That's a good read.

Lou what is Seminole nation's thoughts on the kids that decommited last minute yesterday?

 

[Entropic]

I think everyone here would be satisfied if Alin can play as well as Teddy much more surpass him.

Lou, you guys just lost a backup QB too right? Did you guys take another QB in the class ?? I haven't gotten a chance to look at your class yet...

Another reason I like Bridgewater.

Thanks, Teddy!

I was telling my wife this the other day. To us snow is shoveling, scraping the car off, crazy driving conditions, cold - but to a kid who has never seen it? It's a novelty. Plus these kids won't have to deal with it as much as we do.

Great article that puts it in perspective when kids decide to leave home.

That’s when Edouard saw something he had never seen before. Snow. Snow on the ground. Snow covering cars. Snow streaming out of the sky.

He stood at that window for a while and smiled.

He was a long way from sunny Miami — in miles and temperature — but it was new, and he liked it.

Said Edouard: “When I saw that snow coming out of the sky something inside of me was just saying that the future here holds great things.”

That's true. Someone does all of the shoveling and snowblowing for them. Sure makes it a lot easier to live with.

man I love these kids in this year's class. And I'm pretty sure they're going to do one hell of a job selling SU to the next waves of recruits during their tenure on the hill.

"Teddy was someone who was telling me what was best for me, not anybody else. All he ever says to me is that he wants me to be better than him.

“And going away from home could allow me to do that.”

That is what every kid going through the process needs. All the coaches and recruiters in the world will tell the kid that joining them is whats best, but a guy with no dog in the fight, can help the kid really evaluate things and determine the best stuff for him.

Thats awesome that Bridgewater did that, and doubly awesome that we were best for Alin.

Good story, I'd like to read more like that.

Snow as a recruiting tool?

Snow as a recruiting tool?

I always wondered that. Do they take players to do wintery things (sledding, ice skating, skiing, etc.)?

Me, too. These kids all seem like high character leaders with good heads on their shoulders. I can't even count the number of articles I read yesterday about signees who talked about how they weighed the academic opportunity instead of just focusing on football.

It's going to be really easy to root for these kids.

There's snow place like 'Cuse!

Well, Shafer did throw a snow ball at Ishaq if I remember correctly

In Syracuse, our sunshine comes in flakes.

To paraphrase Boeheim in a football context, to Florida recruits:

"Here in Syracuse, you're playing football indoors nine months of the year, and the rest of the time you're roasting your asses off in that miserable flat ugly furnace of a state you call home."
