Under-appreciated Players from Cuse Past

[jgeorge322]

Agree w lots of names on here but jameel riddle is one id like to add

 

[Toga]

Chuck Chulada

 

[OrangeDW]

Bruce Williams

The era when we were so bad that we couldn’t even try to return punts and just needed a guy who could catch them. SMH.

 

[SkyTopBus44]

All those '90s-era receivers are underrated. Jackson, Lowe, Daniel, Maddox, Turner (though his hands weren't the best, IIRC), Wilson, all those guys would've been #1 receivers on most of Marrone and Shafer's teams in the modern era.

Agreed, Pat Woodcock would have been high up there on those teams as well.

 

[Toga]

McIntosh brothers

 

[Cuseregular]

doug womack

 

[RF2044]

David Walker

 

[baggerbob]

doug womack

Knew he was running option no threat to pass, but so guick it usually worked.

 

[crales44]

Knew he was running option no threat to pass, but so guick it usually worked.

And he did the leap over a defender into the endzone back before it didn't win you a Heisman (cough, cough, Lamar Jackson).

 

[P Vasiloff]

John Dominick
David Bavaro
Rudy Reed

 

[NJCuse97]

McIntosh brothers

I'll give you Kyle

 

[NJCuse97]

Sant Sikand

I had a few interactions with Sant back in the day. He was a very funny guy.

 

[CapitalO]

Idris Price - Andre Baskin

 

[NJCuse97]

Ok so I'm thinking how does a kicker be underappreciated but the guy kicked and punted and did great at both. Did it in the NFL also. Then he went to Johns Hopkins med school and became a surgeon. Not your typical career path. Good choice. Dr. Patrick J. O'Neill | Patrick J. O'Neill, MD

He married Heather Chase, one of the best field hockey players we had in the 90's. When they split, she dated Casey Powell until a couple years ago I think.

His son just graduated HS and is headed to Utah to play lax (goalie). Another lost legacy (half kidding, I am not sure he is SU lax caliber).

Bruce Williams

Been reading through and just waiting to post this name. Good call.

 

[FreakTalksAboutSU]

We were lab partners in geology 101. Yes I took rocks for jocks because as a comm guy I had no interest at all in science lol.

 

[Nick44]

Not a single mention of Walter Reyes? He was under appreciated, sandwiched between three 4-star running backs in Mungro, Diamond Ferri and Rhodes. He was the best of all of them. RIP

 

[OburgOrange]

Doug Marrone

 

[Jake]

Terry Wooden. Blake Bednarz, Keith Mitchell.

 

[MadNY3]

Terry Wooden. Blake Bednarz, Keith Mitchell.

Keith Mitchell yes.

Wooden was recognized and Bednaraz was a highly recruited OL.

Macky
Dontae Strickland
DTs during coach P’s reign in general
Will Allen
And Barbers would say Eric Dungey

 

[NailstheCusefan12]

Max Suter

 

[DownTheField]

The one that keeps coming to mind is Paulus. He saved Nassib from a beating but it’s also kind of amazing that he started at QB for a D1 school after not playing for four years. He played pretty well too.

 

[cayugacuse]

Ted Gregory and one that has been mentioned I agree with...Rob Drummond.

 

[OrangeAl]

Best gunner in kickoff history. Fact.

There was a guy named Kaminsky who was an absolute madman at wedge busting, maybe in the '90s.

 

[OrangeAl]

Chuck Chulada

Now there's a name from the past. Mid-70's?
