Shafer says Raymon has kept body weight down while recovering from knee injury. Eskridge (finger and hip) will be held out of contact

Oh whoops didn't see you had the Ivan Foy nugget in here. Mods can you delete my other thread?

Shafer says whigham had a strong winter. Batten move to linebacker not necessarily permanent but saw opportunity to earn playing time.

Shafer said foy is completely separated from program except for academic support.

 

[LeMoyneCuse]

I'm assuming Knapp on the OLine means the injured Robinson is Nick, not Micah.

Bullough: "you can't anoint leaders. They have to grab it and take it." He mentioned Crume, Lynch, Eskridge

We speculated for awhile that Batten could (or would) move to Defensive End. I'm a bit suprised by linebacker. He must be a lot lighter than originally thought?

X, thanks for posting all of these updates.

Not surprised by Trudo to C.

 

[RICuse44]

I am surprised though that Knapp is inside. Would think that Miller or Hayes would be serviceable enough at RG. I could see Lasker taking over RT with the increased time.

Or Palmer.

Re: Lasker--I think he's probably a more natural RT, but I have to say that factoring in the growing pains, he did a pretty darn good job filling in at LT when Hickey got knicked up. Lasker has two more years, right?

The Trudo slide makes sense. Palmer was the first interior lineman off the bench last year. Then gives you palmer-trudo-robinson as G-C-G. Hickey at LT. RT would be Lasker's for the taking- yes, he will be a junior next year. Backups then Knapp, Foy, and then would expect someone else to emerge this spring.

Syracuse football team suspends Ivan Foy for academics, hopeful he'll be available for season

Syracuse football position changes: PJ Batten moves from tight end to linebacker

Syracuse football: Nick Robinson, Durell Eskridge among those out for spring with injuries

I think this Spring will solidify Hodge locking up the starting MIKE job.

Wasn't Batten supposed to be a Vernon Davis clone?

Going to be interesting to see if Foy is able to work his way back into the rotation, we all saw how deep Funderburke got buried in the dog house. Could be a huge blow seeing how well his development has come.

Agree. From what I've heard, I'll be shocked if Hodge isn't starting in the middle next year. Hear he's making some pretty good gains in the weightroom as well. He seems to be gaining some *good* weight.
