Trishton Jackson declares for the NFL Draft

[qdawgg]

Will sack numbers increase next year as TD looks for Trish each play and doesn’t see him?

I’m kidding(ish)

 

[Killdozer]

Good for Trishton, hope he hooks up with a team. He will not get drafted but could be a scout player. No need to hang around SU if your heart is not into it.

From everything I have heard regarding Jackson, this isn't too surprising. Despite that, I was still hoping he would be back. While I do think it hurts, I don't think it hurts THAT much. If the line play is at least consistently average we will have another receiver play just as well as Jackson did. Jackson is a 6th round receiver, at best, in this class (more likely undrafted). This is projected as the best receiver class in a decade, so he's not doing himself any favors leaving early this year, but I don't think he would have improved significantly over this off-season. He is what he is at this point.

I wish Trishton well but I'm excited to see who steps up because I personally think we have some talent that's been buried at the receiver position.

In October he was still with her, and they were very close. I could find out, but it is not really my business. Another way to think of this is that he saw what happened with Tiana, and had the epiphany that you never know what can happen, so take your chances when you can. Yes, I believe he is graduating. No he does not need to get her health insurance. She is cancer free, and almost done with everything. She has insurance. She is a student at SU. She is covered. So no, no and no to above posts. Even if he plays in the CFL he gets to do what he loves and gets paid. Will I miss him, yes. Will the team miss him, probably. He and Devito had good communications as opposed to other receivers. It would have been nice to build on that. But Devito should be ready for his leap and of course we have my favorite AZ player Jawhar, and Jarveon was showing really good things. So that should help open up the passing game also. Good rushers help.

Nothing to judge. Not our life.

thats what I was getting at

 

[TheCusian]

Every year we have posters worried about WR, and every year under Dino it’s been a worry we wasted time on

worry about the hippos

 

[kcsu]

Best of Luck 86!

 

[mountaincuse]

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

She had a (soon after deleted) Twitter post a couple months ago that basically called him out.

As a fan, bummer he is leaving but wish him the best of luck in achieving his athletic dreams.

 

[BKCuse]

i wouldn’t think he’d be drafted (I hope I’m wrong) and it seems like another season could def help his stock but I never fault a college athlete from making the choice to try and get paid for his services.

But I’m sorry to see him leave the program. I think he could’ve had a big year with improved QB /OL play

It's only twitter but her tweets and retweets in November seem directed at someone in particular.

I'll always wish the player the best of luck, no different with Trishton. Thank you very much for calling 'Cuse home and hope you do very well in the future.

Losing this type of player before their eligibility expired used to bother me, but, everything is cyclical and he'll be replaced. I'm not concerned, we'll pick up that production from another individual or multiple individuals.

I'm more worried about the growth of the OL and the defense stiffening. We have more than enough skill players to spread the ball to.

 

[cuse10]

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

Taj Harris is not better than Trishton and the post is harsh. Who knows what's going on in his life right now? This came out of nowhere and no one expected this. I hope he's getting the right advice.

As they used to say on WNDR 1260 radio -"The hits keep right on coming"

 

[Newhouser]

Wish him luck but don't think he is irreplaceable and the fact that he is being seen as that big a loss speaks volumes about our program. He's a good player but IMHO he wasn't as good as Sales or Amba. Next man up.

Spell it out

My initial take was this: curious decision, as I think (like others have said) that he is not ready. He could get himself ready next year. But rather than make that reasonable investment in himself, he chooses to depart and take his chances early. Why? Because he sees things that suggest he won't make that improvement here, next year. Offensive coaching, line play, QB play, the whole enchilada. Bad enough that he is willing to make a hugely risky move and strike out on his own prematurely.

I have read a couple things since that suggest there are other personal factors involved, but I am still concerned.

Exactly, in our 10 win season we weren’t sure how we were going to get the ball around to everyone. Unfortunately there was some regression for multiple reasons but the defense and OL play are much larger potential issues/question marks than the WR depth chart.

 

[cusefan88]

A cohesive and healthy OL will help mitigate this loss. Nykeim Johnson was a total non-factor this year. I expect that to change. I also hope Taj puts on 15-20lbs because he can be another NFL guy. He has to want it and work for it.

 

[Trueblue25]

It seems like Trishton talked this through with coaches, family, teammates and friends.

we have no idea what circumstances/words pushed him to choose the draft. Knowing how close he is with the team, I wish him well.

Hopefully this proves to be true. But with our offense and the lack of star power, we can’t simply discount the loss of a player of Jackson’s quality.

 

[upperdeck]

when Amba was here he forced teams to double over the top with the safety. teams rarely worried about safety help on any WRs the last couple of yrs. he was very productive but he had only 5 games with over 100 yds. Amba had 7 and almost 500 yds more

This 100%, Jackson had some flaws but he would have been huge next year. Now we have to see if its one or two starting WR's departing this off-season.

Yeah, and many will continue to use the Next Man Up line.

 

[Trueblue25]

Honest question, do we know anything about Russel Thompson Bishop’s development?

 

[orange79]

Yeah, and many will continue to use the Next Man Up line.

Well, there's really no alternative, other than to play 10 on 11.
