Syracuse Football: Sensing Our Encroachment, Alabama Buys Stamps

I'm sure you've seen the story of the football recruit Alvin Kamara, who received 105 letters from the Alabama Crimson Tide to come play for them. I skimmed it initially and didn't realize that there's a Syracuse Orange connection.
Kamara, who rushed for 1,500-plus yards in 2011, is a solid all-around back known for his exceptional speed. He received his first offer last fall from Syracuse.
Quick off the draw, Cuse. Nice! Of course, our plan to just hope that no one else notices a four-star talent in the heart of SEC country might not have been a sound one. Alabama and Syracuse are two of the nine schools that have offered to the RB.
While it might be a foregone conclusion to think the Orange are out of the race, I'd like to remind you that Tyrone Wheatley is involved. And don't you dare ever give up on Tyrone Wheatley.
"Right now, I don't have any leaders, but I'll say a few schools stand out a little bit," Kamara said. "Alabama, Georgia and Syracuse. Recruiting wise, they stay in touch with me the most.
"Coach [Bryan] McClendon at Georgia stays in touch with me; Coach [Tyrone] Wheatley at Syracuse keeps in touch with me."
Tyrone, you know what to do now. 105 letters? Forget that....105 DAILY VISITS!

like an envelope full of cash?
Well this situation made me think of a well penned letter
but Im sure I could slip a 5 in there like grandma used to
May Doug Marrone bless you and keep you.
Never commit early to Alabama
That means you like them, and thus, they are more likely to grey-shirt you since you won’t decommit from it.
I read somewhere bama has landed over 110...
4 and 5 star recruits since saban took over, that is absolutely insane. We could go back 20 years and may not have that many.
You keep chanting one more year, I thought college was four years

If I got 105 letter I’d ask them to take me off their list.

Thing is, he'll sit the bench in Alabama...
They had the countries best RB recruit last year… they just signed the best RB in the country this year, and have a bunch of 4-5 star RB’s on the roster… this kid won’t have a chance… he’d be king, here!!
If they seem to be in the running on signing
I wonder if there us any chance they would offer 44.

115 letters and visits?
That’s a lot of recruiting points in EA Sports NCAA Football
The 'Cuse is in tha house, oh my God oh my God.
My glass half full statement pulled from one of those oscar type deals.
“it’s an honor just to be nominated”
This confirms HCDM & staff KNOW talent!
Good indication that all those under-the-radar kids we keep signing might blossom. Its great news that we were on this kid so early & often.
