RALPH COTRAN05/06/2015 SYRACUSE FOOTBALL HAVING SUCCESS IN THE RECRUITING GAME
Syracuse University f o o t b a l l o 鍖 e n s i v e c o o rd i n a t o r G e o rg e McDonald and director of recruiting Eric White have been delivering to their Twitter fans.
Exclamations such as BOOM! and #BeBold have been used to announce the a new a new verbal commitment from a prospect to play football at SU, the Post-Standard reports.
These exclamation are not unwarranted apparently. So far, Syracuse has earned itself commitments from 25 recruits the highest at this point in the recruiting cycle since the statistic started being tracking 2002.
The 2015 Syracuse recruiting class is ranked 28th currently by Rivals.com and 43rd by Scout. McDonald has roots in Florida and has had a great deal of success so far with securing commitments from that area, with seven players thus far.
The high school football programs in that state have been shown to be strong recruiting grounds and having success there could prove invaluable for SU this season.
This in鍖ux of recruits so early in the cycle should allow the SU coaching sta鍖 to start looking ahead at 2016 and developing a long game.
The coaching sta鍖, under the direction of McDonald, has made targeting players that 鍖t the teams philosophy and approach to play a top priority, and this could explain much of this early success in in recruiting.
I think having a lot of guys on board shows the commitment that weve made to recruiting and recruiting the right players, but it also shows from a university standpoint that were doing something right and we have a lot of excitement across the country, McDonald said.
McDonalds excitement here is also not unwarranted. By any fair metric, Syracuses 7-6 鍖nish in 2013 was quite an accomplishment for the teams 鍖rst season in the ACC combined with the fact that they were being led by a 鍖rst-year coaching sta鍖.
Head coach Scott Scha鍖er has said that he aims to win 8 this season, a number that would certainly validate the new recruits and give credence to McDonalds strategies.
Thank you
