Who wins the job as the #1 back-up at linebacker? This competition likely features second-year linebacker Doug Hogue battling rookie Tahir Whitehead, both of whom were solid in OTA’s and mini-camp. Hogue could hold the advantage, since he has a year’s experience in the Lions defense. That #1 back-up job is important – remember, that’s the role that was held by Bobby Carpenter last season, before he signed in the off-season with the New England Patriots.

The Boise State article is not comforting. If Boise State remains in the MWC, and Syracuse does not reach agreement with BE soon about leaving by July '13, 'Cuse could be in the BE until July '14.
Interestingly, no one has commented on the Pitt law suite recently. And importantly, there has been not a word about 'Cuse preparing to move by July' 13.

Anyone know what is going on...and why it seems like 'Cuse is being too soft on this move?

Great quotes in the NYpost article:

“Syracuse is the face of New York for college football,” said the hard-hitting Morgan, who led E-Hall to the PSAL City Championship division finals in December and was an All-City first team selection by The Post. “They’re getting every top player. Hopefully the young guys keep the trend going.”​

Last year’s team had 10 players from the city and the Orange is high on the list of top Class of 2013 recruits Ebenezer Ogundeko of Thomas Jefferson, Laray Smith of Xaverian and Augustus Edwards of Tottenville.​

O’Connor credits Anselmo and Marrone as understanding the city player as local products themselves. They try to target the best players early on, let them experience the process while remaining close with them.​

“[Alselmo] connects with the players,” Morgan said. “He doesn’t just talk, he tells you the truth, not what you want to hear. That’s what I wanted.”​

In past years, many top players from the city and Long Island haven’t played in the Empire Challenge to prevent possible injury or because summer classes have already begun. Syracuse, on the other hand, encourages its recruits to compete.​

“It promotes the Syracuse name,” said Anselmo, a Long Island product who previous coached at elite JUCO Nassau Community College. “Other high school players see we’ve taken these kids, and if I’m one of the best players on Long Island or New York City, I want to follow these guys.”​
