Syracuse football’s offense closed the 2013 season red-hot with a scorching scoring attack. Many returning starters and promising fresh faces have already reignited Orange Nation based on eye-popping highlights from Syracuse’s “Fan Fest” at SU Soccer Stadium over the weekend.
Scott Shafer recapped his ball club’s overall performance at the event. He was pleased with the wide receivers, which, along with the rest of the O, will be off to Fort Drum for a third straight summer on Tuesday. Shafer via Cuse.com:
“Jarrod West made some nice plays to start things off for us. I was pleased with the way (senior running back) Adonis (Ameen-Moore) ran the ball. I thought (sophomore wide receiver Sean) Avant made a nice play in the corner there with a touchdown, that was good. (Freshman wide receiver) Steve Ishmael made a hell of a catch down the sideline, so it was good to see some plays being made.‚Äù
This season’s group of receivers is one with many questions, but one with a lot of excitement. Tons of ways to dive into Shaf’s comments. Nice to hear Jarrod West reeled in a deep ball from Terrel Hunt. Criticism has come Hunt’s way for his inability to heave it long. He connected with a receiver in West that is in desperate use of a bounce-back year. Sean Avant had brief moments as a go-to pass catcher last year, so he too getting in on the action is a great sign. And perhaps what’s best to hear is the 3-star, Florida product Steve Ishmael is already opening George McDonald’s eyes.
What you could you call I guess “negative” is we heard nothing of Brisly Estime and Ashton Broyld’s presences. Again, Fan Fest is for the fans and is simply just practice. But, just to spoil SU fans, it would’ve been encouraging to hear notes on Estime, arguably the Orange’s most lethal weapon heading into 2014, and Broyld, one of Hunt’s most targeted receivers. Expect this pair to explode at Fort Drum.
Considering Syracuse lost KJ Williams to ineligibility, the program still showboats a stud-worthy clan of WRs. Without mentioning Estime or Broyld allows us to recall that Sean Avant and Jarrod West are legitimate threats in the passing game.
Other takeaways from Shafer’s remarks include a shout-out to Adonis Ameen-Moore’s bulldozing in the backfield. Being “pleased” with his effort is a good start. Everybody wants to point towards PTG to lead the run game. He’s undoubtedly capable but an on and off the field presence is crucial from Ameen-Moore. The young guns behind are certainly contributors, and a helping hand from Adonis doesn’t hurt either.
Heading to Fort Drum midweek, SU looks to flash this offense even more. No shocker Hunt has been leading the charge, according to Shafer:
“I also thought Terrel (Hunt) did a good job running the offense, he couldn’t have had too many incompletions.”
Hunt’s leadership can only strengthen as his time spent with this wide receiver group becomes more tightly knit. We expected speed and full-force attack from the offense. The receivers are off to the races with 19 days remaining until Villanova visits the Carrier Dome.

I was pleasantly pleased/surprised with the performance of the team on Saturday. Shafer/Mcdonald has sped the game up. KI posted on Saturday that they were running a play every 10-12 seconds,I guesss I was wrong it was evdery 18-21 seconds.
I thought the recievers(West,Avant and Ishmael)looked great. Addonis Ameen-Moore is going to be an animal this year.
Estime was injured in practice on Friday (sprained ankle) and sat out Fan Fest, according to the Post-Standard.
my impressions on wide receivers was that ben lewis stepped up to the plate and made some nice plays as well as sean avant. west, broyld,ishmeal,also looked real good as well. very deep group of wide receivers on the team. i like wilson and kimble’s long throws but hunt is the man this year. fan fest was a good time and think they need to have these festivities on saturday always because that was the only reason i made it..
I really hate saying this but fella’s I don’t think Alin Edouard is coming back to the cuse to play football.
What about Naesean Howard getting suspended indefinitely,and will miss the trip North to Fort Drum? That doesn’t look good either.
Ron, any info. you can share?
DR. Bill
on what issue? I was told last week when I mentioned Alin Edouard that he would return to campus in time for the team traveling to Fort Drum. So your guess is as good as mine.
On Naesean Howard getting suspended indefinitely,that’s a shocker to me and as usual coach shfer gave the media the routine answer as to why. Violation of team rules. All I can say is that it has to be a serious situation for him to be suspended indefinitely.
I hope Alin Edouard can get his family situation cleared up and return to school. It was not likely that he would have played this year anyway. Better for him to take the shirt and get stronger and be ready to compete next Spring!
I have a feeling Alin won’t come back also. You didn’t hear anything of Estime because he wasn’t there. Excited about West, Avant and Ishmael but I believe the offense will revolve around Broyld, Estime and PTG.
For those who don’t think Alin Edouard is coming back to Syracuse, I think you should go take a look at his twitter feed. You might be right, but the way I read the tweets and re-tweets, he’s dealing with some difficult issues, but will be back.
J.M.
I’m old school,I don’t do the twitter thing. Thanks for letting us know about what he’s been saying on twitter.
I hope that he does indeed return to Syracuse before the start of classes on the 25th.
Ron,
No worries. There’s always a danger in reading too much into posts of 140 characters or less on twitter, but he’s still tweeting and re-tweeting about Syracuse, so that’s something positive. Let’s hope the issues he’s dealing with resolve themselves soon and he can get back to school.
