Trishton Jackson declares for the NFL Draft

[CuseLegacy]

That's an accurate, sensible and completely sterile statement I guess.

DeVito is going to need to find some good receivers if he has any hope of turning pro. And SU would need to win 7-8 games next year for that to happen. That’s highly unlikely.

Dude, What has happened to you?

What??

Nothing has happened.

I thought the ceiling on wins last season was 7.

They won 5.

Before Jackson’s decision, I figured 5-7 again next year. I’ll stay with that.

Well crap I was ready to move on from the Buffalo talk nonsense. Suddenly I miss it.

 

[Shark58]

good luck and good luck

Sometimes I wonder if this doesn't work the opposite though. In a year loaded with WRs do you see a bunch taken off the board early too? In that case the run on WRs can work to the advantage vs the opposite for TJ. In a weaker year teams are also looking elsewhere for draft needs and basically looking to free agency to pluck from the weaker positions.

Early? No. You're going to see a lot of good WRs go second and third day. If you're projected as a late round draft pick, you might get undrafted as a whole because teams can pick and choose when they want a WR.

Good job. Your twitter tea leaf reading was spot on.

Has he graduated? If so, I guess we can be thankful he went this route instead of the grad transfer route.

 

[upperdeck]

Little effect on the team? Um...what?

this team wins and loses on the line play.. he played well but if the oline doesnt block the WRs dont get open an we fail as a team. this system has produced WR play ever yr. I expect it will again

I thought he might stay to be with Tiana:


Are they still together? Is she leaving? or maybe he feels the need to make money and get health insurance for her?

I thought they broke up in October or November

A) Would hate to see my relationships public to millions. Lord knows how I would handle that at age 22.

B) Who said he has graduated? Do we know that he has with certainty? He’s entering his eighth semester as a college student. Not easy to do, even with summer courses.

C) This is not a small loss. Our receivers were average last year and he was the best, probably by a lot. Whether that’s because One-Side DeVito locked in on him all the time is anyone’s guess. But we need to hope 2 or 3 newcomers step in and are ready immediately.

We badly need a talented grad transfer.

He hasn't appeared in her Twitter feed for some time now.

I guess I should have asked his family member when I read this thread. Really nice guy though

From my SU football preview last fall, (the receivers are the second part):

My 2019 SU Football Preview Part III: The Players QB & Receivers

It seems like we've got plenty of size and talent there. Most of these guys haven't really gotten their shot yet because of who is ahead of them. and our tight ends turned out to be a formidable pair to say the least. If we get a good grad transfer fine. But if we don't, I think 2-3 of these guys are going to make their mark next year.

Someone just saw their grades...

He's graduating. Grades don't matter anymore.

First: Say what? I'm glad Trishton came to SU, but he's not getting drafted

Second: This is a joke, right? Somebody tell me this is a hallucination

Third: Like someone else said, maybe Trish gets a chance in the XFL and makes some money there. If so...okay

Fourth: I say this matter of factly, and not with any ill ...Taj Harris will be a better number one than Trishton ...so it makes me scratch my head even more at this decision

This post sounds way more harsh than I mean it to be. Just flabbergasted. I hope Trishton excels and laughs in my face. That would be just fine by me

 

[Scooch]

Hope he does well in the pros. Gave us a good year.

Time for one of Dino’s multitude of WR recruits to step up. If we need a grad transfer in year 5 at wide receiver, we’re doomed.

As someone posted, the number of grad transfer receivers is extremely thin. I checked it myself. I’ll be surprised if we go that route. We just have to hope for the best. It’s probably going to have to be Harris and a committee of receivers. Doubtful anyone currently on the team can come close to matching Jackson’s numbers.

I am not sure I am as high on Taj as you are. What in his game makes you think that? I see Taj as very inconsistent and not because of TD. I think allot of people are remembering a couple nice plays he had over final couple games. I think he can be a nice #2/#3 on the field but he doesn’t scream #1 leading talent or leader to me from what I have seen. Maybe I wasn’t seeing something though. I will certainly say once the ball is in his hands his efforts seem better, becomes a “scrapper” so to speak. A little Phil McConky ish in that regard. A #1 though? Not sure.

It was always assumed recruiting wouldn’t be where it should until year 7 and the offense would start playing fast in year 8.

So you are scout too? You seem to know everything there is to know in both sports.
