Class of 2020 WR Damien Alford (CN/FL) COMMITTED / SIGNED NLI TO SYRACUSE (12/8/2019)

[orangenauburn]

Huge, both literally and figuratively. 700 yards and 12 TDs in Florida and you can just throw it up to him when he’s covered. He might get PT as a true freshman.

Highlights -

Definitely four games

 

[OburgOrange]

3 but should be 4, offer list is ridiculous.

Where is the offer list?

Damn!

 

[Alsacs]

If that kid is a 3 star I want every recruit to be 3 stars like him.

Wow looks good. I thought of the old Ohio State WR David Boston or Bucs WR Mike Evans.

Dino has seen this enough

that he said, “I’ve got to get me one of those “

 

[Orijinal]

6'5", 6'5", 6'5"...just say it with me. And btw, this kid is NOT gonna be J Custis 2.0, and that's a good thing

Why do you say that?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Why do you say that?

He's saying he'll be more productive.

That's not the offer list of a three star player. Is he going to be an early enrollee?

 

[RMH44]

Why do you say that?

Because this kid appears to catch everything within his physical radius. Way better hands than Custis.

I get the feeling that his decision to reclassify to '20 may have led to some of the bigger name schools to start to cool on him. Dont get me wrong I really like his upside, and will absolutely take more of these situations, but had he remained in '21 we may have seen the bigger schools be more of a factor.

You know, I think closing out the season 2 and 1 was big in a case like this. I know we've been involved for a long time and it's not like this all happened overnight. But winning 2 of the last 3 lets the program put recruits at ease that the train is on the tracks. The staff can acknowledge that we didn't have the season we wanted, but we figured out what was wrong, fixed it, and saw better results and the future is still very bright.

15 P-5 offers, including: Florida, Oklahoma, FSU, Miami, Ped State, GA Tech, WVU, Tennessee ...
OK, Clemson, tO$U and Alabama were missing... but the existing offers aren't exactly shlit.

He picked SU over UVA in his only official visits. Methinks he was looking for playing time in an interesting offense. He chose wisely...

Big target. Hopefully Tommy will notice when he's open.

Also has a scheduled Kentucky OV next weekend which I assume he’ll cancel.
Nebraska offered him on November11.

This is the kind of guy that can help a poor OL. Just throw it up to him if they break through.

It just kills you doesn't it. You can't throw cold water on this.

This is incredible. Between him and Latarie these are 2 massive recruiting wins with offers that are crazy. Swag daddy is clutch

Honestly if I’m an assistant not named Monroe I’d feel guilty collecting a paycheck while he does all the heavy lifting.

Hey Cade, we have a shiny new 6'5 toy for you.

Alford may just help his decision a bit easier along with Mahar, Harris, Jackson and hopefully a healthy Hendrix.
