Class of 2017 WR CJ Hayes (KY) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (1/20/22)

[DMDMD]

Jackson didn't have much better stats than this guy at MSU but he was also a top 150 recruit nationally coming out of high school and was never moved to another position. Makes me wonder about his hands.

He’ll be a good replacement for sharrod Johnson then

 

[orangemass]

Throw him into the mix. I like it

CJ,

Big boy

 

[AngryOtto]

Curious whether samuels reached out for Kansas.

This cuse player had 8 catches for 120 yards and a TD as a junior. Kind of reminded me of him-

Plus he was a phenomenal gunner on punts

 

[orangemass]

Is he still visiting?

 

[CuseLegacy]

Is he still visiting?

I would say so.

 

[rrlbees]

I would say so.

Next weekend?

 

[CuseLegacy]

Next weekend?

Probably before classes start.

From other sources, it sounds like he is definitely planning on playing at Cuse next year. This sounds like a done deal.

I look at it as an upperclassman who can definitely contribute on specials and if you catch lightning in a bottle at WR then even better.

But with our portal departures we definitely need help on specials so I’m on board. If he was moved to S at Mich St have to assume he’s fast and has some ability to tackle.

Only downside is I believe he only has 1 year of eligibility left.

Agreed. It’s a low risk high reward take, same with the Monmouth kid.

Yup.
Worst case with both - you get a ST's contributor, an experienced, physically mature dude for practices, and somebody who could crack the 2-deep, or at least push the other guys to do so.

Short of getting a 4* stud like Francois, these guys are better than any HS kid we could drum up at this late juncture.

And it's only for 1 year, so even if it doesn't pan out great, it's no biggie.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

He’s at the Dome tonight taking in the hoops game.

 

[SUFan44]

I would be surprised if he did not end up at SU.

Taking the portal to Pound Town.

Nice real nice

 

[UnknownOrange]

a very cool edit too! Son of a military man. I wonder if Dino worked that angle

 

[llandz]

OMG. He arrived with all of his belongings in a Uhaul as he didn't expect to leave Syracuse and came ready to move in.
I just want to say I love these new coaches.

 

[Frozen]

Committed to SU despite there being no WR coach. Works for me.
