Just wanted to let you know that Chris Bleich started 8 games at Florida during his redshirt Freshman year.

I think a distinction has to be made between high and low 3 star players instead of just calling all of them 3 stars. Guys like Jaylan Hornsby is a borderline 4 star player with multiple high major offers. He’s not in the same category as a lot of these Dino Babers 3 star recruits where many times Syracuse was the only power 4 offer. The recruiting sites don’t like giving guys 2 stars so they’ve kind of grouped 2 and 3 star players together.

Ben Labosse was not over valued . He left after COVID and went home to Canada . He was invited to NY Giants mini camp this year. While at Syracuse he was rated as one of the most talented DB’s at Syracuse.

Tell you what, Steven. You make a heck of a point here. Taking a second look, you mentioned the Giants invite. He's also playing in the CFL this year. His SU career was a little brief so I think I was a little clouded by that, but he's gone out there and made a career for himself in football. That's a misfire by me.

Tucker played like a 5 star as a junior but was more of a four star as a senior and is clinging to the NFL by his fingernails. After that sophomore year, I expected me. Was it his heart problem?

[@brentaxemedia]

Great question, Steve. When did that start to affect his play? They've been pretty quiet about that. I still give him 5 stars considering where he ended up in SU history.
