The Fizz has discussed in depth the quickness Doug Marrone has picked up lately, acquiring pieces that potentially evolve the Orange into a speed-first team.
In fact, the latest FizzCast has a heavy focus on the athleticism that may end up on the Dome floor.
You all know Jonny Miller is set to hit the¬†grid for the ‘Cuse¬†this fall. The Fizz chatted with Miller during¬†signing day madness. Out of Mullen High in Denver, Miller had a teammate who’s a stud. Adonis Ameen-Moore.
Ameen-Moore is a low-built running back, most believing he’ll end up as a fullback in college. At 5’10,” and 215 pounds, you can see him as the Tony Fiammetta type if he gains enough lbs.
His speed? Not too bad either. a 4.55 40 yard dash isn’t too shabby for a guy who makes his money between the tackles.
You gotta expect Miller to try and talk this kid to the Orange. A school pipeline (like Towson Catholic in basketball) makes recruiting much easier.
That pipeline being two time zones away in Denver is a little unique? But if Syracuse needs to add talent no matter where it comes from these days.
