to fare too well if he can't read a playbook.

Yeah because playing QB in HS in western NY is a good barometer of future NCAA D-1 success.

Can't get in at Clemson academically but will get into SU...lol lol. The only way he gets in is if Uncle Jim donates a bunch of money and helps towards building us a football complex. lol

Hey I hope you are right, but I wouldn't hold my breath

. I honestly don't care how dumb Kelly is, the guy is a player and i would welcome a big time recruit wanting to join our band of misfit toys on Marrone island.

I agree. Didn't Dan Marino score like a 16 on the Wonderlic, how well did he turn out?! lol

Hope this rumor is true but I'm not buying it yet.

 

[gocraz4dasu]

HAHAHAHA a 720. That is seriously pitiful. I have friends from high school whose brains are fried from drugs that just showed up hungover to the SAT's that scored more than that. That is sad. From my knowledge, the kid is a pompous so if we get him, cool, but if we lose out on him, I certainly won't shed a tear.

 

[Upstate]

I think I got a 720 on my SATs too. Nope, that was just the math section.

 

[OrangeAl]

So, if the scuttlebutt is true:
Poor character + poor academics = four star recruit, but not good for us
Just what we don't need

Hmmmm, wait a second. You may be on to something. Maybe Marrones starting to think outside the box.

 

[IthacaMatt]

Didn't seem to hold back Vince Young, who I believe scored the lowest score ever on the Wonderlick, or whatever they call their NFL IQ test.

 

[IHeartSUFball]

wow some of you amaze me...hes a big qb recruit and i'd b e esatic to get him even if this rumor is prob not true. If some of you want a precious 4 star and one with some character flaws has your panty in a bunch then what the hell are you looking for. We NEED him and IF we got him, would be a huge GET.

Well, I guess we will see how he does in Under Armour all star game on January 5th. Some people must feel he must have been chosen cause he's a Kelly.

Yep, that's exactly what this team needs. More character flaws than we already have. He'd come here and get arrested and that would be the end. But hey he's a 4 star recruit which is way more important.

Completely agree, from Buffalo, met the kid once or twice. Know a lot of kids who went to Joes when he first moved in. NOT ONE has a good thing to say about him. He seems arrogant and extremely selfish. He is a great athlete, no doubt but he just does not seem like a HCDM guy. idk could be way off. just my ramblings.

 

[kcsu]

Not good traits for a qb. I say pass. Time to give Kinder Hunt and B a chance
