No reason to think he isn't. Kids have to submit transcripts to Babers staff before visits now. So hopefully this means les non-qualifiers down the line

Wish they would put some art up in the new practice facility. Those walls look bare!

Three-star safety Devon Clarke commits to Syracuse
Devon Clarke, tried to commit to Syracuse over the summer with the old staff in place. They did not accept his commitment, however, and he was forced to look at other options. One of those options was Bowling Green, with Nick Monroe as his primary recruiter.
Fast forward a a few months and Monroe is now at Syracuse as part of the new coaching staff. Clarke, once again, committed to Syracuse and this time it was accepted, Clarke and a source told Scout. The big 6-foot-3 safety pulled the trigger during his official visit over the weekend. He committed to coach Babers during dinner Sunday evening.
Clarke has been one of the prospects that is the most excited about the possibility of playing at Syracuse, generating a lot of support amongst Orange fans. Now he is set to become a part of the program.
In addition, the three-star safety informed Scout he is done taking visits.
Clarke is the second safety prospect to commit to Syracuse in the 2016 class, joining fellow Sunshine State product Scoop Bradshaw. Bradshaw, however, has the ability to play corner if needed. Clarke, however, is a long, rangy defensive back who gives the Orange some size in the secondary.
"He's one of the most lengthiest defensive backs I've seen in this year's class," Scout recruiting analyst Corey Bender said. "When he's in his stance, his arms go past his knees. Very lengthy kid. He's a hard worker who wears his heart on his sleeve. Very competitive kid with good awareness and is very instinctive. He gets his hands on a lot of balls with his length. He's a legit 6-foot-3 and is real disrputive in the secondary.
"He does a good job reading and reacting. He has a lot of length and range."

I'm talking in general.
Also his obsession with Drake is much worse than I imagined.
But hey he's our OC, and as long as the kids and recruits love him, so will we, crazy videos and all.

Watch his senior tape and he goes up for a ball that I though the receiver was going to get and out of nowhere these long arms and hands reach up and intercepted the ball. I said holy crap, how did he reach up that high. Yes those arm are definitely very very long.

I agree. This makes the old staff's refusal to take him even stranger.

Each recruit is their own separate entity, each staff has their own philosophy... Sometimes you'll hit, sometimes you'll miss, neither of which have happened yet, nor will for some time.
The separate recruitments of this kid aren't the same circumstances either.
Because one staff liked Harper and one didn't, and vise versa with Clarke means nothing, there are so many variables we know nothing about unless it was posted on Twitter or in a recruiting article. The reasons a staff has will never be known to a fan base 99.5% of the time.

Congrats to Devon, who was really patient and finally got rewarded for it.
I really like his tape. It will be nice to have a big hitter at safety again. He covers a lot of ground, tackles really well and looks solid in coverage too. Might play right away for us; he brings things to the table our existing safeties do not.
