Do you remember?: Memories of Johnson, Flynn linger as duo preps for return - The Daily Orange - Sports
"He knows he's good, but he takes the time (for the fans)," Madden said. "He doesn't have to sit in Great Northern Mall for three hours (sic) signing autographs for no money. For him to do things like that and after he left Syracuse to come back … That, I think, defines what kind of athlete and what kind of person he is." That day, Johnson signed autographs for 30 minutes past his scheduled ending time.

The injury bumps Keita up on the depth chart, but if Jim Boeheim isn’t confident in what he can bring to the table at such an early point in his career, he could expand the guard rotation to include Mookie Jones as well as Dion Waiters while Kris Joseph slides to the four spot and one of Jackson or Melo anchors the big man spot. Whatever the case may be, Boeheim has options.

Up 13-9 with 0:55 seconds left over South Florida and in the victory running formation attempting to bleed the clock out? This is not Syracuse football. A false start while trying to run said clock out?

Syracuse football under threat!

What about C.J. Fair

to give a few minutes at the 4? I’m thinking moslty for the 2-3 games where Ted Higgins decides to blow his whistle 45 times and we need bodies. I haven’t heard if they were thinking about redshirting Fair, but isn’t he like 6’7"- 6’8"?

"Stop the run to earn the right to rush the passer"- great philosophy from new SU DLine coach Jimmy Brumbaugh.

I'd call him a long 3

But I’m sure he could be put at the 4 for a few minutes to give one of our bigs a breather.

I’d say the best thing for Dashonte would be the redshirt. It’s not that he couldn’t possibly spring into his sophomore campaign a la KrisJo (I’d be surprised if he did, but KrisJo really surprised me, too), but KrisJo got to build some confidence in the out of conference schedule first, and Dashonte wouldn’t get that luxury.

Other people look, Andy Rautins can SEE.

If Delone keeps it up...

He could end up our #3 in that list.

He’s averaging 100 yards a game at least but that might slow down in conference play, barring injury, and Bailey getting more carries to keep him fresher.

Those stats, while basically accurate, should also take into account the number of carries they got as well – that really shows how balls to the wall good they were, case in point with Wrnie Davis- I thought to myself how could Delone Carter, a middle of the road running back on a chronically underperforming team get more yardage than our most revered all star linebacker? I guess time and no one else pulling their weight the last 3 seasons!
