The Syracuse Orange recruiting team continued to build on their string of recent commitments on Saturday afternoon when they received a verbal from the unrated but versatile Shyheim Cullen, who plays linebacker and also had experience at running back.
Boston College, Rutgers, and Miami also considered Cullen.
Last season, Cullen totaled 60 tackles and 12.5 sacks for Lowell High School in Massachusetts.  He has solid size at 6’1” and 210 pounds.  He becomes the 14th member of the recruiting class of 2015. While his commitment is big, what is really important is that Cullen is from Massachusetts. 
Scott Shafer has started to open the gate for recruiting in 2015, and is diversifying his commitments.  Florida is an extremely popular recruiting zone for Syracuse football.  Of the 14 commits for the class of 2015, five are from Florida. 
But Shafer has started to pull players from other zones.  He is using his Midwestern roots to appeal to recruits like Andrejas Duerig or Cody Conway from Illinois.  Shafer is also reestablishing the Orange’s recruiting prowess in the mid-Atlantic and New England region.  Shafer already has one New Jersey recruit locked up, and two Connecticut recruits.  New Jersey is considered one of the most talented states with regards to high school football, and there would be huge implications for Shafer, George McDonald and co. to reestablish the Orange’s presence there.
2014’s recruiting class had only one player from New Jersey, and six from Florida alone.  There are three recruits from Pennsylvania, and six from Illinois.  Shafer’s ties to the area really helped him in his first recruiting class.  While having a presence in the Midwest and in Florida is very good, what Syracuse needs to do is become the predominant recruiter for New Jersey, Massachusets and the surrounding states.  No other teams in the area are laying claim to it (Rutgers and Boston College haven’t capitalized) and with another successful season, Syracuse could really start to work towards controlling the area and put Syracuse in the driver’s seat for recruiting in the coming years.

I was curious if you ever considered changing the page layout of your site? 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 1 or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?

Hi! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard work due to no backup. Do you have any methods to prevent hackers?
My spouse and I stumbled over here coming from a different website and thought I should check things out. I like what I see so now i’m following you. Look forward to looking into your web page yet again.

Wonderful blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any recommendations? Cheers!
Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a forty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!

Incredible! This blog looks just like my old one! It’s on a completely different topic but it has pretty much the same page layout and design. Wonderful choice of colors!
Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your content seem to be running off the screen in Safari. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know. The design look great though! Hope you get the issue resolved soon. Thanks

First off I want to say great blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing. I’ve had a difficult time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out. I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints? Appreciate it!
Wow that was odd. I just wrote an extremely long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t appear. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Regardless, just wanted to say superb blog!

Hi would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using? I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a tough time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
