Team chatter 12-13

Dec 13, 2016

Gus Edwards is still eyeing a potential graduate transfer to either Rutgers or Syracuse -- it would give him the chance to be more of the main option at a program close to home. He is set to graduate in May and would not be required to sit out.

Courtel Jenkins is another name to monitor when it comes to a possible transfer. He would not be a grad transfer, but it appears he is seeking more playing time -- Rutgers is a rumored program as well.

Gerald Willis was grappling with the idea for declaring for the draft this season, but ultimately knew he doesn't have enough film yet. Source said he played the second half of the season with a torn meniscus as well.

A few bowl game suspensions for the freshmen crew is coming. None of the main contributors, though.

The sense in the locker room is that David Njoku is 100% gone to the NFL draft. He has given the team every indication that the bowl will be his final game as a Hurricane.

The Gerald Willis stuff is not surprising. He had been rumored to be out first chance, but it definitely hurts. If he, Norton and Mcintosh all leave next year, we're in some trouble for the following year.

Next cycle we going to need to recruit D-line like crazy too, along with WR and DB, 2018 is going to be a very important class cant strike out

Soooo good to hear! I was a little disappointed in his lack of burn at RB. I was also hoping to see him returning kicks (not punts) rather than our slowest WR.

Very excited about next season!

While McIntosh is a good player he is in no way close to coming out early. Norton I think could be a first rounder if he busts his butt in the offseason. Willis will be making an enormous mistake coming out and will receive a late round grade at best. He literally had no film and is small for his position.

Norton is no where near a first rounder either. None of those guys dominated a single game. They all show flashes and overall played well together but none just dominated.

Norton dominated the first 3 teams we played. You must not have been paying close enough attention. Or did you mean any team worth a ****?

Jenkins is a nose in a 3-4 Defense. For what they're trying to do, and how they want their DT to shoot the gaps, he's a terrible fit. Go back and watch the games this year, and spotlight him. He's dam near using the same technique the last coaching staff taught him.

I like Gus, but yea, I don't blame him for wanting to bounce. He looks the part, but not sure if he was ever Starting RB material in college. Now, he can develop into a **** of a pro RB, especially with a cold weather team, but it is what it is.

If I was Njoku, I would bounce too. I understand people say he should come back, but he's going to hit that combine and tear every test up. I guarantee he'll be at the top of every test at TE. He screams First rounder, but he'll go in the second, and that's about as high as it's going to get at TE.

A lot of the players on Defense were built to be a certain part in a terrible scheme, so It is what it is. Sidenote: Willis played on a torn Meniscus, Dam...that's tough as ****!

Gus will be a great fit at cuse. Rutgers is a loss cause, they are terrible

There will be plenty more gone

So does this mean we are going to sign a bigger class than expected?

Look for 28-30 in this class. Not sure what you were expecting

how is it going to be 28-30? we must be expecting some transfers because no one has committed in a while

That last question you asked. Those first 3 games dont count because that's expected.

We have about 25 scholarships without anyone transferring or leaving early for the draft. It's not going to be hard to get to 30 slot for incoming athletes.

20 commits now. Mcfarland, dean, edwards, slaton, herbert, conliffe, harley, and mckitty are all possibilities. Then you have possibly another DB and another wr or 2 from somewhere.

Thats your 28-30.

Perfectly fine with those moves

Dec 13, 2016

Not so concerned about Njoku. IMO he never really reached his potential. Sure on paper he's awesome...but on the field he's hands of stone.

How does Homer compare to Crippy? :cigar:

Trayone Gray will have say so in that

Lol thanks for the good laugh. He will never be a valuable contributor here at RB. I don't understand the infatuation with him.
