Although it may not hurt Syracuse, it can't help. Ideally, players wait until after the bowl game to announce these decisions. Sure, he's graduating but still a distraction. Plus, I wonder if he has moved on mentally? It's like giving your two week notice when leaving a job, it's hard to give the job you're leaving 100%.

So we should worry about Hageman, Vereen and the rest of the seniors, because they're movimg on?

that guys is foregoing his senior year and could play more if he wanted to, not the case with our guys

Good luck young man. Familiarize yourself with the acronym UDFA. You will likely make less of an NFL impact than Delone Carter.

Yet another great Syracuse playing going into the NFL. They are the greatest team of our generation (just ask them)!

I'll be looking for his name to pop up in the sixth round of this year's NFL draft.

No doubt he will overshadow Brown, Davis, Little, and Csonka as the greatest RB to ever come out of Syracuse when all is said and done.

It is not hard to give your best after resigning, if you have any character and pride in what you have done there.

It may be better for him, mentally, being able to bail on Finals and all...

I don't think it will matter much, once we go up by 2 TDs after our firs two drives I expect Suckacuse to pass the ball almost exclusively. Maybe a draw here and there...but otherwise, they will be playing catch up.

How did Maroney do in his last game?
