Class of 2022 WR Donovan Brown (MD) SIGNED NLI TO SYRACUSE 12/15/21

[Dmcnabbrules]

Let us not forget that 2020 was a crazy year. Looks like his high school only played two games in the spring. There were no camps last summer either. There are thousands of good players who will be seniors this year who haven’t even played a varsity game yet. Is this kid good? I have no idea but if the staff saw him in person I think they have a pretty good idea.

His school really didn't have a season last year because of covid. Maybe we should wait and see how much he blows up his senior season. I'll make sure to let y'all know.

Lmao. Jordan Anthony runs similar 100m and better 200m in HS than Trayvon Bromell did. Anthony is other worldly fast but Brown is still properly quick.

Per his twitter bio
d(M)v state champ in the 100-200-400

Track speed is nice barometer for sure and would rather have it Vs not BUT some kids also run slower in pads and some as fast or faster as well. I trust the coaches whatever the end result at any rate

I think Cuse generally has had a good hit rate with unknown guys they got to see in person. If a solid position coach like Samuel sees something then I will trust it.

Well at the very least you’ll definitely get one thing right - he’s certainly unknown.

Going to be a lot of swings and misses this year due to COVID but also a lot of pleasant surprises, too. I expect a lot of heavy recruiting action this fall as guys suit up again and some gems get discovered. Huge advantage to seeing kids in person and working out. Seems unlikely it'd be a plan d at this point -- that's a huge stretch given timing and what's happened over past 18 months with COVID.

good point. And after our WR haul last year I don't think we're exactly handing out offers yet to D Listers. (and not all offers are created equal.) We'll see who gets official offers pretty soon.

Should be seeing written offer posts on Sunday, 8/1.

Thought the same. Our staff has a pretty good track record of identifying kids earlier than other programs too. So I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt on this one.

Well, that was a nice catch for a track star

Sadly, Jordan Anthony would toast this kid in a 100m race. Ugh, another plan b, c, d.

Plan b, c, d, in Sept.? That isn't the way it works. They see a big kid that runs fast. We should take shots at kids like this.

In all fairness the recruiting cycle timeline has moved up dramatically. September used to still be relatively early in the cycle. It isn’t now. A number of programs are virtually done recruiting for this class. That was never the case 10 years ago.
