Better Late Than Never, Jason Bromley Commits To Syracuse

According to The Score's Danny Parkins, Flushing High School DE Jason Bromley will play for the Orange this season. Bromley is coming off what might be described as "a pretty good day" at the Empire Challenge.
His spot on the all-city team beget his spot on the New York City roster for the Outback Steakhouse Empire Challenge, where Bromley won the MVP award with a magnificent performance Tuesday night in NYC’s 15-10 win against Long Island at Hofstra. Bromley had two sacks and seven tackles, including three for a loss, as well as two passes batted down. He was nary unstoppable.
Remember how incoming SU QB John Kinder was bummed out over his performance in the game? Well that was all Bromley.
Bromley had a huge sack of Syracuse-bound quarterback John Kinder to help stop Long Island’s final drive. His pressure of Kinder led to a first-half interception by Mario Tull. He lived in the offensive backfield all game.
"Bromley did an unbelievable job in there, man," NYC defensive coordinator and Tottenville head coach Jim Munson said. "He gave them hell. He knocked down two passes. They couldn’t block him when we had an inside rush."
So all of this begs the question...if this guy is so good, how come nobody wanted him until now? A lot of it might have had to do with his football team, only in it's third season back after disappearing. Other than that, you're guess is as good as mine. He received interest from Stony Brook but felt "like they didn’t want me at the time." Syracuse, Rutgers and UConn reportedly showed some interest but no offers were ever made.
All's well that ends well and there's thoughts that Bromley could be good enough to compete for playing time soon. Not too shabby for a guy who almost spent the year at prep school in New Hampsire.

Booyah!
The recruiting train never stops under HCDM. Gotta love it!

Would be interesting
To see a comparison of the number of 2011 commits we have now as compared to the summer before Year 2 of the GRE as well as their respective ratings. Granted that verbal commitments are non-binding and each one is news since there’s little else sports-wise going on right now, but it certainly FEELS like HCDM and his staff are out there doing serious work this summer.

according to scout
Greggers had 4 commits by this time in 2006 (Mike Williams, ARob, Kimmel, Hrinya). HCDM has 10. So yeah, Doug is kicking Greggers ass once again. And speaking of ass-kicking, I hear Doug is taking the coordinator position over that department 2010. Every team needs a good AKC.

Recruit rankings
The thing is that Greggers had a bunch of three/four star recruits, but a ton of them never qualified academically or otherwise disappeared. They never even got a chance to be kicked off the team by HCDM for poor attitudes.
Who knows how it will all turn out, but I have to think continuing to get hard working, character type guys will pay off big time in the long run – not to mention the benefits of all the ground work being laid with camps, high schools relationships, etc in NY, NJ, PA and FL.
yeah
You are spot on. Just take a look at the depth chart and you’ll see plenty of positions where former 2 star recruits are starting over 3-4 star guys. I’m not saying the star system is totally wrong, just that the lower rated guys seem to pan out just as frequently as the higher rated guys.

Oh that would be alllllllll right

Looks like HCDM's recruiting angle is offer early.....
and offer athletes. Guys with size, speed, agility, and we’ll worry about a position for them when they get to Cuse/camp.
I know we make light on this board about the recruiting battles with Akron, Bowling Green, and the directional Michigans/floridas, but most of the guys that HCDM brought in last year ended up playing REAL WELL. If we can start the season 4-1 or GASP 5-0 (hey you never know) then the train should start picking up steam recruiting wise.
Cant wait for Football season.
From a NY Daily News story
There are exceptions. At 6-4 and 235 pounds, Bromley is one of Flushing’s bigger players. He’s also seemingly one of the most talented gridders in the city.
DeSantis said the senior visited Penn State on Saturday, has received looks from UConn and Rutgers and has been offered a scholarship by Stony Brook.
“He’s the man,” DeSantis said.
From NY Daily News
In the article it talks about how all these kids are new to football. This is the kind of kid we need. An unheralded, under the radar diamond in the rough type much like Jason Pierre-Paul at USF.
and on the scout board, it says he impressed at the Rutgers Big Man Camp
nice
I have a feeling Bromley could be one of the best players no one ever heard of coming out of HS. Either way, its nice to add some depth to the roster.
