Reports surfaced late Thursday night that Syracuse has offered to four-star defensive tackle Danny O’Brien of Flint, MI. He says he will make an official visit sometime by the end of the summer to CNY. Officially listed at 6’3″, 275, O’Brien once again fits the bill as the space-eating impact DT Doug Marrone has been looking for in the trenches.
Other schools interested in Danny reads as a who’s who of college football: Alabama, Michigan, Ohio State, LSU, Notre Dame, Tennessee, USC and Wisconsin (among others). After losing out on Ishaq and Kevin McReynolds, O’Brien becomes the next elite defensive recruit Marrone sets his eyes on.
Meantime, the identity of “Recruit X” is still a mystery. The Fizz connected the dots to unveil a potential scenario where it was problem child Nu’keese Richardson. But many believe that’s too far-fetched for the conservative Marrone.
The waiting game has become an assault on the clock, every Orange football fan’s eyes skittishly watching days turn into weeks. On February 2nd, now 16 days ago, Doug Marrone said his 2011 recruiting class was not finished just yet. As he basked in the glow of National Signing Day’s haul, Marrone admitted there was still potentially be one last piece.
It was un-Doug-like, placing a tasty morsel of information (a clue even!) in front of the assembled media. Marrone has solidified a reputation of giving little information about his team, even less of those not yet or no longer on it. But here he was admitting one extra present might be waiting under the tree.
Marrone insisted the situation would resolve itself in approximately two weeks, which we have now passed. Who could “Recruit X” be? Was it, indeed, Richardson? His high school coach said the Orange had recruited the former Tennessee Vol who had found trouble at every turn in his young life. But it seemed to out of the ordinary; button-up Marrone (who had brought in a high school team captain with every one of his ’11 commits), eschewing the “right guy” and going after a young man with as much baggage as JetBlue?
The clock continues to tick and there is no sign of life from Nu’keese. Google news brings up nothing. There has been nary a whisper of his name around the program and on the SU campus. After what was predicted to be an eventful Signing Day for Richardson has turned into a ghost town. Tumbleweeds at Nu’keese’s house.
Could it have been another young man who committed elsewhere and thus Marrone is not at liberty to speak? While delusional optimists may have believed  it was consensus #1 recruit in the country Jadeavon Clowney, who declared for South Carolina earlier this week, it was absolutely not. Who? When? The wait continues.

D.A., my hopes of getting Jadeavon Clowney to Syracuse were dashed when he announced and signed with South Carolina. I wish him well. I guess now you won’t have to worry about filling in for Scoop Jardine at the point position on the basketball team.
I was surprised/shocked that you used my post in another article about Mr. Clowney last week when you were talking about Nu’Keese as the possible “Recruit X”.
I wanted to call you yesterday when you were on the talk show here in Syracuse,to thank you. I couldn’t get through in time, so D.A. thank you for keeping us informed about all of the possible recruits.
Looks like Coach Marrone is putting together anoth good class for 2012. His list includes 5 ESPNU 150 recruits along with this 4 star athlete. I hope everything goes well for the Orange this year.
GO CUSE
Thanks Ron. Very much appreciated. Marrone is now targeting a bunch of the big boys, which is the next step in this process. If he could pull in even just one Top150 recruit, it would mark an enormous step forward. Let’s keep our fingers crosses. And keep sending that feedback!
Couldn’t ‘Recruit X’ be Dale Peterman, isn’t he trying to sure up his academics to get in to SU?
I, too, was wondering about Peterman. Although he doesn’t fit the description of mysterious as he was on the verbal list for about a year. More mysterious, is the whereabouts of Dom Timbers.
P.S. Maybe recruit x has to go to prep school to get his grades up. If so, we’ll have to wait until next year for the unveiling.
Its Allan wassonga bcus he has nowhere else 2 go bus no1 else he is considering still has spots
I believe Allan Wassonga signed with Marshall in early Feb.
D.A. – someone over on the scout board mentioned recruit X may be a recruit by the name of ‘Frost’… The post got deleted for some reason… maybe considered pay forum material… not sure… Anyways, the only guy I could find for 2011 still un-comitted is Tazmon Frost, FB recruit out of Atlantic HS (Daytona Beach, FL area)…
His scout profile is useless: http://recruiting.scout.com/a.z?s=73&p=8&c=1&nid=5140640
…but – a FB recruit would make sense for our needs… also, maybe just coincidence, but he is wearing orange on hi myspace page: http://www.facebook.com/people/Tazmon-Unforgettable-Frost/100000638995585
err… make that Facebook page…
Wasonga isn’t listed on Marshall’s 2011 recruiting class according to the schools website.
I figured that we would pick up Harmon Brown or Wasonga, but i guess not.
I savor, cause I found just what I used to be taking a look for. You’ve ended my 4 day lengthy hunt! God Bless you man. Have a nice day. Bye
1. Tout d’abord au sujet de “pas de pub= pas de be9ne9fices”: Il y a de9je0 le fait que google aticalute9s est incluse dans la recherche universelle et contribue donc directement e0 des be9ne9fices.Mais il y a surtout le fait que dans le monde commercial (et ailleurs), on fait surtout des be9ne9fices en e9largissant les points d’attractions de cliente8le ffbt-ce meame lorsque ces derniers ne sont pas, eux, rentables. C’est une strate9gie majeure de tout marketing.2. Re9flexion faite apre8s avoir e9crit ma premie8re re9ponse, je me suis dit que lle lobbying de la presse allemande s’e9tait inspire9e de l’”e9chec” belge. En passant par une loi ou projet de loi (je ne connais pas les de9tails), Google se trouvera (it) en Allemagne non pas face e0 quelques re9calcitrants qu’il peut sanctionner, mais face e0 un Etat. Sauf erreur de ma part (le cas devient ancien), Google avait meame de9sindexe9 les pages non vise9 par google aticalute9s des journaux qui avaient gagne9 en justice. Et ces derniers e9taient aussi perdants face e0 leur concurrents dont google continuaient e0 publier les infos aticalute9s. Tout ce petit jeu de bras de fer ne sera pas possible avec la solution allemande.Et l’Allemagne est avec 80 millions d’habitants, c’est autre chose que la Belgique, celle-ci n’e9tant d’ailleurs qu’une puce dans le monde francophone. Si google supprime l’indexation, des journaux allemands, il supprime quasi tout google aticalute9 en allemand, gardant seule la presse autrichienne et suisse. C’est autre chose que de perdre le contenu de quelques-uns des journaux belges. Cela laisse aussi un vide que, sait-on jamais, pourrait exploiter un initiative locale qui serait plus favorable, pe9cuniairement parlant , e0 la presse allemande. Mais L’Allemagne n’a pas encore gagne9. Le lobbying de google est ultra puissant.3. En ce qui concerne ton point 1 “le rapport de force est diffe9rent !”, d’accord, je le disais aussi et c’est bien pour cela qu’il faut une action correctrice du pouvoir public” pour que cela se fasse avec e9quilibre, sans que le plus fort impose sa loi.4. sur la question des petits et des grands sites de presse, je ne connais pas le proble8me suffisamment et ne saurais pas en parler.Quant e0 qui e0 besoin de l’autre, l’un a besoin de l’autre et re9ciproquement. N’e9tant d’ailleurs pas spe9cialistes de la matie8re, j’en resterai le0 sur tout ce sujet, meame si il ya beaucoup plus e0 en dire.

I’m planning on doing an English Literature with Creative Writing undergraduate degree course, beginning in 2010. Initially, I just wanted to study English, but recently I’ve decided I would be better suited to English Literature with Creative Writing. Are there any universities that are especially good for English and creative writing? A lot of the universities I had previously been looking at don’t offer the course, and The Times University Guide only offers an English league table. All answers appreciated! (-:.
