Building the Trenches: OL Aaron Roberts Verbally Commits to Syracuse

Offensive lineman Aaron Roberts verbally commits to the Orange after his official visit.

There is a silver lining to this weekend after Syracuse received a thrashing from Clemson. Aaron Roberts, the 300-pound offensive lineman Syracuse has been tracking on the recruiting trail, committed to the Orange a day after his official visit to the Hill.

We said last week how this visit could be the deciding factor in the race for Roberts. He was down between Syracuse and the Fighting Illini before deciding to commit to SU. His commitment is non-binding until he signs his LOI on National Signing Day. Roberts tweeted out how he was impressed by how the “campus was rocking” for the game. After all, Syracuse fans did show in strong numbers on Saturday despite the loss.

The Illinois product is the first offensive lineman to join the 2014, making him the thirteenth commit to the class. He also joins fellow Chicagoan Lamar Dawson, along with Parris Bennett and Colton Moskal as the Midwestern pipeline the Orange have been improving recently. DeAndre Smith was a major factor in landing Roberts, in addition to other Midwest players, because of his background and recruiting prowess in the area.

In his interview three months ago, Roberts seemed annoyed at how there were only a few schools who offered him, while the powerhouses were all interested in his fellow teammate Jamarco Jones. He said how he used that as motivation to get better and impress some of the coaches who visited his high school. While more substantial offers did not come in, Roberts seemed to have a stronger connection with the schools that did offer him earlier in the process. Roberts has the build of a classic case of an underrated player who could benefit in an SU setting.

As for the state of the team, the Orange is only losing center Macky MacPherson after this season and has a relatively young offensive line. This gives Roberts time to groom and develop, rather than be rushed to fill a need in the near future. It also gives Roberts an opportunity to see where he fits best on the line. 300 pounds is a lot of body, so it will be crucial for Pat Perles, the offensive line coach, and George McDonald, the offensive coordinator, to see where Roberts would most benefit.

An interesting tidbit was how Roberts was already recruiting players on his Twitter just hours after committing to the Orang—including Grafton TE Beau Benzschawel, who has Syracuse on the top of his list. The continued effort by commits shows how they know if they want to get a good class around them, they have to put in their part in getting them to Upstate New York.

    I want to express appreciation to you for rescuing me from this incident. As a result of searching through the internet and meeting notions which are not helpful, I figured my life was over. Being alive without the presence of strategies to the difficulties you have solved all through your review is a critical case, and the ones that would have in a wrong way damaged my career if I had not encountered your web page. That knowledge and kindness in maneuvering all areas was very helpful. I’m not sure what I would’ve done if I had not come across such a solution like this. I can also now look forward to my future. Thank you very much for the impressive and effective help. I will not hesitate to refer your blog to any individual who requires tips on this area.

    When you declare war on journalists and the journalism profession, it shows the contempt you have for the people who put food on your table. Linus, your salary of Sh2.5 million comes from these people you have no respect for. Any media house, NMG included, is driven by what journalists write. NMG would not be what it is today were it not for us. Instead of appreciating the contribution we have made – we daily put our lives on the line to bring food to your table and other managers who have also shown contempt for us – you opted to rubbish the foot soldiers who are your pillars in the high office.
