Last week, Syracuse had its eyes on New Jersey for a basketball recruit.  This week, all eyes were on New Jersey for football reasons.
The Orange earned a huge verbal commitment from 3-star running back Dontae Strickland Saturday afternoon.  Strickland, a 6’0”, 185-pound player verbally committed to play for Syracuse in 2015 while visiting the school.  He is ranked the 22nd best recruit in the state of New Jersey.
Strickland attended South Brunswick High School, where he rushed for 988 yards and 11 touchdowns last season.  He also added 92 receiving yards.  Strickland was a two-way player in high school, also tallying 36 tackles and two interceptions as a defensive back.  He was recruited as a running back, however.
The Orange’s main competition for Strickland was in-state Rutgers.  The Scarlet Knights, along with Georgia Tech, Virginia, West Virginia, UMass, and Temple had also extended Strickland offers.
Strickland is now the ninth commitment for the recruiting class of 2015, and is also the third running back of the class.  He and Tyrone Perkins are the better of the three, while Jordan Fredericks is also a very solid recruit.  Strickland is a skilled runner who can cut nicely through holes.  With the Orange’s strong offensive line, this could be a great pairing.  However, he also displays strong downhill attributes and can cut to the outside.
With nine current commits, the Orange has the 37th best recruiting class in the nation for 2015 and the sixth best ACC recruiting class.  For comparison, Clemson, the top ACC class, has 20 recruits.  Florida State has 12.  The Orange is still in search of its first 4- or 5-star recruit for 2015.
Strickland’s verbal might also be good news for the Orange, because he and his teammate Daivon Ellison want to play together in college.  Ellison is a 3-star cornerback.
Tight Ends coach Bobby Acosta is the main recruiter for Syracuse in New Jersey.¬† His next target, Daiquan Kelly, carries the ambiguous¬†athlete¬†tag.¬† Kelly can reportedly play wide receiver, tight end, safety and linebacker and is a 4-star recruit.¬† Syracuse is currently third on his list, behind Michigan State and Rutgers.¬†¬†The new football facilities certainly can’t hurt Syracuse’s case, though. ¬†

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is needed to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% positive. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on several websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform. I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated!
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You obviously know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?
I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the structure of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

Subscribers is definitely the alternative I wanna speak about. People consider the way to get youtube views as well as the first thing that pops in their scalp is subscribers. They believe that whenever they’ve got far more subscribers then theyll get considerably more views. This is really false. I’ll clarify why. Subscribers are solely good any time you first submit the playback quality. The reason being they should get the video and place up feedback into it. Then, this might take you in the most discussed listing and more people will happen and observe leave comments. It really is enable you to get more views yet it is only as you are have been getting a listing not as a result of your video. Subscribers are perfect to own and not as essential as individuals think.
Wonderful blog! I found it while searching on Yahoo News. Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Many thanks
