One very noticeable thing about this class so far. No smurfs.

Good observation.

I dont think Tyler is his brother. I looked at his page a week ago and didnt see any pic's of them together. I also saw a picture of when Landon's sister committed for basketball and he wasnt in it.

You’re correct, they’re not brothers & are most likely unrelated. Landon is transferring in this year after moving from IN. Tyler played for Nazareth last year.

Recruiting notebook: Nazareth adds three transfers, Phillips pair commits, new Rivals rankings

Three talented receivers have transferred to Nazareth to play with Michigan recruit JJ McCarthy, the state’s top quarterback.

“That’s for sure: Sophomore Tyler Morris is a returning starter at receiver from the state championship team, and the Roadrunners have added two more junior transfers besides Landon Morris in Tanner Koziol from Lake Park and Billy O’Malley from Hinsdale Central.”

Now it gives me a reason to see Nazareth play in Chicagoland. Nice pick up by the Cuse!

dude, there's a Nazareth concert in the Chicagoland area? awesome

where in Illinois do you live, Jet? I have probably asked you in the past, but i am too senile to remember

Congrats Landon,

I hope this Morris is as impactful to the program as Lil Joe was.

 

[Orangezoo]

Really nice get. Love having these guys who can go up and get it. Huge asset for a QB. Overall the WR and TE room looking a lot more like the big boys.

 

[CA Monk]

Dang. Pulling guys from all over the map. New recruiting wind blowing.

 

[Ozone!]

Landon, welcome to the Cuse football family!!!

 

[P Vasiloff]

Another excellent pickup by the Syracuse University Football Coaching/Recruiting Staff. This young man will fill out and help out in the run game as a blocker and the passing game as a big rangy target. Congratulations young Mr. Morris on your choice of Syracuse University Football. Sign your Syracuse University Football NLI in December and then arrive ready to help Syracuse Football take the ACC and beyond. Go Landon Morris, Go Orange!!!!!!!!!

Can’t. Teach. Size

 

[sutomcat]

Does Gilbert incorporate TE more in his “style “ of offense that would incent Morris to come in as a TE?

I would say yes. When Sterlin was with Dino at EIU, as his OC, he threw a lot to new SU assistant coach Jeff Lepak, a very similar player at 6’6 230 lbs. Had 81 catches and over 700 yards receiving in two years as a hybrid TE/WR under Gilbert.

I was thinking that after our last commit as well. This class will definitely pass the eye test off the bus. Now can they translate that to the field is the question. But I’ll gladly take big, fast, tough kids over undersized, slow dudes any day.

So - cousins then?

Can’t. Teach. Size

That’s what she said?

 

[CA Monk]

While it’s true you can’t teach size, you can’t teach handsome either.
Also held offers from Michigan, Iowa State and Chippendales. The competition was stiff...so to speak.

 

[sutomcat]

his school is one of the best programs in Illinois, so that makes me feel good too, welcome!

They made it to the state championship, where they lost to Mount Carmel (Donovan McNabb’s alma mater). Their QB is going to Michigan. They had a lot of talent.

Good info...thanks.

They've been doing a good job with these recruiting profiles, which is good since it's basically the only thing to cover right now

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Welcome, Mr. Morris.

 

[Trueblue25]

Excited to see the TE role evolve moving forward.

TD has the arm to light up the middle given the opp

 

[hoopsupstate]

SU is really recruiting size. All these Kids have a chance to get much bigger physically. It’s good to see players much taller Than what we were recruiting 5-6 years ago.
