A Sea Of Red

Former Syracuse commit, heavily pursued by Alabama and others, transferring from hometown Charlotte

Our running back room went from solid to deep over the weekend. Robert Washington has the potential to be our next Rashad Jennings type of player.

I would like to know the back story on why he left UNCC and why it took him over a year to transfer somewhere else. Either way, I am pumped that he is with us.

Back in 2015 Ole Miss had 4 guys carry the ball over 70 times. I could see Hickson, Pickett & Washington getting that kind of love.

I posted this in another thread, but it answers a lot of questions:

Appears to me that he did not get number of carries at UNC-C, as he thought he should have gotten.

We are certainly deep at RB position. Frank Boyd's name hasn't been mentioned much, but he could be best of the group.

Why are you not decrying this transfer? Where is your intellectual integrity?

Great pick up! Hope he’s kept himself in shape though. Watched an interview he gave his freshman year at Charlotte in which he was asked what he had to work on the most now that he was playing college ball, he was real honest and talked about how his work ethic and time management were real struggles and how he likes to just lay around and watch movies all day lol.

Thanks, followed yalls conversations on here for years. Decided it was finally time to join

Man if this guy has gotten through his work ethic struggles he will be a great addition. The better/deeper our backfield gets the more folks will have to respect the run opening up even better passing numbers than last year. To me that’s the most exciting thing about our backfield at the moment, the opportunities they will create for our WRs. Can’t get here soon enough!

What are some good Syracuse message boards. I'd love to read some of their reactions to this!

LOL thank you this is exactly what I needed to get me through the last hour of work

Someone posted on there he was applying for a waiver but that’s not correct. From my understanding he’s eligible immediately.

I'm almost 100% positive he will be able to play immediately due to the fact he has already sat out a year and still has eligibility left.

So essentially he was an incredibly talented dude who underperformed at UNCC due to either a bad work ethic or family drama behind the scenes.

On the glass half full side - the talent could still be there and he's gotten his life figured out.

On the glass half empty side - he still has no work ethic and flames out.

Either way, as long as there's no huge character issue morally, it's a quality use of a scholarship.

He was just removed from the roster btw

If you want to waste a day, check out the 13 pages on Joshua Mack That has to be some kind of message board record for discussing LU for a school not named JMU. We are in their heads.

Could be any number of reasons for that, but it's certainly not a good sign as far as his being a part of the team this year.

Always happy to welcome new members! I'm glad you decided to jump on board.

Wow. SU fan base really seems more concerned about Liberty than they are leading on. Looks like they slipped on the Mack pickup. Mack's dad was trying to make it happen. Must be due to location because SU has not been a very good team outside of last season's good fortune. I'm glad he ended up at Liberty. His skills and maturity should prove an asset to the team.

Seems like quite a head case with multiple issues. I just wonder if he could handle the atmosphere at Liberty. It is a pretty strict environment. Liberty ain't for everybody. Will require some serious adjustment support. From a school/team standpoint and developing a new brand, I must say that I don't understand this one. LU won 6 games (should have been eight) last season. With the new coaching staff and player additions, we should win at least 8 games this season. What's HCHF up to???

as the world turns...

"Liberty assistant athletic director for athletic communications Todd Wetmore said in an email that Washington was mistakenly added.

"At this point in time, he is not a member of the football team,” Wetmore said.""

He's either there or he isn't there.

We updated our story on Washington this morning
